One by Two

'One by Two' is An Under-Rated Film! An enjoyable, slice-of-life film, that is realistic, humorous & engaging. It might not follow the usual clichés that Hindi Film romances do, but it still has a fresh approach.

'One by Two' Synopsis: This is the story of Amit and Samara - two souls in Mumbai, a city of millions & how the universe conspires to bring them together.

'One by Two' is about two diverse souls, who are inter-connected with their each-other due to many circumstances. Its about a guy who's heartbroken after a failed love-affair & an ambitious dancer who's giving her best to make a name for herself. Its the diversity between its protagonists, which makes 'One by Two' a memorable affair.

But, there are some flaws. the slow-pacing, firstly, needed some serious persuasion. The pace is consistently slow, which tends to get to you at times. Also, the running-time, over 135 minutes, needed some trimming.

Devika Bhagat's Screenplay offers an interesting tale of two diverse individuals, with freshness & some really funny dialogue. Bhagat's Direction, on the other-hand, is simple. Cinematography is standard. Editing lacks sharpness.

Performance-Wise: Abhay Deol is natural to the core. He delivers a believable performance. Preeti Desai, keeping aside her faulty diction, is confident & shows off her dancing skills without any inhibitions. Amongst the supporting cast, Darshan Jariwala & Rati Agnihotri are a joy to watch.

On the whole, 'One by Two' is certainly worth a watch.

I wish there is a 0 rating available to assign to this movie. Amazingly pathetic and no clue what the team of this movie was trying to say. I agree movie makers want to show confused young generation, come on but life is still not this dumb that they showed. and seriously, I did not expect Abhay Deol to do a movie like this.

Cut the long story short, Sheer waste of efforts, time and money by both Makers and viewers

Don't WATCH THIS Don't WATCH THIS Don't WATCH THIS

I did not have any words for this review. So I think 10 lines rule should be removed for such movies

i find the film wholly entertaining.abhay deol has graciously played his role of pakaoed IT freak. not necessarily every movie should present it's lead actor as an inspiration for masses. the movie is full of wittingly sarcastic remarks. the plot is unexpected all along with it's highs and lows but never boring.music is refreshingly fresh with crazy lyrics. dialogues are as in normal conversation never superfluous. sidecharacters of shashika, ACP dhawan, amit's parents and friends are fun to watch. story could be common but presentation is entirely offbeat. the movie would definitely qualify for contemporary cinema. better watch it in theatre than wait for DVD print...

Abhay Deol is the only actor from Deol's family who has always stood out with method-thinking role but with One By Two he loses sheen of performance which might prove to be fatal for his career.

One By Two tells the story of rendezvous between two different people Amit and Samara who are going through turmoil in their life.

First time Devika Bhagat gives an account of life in a metropolitan city but falls flat on the face with poor direction and extremely pathetic screenplay. The movie is unconvincing from start till end and baring few scenes is weak overall. Music is horrible considering coming from Shankar-Eshaan- Loy. Abhay Deol is just about OK but it is Preeti Desai and Lillete Dubey who gives an outstanding performances.

Overall, it is a weak film in all the merits. Poor 1/5

Life is shown as quite complex for the lead actors and the mother of Amit(lead actor) tells him that life is so simple....hey' both are equally true....we just need to change our attitude towards life....as the Sameera (lead actress) said in end " i have stopped believing in fairy tales"....we all need to be realistic before situations become complex...

I liked the concept- a non-compromising behavior and i think it was such a beautiful way of representing...

I watched it on TV and the volume levels were quite up and down after each scene and i was required to continuously up/down the volume part... That was the only low side of watching it...

A must watch for everyone in young and middle-age generation to understand the complexities of life and winning over it without compromising for materialistic things...
