Ajeeb Daastaans

Watch the movie for 3rd and 4th story. They are absolutely marvelous.

Konkana and aditi rao are very good in 3rd story. It was more like a commentary on friendship.

4th story broke my heart so badly , the ending, manav kaul , first in Nailpolish and now this, he has won my heart.

Please watch this story, it is straight from the heart.

Majnu: bad movie . Full of abuses and mediocre acting by the talented cast. It is a bit of an extension of sahib biwi aur ghulam.

Khilauna: This is a good movie with very good acting from the star cast. It's funny emotional scary at times and the end opens up many questions that are not answered in the script.

Geeli puchi: this is the best of all the 4 movies with amazing acting from Konkana sen. The movie though revolves around casteism, same sex interest and color obsession which some people may don't like as it is shown too much now a days when the things are changing esp when due to reservation the promotion for the particular section is better than the unreserved candidates .Nevertheless, there are still many cases around all the topics shown in the film so it deserves to be shown and it is shown very nicely in the film. Apart from this, there is a human emotional layer added to the story which makes the movie worth watching a number of times.

Ankahi: this movie is a beautiful tale and beautiful acting by the lead casts but for me it is a one time watch.

I don't know why the barrage of negative reviews. It's like a part of India just wants to avoid or close their eyes to anything that's not sanskaari. They believe we live in some pristine make believe world. Ajeeb Daastaans portrays such stories of lust, lost love, revenge, and confusion in a subtle and realistic manner. I liked all four shorts, but the last two were a cut above the rest. Loved the two main leads in the last one especially. Please Indian audiences, learn to stomach reality and stop expecting your utopian dsyfunctional superficial lifestyles on the tele. Grow up!

Among the 4 stories, I find the third story interesting and thought provocative. I found the first story over the top. Did not need this kind of turn and twist in this stupid way. Could have showcased the whole story in a more sensitive and constructive manner. In second story, Nusrat did not fit for the part. But the concept is good. For someone who is marginalized, how everyday goes, just to fight for their simple basic rights. How tormented their everyday life gets. And the last story seems cliché. Watched this kind of story in a different setup. However, the concept is same.

Starting with Majnu: It depicts the constraints of an otherwise powerful man in loving his wife, even in killing her but then he finds a friend in whom he confides but story serves a superb twist just then.

Khilauna: A clever house-help who is just trying to make a happy life for herself and her young sister, but the young girl is too smart for her age. The young girl's work deserves a special mention, she seemed like a mature actor.

Geeli puchchi: A simple married woman, who is trying to understand herself and her sexuality befriends a gay girl and how their story unfolds in an unconventional manner is worth watching.

Ankahi: Manav Kaul is extremely cute in this otherwise regular story.

Overall, the movie is a must watch. Because of the length of each story it keeps you entertained every minute you watch.
