It's a poorly directed film. Very cliche. Amitabh Bachchan is intolerable. He is the biggest misfit in the character of Mirza. Extremely poor make up, looking like a clown. And his tendency of overacting kiils the character. In comparison, lesser known actors have done a far better job. Shukla ji and the lawyer to be precise.
There is nothing in the story, and very stereotype events are collated.
Soojit Sarkar should know that shooting in a dilapidated old haveli won't make him Mrinal Sen or Satyajit Ray.
Overall a very boring movie particularly because of Bacchan. Naseeruddin Shah or Nawazuddin Siddiqui would have done a far better justice to the role of Mirza.
