Strangers - Notepad

Strangers

Jimmy Sheirgill, Kay Kay Menon, Nandana Sen, Sonali Kulkarni Dir: Aanand L Rai
wogma rating: The keen should rent; else TV (?)
quick review: Strangers has a smart plot and is played out very well by the lead actors. However the classy story-telling format takes away from the nitty-gritty of the characters and their motivations.

Plot Summary

Rahul Bedi (Jimmy Shergill) meets Sanjeev Rai (Kay Kay Menon) on a train and wants to spend his journey in getting to know his fellow-passenger. What their conversation is all about is for you to find out.

What Worked

  • Use of black and white snapshot to show transitions from one time to another
  • The comment, "that's what happens to great plays". Sounded like the director is convincing himself that his movie is great in anticipation of a low show to his movie.

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

  • The fast-paced editing in the climax. The contrast with the rest of the movie gives the climax a very jerky feel.

Nitty-Gritty

This section lists things that I think are not important to the overall impact of the movie. In most cases, it could be explained away by something like, "we noticed the glitch after the scene was shot and there were schedule/budget issues and thus we could not re-shoot it". I like giving the makers the benefit of doubt, but I am amused nevertheless. Hopefully, they will tickle you too.

  • The mention tequila bottle and what is shown on screen is a wine/champagne bottle. And of course they looked too sober for a couple who have downed a bottle of tequila.
