Rating: 3.25/5 stars
Value for money: Rs.100 value for a Rs.50 ticket! Double paisa vasool.
One word review: Entertaining
Prediction: Will be a hit. May also become a cult film, with cult dialogs.
This film truly surprised me. I was expecting one of the same old forumula gangster cum romance film; but, surprise, it takes pot shots at life! It is definitely one of the most entertaining films of the year. Gopi Puthran the story/screenplay/dailogue writer is truly a great find and we will certainly hear more about him.
In the acting department, the entire cast surprises you by giving very competent performances. I really loved the Bhai, KK Menon makes a good guest appearance. Both Deepika and Neil surprised me with their performance! All the other goofily named characters were also good.
The story is extremely well written and the film is well directed. The dialogs are memorable and strong! Mumbaiya and tapori language rules! This film reminds you of the good old day films where story and entertainment was paramount. Basically, that formula has been worked out for today's audience.
BTW, the morning 10 am show (Rs.50 ticket) was nearly HOUSEFULL! (the next audi had ONLY 8 people watching Peepli Live! Compare this with 300 people watching Lafengey Parindey!)
The songs and music are quite good. The photography too is quite good.
What is outstanding is the skating choreography (Sandro Guerro)! Deepika and Neil really shine in the skating scenes!
The end is a little bit abrupt and predictable!
Will I watch it again? Yes, of course. There is a bit of violence and gangsterism is the backdrop, but this film is about life and love. Definitely worth a watch, if not more. Go for it! Finally, a truly entertaining film.
