Director: Vikramjit Singh
Star Rating: (Space intentionally left blank!)
So, remember the Gyan which every moviegoer is more or less aware of "Do not judge a movie by its trailer!". Yeah, so unfortunately I ignored this one while deciding whether to indulge with this debutante director of the tinsel town. The trailer gives an entirely different picture that with Ranbir Kapoor at the helm, this dark thriller on identity theft can be among the big leagues and that Epic song surely the icing on the cake.
When we venture into something new and exiting, when we make a new beginning, we do put too much into the first step we take in that direction. The director also has put too much ....shit into it! In fact its totally incredible that he was able to produce more shit than the entire open defecation in India. On a serious note, the plot seems unconnected, hardly any flow and very abstract overall. I mean its like a three year old attempting the Nolan's style of non-linear story telling.
Moving to specifics, the screen space has been very unevenly distributed with the Cigarettes and Whisky getting 90 per cent of the screen space and the actors fighting it out hard for the remaining portion. Totally like Interstellar, the director is able to portray time as a dimension and successfully demonstrates how it can be stopped. One minute in the multiplex while watching "Roy" is like One year in the real and more sensible world outside the hall. Epic achievement.
Now, talking of performances, Ranbir looks like a mock-up with that weird smile all the time and that freaking monotonous voice of his. Hard to understand, why he agreed for this shitting role which required no credentials. Rampal does no extraordinary either and the only thing attracting people is the female lead and her double. By double I meant "role", but I know what you thought. Ergo, nothing to take back from the performances either.
This movie cannot be rated in stars. It much more beyond that, in the opposite direction I mean. So instead of giving negative stars, perhaps we should rate it in black holes. Those dark and dreary enclosures which suck big time. They can suck away your sense and sensibility. On that scale, this movie deserves all five black holes. Groundbreaking indeed, so much so that we had to invent a new scale of rating! This has even made me thing about the prospect of getting my ticket money back by filing a petition with the Consumer Court. You may even consider watching "Messenger of God" over it, laughing it out is better than crying out loud, any given day!
Avoid, at all costs!
