Chopsticks

This small movie on Netflix, made my Sunday. It stars Abhay Deol, Mithila Palkar and Vijay Raaz. It's about a small town girl, working in Mumbai, whose car gets stolen. That's when she meets the con man played by Abhay Deol. Vijay Raaz plays the bhaai, who has a goat. The movie is breezy. You can relate to the girl and her office trouble. Abhay Deol is a treat to watch in his white shirt and blue denim. He needs to be more on the screens. So understated. So brilliant. Ofcourse Mithila Palkar fitted the role of Nirma perfectly. This movie will make you smile at the end of it. If for nothing, watch it for Abhay Deol. I watched it yesterday, which was a Sunday. It was a perfect weekend movie. I promise you won't regret it. You will walk away with a smile.

A simple concept with brilliant performance. Being a fan of Abhay Deol I might sound biased but he was as usual good at whatever he did. Good time passing movie.

Abhay Deol, a fine actor and there is no doubt. But there is new girl on the screen, well not new for many but at least I watched her for the first time and she is Mithila Palkar. A cool, simple, nice and a cute addition, with beautiful and simplest of acting, 10/10 for the role. A very nice weekend watch, do see.

Don't be fooled by the 6.x rating, this movie is definitely a 7 or greater on every parameter! Mithila is really good as is Abhay Deol, Vijay Raj needs no recommendations. The movie is adequately paced. The plot is quirky with some really good dialogue writing. The performances, writing and direction makes it a refreshing mix to watch.

On the weaker side, It goes slow for a while, and also seems over the top at times, but overall the pace and tight storytelling compensates for that. The climax might feel a bit abrupt, but leaves a fulfilling emotion.

Highly recommended for a weekend watch with family.

*** no spoilers *** I really liked the movie, nowadays most Bollywood movies are too dark subjects, biopics or overdramatise stories, so we need more like this soulful and lighthearted movies. Although characters need more depth story line but movie filled with basic human values , which shows there is a soft corner for every person who we think might be cruel adding to this the movie shows the society still values for good people. Mithila's action as an innocent girl is top notch and funny , Abhay deol's and Mithila's small moments of chemistry are heart touching . Overall the movies is worth a watch .
