Règles de trois

I don't know why the barrage of negative reviews. It's like a part of India just wants to avoid or close their eyes to anything that's not sanskaari. They believe we live in some pristine make believe world. Ajeeb Daastaans portrays such stories of lust, lost love, revenge, and confusion in a subtle and realistic manner. I liked all four shorts, but the last two were a cut above the rest. Loved the two main leads in the last one especially. Please Indian audiences, learn to stomach reality and stop expecting your utopian dsyfunctional superficial lifestyles on the tele. Grow up!

Watch it for the 3rd and 4th parts. The performances and screenplays would keep you engaged right through.

Watch the movie for 3rd and 4th story. They are absolutely marvelous.

Konkana and aditi rao are very good in 3rd story. It was more like a commentary on friendship.

4th story broke my heart so badly , the ending, manav kaul , first in Nailpolish and now this, he has won my heart.

Please watch this story, it is straight from the heart.

4 stories

Majnu - 6 stars - Lust. Revenge. Decent acting. Jaideep is good, Fatima still amateurish

Khilauna - 4 stars - Nusrat as maid did not suit at all. Abhishek n the little girl were much better. Storyline above average

Geeli Puchhi - 8 stars - Hats off to Konkona. So many parameters covered in single story, Caste, Privacy, Loyalty, LGBT

Ankahee - 9 stars - The best of this. Shefali n Manav, uff what actors. Straight from the heart.

First movie is about a lover. Typically twists and lust stories and eventually comes down to revenge and tragic ending.

Second story is about class system, power and revenge. Nusrat plays grey character who you will not find perfect, she does the decent acting playing house helper, not the best. Specially when Tillotama Shome's is still fresh in audiences' mind in 'Sir'.

Third movie is hands down the best plot, best movie of this anthology, a LGBT story made correct. It talks about class, patriarch, cast system, equality and much more serious topics of society. Not a love story but the story about acceptance. Loved it. Greatly made.

Konkana Sen Sharma proves again why she is one of the best actor we have.

Fourth film is second best in this anthology, Shefali Shah is another gem of film industry, Manav kaul has done fabulous job. Again note that this is not a love story but the story which teaches acceptance. So the climax is set very wise and heart pinching.
