Hotel Salvation

I was trying to watch this film aince time. Finally got chance to watch it. Experience was totally great during whole movie. Became fan of geetanjali kulkarni work from Gullak TVF series and when i saw that she is also part of the movie then desire to watch this movie became strong and who is not a fan of Adil Hussain , everyone likes his work. Every cast member in this movie has worked fantastically.

The direction of the movie is fantastic, became fan of subhashish bhutiani. The bsaic details which captured inside mukti bhavan and the varanasi captured by Subhashish is truly fantastic. I smiled, i cried this movies leaves really deep on you.

An amazing movie. So simple, yet so complex. It contrast life with death. There's reconciliation of relationships and coming to terms with the finality of life which is the jubilation of death. Brilliant. It speaks volumes without preaching or philosophizing. Kudos to the team. Wonderful acting. We need more of this from Bollywood.

Mukti Bhawan is a tale of spiritual realisations of a family which is not a fresh subject in Indian cinema although the script along with the cast delivers an impactful one and half hours.

The young director Shubhashish Bhutiani (26) takes on the hard topic of death with this movie and the conflict that arises once the dilemma between a death in dignity and the everyday life arises.

An old man feels like his time has come and wants to depart from life in a way, that suits him. This of course causes quite a fuss within the family and the lack of understanding of a few other people is unsettling but understanding as well. Palomi Ghosh who plays the daughter is just stunning! You will probably see more of her very soon.

The only negative thing I can say about the movie is, that Hindi seems to bee a pretty fast language, so the subtitles are actually not on screen long enough on a few occasions and also the translation does not seem to be spot on. Luckily the director could clarify my questions in the Q&A after the movie and he said that I'm not the first one who asked these. So bare that in mind, that the translation can cause confusion.

Anyway... Watch out for more from this director!

#MuktiBhawan is a "deadly" film (pun intended) - it deals with the concept of death, but in an invigorating and 'matter of fact' manner - the title refers to a lodge on the banks of the river ganga, where hindus come to spend their last days with the aim of attaining moksh - the father son bitter, sweet relationship is beautifully and naturally depicted by two fine actors, Lalit and Adil - the locations are authentic - the dialogues are unassuming and humorous - this film needs ur love n support - do watch it in theaters. Rating 4/5.
