Movie Review - Kahaani (Hindi) - The perfect STORY!!

'S' for STUPENDOUS

Sujoy Ghosh, the director, made an intellectually stimulating film. This dark thriller doesn't grow heavy on you, but will definitely remain with you for a long time. He finally found his groove and his muse in Kolkata. The superbly crafted narration makes it an edge of the seat flick. No wonder, he may be the next Satyajit Ray, if he remains consistent in his art of storytelling.

'T' for TWISTED

It's so convoluted that you feel the knots in your stomach. Don't try to find logic in everything, it can lead to insanity. My advice is to leave all your work and go watch the movie before you get to know the plot!! Lot of spoilers around, grrrr.

'O' for OMG moments

They made every one aghast and cupping their open mouths out of supreme shock. Mystic nature of Kolkata lanes are actually the reason behind the terrifying suspense.The moment of glory when spirituality makes way for a clear conscience as Amitabh Bachchan sings Rabindranath Tagore's "Ekla Cholo Re" in Bengali and Hindi - a stroke of genius.

'R' for RIVETING

One can barely breathe with each new layer of suspense getting peeled off. Such a tight script, you will forget there could even be flaws. There is no song and dance but the background score compliments the story very well. Suspense builds up every time and the brilliant use of old songs in the background increases the nostalgia.

'Y' for YESTERDAY

The last day that everyone said "All Vidya Balan could do was show us a Dirty Picture." Today the tables turned and there is a new hero (in the form of a heroine) in Bollywood who does not need a male lead to attract crowds. She is Vidya Balan and she delivers yet another National award winning performance.
