It's got power-pact performances from the entire cast. Ohh I loved Kapur playing the so very Grey Mandola - Good and Evil at the same time, transitioning smoothly and never for once looking out of place. Bijli seemed an apt name for Anoushka in the movie, however I thought she didn't bring anything new to the table it was all too similar , nothing that we'd not seen. But what was missing from it all was perhaps some good consistent storytelling. There was sattire , slapstick comedy, over the top dialogues with slangs thrown in at the end of each sentence, I felt as if there was too much of everything... and finally which is why for me it missed its point. It talks of serious issues and I would have liked to feel for the hapless villagers of Mandola but well, I couldn't . It left me confused and disappointed as it could have been so much more!
Sunday morning: I just heard Rajeev Masand's review this morning, and he seems to have really enjoyed it. So, definitely many have loved this movie and enjoyed it to the fullest. As for me, without my food for thought I head for the Fridge - for the kind that always leaves me happy and satisfied.
It really almost never disappoints...
