3 Storeys

NO SPOILERS

The film from debutant director Arjun Mukherjee fell into the genre which is being hardly sought of in Bollywood. The film starts of with the narration in a female voice and focuses on a young lad(pulkit) looking to buy a house near his office. He comes by Flory Mendonca played by Renuka Sahane and unarguably the strongest performance in the film.Well here begins the first story,Flory a widow has been living in mayanagar(three storey chawl) and ready to sell the flat.Though expensive,the lad agrees to buy it and a sinister plot creeps in the climax. The second story begins with the unhappily married life of varsha due to his abusive husband. The weakest of the three stories comprises of the back story of varsha with her lover and an obvious relation to the present as the story moves on The third story deals with two love birds from different religion and their family not approving their marriage. The whole cast was superb specially Renuka Sahane.The first story was unique,well executed and the most intriguing of the three.The second story was equipped with nice performance from Masumeh Makhija(varsha) and sharman joshi(shankar) but laid down by predictable plot and mediocre script The third story was better and also supported well by the lead actors. The film will bound u to the seats till the end. A nice work from director Arjun Mukherjee too.The background score was perfect.

A good film to watch 7.1/10

This movie is a Masterpiece . I don't know why this type of movies don't get their recognition.

#3storeys is a niche film which narrates multiples stories set in a chawl. There is a khadus goan catholic lady who sells her house at an exorbitant price n kills the buyer. There is a middle class lady, who is unable to marry her sincere lover, due to a miscommunication. There is a hindu girl in love with a muslim boy, but its later revealed that they r actually brother n sister. There is a lady in a wheelchair, who quietly observes all the characters around her. With a short running time, all stories keep u engaged. Performances r good. Worth watching. Rating 3/5.

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!

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 !
