The Film Emotional Atyachar - Notepad
The Film Emotional Atyachar
quick review:
Emotional Atyachar is a quirky, dark, humorous, non-linear, connect-the-dots, pulp-type fiction. With performers like Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Abhimanyu Singh, Ravi Kissen, it's short, but not-so-sweet fun.
This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
Plot Summary
It's a circular story which runs through a businessman who is dumped by a potential investor who wants to invest in a casino instead the owner of which owes a local don money who has hired two corrupt policemen to extort the money one of whom likes the casino-owner's girlfriend who is trying her best to dupe everyone around for the money which is actually robbed by a wannabe goon and two of his dysfunctional assistants whose van is spotted by the businessman. And there is a bag full of money in the middle of all this.
What Worked
- E.T.'s picture at the back of the car. Added to the intentional spooky feel brilliantly!
- Goti's last expression.
What did not
Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This
is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the
full review here
- What kind of a smallish project was Vikram Jaiswal trying to get funds for? The small bag of money all these people were running after couldn't have held more than 500 wads of 100, 1000 Rupee notes. Maximum 5 crores? Mind you, Vikram is introduced to us as a businessman whose name has brand worth.
- An intelligent businessman opens a bag in an abandoned vehicle on a lonely highway in pitch darkness?
- The narrator's identity isn't shown at all, it's kind of disconcerting. Also, his voice comes and goes pretty much randomly.
- The Gujrati guy loses his accent and stereotyped style of talking as the film progresses.
- Vikram Jaiswal's irritation with Sophie as if she's been annoying him for a few hours now.
- Where did Vikram get the gun from? And why did he not use it earlier?

Enjoyed the film. Used to 'inexplicable' stuff in Hindi movies.. I mean after all we have grown on one hero killing 10 hoods with 10 bullets and a 100 goons firing thousands of rounds don't even scratch him...
Held well together I thought.. and very dark.. reminded me of Johnny Gaddar.. Of course that one did not have a 'sweet' ending and it added tremendous value to the movie..
Interesting how nowadays the age old Hindi film maxim of 'crime does not pay' is not applicable nowadays.. changing times i guess.. tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis
@Makarand oh wow...that's a surprise. I wouldn't have thought that you'll like the film. I'd recommend Ek Chalis Ki Last Local and Manorama Six Feet under if you haven't seen them yet.
@meetu of course i have seen Ek Chalis and Manorama. Have seen ALL Abhay deol except Aisha.. your review on that not too hot so avoiding!
@Makarand it's girly and pink, so i'd say good call.
