When I saw the climax of this movie, I confidently predicted what the story would be and what would happen at the end.
But, then this movie was released to rave reviews at a foreign film festival and Manoj Bajpayee, who happens to be one of my favorite actors received rave reviews for his acting from all the critics.
In addition to this, the presence of Neeraj Kabi and Ranvir Shorey made me give this movie a shot.
As a cinema lover who despises the horrendous "paisa-vasool" films being churned out by the Hindi film industry, I wanted this movie to blow my mind.
Now, while the acting performances of the entire cast was spectacular, this movie fell short when it came to the story-line and direction. Despite, having all the right cards the director absolutely folded. AND the biggest disappointment was that my earlier mentioned prediction was 100% accurate thereby ridding me of any possible suspense.
While the cast of this movie deserves full credit, the makers do not.
Summary: for all the fans of popcorn cinema, this movie could act like a stepping stone towards appreciating proper cinema and nuanced acting. For cine-lovers like me, this was a miss.
