Ghoomketu

It's a very different role than the ones which Nawaz usually plays. Ending is abrupt. Feel good movie.

2014's project being released in 2020 has obviously & already lost its charm as things have changed since then. The movie is surely struggling when it comes to its sensibility. Apart form that the screenplay is scattered and seems very disjointed followed by very poor & I repeat very very poor editing. Despite going all wrong the performances by the seasoned casts is just watch worthy, undoubtedly the star of the movie is Ila Arun aka Santo Bua she was sympathetic, funny and totally natural hitting the bulls eye. Nawazuddin as Ghoomketu, A not so young aspiring writer struggling & exploring Bollywood, writing and narrating different genre including Horror, lovestory, discussing item numbers sometimes breaking the fourth wall and interacting directly with the audience can only be pulled-off by the actor of his stature he did that very naturally. Lastly I like the brief appearance of Anurag Kashyap as Inspector Badlani the 'Chai Pani Cop' he was funny and lit but his character left incomplete which again may be due to the flawed editing. I wish I could see more screen presence of Badlani.

It is a realistic movie. There is good amount of authenticity in the background-setting and the presentation of characters. The comedy genre is not conventional, it is rather tending towards dark comedy. The humour is good and the narration is pretty impressive. I am surprised by the beating this movie has received at the hands of many critics for not being up to the mark. I don't know which world these critics live in, as this movie is far better than the 95% Bollywood trash out there.

The story is too confusing , at times there are scenes where the cinema book chapters are played & at times his villages. Few scenes were clearly avoidable. The supporting cast must have been supporting only but their screen time is too long.

Anurag's scenes could have been avoidable, they dont add to the main script. The 1st police station scene was too long, it was as if he is the main lead.

The village cast is interesting & funny.

In this movie, Nawaz is a from a middle-class guy with desi humour and local language accent. Quite interesting!
