Pluses: Kalki Koechin gives best performance of her career, Revathy is outstanding, Sayani Gupta is spell-bounding, neat direction, great camerawork Minuses:
single dimensional screenplay, writing lacks punch and range
Critic Rating: 3.5/5
Business Rating: 1/5
Verdict:
Watch it for some exceptional performances
Detailed Analysis:
Kalki Koechin is one of the finest performers, be it her portrayal in 'Dev D' or in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, she is quite a revelation as new face of Indie cinema. Now she delivers another niche film with big heart.
Performance wise Kalki Koechin is too good and shines in lead role. This might be her best act till date and will win her many awards. Revathy is always good and understated. Sayani Gupta is outstanding and other supporting cast is good too. Film has interesting premise but screenplay dips big time in after initial half an hour plus it remains single dimensional as it keeps exploring sexual issues. Film becomes predictable and finds very cliche uninteresting situations. Film has interesting background score. Art department is good and editing is top notch.
Director Shonali Bose succeeds in bringing out the pain, angst and contradictions in the life of a cerebral palsy patient. He delivers a confident film though a better screenplay would had made huge difference. Film will release tomorrow and should release across 300 screens. Film had no chances at box office as its a film with very niche appeal. Film will depend on exceptional word of mouth to survive as it has no great buzz or marketing awareness.
Go for this one for powerful acts and impressive story!
