ShangLuda Admirable film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

S Shaikh I remember many years ago someone told me about this movie. That it was very simple and the one to watch. So I began watching it and didn't really connect to it and switched it off. However, recently I heard one of the songs again and thought let me see the reviews on here and immediately went off to re watch it. Words can't describe how amazing this movie is and I don't regret not having watched it earlier. When I first watched it I had hardly encountered any struggles in my life. I was subjected to the typical bs masala movies. After these few years it's only now that I have understood life and love. My weak mind wouldn't have understood Anwar's pain and love back then. I loved all the actors - tremendous job! Totally unbiased and it should be classed as one of the finest Indian movies ever.

update_panel The best way to describe this movie is to say that its about a bunch of broken love stories with a socially conscious angle. The social tone of the movie is pretty obvious since the previous work of the director has been on social issues facing contemporary India. The mood of the movie is very haunting and a chunk of the story is revealed in flashbacks. I think the lead actor was perfect for the role as the dreamy eyed idealistic Anwar. I don't watch a lot of Indian movies nor do i leave reviews/comments for the ones that i watch on IMDb but this movie is really different than a majority of the movies turned out by bollywood. If you want to see a serious bollywood movie then this is the choice but if you want to something along the lines of a song and dance routine traditional formula movie which doesn't require you to pay much attention or reflect upon the characters and the plot then go watch something else.

R SN I rejoiced for Manish Jha's bravado and intelligent approach to movie making and stepping away from Bollywood style tripe. Vijay Raaz's acting as the eternally sad Master Pasha was incredible-kudos-I admire your work and its authenticity and glad you haven't sold out to Bollywood. The scenes and allegories were beautifully and tastefully shot, the imagery unforgettable. Great camera work and I love the minimalist yet to the point approach- good editing. I was a little lost on Gopinath's role and confused by his end (I've always been a fan of Rajpal Yadav's acting) . Siddharth Koirala was very expressive, beautiful eyes (looks like the great malayalee actor mohanlal)he could be more emotive but performed rather well in his over obsessed with Mehru role. Thank you to all the cast and Manish Jha for producing such a profoundly intense story on the screen. I'm happy to see such intelligent work and gives me hope that not all Indian actors and directors are slaves to the Bollywood industry tripe that flows out in copious amounts. The music was incredible especially the theme song or at least Moula mere-Thank you! and congratulations on this nearly impeccable work.
