Vodka Diaries

What a superb experience after watching Vodka Diaries. The film is very different and there is no reference point for this film. Its a must watch if you are a lover of good cinema. With above par excellence in Direction, Visuals and Background score its a treat for any movie goer!!!

I am very happy that Indian cinema is finally coming up with it's masterpieces. Vodka Diaires will keep you intriguing with it's fine pace and excellent acting. This film is based primarily in Manali, and the filmmaker makes excellent use of the location. It is very much like an international film and the direction complements the screenplay. The film is like none other, watch it for a wonderful experience to your eyes.

The ending was well thought, well done. Such an intriguing film throughout with excellent use of relationships and interaction. Cinematography is of it's own kind. This film is a gift to the eyes for the thrill it gives you . NO masala like the typical bollywood (stupid comedy, dancers , weird action in Tiger zinda hai, judwaa2) And i'm proud that such films are finally being made and there are intelligent filmmakers in the industry

The movie revolves around the series of murders happening in Manali and all these murders have some connection with a night club named Vodka Dairies. The movie goes quiet slow in pace and the thriller for every next shot remains.The story is framed in a nicest way but i feel that the way of convincing could have been better. Finally a good script with a debutant director doesn't do a complete justice with the screenplay.

Debutante director Kushal Shrivastava brings to us a murder mystery thriller film starring Kay Kay Menon in the lead.

Film is set in Manali, where few murders happen in a Hotel called Vodka Diaries. ACP Ashwini Dixit starts his searching for the murderer. Meanwhile, lot's of complexities happen in his life or you can say in his mind. The answer of Who is the murderer becomes really tricky and complex due to lot's of twists and turns.

The snowy mountains have been shown superbly. Kudos to the cinematographer for using the beautiful place as a haunted one. Similarly, the background score gives you a feeling like these incidents are happening in front of you. My favorite piece of music was when Ashwini enters in happening market in night.

Sharib Hashmi plays the role of sub-inspector. He is good. Mandira as ACP's wife is average. May be another actress can be able to pull the role better. Raima suits in her role perfectly.

Kay Kay Menon is the reason I went for. He is absolutely fantastic as usual. I am sure you will connect to him from the very first frame. He has done a fabulous job. Also, I liked the setup of the conversations between husband and wife with the usage of poems and ghazals.

This film is watchable for the performance by Kay Kay and the complexity created by director Kushal. He, as a debutante, is superb. Though, I find the plot similar to a Bollywood movie (I will not write the name, else you will get the theme of this film if you have seen that) starring Rajiv Khandelwal. That is the reason why I am reducing the rating. But, having said that, the situations created in this one are far different and more fast-paced. You can surely feel the thrill during the runtime.

On the whole, this film is definitely worth a watch. But, I guess, it won't make money, because the 2 big Ps are coming next week. Anyway, if you have time, go for it.
