Bardlerx Strictly average movie
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
ganeshkarkigk This movie truly is a masterpiece. It beautifully captures India without any adulteration of conventional Bollywood masala. Great acting, great screenplay and amazing philosophical journey. It's journey of discovering yourself as if you are born today. In reality we have experienced only the tip of ice Berg and most of our life's aspect are left to assumption or passed on knowledge. The quest and enlightening journey to discover it or self never crossed our mind. That's what this movie is doing. It takes you through life's up and down. How people are always judging, laughing and even blindly following someone if that one is truly dedicated to his belief. After existing all his life finally he awakens and decides to forget everything and start from scratch believing only what he can see, experience and evaluate. A journey of discovering self and life.
CriticGirl91 This movie is brilliant in every aspect. For me, it belongs to Sanjay Mishra who portrays Bauji so effortlessly and naturally, that I barely remember such a brilliant performance by an actor in the recent past. He was excellent in Dumb Laga Ke Haisha, but in this movie, he gives the performance of a lifetime.The story is very simple, and realistic. The important part is the instant emotional connect that the audience can make with every scene. We have all gone through the sorrow, hurt, disappointments, joy and hope narrated like poetry on screen. Bauji is lovable, and every time he is hurt, you really feel for him.Seema Pahwa compliments Sanjay Mishra in every aspect. Rajat Kapoor, like always is outstanding with his performance of quiet agitation.A word for the brilliant setting as well. The portrayal of old Delhi is very natural.There is no drama here, just a depiction of real life. This movie surely deserves a nomination for the Academy Awards.
frazakhtar420 It is an excellent flick that is on my favorite list, like Sadma, Simon Brich, Hachiko, Lawrence of Arabia, Gangoobai, Iqbal, etc. Its is kind of flick I prefer to watch. It is a logical drama masterpiece of Rajat Sir, I am big fan of your film, long ago. There are very reality based scenes in film that I can only imagine, like when the younger brother moving out the transfer of luggage from roof top to the new house is amazing, the body languages of all characters in whole movie was marvelous, the Shadi scene when all sitting in pooja and the son of pujari came back and forth telling the current events in tents happened at that real time was outstanding, even pujari's son character has a real existence in our society. It took a long and intense kind of observation and create a plot on these kind of happenings is a great achievement. Finally, hats off. Also, in the end, its an excellent recommendations from IMDb to let me know what should I deserve to watch. Thanks for this wonderful art work.
Neeraj Singh When you take philosophy as a subject, it is often difficult to connect with your audience. But Rajat Kapoor has done a true justice with the film he wrote and directed. Sanjay Mishra as the main protagonist engages you till the end of the movie with one of his finest performances till date.The movie embarks on the main idea of leading a life based on one's own experience and poses a rather difficult question in front of its viewers by means various anecdotes which keeps coming in the movie at regular intervals. It is all refreshing and takes us near to ourselves.I highly recommend you to watch this movie and you will not be disappointed. I wish to see more movies like this in future.
