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".
I am afraid Anil shall win this argument.
Its seems am writing more movie reviews than most professional critics :D
But can't help it guys!
A few "Dildaar" friends have written loads of movies for me and other few always share their movies on pen drive.
Must say this is very beneficial - get to save money and watch world class cinema at home with Mom !
Ek teer se do nishaan ! :)
Anyway, watched "A Wednesday" today.
That the movie has stalwarts like Kher and Shah raised expectations sky high. Yet, nothing to worry about...the movie hits the jackpot for sure!
"A Wednesday" is a well crafted and a fast paced thriller !
From the word go - the viewer is entangled in the Chakravyu created on screen.
The movie is an addition to the "sleek and minimalist" bandwagon that has hit Bollywood recently.
Low budget, tight narration and commendable performances - this pot boiler packs in all and a LOT MORE !
The Climax is sure to raise lots of eyebrows and quite a few sighs !
An intelligent movie after quite some time ! I loved it so much that am ready to Forgive Kher for doing a "C Kkompany" !!
Anyway, I wouldn't want to spoil the fun for you - hence - go and watch it for yourself !
As IndiaUnbound would say - "Watch A Wednesday, Anyday !" :)
