Movie has various great actors but they haven't been given much screen space.
Alia on the other hand who is present in every scene didn't showcase much, contrary to the expectations. For Bollywood this is not a new subject Tabu, Kareena, Rani, Madhuri Dixit and ofcourse Vidya Balan has already set the bar so high.
Yet I'm shocked with the screen presence and acting of Ajay Devgan, Jim , Seema and Vijay. Shantanu and Kamli (name in movie ) are power packs, they are really impressive.
The end piece was a must otherwise i dont think i would have liked the movie as such. It was a very well thought wrap up.
I loved the dialogues but the atmosphere created the set design was not convincing for me. It was too crafted, it gives the feel of retro but not of chawl
I just feel if the main lead would have been Vidya Balan or Huma Qureshi or Richa Chadha, and set design of chawl would be realistic, and side characters had more screen space, the movie would be one the best movies of the year.
