Island City

1. Best interrelated movie. 2. You can take or understand the movie in several ways. 3. You can shuffle the 3 model of stories in any order. 4. Reality is shown but hard to accept. 5. Perfect trilogy. 6. Best of best.

The amazing first story makes the mockery of the corporate world, it showcases the herd mentality of people, who'll do whatever is being told, without questioning, as asking questions would receive a backlash, so it leads to funny climax, a dark humor at the face of it.

The second story showcases how entertainment and media eases day to day pain, also it shows how engrossed one can get with it. It also shows that in a relationship, be with wife, mother or children, if there is no love, or excessive control, then they won't stand by you.

The last story is bit complicated to explain. It showcases that one shouldn't expect better then what one is having, there are flaws in everyone, however, the protagonist looks at the flaws of a person and not the love he is having for her.

The message each part gives is real good, however these messages didn't came out directly and difficult to comprehend, except in the first part.

This is the first movie of Ruchika Oberoi and already he has been awarded some prizes. One of them is 72nd Venice International Film Festival,in that ceremony Ruchika Oberoi won the FEDORA prize for the Best Young Director. It is released many festivals in 2015 but in India it is released 2nd September 2016. it is very clear that the movie is not for the masses and the targeted audiences are only the classes. Ruchika Oberoi is a debutant director by this movie and the movie is produced by NFDC India. It is a movie of three different stories and all are from the island city "Mumbai". The theme and the structure are a little bit old but quite enjoyable.

It is a very slow movie from up to bottom and strictly not for the masses. There are three different stories, "Fun Committee", "The Ghost in the Machine", and "Contact". The second story in this movie "The Ghost in the Machine" is the most enjoyable story. It is the story of Sarita who is a housewife and her husband is in a coma. It is a very true but awkward realization that without his husband Mr. Joshi her and her family's life will be more delightful. The other two stories are not so viable and you can easily skip this. These two stories are very common and there is nothing new in that two stories.

Performance wise Vinay Pathak has done a very good job and Tannishtha Chatterjee has done also a fair job for their role. The direction of the movie is OK but nothing to shout about. background score is good but could have been better.

It is true that it is a movie of mass life and common people in Mumbai city but these types movie are not very appealing for the mass people and regular movie goers. It is made for only rewards and prizes but if you have a chance to watch this, You can try.

The movie is best of its type. It shows dominance of machines over human life. How the pleasures of daily life are being ruined and effecting our emotional health, this is beautifully depicted in the movie. Three stories, interconnected in some way to each other, are showing three different impacts of technology on our life.

First movie shows loss of pleasures due to so-called busy professional life and its ethics. Even the fun-time is professionally earned. This movie is a satire of current professional environments. It is one of the rarest surreal movies seen in Hindi cinema.

Second one shows complex and subtle interplay of social responsibilities personal happiness. One of the best of three. It shows one of the themes that I was dying to see on big screen-impact of TV serials on our daily emotions. Personal relationships have lost their charm and artificially constructed scenarios reveal our true emotions.

Third one has a current as well as a futuristic theme. A girl who is not happy with her life, is being forced to marry with a guy who is only occupied with his professional life and shows minimal care for her. She is waiting for a partner who can love her. But she finds herself a victim of technology in the end and has to live a compromised life.

There are several themes being covered in the movie and it requires a detailed analysis for each movie. All three movies are rich in their meanings and messages. They depict poor emotional connections in today's life and how technology and urban environments are impacting our daily pleasures and ultimately happiness.

A MUST WATCH!!!

The movie has a deep philosophical undertone to it.The movie has the courage to ask the audience in the form of stories the deep questions of life.

All the three stories challenged the audience to inquire about the nature of reality and its relationship with human senses and brain. Some deep question were : What makes us enjoy our life? What makes us sad? Can someone enjoy forced fun? Can TV serial story, an imaginary story affect a real story of life. Is love true?

The acting is superb.The background music is very good.The editing and photography is superb.
