A One Night Stand (2009)

Raat Gayi Baat Gayi? Means is meaning gone if night is gone? Not really, if you are a married man, you were with a bombshell in a cocktail party last night and can't remember a thing in the morning. So you gotta wake- up and find what happened last night? This movie is a mini satire on high class society, their two faces; one for public and one for personal life. Directed by Saurabh Shukla and played by few good known names like Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak and Dilip Tahil, the movie never looses you in its less than two hours length. At the end, bad characters come good and good as bad ones and you understand that everything is not what it seems, every chatter box is not a fool, every intellectual person is not honest, independence does not mean not listening to your mind and anything can happen to anyone in this funny life. Enjoy this small satire for its honest characterization and lovely messages to keep your love intact.

So, I love the cast & they perform well. Saurabh Shukla has tested his hands in directing & I feel he has achieved what he yearned with a fine adult comedy which sometimes, gasps for fresh breath.The plot revolves around two 3 families & how a party they spend the other night together in, turns out to play havoc in their lives. Rajat Kapoor is suave as always as the husband who has experiences a short- span memory lapse. It advances as he goes on to find out what happened that night to finally end up in a comedic situation with his friends. Certain surprise elements barge in to give a humorous effect. Lots of vulgar references which did lack punch but give you a light-hearted time.Mostly, it talks about adultery & how one should see it/handle it.BOTTOM LINE: Overall, a fine drama which does stick to the emotional side towards the end. Recommended for a one-time watch due to the wits, slapstick & real-life relations.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?

I had somewhat mediocre expectations from the film. But I was utterly disappointed as to my expectations from this film was particularly high after the lot like Mithya and Dasvidania both by Vinay Pathak.Much of its storyline line has a very strong resemblance with the hangover. Though if u r a regular movie goer,u can enjoy this one as an adaptation of Hollywood's flicks!This is a well directed and superbly acted movie which will mostly appeal to the thinking viewers who love the realistic, offbeat and artistic kind of cinema. Go for it if you are a fan of this particular genre.

Rajat Kapoor camp has given us some memorable offbeat flicks in the past (remember mithya and mixed double!!). So I had pretty high expectations from RGBG which I feel sorry to say did not meet them fully. The movie is not too disappointing, it has its funny moments and a good ending; but it seriously lacks in the script and screenplay. Though the end is surprising, the first half does not generate much curiosity about "What the hell really happened last night between Rahul and Sophiya?". A few more twists in the tail and a tighter screenplay could have done the job.The movie scores well in most of the other aspects. The actors are at their best, especially Vinay Pathak, Navneet Nishan and Ranvir Shourey (he creates magic even with such few scenes). Neha was amazing as a 'totta' and I am glad she is emerging as a fine actor with movies like Dasvidaniya, Ek Chaalis, Maharathi and RGBG. Iravati is a refreshing entry in Rajat's camp and I hope she stays. The background music is good, could have been better.Overall, it is a nice watch for multiplex crowd, but not the kind of stuff you expect form the ensemble.
