Hansal Mehta’s Favourite Indian Male Actors

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta&#39;s personal curation of India’s most unforgettable male performers.

A man struggles to survive after he unintentionally locks himself up in a high rise devoid of food, water and electricity.

We know what we are going to get into when watching the movie. It&#39;s not going to be the typical &quot;entertainer&quot; or &quot;Masala&quot; popcorn fare. It&#39;s for the discerning and viewer who likes to watch something different and gritty, similar to the so-called &quot;art&quot; movies of the yore. So, for the average viewer looking for kicks a minute entertainment, it is going to be ZERO rating. But, getting that out of the way, for the rest of the viewers, how does it work out? I liked the acting of RajKumar. Very nicely done. To carry an entire movie frame to frame and not interacting with anyone is a huge challenge. There was another similar movie called Phobia, whether the lady who did the role, overacted beyond tolerance. But, here, the acting was terrific and real and in fact carries a weak script to something believable. The photography aspect is another key element in such movies (any movie, but here it needs to take the viewer in to the proceedings without any crutch such as beautiful locales, or people or outdoors etc). And it is good here, without resorting to any fancy gimmicks. No weird angles, claustrophobic inducements or other fancy stuff. Minimal, but works well. I loved the previous movies of this director (Vikram M) and full credit to him to make something different from his previous fares. I gave it 5 stars, because i think the script was weak. It&#39;s possible to get locked in (i did), but somehow it feels convoluted that one can&#39;t escape for so long; and when he escapes it seems unreal, that he has the strength to trapeze like a tight rope artist down five balconies after starving for days.

Rajkumar Rao is the best actor in bollywood and he proved it in this movie...what a performance! This movie is like the house version of cast away with a thin plot. It sure got me hooked but I never felt sympathy for the character who was trapped inside a flat because there were several ways he could have escaped and he seemed like an educated and qualified man so those ideas could have easily come in his mind, even my 5 year old kid said he could burn the door and escape...that&#39;s where I knew the movie is stupid and writers never want him to escape easily..5/10 only for RRs acting.

The story of the movie is quite innovative and interesting but the interpretations of his survival through out the movie are childish and not acceptable at all... Rajkumar Rao is a Gem of bollywod but the movie presentation is not very good. Felt bore after watching 1 hour

Although it&#39;s a Bollywood adoption of Cast Away , the cult classic , there are few flaws which cannot make this film closer to the masterpiece. RajKummar Rao did 100% justice to the role, no doubt about it .

Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. The movie was interesting at beginning. The movie became boring as it deals with the same problem throughout the movie. The movie had many vulgar scenes. Good Movie.
