Kahaani 2

I wish I had re-watched Kahaani before seeing its sequel to better understand what has shaped Durga Rani Singh into the person she is in this movie. All throughout this thriller I was left a bit irritated at the choices she is making without clearly understanding where she’s coming from. Inder, her ex-husband, also makes conflicting choices that need to be unraveled in the end in a rather anti-climatic manner.

Recently, there have been a multitude of movies on the topic of child molestation (Mom, Maatr, etc.) with this one being a less ‘obvious’ one, yet one that should not be shoved under the carpet.

Both Vidya Balan and Arjun Rampal acted like veterans do. It’s still hard to understand why Arjun Rampal didn’t get more opportunity in Bollywood. He acts and looks far better than many a superstar of the masses. (6/10)

 

Roy

A colossal waste of three extremely good looking people (out of which two can even act). Seemingly ‘intellectual’ dialogues and stylish cinematography don’t make a good movie, Vikramjit Singh. You need real substance, a story, proper execution and much more to make a good one. After half an hour of absolute nothingness going on I fell asleep and I am still wondering how ironic it is that one of Arjun Rampal’s dialogues (a filmmaker in Roy) went something like this – “Some directors make movies just for the expression of their own creativity and the four people in the audience that will understand it.” True that, Vikramjit!
