It's not the most original movie but its got a nice progresiveness to it. It has good acting and not a very bollywoodesque style directing which makes it a little more interesting for me.Very tough single father trying to control his 2 sons' lives but the older one is a rebel.
This is one movie which can stop you on your tracks, and that is exactly what it did to me. I was to go out but couldn't before I could finish watching it. It is riveting, soulful and realistic. Ronit Roy showcased his acting talent to the fullest here and since then he has been getting the bad guy roles. I was moved by this movie and could relate to the teenager protagonist's desperation to break free. 7.5 is what I give...
Rohan and his friends sneak out to watch an adult movie. They get caught and are expelled from the boarding school. Rohan returns home to face his severe father. It's been 8 years since they have been face to face. Rohan is surprised to find younger half-brother Arjun from a marriage that had come and gone before he even knew about it. He is forced to work at his father's factory and study for engineering school despite only ever wanting to write. He rebels against his father's authoritarian ways.This is unlike most of Bollywood. That may have contributed to its box office miss. This is more like a film festival fare. In fact, it reminded me of The Great Santini, another movie about an over-bearing father. It is unusual and compelling although it's a bit over-extended. It needs to cut about twenty minutes. The lead kid is a moody teenager which is not the most appealing but is very fitting. This is a new sound in the symphony of world cinema.
Superb Movie. Very nice debut role of Rajat Barmecha and a very good script. There are few movies which touches the heart and brings little fear but strong feeling and this is the one of the Bollywood's best inspiring movie. Fabulous. Good to see Ram Kapoor and Rnoit Roy together in this movie.
