Barah Aana

Just happened to catch the premier at the Pune International Film Festival (PIFF-2009), and not to mention the presence of the legendary Naseeruddin himself and Director Raja Menon at the ocassion.

The story of the movie is not so different than any other off-beat bollywood movie, but the direction impresses. The laughters never miss their slots. The pace of the movie is apt and well poised with the life stories of 3 men (who happen to share a room). The screenplay is intelligent and leaves an impact.

Acting wise, Vijay Raaz takes away the applauds, as Naseer strangely isn't explored at all.

Overall, surely worth a watch if you need some light hearted entertainment with a touch of class direction.

The only reason it is not 10 stars is because of a little delay in the first half. The delay in bringing the main story in form, because almost everyone who was watching the movie, had the slightest idea that it was a crime based movie, so why the delay?

Enough wrote for 2 stars missing, let's talk why 8 stars existed there! One of the finest actors, ina movie that is filled with such artistic and plot twisted movie is a worth watch!

Amazing picture, absolutely amazing, the part was awesome, the script obviously well done; the acting and the cast are incredible.

I can't tell you how wonderful the movie was.

The concept of the movie is very interesting.

Nasheerudin Shah is a versatile actor, and one of my favourite actors.

Time and again he proves that he can do better and better. The movie is extremely well made.It's a definitely must see for movie lovers.

The storyline is very unique.

I feel that the movie is well packaged in terms cinematography, direction, editing and execution.

Raja Menon has done a brilliant job as debut director.

It's a good film, there is a lot of comedy.I enjoyed a lot; the story was well structured and really good.

It's a dark comedy, Vijay Rajperformance is good. This movie is of a different kind.

There are very few Indian movies of this kind. It's one of the best films that will come out in 2009.

The Direction is superb.

The movie is entertaining from the beginning till the end It's a puzzle till the end and you never know what's going to happen next.

The story is just unpredictable. We need more movies like this.

If you want my recommendation then it's a must see movie for 2009.

The title of the movie was uninviting. So hesitatingly I started to watch it and oh boy...was it great. Yes it was very well made down to earth story in which all the characters have given a great performance. The agony and ecstasy of the characters was so well captured....especially Naseeruddin who spoke so little but turned out to be the central character.

The ending was both classy and hilarious. It kept open the option to bring out a Part 2. But seeing how it was not a box office hit, I doubt if producers would sink money into a sequel. Like many have said in their reviews there is great scope to make such movies so let's hope the is one
