Soorjit Sircar belts out yet another classic after Vicky Donor, October, Pink and Piku . On the periphery, Gulabo Sitabo (on line release on Amazon prime) may disappoint you. However, as the story develops, so does your curiosity. It is a story of intrigue, complexity of human nature and greed that is not age sensitive .Top it up with some humour and satire in form of lucid ,crisp dialogues and comic timing and you have the recipe of a fine film. Set in a hundred plus years old dilapidated haveli of old Lucknow ,the narrative grows on you with the proceedings till it reaches a crescendo and a surprise ending. With AB's monumental and subtle performance well supported by rest of the cast, the film is a visual delight for thinking cine goers. Enchanting!
