The duration of this film is 1
hour and 40 minutes. The 1 hour and 30 minutes of it are simply fabulous. But the
last 10 or so minutes completely destroy the great hour and half before it. Its
so sad that something so amazing be destroyed by 10 minutes of disappointment.
It’s like having a royal, absolutely perfect muti course meal be ruined by
dessert. Three strong stories which will remain in my memory forever for their
great narration and strong script. I remember Jeffrey Archer’s short stories,
especially “Twist in the Tail” after watching this film. His stories were
brilliant and had great twists at the climax. Same are these stories which build
up to a brilliant climax and the climax leaves you enthralled and joyous. For
you would never expect those endings.
A great film to watch, but just try to
walk out before Richa Chhada starts spoiling everything at the end. Every
character gives a gripping performance. Renuka Sahane outdoes herself. Masumeh
Makhija is brilliant and so are the two teens who play love birds. Pulkit Samrat looks dapper with the perfect body and great looks, but his acting is depressing. His desperation to imitate Salman Khan is pathetic and miserable. The nuances
and intricacies of a chawl neighborhood has been brought to fore intelligently.
The director has woven wonderful stories without compensating the charms of the
Mumbai chawl. One can never fathom the secrets a human being carries and the
untold incidents they have experienced. This film is about those stories buried
deep inside.
Rating – 4 / 5
