Liar's Dice

Loved Nawaz , great movie , simple yet beautiful ! I was surprised that it turned out to be so good .

Things we do in daily life like just walking or just going through the day are shot in plenty of scenes and the story moves really slowly. You have to be really patient. I could sit through this movie just because I love Nawazuddin Siddiqui and he doesn't disappoint. Geetanjali Thapa looks gorgeous

I was looking for Babumoshai Bandookbaaz on YouTube. The video I clicked defaulted to Liar's Dice which actually I had never even heard of. Anyway seeing that it starred Nawazuddin Siddiqui I decided to watch. That the first part was set in heavenly Chitkul was another factor.

To start with, this film is very poorly shot as though by an amateur with a hand held camera. The storyline takes considerable effort to discern and even Nawazuddin's expectedly good acting as well as the stunning Chitkul scenery did not do much to enhance the movie.

The sets were quite realistic and all the characters looked like they were real life locals roped in for the film. Perhaps if the cinematography had been better, it would have helped. Though the plot needed better definition either way.

I do not know how awards are dished out. Liar's Dice didn't really deserve any.

This is a very focused, gorgeously shot and tense film. If features characters from the fringes with little resources searching for lost ones. With only fleeting hope of restoring a happy life with a loved one that has vanished into the modern maze of anonymity, the lead actress leaves her picturesque mountain village to embark on a desperate journey into the suffocating wilderness of megacities and the violence fostered by money. Shot with a naturalistic realism and a patience to allow the audience to breathe in both stunning natural and urban scenery, the film presents a powerful visual exploration of a woman struggling to restore a life she once had, and the looming threats of abject urban poverty that threaten to swallow her pure soul. I recommend this film for those looking to understand life for those without material wealth, and an audio visual experience of cities that most films won't show.

Nawaz's character was bit confusing but overall the way story been portrayed from the very beginning; it is worth watching.

Great background, everything seems real, great story.

Life of any other migrant worker. Painful.
