I'd heard about it being a good movie & wanted to see it too, but the fact that they put it up for release at PVR (150 bucks each), put paid to my hopes of watching it at the theatre.

Anyway, Sid & me were lucky enough to catch it just when it started around 12 on Zee cinema this Friday night. It definitely is a good movie even though the plot tends to get wound into too many complexities at times. Still, watching the story play itself out & the novel way it's been told (interspersed with numerous flashbacks which carry half the intrigue), one cannot but admire Ruchi Narain's direction in general & Chitrangda Singh's acting in particular.

I'm afraid I've been turning into a bit of a misogynist lately, but the leading names in this movie bought the thought process back on the rails somewhat. Chitrangda especially comes across as much more than the beautiful face she is .... her role is the pivot around which the film revolves & she has etched it out to perfection. This is one actress I definitely want to see more of.

A good movie which only goes on to reinforce the fact that the winds of freshness are blowing across the Hindi film industry .... with more & more people having the gumption to go ahead with novel ideas & bold subjects. More power to them!
