My Birthday Song

As a first time director, Samir Soni chooses quite a difficult subject, but does show some promise as I like the concept but screenplay is lukewarm which makes the things uninteresting. The movie manages to generate tension and suspense but they don't pay off at the end. Now as far as the plot goes, it's very muddled and lacks depth. It tries to be smart but end up being the opposite - dull. The movie expects the viewer to keep up with the multiple timelines running through the film without any good narrative structure. Sanjay Suri does a good job in the lead role. The rest of the secondary cast are okay. The Cinematography is very good and so is the score, as it intensifies the scenes.

This movie was going good right from the start..keeps you occupied and exhilarated throughout. The components in this movie give uncanny resemblance to "Nocturnal Animals" (2016) and "Mulholland Drive" (2001). I was all praising Bollywood for bringing such movie after a long time since John Abraham's "No Smoking" (2007) and Akshay's "8X10 Tasveer" (2009) until the meritless poorly scripted ending which abruptly made me realise I was watching a Bollywood movie after all.

I believe if a movie is able to make you sit for it whole duration then its a good movie. May be you don't agree with its ending but still it was able to make you see every second of it and My Birthday song will just do that . The director is commendable for his effort and execution of the movie. Sanjey Suri is good and so is Nora Fatehi and she just look beautiful. I recommend it to watch it once and you will not regret your decision. Samir should be proud of his effort.

Why do the movie has got 90 percent dialogues in english and mentioned as hindi language movie.

Just watched. I won't say anything about the story. In fact I would say, don't even bother to watch the trailer. Just go blind. It is 8 or 9 ratings movie. But its low budget movie and without any big names in it. This effort deserves an appreciation.
