I saw this movie after a lot of friends turned down the opportunity of watching it with me. They basically said that it was a too slow, artsy-fartsy kinda movie. I on the other hand needed to kill time before Arsenal played Juve, so decided to head to Inox (Nice local theatre here). The movie features Naseerudin Shah, Dimple Kapadia (This woman is looks like she is 35), Boman Irani , Saif Ali Khan, and this really beautiful actress (who is the lady who plays Saif’s sister in the movie?)

In all, there were about 10 people in the theatre, and 4 of those dicks decided to sit ahead/behind me and talk on their mobile phones for the first 5 mintes of the movie.

So I decided to make disconcerted faces and move some rows away (The funda of buying tickets for late night movies here is that you buy any damn ticket and sit any damn where you want caus no one checks ;))

So the movie began, and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of Saif’s voice. For those of you who don’t already know, this movie is Parsi centric, and does not feature too many people other than Parsis (except for a Punjabi police inspector).

It’s slow moving, well shot movie but I was left a little shortchanged by the story. I also thought there would have been more humor, and that they would have explored the legendary Parsi eccentricity in more depth.

I’m not gonna be a numbtwit and reveal the ending, but I’m going to tell you that it IS a suspense movie (that did not strike me till the end). All in all refreshingly different, but definitely not worth a second watch (which movies can you watch twice over these days?)
