3 Storeys

Awesome story,bollywood needs such kind of stories

Each story described in the film has a twist, possibly a couple of you would even think about what it is, however the way it has been described by Arjun Mukerjee, that is absolutely commendable. I haven't seen any film where the surprise element in the story has been described so unpretentiously without going emotional.

The main issue here is that while the screenplay in the first half is tight and connecting, the second half loses it's grasp a bit particularly in the last story. In any case, the film figures out how to shock us indeed in the peak, a turn that none of us anticipated.

While narration is great, and screenplay could have been somewhat better, one office where the film gets full marks is the acting department!

This week's most refreshing release '3 Storeys' shows three different stories set in a chawl of Mumbai. A well written fast pace thriller this film keeps you hooked from the start till its end.

Each story has a certain gripping element along with a surprise ending that you never see coming. The stories include Flory(Renuka Shahane), a grieving mother and a businessman Vilas(Pulkit Samrat) looking for a kholi, Varsha(Masumeh Makhija), facing an abusive marriage and her ex-lover Shankar(Sharman Joshi) & Malini(Aisha Ahmed) and Suhail(Ankit Rathi) two youngsters deeply in love but separated by parental pressure with Leela(Richa Chadda) as the narrator.

The characters share almost equal screen time with each of them giving admirable performances specially Renuka, Sharman and Masumeh. However the strength of the movie lays in its writing and the short run-time. The screenplay is written by Althea Dalmas Kaushal who in past has been a part of flops like 'Happy New Year' and 'Noor' and is brilliantly directed by Arjun Muherjee(making his debut).

'3 Storeys' is a good example of how a film rapidly moving movie can be executed within a short time span. You come out of the theater with growing respect towards these low-budget classics.

Well the thinking and creativity behind this movie is all reavealed at the end of the movie which is quite surpising. Never seen a movie with this kind of twist before definitely a good watch ! All the actors were great but the story of middle one seems quite a repitative otherwise the other two were quite good !

Direction:

Debutant director Arjun Mukerjee has chosen different way of story telling. Director has showcase another side of imagination at the climax that one another great thing about cinema. This movie will hold you till the climax is the win of the director who can engage his audience till climax.

Performance:

This multi-starer has many good performances e.g. Renuka Shahane did one of the impressive performance in aged role. After that Masumeh Makhija has brilliantly portrayed domestic violence victim. Sharman Joshi and Pulkit Samrat were in good touch in short window. Aisha Ahmed and Ankit Rathi have great chemistry. Richa Chadda looks seducing.

Script:

As woven 3 stories from same buiding in less duration is definitely as great job by Althea Kaushal. First story was better than next two however climax for all three stories were full of suspense. As this script target Urban area like Life in a ..Metro movie did.

Music:

This section is slightly disappointing one. Music composed by Clinton Cerejo and Amjad Nadeem while lyrics are penned by Puneet Krishna, Alaukik Rahi, Amjad Nadeem, Shellee and Pushaan Mukherjee. Arijit Singh's Bas Tu Hai song is full of melody.

Last Words:

Go and watch something irregular cinema after huge gap.
