Bollywood seems to be in pretty good form. They are being novel and creative in crafting stories and are finding decent enough evolved ways to tell their very own old love-stories.
And most importantly, they are finally feeling the pulse of the audiences rather than taking them for granted.
MANMARZIYAAN then, bollywood’s latest offering is your usual love triangle bolstered with Anurag Kashyap’s craft and strengthened by Amit Trivedi’s magic.
MANMARZIYAAN borrows from a handful of earlier Bollywood flicks, draws-out predictable characters and throws-in the same old predicaments too but treats it deftly and handsomely.
The first half is absolutely fantastic. Kashyap flaunts his talent and skill and projects the notion of his ‘fyaar’ with aplomb. The writing is crisp, earthy and complements the mood of the film. The music feels another character in the film. In short, the music coupled with the writing and direction escalates the proceedings on screen.
The second half is where Mr. Kashyap falters. He gets carried away and becomes indulgent and repetitive. The scenes drag and dip with only glimpses of his genius throwing-up in between.
Yet in the end, you feel good about your time at the theatre.
Give it a watch.
