Love thy Confusion!
Manmarziyaan
Let’s just say Bollywood movies
are doing the resurrections quite well now, not the horror though. Manmarziyaan is a resurrection of “Hum
Dil De Chuke Sanam” to Anurag Kashyap style romance. Yes! Romance and Anurag
Kashyap in the same sentence, highly unlikely of the two to tango, but they do!
and wow us completely. I have good laughs and cheeky smiles through out the
movie. I did not enjoy a movie like Hum dil de chuke sanam and yet this one was
a joy to watch. Anurag Kashyap brings out his subtle side, which I never knew
existed from his brashness of storytelling so one is pleasantly surprised and
happy. Manmarziyaan is a genius reflection
on love and companionship, keeps the audience from picking up a side. The first
half will fly away, the second half gets a little slow specially the end.
Though a true love story should have an element of a long walking conversation
that vaporizes all the obstacles and I am not disappointed at all.
I have only praises for the
entire cast to have played every shade
of their character to near perfection. The trio of Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu,
Abhishek Bachchan make their characters shine so bright and believable. Vicky
Kaushal is showing Chameleon traits as he stands out noticeably in the movie. Unbelievable
portrayal of character completely diverse from his earlier roles. It could have
gone so wrong slipped out in many ways but he does’nt let us down at all, he is
brilliant with his craft. The striking contrast of a silent personality of an
NRI banker, Abhishek’s character is however harder to achieve and would have killed
the whole effect of the story if at all the audience felt compelled to choose
the opposite side out of boredom for his character. But that doesn’t happen and
the Bachchan charisma spell bounds.
Every scene is an unending
delight to watch. The movement of the story is flawless with good editing. Gladly
no fairy tale, It is a modern day practical story with Love, Lust, Drama,
Confusion and lots of brain mush. The music is powerful and Amit Trivedi gives
terrific songs with this one, the best bunch this year. I would say Manmarziyaan is Anurag’s dabble into
main stream romance which leaves a strong, straight powerful blow. Do not miss
out on this one.
