Featured review
An interesting film...but something's missing
'Dansh' is an interesting film but the plot line is very similar to 'Death and the Maiden'. I haven't read the book nor seen the film (which I've been wanting to do fora while). I would like to see how similar they are.
Set in the state of the North Indian state of Mizoram 'Dansh' briefly deals with political conflict and the aftermath. It's pretty much a thriller about a woman and her husband who keep a doctor hostage in their house. The woman accuses the doctor of brutally raping her.
Though i liked the way that the film was trying to deal with facing one's past, there was just something missing to make it more 'hard hitting'. I can't exactly point what that is though.
The background score contributes well. Verma's direction is consistent and she does not focus on any insignificant subplot. The performances are very good. Kay Kay Menon is excellent again as he owns all his scenes. Sonali Kulkarni is very good (though a very few times she seems to lack spontaneity). Aditya Srivastav is adequate.
As a film itself, Dansh isn't bad to watch.
