One by Two (2014)
Another critic compelling movie from Abhay Deol ... Brain twister for easy going audience...
One by Two is definitely a super strong movie and has its charismatic appeal in the right segment of people. Watched it lately and disappointed over the poor rating from so called Khan lovers. Let me tell you first, its really of no taste who want just some stereotypical bollywood romance and drama movies... You will never find any item number, guy chasing girl, girl flirting guys, love-shaadi romance, bull fight over girl or family, and wtf... no villain... the complete disrespect to typical Khanllywood.
This movie is about life... handling life for a regular living-the-life-over-job type of person (Abhay Deol), rich yet-to-start starters (Preeti Desai), life in complete mess (Lillete Dubey) and other general daily life characters.
Abhay Deol played a typical Indian guy who is just dumped by her girlfriend over money and boredom and he is trying every bit to get her back in his life and at the end changed his mind and accept the s**t life throws at him by throwing it back. His journey from disheartened lover (Devdas) to a willing and overcoming character is marvelous and only Abhay can play this type of role better. Added to that is his typical witty one-liners he throws in all his movies.
Preeti Desai played an aspiring dancer who is over the time chose to learn how to handle emotional issues and overcome it by just wiping it out and you need not to throw it back each time. Being a daughter to a mistress of a rich and famous person, she chose to be with her mother over her career achievements. And throughout her journey she also learned how to make the weakest path the path of success (choreography of Abhay's song to get wild card entry in the competition). Though Preeti is not as talented as Abhay but she managed somehow to play her role near to perfect.
Lillete Dubey, one of my favorite, the lonely mistress of a rich businessman, a single mother, faced all the trauma thorough her life to raise her daughter. She never left her alone and being an alcoholic never gave her comfort also. Though a bit disturbing all the time, her love for her daughter and the way she support her is worth the character. No one in this real world can support their illegitimate heirs so perfectly. Her acting is just superb.
Rest supporting cast are also good. The ACP mamaji's humorous poetry specifically last one "Aisa bhi kya... Zindagi aur ration ki dukaan mein..." is a must watch. The friends of Amit (Abhay) played a good sport and their humor timing is worth a watch. The girl Amit was forced to see for marriage by her parents, Shishika, is also quite entertaining... Her all time force and the goodbye kiss was breathtaking. Amit's parents role was also bring dimple in your cheeks.
The story and the script is great. Screenplay is fantastic and not boring at all. Keeps you engage for the next. Music is enjoyable, has a lot of meaning and not at all typical bollywood type. And... direction is just superb. And yes, I always think is it Abhay who choose these directors or they choose Abhay as in all of his movies he just go with the flow of direction and you don't feel at all like watching a movie.
And finally its a underrated movie by these money churning star giving morons and idiotic audiences. If you wanna enjoy it alone or with some same age persons, you will find it more hilarious. Definitely a no child entertainment. Just take a DVD and watch !!! You will not regret watching it !!!
