Kahaani directed by Sujoy Ghosh is one of the most finest,efficient thrillers I have witnessed in recent times. Reviewed by GaneshKSalian N/A Vidya Balan rocks in Kahaani! P.S: Please do not discuss the story with anyone else, unless they have watched this film. Kudos to the whole team! Trust me! Ami Sotthi Bolcchi! I give this a 10/10 not just because this is one of the best thrillers ever made in India, but definitely one of the best films to have ever come out of Bollywood. Watch this film to experience something so satiating, you would surely ask for more (a rare for a thriller!).
Be it Amitabh Bacchan's rendition of Tagore's 'Ekla Chalo Re', the background songs (mostly of RD Burman), playing innocently as the characters travel the length and breadth of the city, the costumes by Sabyasachi, the 'just right and yet dramatic' background score, the non-condescending cinematography that captures the city as if it were a character, and the supreme screenplay with a spattering of real Bengali, act as just the right spices to turn this into a delicious dish, that's both exotic as well as commonplace. In addition to the sterling performances and the plot is the terrific technical support. Using real people, places, and situations to underline the nuances of the story is a task that's handled brilliantly by director Sujoy Ghosh (also the co writer) whose recent claim to shame - an abysmal Aladdin, or a horrendous Home Delivery shall soon be forgotten just as Madhur Bhandarkar's debut dud was. The film unfolds like the pages of a gripping novel by Agatha Christie or Sherlock Holmes and is shot like that of an Alfred Hitchcock or a Satyajit Ray. The supporting cast comprises a helpful cop Parambrata, a selfish detective - Siddiqui, an eccentric life insurance agent - Saswata, and a bhadralok Police officer - Khwaraj, and last but not the least, of a 300+ year old city - Kolkata seeped in the throes of celebrating the mother of all festivals - Durga Puja. Kahaani is essentially the story of a heavily pregnant London based Tamil woman's search for her missing Bengali husband in Kolkata, underplayed exuberantly by Vidya Balan. For Kahaani is a ride so thrilling, your mind would be tripping with a million possibilities, even as your tongue invariably ends up either tied, or hanging in the air with anticipation.
You would honestly not have the time to crunch it as you watch this fantastic film with bated breath. Leave your bag of popcorn outside the theater. Reviewed by ayanpal1 10 /10 A rare combination of performance, script, direction, and aesthetics that will leave you stunned
