Historias de amor

Ankahi kahaniya is a romantic anthology consisting of three stories by ashwini iyer tiwari, abhishek chaubey and saket chaudhary. Here r the positives and negatives:

Ashwini iyer tiwari segment: abhishek banerjee is phenomenal. His expressions and dialogue delivery is unparallel. The bgm used is too good. Very soothing and apt. The supporting cast is good. But it lacks a bit of conviction. A bit more smarter writing was needed. But nitesh tiwari handled it pretty well in writing. I rate it 9 out of 10.

Abhishek chaubey segment:this is perfect. The writing is top notch. Delzad hiwale is so good. His eyes are magnetic. I found a bit of irrfan sir to be honest. This is not a comparison in anyway. Rinku rajguru is innocent and gives an earnest performance. Abhishek chaubey is a genius. His frames, his vision is to some other level. A vishal bharadwaj school prodigy doing his job excellently. The editing is too good. The parallel lives of the protagonists are beautifully seamed up. This should not be missed. I rate it 10 out of 10.

Saket chaudhary segment: this is bit weak. Acting is unquestionable. Zoya hussain and kunal kapoor hv given their best. But the fault is in writing. It is so dialogue heavy that the moments become light. Visual grammar was necessary. The colour grading is good. But it is a good watch. I rate it 8 out of 10.

Story line > Good.

Movie Speed > Bit Slow Interesting > OK OK

Good movie with the average actors.

Could have been even more better scripts and play.

Beautiful stories, excellent performance by the cast. Why only 3? Probably a good thing when we have other anthologies with lovely stories and a few bad apples ruins the bunch. The mid story is distictly superior than the other two, subtle, tender, exquisite. Good work by the team.

Well made, Abhishek Banerjee has delivered fine performance!

Worth the time.

Anwar Says: In one of my review, I had written last week that it seems you would hardly get something good to watch and write in September. Three known veteran film personalities trying an Anthology on Netflix , the expectation got high but they would have been better left UNSAID.

Abhishek Chaubey's creation , the middle one of three short stories, was the only one worth talking about. Producer chose not to name the stories. Set up in 1980's , two hopeless young people liberate each other from their dark destiny and superbly played by Rinku Rajguru and Dilzad Hiwale , one who played the younger Irfan in Hindi Medium. The excitement of watching movie in sweaty single theatre has been nicely conveyed.

Ashwini Iyer Tiwary's story tried to show the loneliness a single man in a big city faces , as if the viewers don't know. The lead Abhishek Banerjee tries to make you believe that you may find a companion in a mannequin. Not a bad story but very loosely said.

The third one of Saket Chaudhary is a real pretentious, asking more than enough on infidelity, in spite of having top cast Kuna Kapur and Zoya Hassan, Palomi Ghosh and Nikhil Dwivedi. The director who gave us two side effects'Shaadi' and 'Pyar' couldn't contribute any effect in this story.

Abhishek Chaubey, the genius should come out of this Anthology business, we are dying to watch more and more of his creations in continuation to Ishqia, Dedh Ishqia , Udta Punjab Sonchiriya ...... #Netflix #anwarsays #AbhishekChaubey #ashwiniiyertiwary #saketchaudhsry #AnthologySeries #movie2021 #review #moviereview.
