Fabulous movie by Zoya Akhtar, one wonders what their mother fed them [her and Farhan] when they were kids - I think it was a dizzying muesli of world movies :)
There are SO many characters in this movie and yet Zoya has been able to sensibly detail every one of them. Though it was very easy to turn a movie like this into a complete caricature of the film industry she has dealt with it with great sensitivity. It is not a spoof, please remember.
Farhan has acted far better than his attempt in Rock On. He is now going to give all young Hindi cinema actors a run for their money. First the directors had to compete with him, then singers...now actors - not fair at all.
As expected the movie has amazing cinematography, music, art direction and overall aesthetics. The circus song was painted with all colors and was yet music for the eyes.
Konkana acts like nobody's business and carries a "not always a winner" role fabulously on her very talented shoulders.
The ending is very profound and off beat.
All characters are fleshed out realistically displaying the black, white and grey within us.
Zoya has also indirectly paid tribute to the bounty that is available as locales for movies within India...a thumbs up for that too! :)
