Synopsis: Two thieves "Babban"(Arshad Warsi) and "Khalujaan/Ifteqhaar"(Naseeruddin Shah) are on the run from a bigger crook Mushtaq(Salman Shahid), to hide from him they end up at Vidya Balan's house expecting Mr. Varma who died in a gas explosion(shown in the beginning) and thus to survive all 3 stick together and troubles that follow with the 2 thieves falling in love with the widow forms an interesting, rather enchanting story, worthy enough to be listened.
Director Abhishek Chaubey's Execution in one word to describe would be "perfect" he handles a film with so many complicated scenes in a manner that it is hard to find even a single scene you cannot enjoy and most importantly he is a brilliant narrator(just note the accent and body language of each and every character who comes across the screen, even in the very beginning just look at the way the two crooks dance wearing a boxers and cowboy styled boots) Bravo director......
The Screenplay(Vishal Bhardwaj, Sabrina Dhawan, Abhishek Chaubey) full of ups and downs and believe me, you won't be able to judge what comes next, at the interval point whatever you might be expecting, or predicting about the plot, will not come out for sure.
Dialogues(Vishal Bhardwaj) are colloquial, funny, striking and outstanding, they are an important part of the proceedings and I personally feel, dialogues hold equal importance as the people who perform on screen
Performances even child artist in the film makes his presence felt, the main players are mind blowing, Arshad is a pleasure, Naseer has now reached a level that we fans are just too small enough to comment on his performance, Vidya Balan is astonishing(note her sadness and her eyes, with the tone, throughout the film).
Music(Music for songs:Vishal Bhardwaj & Lyrics Gulzar) most of the times is played in background and increase the beauty of the narrative, so does the licensed tracks from the other films which altogether even further smoothen the narrative & Background Score(Hitesh Sonik) add to the intensity of the proceedings.
As far as Technical aspects are concerned Cinematography(Mohana Krishna) is outstanding, He chooses appropriate colours with appropriate light and scenario to suit the proceedings. Sound in the film was little unclear due to synchronized recording a few dialogues are missed yet it was very important in such a film where body language had to be in synchronization with oral.
As for the Flaws this film uses strong language but this is a bit necessary for such a kind of a film, but the problem this holds is you cannot watch it with your girlfriend it has to be your Gang of boys to absolutely enjoy it(the way I did, I am glad I am single and I watched it with 2 other junk-headed friends of mine), also the climax of the film is a little unclear and we had to discuss why did Mushtaq did not do it to reach to a conclusion(and it came out to be a husband wife mess-up)(watch this film to know what I am talking about)(you know Indian head needs a simplified outcome).
Ultimately I would like to sign off and I would like to say that, just watch this film, watch this in cinemas please do not mess it up with low cost or free prints, this one is a made for cinema hall kind of a film, and certainly my pick this weekend, I wish a congratulations and thanks to the director Abhishek Chaubey and Producers Raman Maroo and Vishal Bardwaj for making this film.
Go watch this film, It is Highly recommended...
My Rating:★★★★(Great/Thoroughly entertaining/fun to watch)
