Wajood

An artist's choice. Another movie that deviates itself from the ordinary Bollywood cliché. With an entertaining yet though-provoking story line, this film proves itself to be a definite watch. What distinguishes this film from any other film is the script. The story has several layers, some open for analysis and some layers need some careful consideration, and that is exactly why you lose yourself in the character at the end. The film has a cyclic structure which is bound to thump the hearts of the analytics amongst the audience.

The performances are excellent, especially Nana Patekar... thoroughly outstanding performance. This man has a story to speak in his real-life, it is no wonder that he can act. He sure can do that so well. He loses himself in his character so well that the audience is left with no choice but to not only watch the movie, rather feel it (would've been perfect if the cinematography was a little better though). Madhuri Dixit, too did a good job excluding moments when I'd cringe because of here over-acting at times. Although she was excellent on screen as usual, at times I felt she had to make a real effort to keep up with the excellent performance delivered by my man, Nana!

Having said the pros, I think this movie would surely spread itself over your list of movies that you gotta watch at least once in your lifetime. So do yourself a favour.... watch this gem!

This is a hidden gem.I'm surprised i've never heard of this movie before. In none of the interviews has Madhuri Dixit ever mentioned about this movie being her favorite and i'm surprised, as the performances by Nana Patekar and Madhuri are outstanding.The plot is very unusual but as an Indian you can relate to the fact that our society puts an immense pressure on education and securing a job thereafter.As parents we do not encourage our child to take up his/her passion and end up pushing him/her to achieving some "regular" job that the society can appreciate.Not all kids can become something what parents want them to be and these are the few who are severely impacted,its like a tug of war in their minds trying to follow passion on one side and being pulled by societal pressure on the other. Nana has two passions in his life ,Theater and Madhuri, and how in the end he pours his feelings out for the love of his life while enacting it in the form of a play,his other love.The way the ending scene was taken is something i've never seen on Indian cinema.This movie is a cinematic genius..Hats off to the person who conceived this thought!and to the actors for delivering stellar performances

This is a wonderful movie and a must watch if you are looking for some real acting. This is a fully Nana Patekar movie. Different from other traditional Bollywood movies, this movie asks you several real questions and lets you ponder for answers.The movie revolves around the life of a theatre artist(Nana Patekar)who falls in love with another theatre actress(Madhuri Dikshit) working under him. You will be left thinking at the end of the movie. Dreams, life, reality, the movie speaks of love. The story line is strong, and Nana has given a real life to it.Especially when he appears in different roles.On a whole Nana at his best!

Just few pointers : 1) I felt i watched a masterpiece after watching this movie and was surprised to see rating of 6.4 on IMDb and below average collections on box office. Unbelievable ! That's why i am writing this review. 2) If you have not watched yet, then please go and watch. There are at least 4 scenes in the movies, which would make you feel you are utilizing your time for good. (I have watched many Hindi movies and they do not even have one scene which would make one feel money and time are worth spent.

Enjoy !

It is sheer brilliance of the whole team associated with this team.

Well description of human character, nana patekar steals the limelight from start of the movie. Madhuri done well. The dialogue delivering is excellent and the last scene will surely make heart melt. Very few stories we can see in 90s that were out of the trend of revenge. It was a little that kind but still was way different.
