Dekh Tamasha Dekh
Critic reviews and ratings
-
This is a film that should be compulsory viewing in social science classes across the country.
-
...a well-nuanced film which is frighteningly disturbing and intelligently engaging at all levels; be it at the stark portrayal of political situations, comedy or tragic relationships.
-
A rare film that treats its audience as intelligent enough to understand the nuances of the subject that it deals with.
-
...a combination of farcical, funny and depressing. How many movies can you say that for?
-
The film is a searing satire, where fantasy and humour mingle with stark reality.
-
...political satire is a scarce commodity in Hindi cinema. Khan makes one without alienating any kind of audience. Far from being preachy; its politics is utterly engaging.
-
...is 'grave' alright, but offers hilarity in decent doses.
-
The power of this bizarre premise lies in its' unyielding narrative style— peppered with a bunch of motley characters that add little by way of pace, but offer great scope for priceless set pieces.
-
...is fashioned as a satire, and at its best, it does what all satires must : it stings.
-
...the director, Feroz Abbas Khan, positions the film at the border of surrealism and absurdity – and this tone, gently satiric, makes all the difference.
-
Neither a biting enough political satire, nor a moving drama— Dekh Tamasha Dekh hangs precariously in-between. You understand the intention, you even connect with a few scenes, but overall the film is dismal.
