If somebody uninitiated to Indian cinema asks me to show him a recent Indian movie, I would probably choose this movie.....A class in its own...So many techniques have been so brilliantly executed that the director deserves kudos for it....If I talk only about the techniques after watching this movie, I would have been an unfeeling idiot.....For above everything, this movie delivers a strong message....its made out of bits and pieces of commonplace middle-class life-a pie of our frustrations, our joys our tensions, anxieties....
Why such violence????? The world is such a small place to live in...we are but tiny specs in the fathomless universe..yet, we cant live in harmony...we fight among ourselves about petty things...We dont know what or who God is....yet we fight because someone else does not follow our method of reverence for the superpower guiding us....we build walls in the name of religion, castes, sects....we love to loathe at others..overseeing what we are...petty lives....if there are criminals, thats only because the society has made them so....instead of reforming and obliterating crimes, we vent our anger on "criminals"....the very acts creating more "criminals" and terrorists...everyone in us has a Satan inside...its the job of everybody else to contain others.....positive feedback :) ...despite all our follies, still there is something about humans thats worth praising..with time, we forget everything and life moves on, the spirit lives on...
The above paragraph may have been a string of rambling thoughts...but I am helpless..the film makes you think...The film might have been better without the lengthy dialogues in the 2nd half..yet...if I could have directed a film like this, I would have called it a day :) Superb camera angles, multiples plots brilliantly knitted together, excellent editing, background scores intelligently adjusted from sitar to rock, satirical rib-tickling comedy interspersed between grim scenes, a strong message..what more do you want in a movie!!!!!
Overall 8/10
Direction 9/10
