Dry Day

Very poor storyline with very weak screenplay and bad direction. The characters are mostly sketchy with no depth. Jitender and Anu Kapoor have acted nicely but Shriya Pilgaonkar is just too bad. She doesn't suit the role at all. Unable to understand why any producer and director risk taking her? Can't they see her poor acting skills? The side actress, don't remember her name, the one who tried immolation was just brilliant.

It is amazing that such huge monetary risks are taken for such a poor story... Indeed people have huge risk taking abilities.

The only small positive or good thing in the movie is the diction used by the characters, they have carried it very nicely but not all will be able to understand this Eastern UP dialect.

Man am I surprised to see negative reviews on this one. I mean it was'nt perfect but it was one of the best comedies I have seen in recent times. All the charaacters even extras had good presence.

The lead actor Gunnu and his wife have been excellent. The screeenplay has all arcs and acts that you expect from ta good script. Dialogues were as funny as one expect. The second half has all the twist and turns and cliffhangers that are usually lacking in plain jane comedies nowdays. Overall its a good film that depicts exactly what many alcoholics do and it was 2023 best comedy. I bet you to suggest any other. Go watch.

It has been tried before in the movie, A lot of times where the gray character of the beginnings has to do right and ideal things because he is forced to do so somehow. Take an example of Ghulam Amir Khan the thug slowly turning into the ideal person. However in "Dry day" the reminiscence of "GUIDE" can be seen where a crooked is forced to go on hunger strike and ultimately changes the course of the story.

The place where the story faulters is the loose editing (lot of unwanted sequence with no consequential effect on the story still in the movie), music ( no mention-worthy songs) and the motive of the story which is attached to gannu's wife. Shreya Pilgaonkar's motive, her persuasion in the beginning seems forced and subsequently diluting the chemistry between.

Story of an alcoholic leading the alcohol ban petition, interesting move but alas lacked the depth and study.

I watched the movie with lot of expectations as our jitu bhaiyya is the hero of this film. However, the movie turned out to be quite boring in the end. The topic was good but couldn't be justified. Overall the movie looked as if it was directed very casually. The movie looked confused! It didn't had any strong flavour of humour, emotion, action, drama or anything else. Maybe a mix of everything. Jitu bhaiyya was good but couldn't be utilised properly. Anu ji is a great actor and always impresses. Rest of the actors were substandard and unable to do justice with their roles. The director thought to carry the whole film on jitu bhaiyya and Anu Kapoor ji's shoulders but failed. I'll not call the movie disaster but a boring one. I had high hopes but shattered completely. It's a okayish movie and can be skipped if you have other priorities in life!

That's all. Sayonara!

The central theme is good.

But it fails to elicit the emotional response from the audience. Let alone the twisty plot with excessive abusive language.

Plot has significant loopholes in multiple characters and plot points. For example, Sattu joining the movement for far too long. Funding from Balram. Dauji's public rebuttal followed by no course of action by the public which happens to attack Gannu on arrival.

In terms of acting, few actors went over board while most felt real.

The film has good music scores.

Overall, I appreciate the hard work that must have been put by everyone to make this film but the public rating is justified in terms of the short comings of the film.

I would be surprised if you leave the theatre inspired or changed. Rather you might have mixed feelings and are left perplexed.
