Well done Abba:
Based on 'Narsaiyyan Ki Bavdi' by Jeelani Bano, directed by Shyam Benegal this movie is a simple and message oriented tale based in Andhra Pradesh. Most of the cast delivers a not too bad performance, but Boman Irani disappoints (most of his expressions have already been captured in his earlier roles and it seems that as an actor he has nothing new to offer.) The first half of the movie is okayish, but the second half is chaotic. The movie is good in patches and could easily have been thirty-forty minutes shorter.
Rating: 2.5/5
Kartik calling Kartik:
Same old stuff in a new wrapper!! The life of a geeky, under-confident youth undergoes a transformation once he starts getting calls from himself. One of the reasons that the movie didn't do well is due to the unconventional and bold stand taken by the director in the second half (the actual explanation behind the calling will definitely not appeal to the masses (who are looking out for supernatural stuff (because its a movie!!))). The performances by Farhan Akhtar and Deepika are good. The movie lacks pace and has many repetitive scenes.
Rating: 2.5/5
Right Yaa Wrong:
This one was a pleasant surprise. Though the storyline is old, the movie is gripping. Irfan Khan, Sunny Deol and Konkana Sen deliver good performances.
Rating: 3/5
