I know I’m too late to post a review on this flick (please hang me for this
), but it would have been an injustice if I would have missed a flick which celebrates 100 years of Indian cinema.
Not a typical movie with a high beam star cast and intertwining stories at the end, but a flick with actors who know how to act. It is an episode based stories (with no connection with one another) one after another (30 mins each) for 2 hours
The objective of the film is very clear; celebrate 100 years of Indian cinema by portraying abstract stories far from the normal spectrum of scripts. Yes, the stories in the movie are very unusual, the ones which are seldom used for commercial purpose.
Each story tries to teach us an abstract lesson to life. From the 4 stories directed by Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar and Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar and Anurag’s episodes are my favourite. The stories are more or less like abstract paintings at an art gallery, for which everyone will decipher a different message from it.
There is no exceptional performance in any of the stories, but everyone has done a justice to their respective roles. A special mention can be given to actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui who is improvising acting movie after a movie and knows the high stakes of the industry.
Amit Trivedi with his contemporary music composition does not woo the audience, but yes one song touched me; a song called “Murabba”, a song of hope - lost and found, Light of life – bright and dark.
Overall, nothing great about this movie, made for city masses and people who love to derive a meaning out of a story and not searching for entertainment within such flicks.
Score: 3/5
