That was an excellent one.
... View MoreAbsolutely amazing
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreAfter see the title of the movie, I was quite confused about the main theme of the film. Well, as a director, 'Shoojit Sircar' successfully just overcome this project. As a new actor 'Ayushmann Khurrana' played so smoothly his role as sperm donor was just fabulous. He is a very good singer indeed. I like that music which was sang by him. On the other hand, I am just love with 'Yami Gautam', she looks so sweet in this film. Her appearance made the tough sequence more fresh & alive. Lets talk about the main theme of the movie. As I mentioned above, the theme is quite unique and it was quite bit challenging to make such movie in this topic. I like the plot, script, expressions based on the scenario or sequence. I believe, this movie will make you smile, thinking about a situation when a family lives without child due to their own biological problem. Finally, I'll say- Must watch this one. You will enjoy it. :)
... View MoreWell may be not many Indian don't know that is the reason they are Compelled to give high rating for this movie. Though the movie itself is good if only it's not the rip off the movie "Starbuck". Well it happens in India that they don't have copy right constraint on anything. That is the reason Indian producers, directors, Music directors and everyone keep lifting the movies, music and pretty much everything and present like it's their original idea. Sad part is Hollywood or other countries don't even know that a violation of copyright happened in India every other day.The new comer actor did a good job, still it's a rip off and they don't even mention or give credit to original movie they never does anyway.
... View MoreJust watched this movie today, and I must say, the initial reason to watch this movie was the music, I had heard "Pani Da Rang" on Youtube a million times and also heard that the theme of this movie is a little off-track, so I watched it today and I am quite impressed.The movie discusses a topic which would not be openly discussed - issues of infertility and sperm donation. Well crafted story, with funny dialogues, The best performance is by the infertility doctor Chadda, played by Annu Kapoor. Amazing performance, with some funny dialogues, Ayushmann and Yami have also given a great performance for their Bollywood debuts.The movie gets serious in the 2nd half and I thought it would end on a sad note, but it ended on a happy note, which was very nice. Other than the issue of sperm donation, the movie also shows the cultures of two different parts of the country and what happens when they intermingle.Music is very good, "Pani Da Rang" easily is the best song in the soundtrack, but other songs like "Mar Jaiyan", "Whiskey Rum", "Ho Jaane De" are also very good and melodious to listen to.Overall , I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone to watch it at least once. This movie definitely deserves 9/10 in my opinion.
... View MoreAs I am writing this, about 5000 people have rated this film; 25% of them have rated it a 10. 50% of them have rated it a 9 or 8 and the remaining 25% have rated it a 7 or less. I am not going to even bother with the bottom 25% - they exist to make life interesting and adventurous. The top 25%: glad you got it. The remaining 50% who rated it 8 or 9 - I ask you this humbly and earnestly: Why? Lets look at the film as objectively as in my opinion, I can. The script of the film is excellent; no major glitches, hardly any minor ones, respect for the audience's intelligence, very authentic (if you happen to be familiar with the Delhi milieu, you will surely agree), multi-dimensional characters, 3 complete acts, extremely good dialogues. Technically, as in cinematography, production design, art direction, sound, sfx, it has limited scope due to the script, but within that limited scope, very competent. The editing could perhaps have chopped off about 1-2 minutes in the pre-climax when there is a conflict in the protagonists' lives. The music is very apt for the tone and flow of the film, Paani Da Rang being my personal favourite. Very ably directed by Soojit Sircar. He had a fantastic script to work with and his genius was in adhering to it. He has also done a brilliant job in his choice of actors. Ayushman Khurana, Anu Kapoor, Yami Gautam and Dolly Ahluwalia are the principal characters who have all done a fabulous job. But the diligence of Sircar lies in his choice of his supporting cast. There are at least another 20 speaking characters in the film and their competent characterization in writing and performing lends tremendous credibility to the film. From a financial standpoint, the film was made on a very reasonable budget (Rs. 5 crore as per wikipedia) and marketed appropriately earning over 9 times the cost (again as per wikipedia). So the producers have done justice to their investors as well as distributors. Great balance of art and commerce.Now, moving on to the heart from the brain, this film in my opinion is phenomenal. It is a great comedy not just for its laugh-off-your-chair moments, but for its numerous bring-a-smile-to-your-face moments and touch-your-heart moments. In the world of films, most of us love categorization as per genres and this would fall into the feel-good comedies section at your DVD store or your online streaming website. And we are unfortunately programmed to think that feel-good is not worthy of a 10. There should be some larger-than-life greatness or a very grand idea about how to make the world a better place for a movie to be rated a 10. I will just say this: (aside from the fact that as a healthy father married to the healthy mother of our healthy 8 month old grace from God baby girl, I balled my eyes out at the end of this 2 hour joyful bliss) Hrishikesh Mukherjee would have been very proud of Shoojit Sircar. Definitely the best of 2012 thus far.
