Barah Aana

It's a good film, there is a lot of comedy.I enjoyed a lot; the story was well structured and really good.

It's a dark comedy, Vijay Rajperformance is good. This movie is of a different kind.

There are very few Indian movies of this kind. It's one of the best films that will come out in 2009.

The Direction is superb.

The movie is entertaining from the beginning till the end It's a puzzle till the end and you never know what's going to happen next.

The story is just unpredictable. We need more movies like this.

If you want my recommendation then it's a must see movie for 2009.

The plot is very binding, telling the story about three middle-class men trying hard to meet ends. It showcases the plight in a very sharp manner, but on the other hand gets monotony while doing so.

The first 30 minutes fails to keep its viewers hooked, as it shows the prologue & introduces the character. Running for less than 100 minutes, it finds grip just before the intermission as is when the plot gets interesting. The climax is although implied, very good and the sole reason why I give it 6.7 out of 10.

Naseeruddin Shah, I won't say was wasted, but was not utilized much. Vijay Raaz steals the limelight with Arjun Mathur. Supporting cast is supportive. Music is fine, so is the cinematography & setup. Direction is average. Narration is fine, but the whole experience could have been more intense, had the makers polished it. Average comedy-drama.

BOTTOM LINE: Recommended, but nothing out-of-th-box here as we expect from independent movies.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Profanity: Mild; Beeped out | Nudity/Sex/Foreplay: No | Vulgarity: Mild | Violence: Strong | Gore: Mild | Alcohol/Smoking: Strong | Drugs: No

I watched it today found it to be a good movie.

Vijay Raj was outstanding. naseeruddin shah had minimal dialogues which could have been improved but he is gr8 anyhow Arjun mathur was good as well as typical strugger

worth more than a watch

The title of the movie was uninviting. So hesitatingly I started to watch it and oh boy...was it great. Yes it was very well made down to earth story in which all the characters have given a great performance. The agony and ecstasy of the characters was so well captured....especially Naseeruddin who spoke so little but turned out to be the central character.

The ending was both classy and hilarious. It kept open the option to bring out a Part 2. But seeing how it was not a box office hit, I doubt if producers would sink money into a sequel. Like many have said in their reviews there is great scope to make such movies so let's hope the is one

I was at IFFI last year. There were slew of films there. posters, banners, cut outs, etc. Barah Anna was one of those films, about which I could not read before the screening. but it was in Hindi So I just didn't think much before entering, I was alone watching this film, it started........and the way it started unfolding, man...

Let me tell you its an absolute delight to watch Vijay Raj and Naseeruddin Shah together. I was like, ****, these two people together will do what not in the film and as the film proceeded further, I was right...... I was laughing and jumping in my seat like all others in the theatre, I was choked in tears at times and, I was feeling triumphant at times, damn.. so many feelings. At times I was laughing so much, in next seat there is this old woman looking continuously at me. I was like whats wrong, this film is doing what it is meant for. I had seen enough of tragic films and this film simply took me to the lighter side. Vijay Raj has outdone himself. He is the man to be watched. Even the slum girl..I liked her. The new actor is also good. He is there in "Luck By Chance" also. Naseeruddin Shah is keeping quite but his every expression is worth thousand words. Guys if you like a real cinema,the real characters and a genuine comedy, go and watch Barah Anna and please watch it in theatres, its a film to be watched in cinema-ghar. I am happy that end of the film was not the usual cliché. I wish I can make such films some day. Where do these guys get such ideas from?? OK..now..

WATCH IT!! WATCH IT!! WATCH IT!!
