Via Darjeeling
NOT A REVIEW - Just excited about seeing this assembly of talent on screen together.
Kay Kay Menon, Vinay Pathak, and Rajat Kapoor! Just these names make me want to watch the movie right now! Add to the medley Sandhya Mridul and Sonali Kulkarni. I know, these women don’t necessarily have only good projects associated with their names, but nevertheless, we know they can act well if given a chance.
If that were not enough, the promos look interesting and the passion with which it was made is promising. In the director, Arindam Nandy's words from his post on Passion For Cinema
And the process began…of writing and re-writing…all on holidays and after my Calcutta advertising agency office hours late in the night. It seemed like a malaise that was haunting me every moment.
I am sure, all movies, good, bad or evil go through this process and all directors have a deep passion towards their product. But, not all engage the audience. This one looks like it has its ingredients right. Whether it tastes good too, we'll know soon enough. Right now, my motto is -
"clean slate, clean slate, clean slate....neutral expecataions, neutral expectations, neutral expectaions"

yep, the movie looks promising, and assessing single incident with different point of views is quite a cool theme.(and simultaneously reverse folding every individual's psychological character, remember "12 angry men") It would be interesting to see something like that in this movie.
hmmm..."assessing single incident with different point of views"...is that what this one is about? I love such movies. Haven't seen "suraj ka saatva ghoda" yet! :(
Via Darjeeling - Review...
The broad concept is truly intriguing but the basic story is like a balloon losing air...*phuuussss*
Idea gets lost in translation from script to screen.
Yet we need to give extra credit for going with a concept rarely tried....
well, won't keep much expectations now, ll catch it tomorrow.
// I am just kicked by how the audience is taken for a ride //
Somehow that line makes me look forward to the film. I saw the rediff review also and it made me feel there's genuinely something hatke..let's see, may catch it.
And speaking of taking audience for a ride u must watch a Spanish movie called 'Incautos' (Swindled). That movie really takes the audience for a ride and the audience loves it as well !
That would be a good idea, Mayur.
That was the intention, Sudhir. The only thing I liked about the movie is how the audience was totally frustrated in the end. Good or bad, it at least had a non-numbing effect on the brain.
Both of you, do let us know what you thought of the movie.
well, well, well, keeping less expectations didn't help. What were the creators thinking while making this film, it was like "oh I got one concept, lets make a movie on that", screenplay is loose, characterization is weak, fine art of story telling is completely missing. And what is with all those defensive conversations like "yeha pe koi psychoanalyst hona chahiye tha." and concluding speech by Vinay Pathak's character. Good opportunity wasted, big disappointment.
hey man, the char maker does no seem to understand movies... he is a cheap movie reporter..i think he shud understand movies before jumping into such conclusion..the way he has rated the movies will misguide people. he mus be changed.
"YEP THIS KIND OF MOVIES I LOVE AND VIA DARJEELING IS A VERY GOOD FILM AND THE SCRIPT WRITER HAS WRITTEN A FANTASTIC SCRIPT AND THE ACTORS HAVE DONE A FABUOLOUS WORK ESPECIALLY KAY KAY MENON
