What a brilliant movie. Raw , long and confused, exactly a representation of life. Because that is what life is like, it isn’t a series of perfect clear moments, it flows backward and forward and never quite comes together, but you do the best you can. This structure is so beautifully showed. It doesn’t break down the story into easy bite size pieces, it gives it to you real and complex. And then you can go home and look at your own real and complex situation and see the similarities. And see the potential solutions, not the fairy tale perfect magical film solutions,but real life solutions
Our lead is so very very young and inexperienced with the world, he just accepts things as they are because it is what he has always known. It takes a long time for him to wake up and see them as they really are. The camera acts as his eyes, catching the little details that, eventually, he will put together and understand the reality. In my case, I was so badly rooting for him. But at the same time, I appreciated the realism that he would see these things at his own pace..
Ram Kapoor's character is the most complex and hardest to understand. I’m even not sure I understand him fully by the end of the film. But I think Ram Kapoor does, if that makes sense. His performance isn’t coming from just following the script and making it up as he goes along, he sat down and figured out this character.. I liked him the most..
Rajat Barmecha also did a good job.
Ronit Roy was absolutely brilliant..he was soo dark, but the last letter so perfectly summaries him.."he has never understood, received or given love"..
A very complex, layered are scaringly close to real life analysis of relationships of not just father-son,but older brother - younger brother.., friend .
Vikramaditya Motwani..just stuck to his story and guts & made the film he had set out to make.He found his voice ,there was truth and bravery...he did not give an easy movie to the audience, he gave us bad people,bad things, about the evil that lives in our house,may be next door..but yet there is so much hope...
It’s such a beautiful movie. You are right, it is uplifting even in the sad parts because it shows us the moments of hope and beauty and humanity even in the worst time...It’s about the debt we owe to each other, and the greatest joy that comes from reaching out and helping others, ..
It ends perfectly..on the triumphal note of Rohan and his brother walking away as a song sings of freedom and we here the last words Rohan wrote to his father, not words of anger or recrimination, but of love. .. masterpiece...
