Okay.. Describing this movie in a paragraph or two and doing justice to it is a daunting task in itself and then using the correct words for the description is even more difficult. After watching Dev D i thought Anurag Kashyap has given his best and then as most filmmakers he might not be able to top it up. But i was proved wrong and that too so soon.
The first word that comes to my mind is AMAZING. The whole thought which starts from a simple song by sahir ludhyanvi and then coming out with such a tight script is just a genius' work. And the layers in the movie where parallel lines are being simultaneously being portrayed in the constant struggle of the characters which coincide in the last part of the movie.
Most people (even those who have already seen the movie) think its about college politics or the struggle for a separate rajputana state and has a 70s struggling flavour to it. But in the end you realize that all those things are sub-plots and the movie is about a simple need of recognition as legitimate children for a brother-sister pair. They need that recognition and WILL get it at whatever cost possible.
And THATs the bottom line.
Technically by far among some of the best that i have witnessed, the sets, the colors used in the background from dark greens to yellows to bright reds are a part of the storyline itself. The usage of lights to accentuate sequences is just out of the world.
On the performance front, EVERYONE delivers. Be it kinda character roles by Abhimanyu Shekhar Singh (Rananjay), Deepak Dobriyal (Bhatti) or Piyush Mishra(Prithvi Singh) or the leading actors like Kay Kay Menon, Aditya Srivastava, Ayesha Mohan, Raj Singh Chaudhary.
Characterwise, Ayesha Mohan's character stands out. The layers that are shown both in terms of characterisation and portrayal is just awesome. The pain that is reflected by tears in her eyes in the last scene describe the struggle that she has grown up with every moment of her life.
I can go on and on and on.. The movie is just plain brilliant.. Period..
If you havent seen it. You have definitely missed out something.. Go grab a look before some new 'brilliant' commercial flick like Aa Dekhen Zara replaces it from the cinemas.. ;-)
