I went to the movie with some expectations, mainly because ok Konkana Sen, and she definitely didn't disappoint. The movie though was just average. The opening shots of Benaras was ethereal and were living up to my expectations but as the movie progressed, I was forcefully taken for an emotional roller coaster where mostly I was screaming out of misery rather than fun.
The goods
Konkana Sen, she just shines throughout the movie. A very natural and consummate actress indeed. Some of the cinematography is decent.
The bads
The sudden transformation of the girls from naive benarasi girls to hip mumbai babes was amusing, to put it mildly. Subtle character transformations is what I appreciate in movies not effortless wishy-washy stuff.
Jaya Bachchan should do herself and others a service and retire. (I digress, but same goes for Amitabh, though he has some time remaining.)
The Hip-hop song in benaras towards the end, whats up with that?
What a beautiful coincidence, Abhishek B is our cool dude's brother!
Too tired to continue this review, dont think it was worth reviewing anyways. Later.
