Kahaani

GENRE: Drama/Thriller
Director: Sujoy Ghosh
Cast: Vidya Balan (Vidya Bagchi), Parambrata Chatterjee (Inspector Satyaki Sinha), Saswata Chatterjee (Bob Biswas), Nawazuddin Siddiqui (Mr. Khan)


The movie excels in almost all the departments. It keeps one engaged thoroughly (especially through the first half).

The Direction is good and all the details have been taken care simultaneously maintaining the flow of the story. Director has been smart to use the Kolkata’s Bengali setup to his advantage in setting up the atmosphere.

The Screenplay is also nice with really amazing background scores which add to the whole tension and confusion. Only slight lag could be observed in the pace of the script as the movie gets a bit of a drag after the interval (but only for some time… by the end it catches real pace…). At some points one can actually predict that what’s coming next but still my advice… WAIT TILL THE END…

All HATS OFF to Vidya Balan’s acting. After a long time I can say that Bollywood has found an actress who can carry a film through pure talent without meaningless dance moves and zero figures. Very brilliant performance and seriously worth looking forward to.

At the end I will definitely give this movie a --- 3.5/5.

Loved the ending (actually the last ten minutes make the movie…), Loved the song—“Ekla Chalo Re” and the character of Mr. Bob…. :D
