it seems the movie has something to state(social messages) as you have wrote the review above.i will check it of course ,i just want to watch tushar speaking.
I agree with you over the point about the way this genre of films is shaping up in India. Maybe its my love for this genre that makes me like this film a lot. I personally think, it is much much wittier and much much better than the other films in this genre released in last year or so (Emotional atyachar, yeh saali zindagi). I was worried about the shaping up of the genre after watching those films. This one made me feel upbeat.
(Yeah, even I got the been there done that feeling. Love Camera Smoke syndrome maybe)
@guddu let us know what you think.
@noopur ha ha. we all have our own biases. :P cheers to "to each his own" i say!
I am wondering why you did not rate the music / soundtrack of the film. I found it to be amazing and one of the strong points of the film. For me, it was the soundtrack along with all the things that you noted (characters, acting) that made it memorable to watch in a theatre. Even at home, I keep hearing the music again and again, along with Yeh Saali Zindagi's. Saaibo is an excellent composition! The movie also reminded me of Babel.
