-Segment 1. Karan Johar. Begins with perfect kick to put you in the situation of character and after that pace only develops . Unhappily married couple,frustration towards life and reality,choices and their importance,sexuality and perspectives towards it,redemption and other valuable emotions were perfectly balanced with intensity,sense,power and dramatic effect.
-Not at all melodramatic (unlike Karan),perfect use of resources,good performances by Rani and Saqib and Randeep Hooda is great. -Powerful dialog /screenplay and crafty execution . -Complete surprise for the one who is aware of the kind of work Mr. Johar is into,i personally never expected this kind of approach from him. -Perfect character development and pace ,looking at the time frame the movie was suppose to exist into but looked rushing towards the approach in some parts,and i would love to see this movie if made as a full feature ,because it lacked the perfect finesse that only time would have provided . -But overall it was very good and Karan Johar would have been the last person ,i would have expected this from .
Rating - 7.6/1O.
-Segment 2.Dibaker Banerjee. Rush and high dose of emotions first part gives you this segment actually balances that and starts into a life of an eccentric unsuccessful lower middle class man (Nawazuddin in his career best performance,and i have no idea how he manage to deliver that every time) for whom the prosperity and happiness of his family matters but he have lost himself. After that particular day he was forced to introspect but because of his circle of thinking which was confined that never helped him materialistically but gave him what he was looking for ,happiness for him and his family and experience of a lifetime.
-Perfect performance by Nawaz(the sole character of the movie),when he is into the skin of his character ,you are not on your seat but with him right where he is and what he is thinking,and it is not easy to engage someone in this way. -Direction and treatment was amazing,and the screen time was perfectly utilized,artistic approach towards the introspection and character inside were great. -There is maximum of one way towards your understanding of what this is all about,so it really makes it hard for the work of Mr. Banerjee to be accessible to everyone in exact same proportion ,which is the weakest aspect commercially. -Perfect art.
Rating - 8.O/1O.
-Segment 3. Zoya Akhtar. This segment is about dreams and your responsibilities towards protecting them . It explore the themes of manhood,insecurity of people because of their bounded thinking,complexities of human relationships and behavior and of course aspirations and dreams .
-Direction is good,execution is clean but content is limited. -Had the potential to be even better .
Rating - 7.O/1O.
-Segment 4. Anurag Kashyap . The final segment of the movie is satire and thoroughly enjoyable approach to find the ,fiction of reality. The title character was desperate to get a wish done of his father,which was to make his favorite actor have a piece of MURRABBA ,but it is not as simple as it looks. Here Mr. Kashyap not only reveals the involvement of cinema into the lives of many people but also takes it to next level by making it clear about the human psychology which demands the need for drama into our lives which makes us do things beyond our routine. Not only it explores the extreme human condition of craving for something but on the other hand it does not mind completely bashing it for how useless it can be . Metaphor of cinema is used ,which lends this work its sense of motive(does not matter in a good way or bad).
-Performances are good. -It not only engage you on intellectual level but also on any level possible ,which works great for a wider audiences . - Interesting direction ,balanced screenplay,funny dialog and best situations for the characters to react into . -A must watch for fans of Anurag Kashyap.
Rating - 7.6/1O .
Overall ,if talking about the emotions, One Film To Describe Em All.
