Cast:
Anjana Sukhani, Dimple Kapadia, Nana Patekar, Rehan Khan, Sunil Shetty, Vidya Malvade
Director:
Director Kabir Sadanand picks up a simple story and tells it well. And as he does, he touches upon the new trend of the common-man-as-crusader which seems to have taken India by storm currently.
Why do decent story, sweet characters played by wonderful performers have to so often be marred by a crappy climax? Why-o-why-o-why?
Watch it, especially for veterans like Nana and Dimple, whose stellar act proves that old is gold, indeed!
Just for the pleasure of watching Nana Patekar and Dimple Kapadia together, this quaint and sincere look at love across three generations is well worth a 'dekko'.
You’re glad you saw it for Dimple Kapadia and Nana Patekar. As it happens, the rest of the film doesn’t live up to their participation in the project.
Nana Patekar and Dimple Kapadia have created magical moments in the film with their superb acting and chemistry.
Director Kabir Sadanand churns out a likeable plot that is sure to tug at the hearts of those from 18 to 80.
...is not as sharp in its sensitivities on love as could have been.
...the film tries too hard to give importance to all the characters. And hence fails to bring out the main story effectively. What starts out as a promising film, progresses with a sprinkling of embarrassing 'filmi' lines.
...starts as a simple story but for the first half hangs aimlessly like people whiling away in a coffee shop. The second half is too slow and too many songs only slacken the pace.
...the attempt here was a bitter-sweet love letter to Mumbai and its people but the film is fatally undone by the clumsy writing. The screenplay is static and the dialogue, superbly low IQ.
It's not just the basic premise that is flawed. There has been a zero attempt towards authenticating the script.
Almost watchable; but not quite there.
Instead of focusing on one central story, he creates too many characters and subplots to last two seasons of a daily soap!
...a crisscross of lives converging on a depressingly drawn-out courtroom proceeding.
There’re so many characters, with their own lengthy back-stories; your head spins.
This film is intended as a warm drama about love in a big city, but the script never quite gets around to achieving that.
Simply put, the movie is lame. It’s like a bad cup of coffee served to you at a coffee shop. One you choke on with every sip.
