Fursat

Well, there is nothing much to talk about except it was shot on a phone. Well done for that and 1 star for that. That's it.

Story is haphazard, screenplay is a mess, acting of male lead is irritating and nonsensical. Female lead did best what was asked from her. Would like to see her progress more in a better set up. Male lead is pain actually.

VB shot this on iphone but what about the production value of the film. It's lavish and grandeur. Just by saying it was shot on a phone doesn't convey that anyone can make a film of this opulence. Stop fooling.

VB helmed Shakespearean trilogy which is reverred till today. This one is just a waste.

Film Review: Fursat ( a short musical thriller streaming on Disney+ Hotstar) #sanjuzzreviews #Fursat #ishankhattar #vishalbhardwaj #iphone14pro Shot entirely using an iPhone14 Pro & directed by ace director Vishal Bhardwaj, Fursat is very different kind of film which might not appeal to everyone.

It is a five line story made into a film, but not using the conventional 2 dimensional approach.

Ishaan khattar plays a man obsessed with his gadget "Doordarshak" capable of seeing the future. His obsession is such that he misses his engagement on account of it. His fiance gets engaged to another man in frustration & Ishaan sees something in his Doordarshak which brings a whole new dimension to the story.

Be warned, it is a musical and there are many songs in the 30 min runtime of the film. Many of you might feel that the songs slow down the pace of the film but no, it has been presented that way by design. Ishan is brilliant & the dances have been choreographed very well to compliment the narrative perfectly. Icing on the cake is that the film has been shot in its entirety using an iPhone 14 Pro. Just brilliant!!

Worth spending 30 mins of your time to watch something different !!

... Adios 🙂!!

When you hire someone like Vishal Bharadwaj to endorse your newest tech, you will receive so much more than just a promotional piece to sell your products, as is evident in this example.

Fursat is a fantasy-musical drama short with a strong emphasis on presentation. Given the predetermined conditions, Mr. Bharadwaj did a fine job by keeping things clear cut.

While the story and characters provide little in the way of working material, the execution elevates the film to a level that makes it an exciting watch. In terms of pure technical specifications, the iPhone's cameras do offer admirable quality and uniformity throughout.

Now, some of you may argue that there are additional thousands of dollars' worth of rigs and post-production elements that do factor into the final result, but it's great to see that technology has come a long way, in today's world, anyone can follow their dreams with the phone in their pocket, no fancy equipment required, at least in the beginning.

P. S. Ishan, if you're reading this; do work with Mr. Bharadwaj, he will bring the best out of you just like he did with your big brother.

It clearly shows that this film was shot on iphone because of the poor video quality even in 1080p but keeping even that aside, there isn't much going on in this film. The film starts with an interesting cold open setting up some reasonably high stakes for a 30 minute short film but in the end transpires to become comical.

This film solidifies that vishal bhardwaj is really only bound by the commercialization of the hindi film industry but still, he brings life to an artificial studio set piece using some incredible lighting, costume, silhouettes and design.

My big takeaway from this film would be songs and nothing much else because I'm still conflicted about the performances and I don't really know what to make of them.

Fursat. Is a musical drama short with a strong impact on presentation. Vishal Bharadwaj done a good job and make the thing clear cut and perform in a appropriate way . Story and character provide the material in a better way the story execution the film to a level that make it an exciting watch.

While there are some of you argue that there are worth of rigs and post production element s that do factor into the final result. The acting of the male character and female lead is good and the script and screenplay are nice and make mind in a peace the dance scene are good and song in the film are aset of pieces.
