Alamdar ARASTU

The story and the fictitious foreign country made the movie a total waste of time. The director did not know his job. Aliya Bhat’s talent was wasted and every other character in the cast looked amateurish.

This is a very layered movie which deals with relationships on multiple levels. These relationships are between people who a suffering with a sense of self that was damaged because of external circumstances. There is also healing that results from these relationships. The subject matter is very matured and the characters are well played and balanced. The director does a good job, using a relatively new cast of actors. Iravati’s character was excellent and so was Preetam’s. Both actors deserve praise for their work.

The performance were great and realistic. Nawazuddin and Radhika Apte were so nuanced. Apte played this wronged woman who had to just subdue and crush all her feelings to excellence. The director was good at keeping the suspense. While watching the movie many things did not come together but towards the end when the pedophile angle was revealed things clicked together. Good story writing and storytelling.
