Had a peek at Maharathi last night...


I call it a peek because I wasn't really watching the movie...went along with a friend who I had met after months and so there was lots of catching up to do...

So between our chatter, what I could make out of the movie was -


A shoddy attempt at making a thriller... outlining lives of an old producer, his pretty but greedy wife, their servant and a bunch of other couldn't care less for characters...

An amazing star cast, all keen on bringing to life - oddly sketched characters...


I was told that Maharathi had been adapted from a play and hence looked forward to the experience. However, the movie moved at a snail's pace with no clear end in sight...

One moment there is a murder investigation at hand and then suddenly there is "The End" !

My friend and I were surprised at such an abrupt end...he, more than I, since he felt cheated on paying for such a "Bakwaas" caper :D


What I loved though was Paresh Rawal's act...he had the best punch lines and seemed to the be the only saving grace of this "childish" thriller.


Naseer, Om Puri & Boman Irani have all been wasted in the movie and probably should avoid such capers in future.


Nothing to say about Neha & Tara, though my friend found them to be perfect eye-candies and "Hot"

Is that Tara Deshpande? Man she is not only "hot" but can cook too. A great combo for a woman....
LOL

You are right the movie has been adapted from a play by Paresh Rawal himself. Maybe that's why he was the best of the lot.
And I do agree with your friend, Neha is 'hot'.
Bye
