That was an excellent one.

Dreadfully Boring

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Once again a short budget movie came with a surprise like 'Udaan, 'Tere Bin Laden' , etc. Brilliantly written and directed by Subash Kapoor. Fanatastic cast , each and every one was appropriate for the role. No forced comedy, , Fantastic characterization and very good Climax. Rajat Kapoor, Manu Joshi, Amol Gupte, Sanjay Mishra and Neha Dhupia all delivered effortlessly. Its absurdity is what struck me the most... some really out-n-out whacky moments there...and Am glad Sanjay Mishra finally got a lead role of sorts...... Even the cast with 1-2 scenes were very good especially English Class teacher . loved some of the dialogues ... recession ke time pe aati to wud have had much more impact......Watch it and you wont bedisappointed for sure ;)

Writer director Subhash Kapoor comes up with a highly original and entertaining black comedy in the form of 'Phas Gaya Re Obama'. Taking today's issues like recession and its effect on society, whether it's the once wealthy American Indian or the villagers, the film uses this in its premise and how the despair of these people lead to desperate consequences. And, this is done with a sense of humour that is sarcastic, witty and amusing.The art direction and cinematography are superb. The sets look authentic. The pacing is a tad slow, especially in the first half but it quickly picks up in the second half. The music is minimally used.The best performance comes from Manu Rishi who displays excellent comic timing.. Sanjay Mishra and Amol Gupte are also very good. Rajat Kapoor does fine in the sequences that require him to be restrained. However, he does look uncomfortable in the scenes that required him to be more dramatic. Neha Dhupia is miscast. The role would have been excellent for someone like Konkona Sen Sharma, Divya Dutta or Raveena Tandon. To be fair to Dhupia, she does try. It's just not the kind of role she's suited for.The highlight of 'Phas Gaya Re Obama' is Subhash Kapoor. It is his screenplay and direction that keeps the viewer engrossed from start to finish. During a time when Hindi cinema is churning out one stale product after another, 'Phas Gaya Re Obama' comes as a breath of fresh air.

Picked up the VCD from the store and it was lying around for 2 weeks. Decided to watch it today and enjoyed it. Love the way they have cracked satires on recession and the kidnapping racket in India. Rajat Kappor of "Mahesh Uncle" fame gives a measured performance but the most likable character for me is "Anni" in the film. Remember the actor who played Abhay deol's friend in Oye lucky lucky oye.The movie had its quota of comical moments and gave me some good laughter. The narrative slacks a bit but the plethora of hilarious characters and moments saves the day. Only if they could have found a way get around neha dhupia.

This a Brilliant movie and deserves all the accolades in the world. The way movie moves from one instance to the other is just flawless, the whole story has a sense to it. I don't know how to put it in words but this movie is such realistic depiction of India that it never feels absurd or impossible. The picturization is so beautiful, the language of characters is so natural, the acting so true that everyone added value to the film. Dhupia looked sexy, better than what she looks with short clothes. Foremost I want to congratulated this little known director for the GREAT effort and tremendous movie. Please know that your Screenplay, writing and Direction has completely blowen away, us - viewers !I hope I could have watched this movie in the theater. Best luck Mr. Kapoor for your future endeavors and I will definitely watch your next movie.Thanks a ton for the entertainment ! Sidds.
