Ouch

A man in a hotel room. A lady to the same room. The detail of an illicit romance. But the things are little different by expectations and the rules are imposed not exactly by him.

The conscience of lady, a sofa not perfect and a suitcase are the stars of this short comedy about reations about sentimental adventure and the duty to family.

So, poor man, consolated with an usefull suitcase , between mother, wife and girlfriend , well acted by Manoj Bajpayee, and the fall of imagined future near the love of his life.

Not the last, interesting attention to details, realistic story and fine irony about middle age crisis and differences of perspective between men and women, in a not very often manner.

The boomerang effect is nicely dealt with in this film. What goes around comes around, as they say, and adultery is probably no exception. Set in quite a large and pretty hotel room, the film presents an episode which is supposed to be a turning point in the lives of two individuals who have been cheating on their spouses with each other for three years. The development of the story is quite decent but then there are pitfalls. For one, the short is very static. Not only is it set in one apartment, it's actually mostly shot on one couch! You would expect more movement throughout the conversation. Even just him getting up a little earlier and moving around would do the job.

Technically the film is great, but the background music is quite annoying as it frequently comes in the form of rather annoying sting-like noises designed to punctuate the situation and sort of 'help' the viewers understand the homour and distortion of the situation. I can't stand such disregard for the viewers' intelligence. It obviously explains the fact that the script itself is lacking in spice. Acting-wise, Bajpayee is very good playing this rather annoying, selfish man. He totally gets the pathetic nature of the character, and then the pathetic nature of his situation. Pooja Chopra is quite okay, too. The moral of the story is nice but too obvious. A stronger blow was called for.

Acting - Manoj Bajpayee (u know😅) Comedy - superb😂 background music - Hilarious fav. Scene - dat sofa one at last🤣 literally i was drinking water.. it burst out like fountain (at that scene)
