Lost

Lost is a thriller film directed by aniruddha roy chowdhury.

See, this film has its politics at its right place but the path it chooses is quite cumbersome and laborious. The screenplay does not let you hook with the storyline. The characters are not interesting enough. The performances are great. Yami gautam, pankaj kapoor, rahul khanna are fabulous. Kaushik sen in a small role did a wonderful work. The cinematography is epic. Kolkata has always been a city of great mystery. The film establishes it through its narrow lanes quite well. The music is melodious. The commentary on caste and propaganda politics is loud and clear but it remains surface level until the last scene. It hampers the overall quality of the film. The investigation procedure could have been more crisp. This is a good film bogged down by its convoluted screenplay.

Just not saying this because of I am a Yami Gautam Fan. And I really don't understand films how these Reviewers does. But LOST is a good movie. Yes sometime you will fill bored , doesn't have the soul of KAHANI but now a days the kind of Bollywood movies is being made, in that standard this will stand out as a good film.

It could have been a great thriller if the ending was cleverly planned.

It does get lost into finding actually what it wants. It was going into the right direction but got lost in between. Here Vidhi is just going to people and just asking some bunch of questions. But at the end just one person gave away what actually happened to Ishaan. I mean really.

Now about performances. In that case you won't be able to find anyone who isn't suitable for their role. Yami as Vidhi is simply fantastic. You will actually travel with Vidhi around Kolkata. Vidhi is fearless, always speaks her mind, yet she is empathetic, emotional. In one scene she is sitting with Ishaan's sister and told her to eat a cake, after that she looks at her, you will see Vidhi's empathy through Yami,s eyes, That's how good she is. Rahul Khanna, Pankaj Kapoor, Pia everyone is apt to their role.

Lost is a political thriller drama which makes you question about a lot of society problems and of course the government politics. Vidhi a journalist whose aim is to cover and know the story of a lost guy who's suddenly been missing with no reason. Movie sets it's tone from start gets gripping every minute and start questioning your mind with different situations and aspects of lots of political issues. But can a simple journalist make the questioning to the high sector like minister and big political name of India that still hard to believe. Story & Direction is on point but movie is very slow paced and sometimes it gets you bored because each character takes it's time rather to go on a fast note because story isn't unique or different as we've seen previous films based on this just had different perspectives. For ex. KAHAANI is the prime example of a thriller and this film will give you vibe of Kahaani film. YAMI GAUTAM shines in the whole movie and her performance is the only highlights of the film rest of the cast is good but could've been better. Screenplay could've been more tight as it is very slow paced with a slow story. It's an interesting story to follow but it's not everyone's cup of tea.....

People get lost in the gimmicks of the politics --- A one line view post watching the movie

Plot of the Movie

Ishan a theatre - street play actor gone missing & the story comes to the Vidhi Sahani the daring journalist & she is on a mission to find the "LOST" guy & what happens during the course of her journey forms the rest part of the movie.

Movie Analysis 1) If the movie Pink was against the women safety and freedom , here Aniruddha talks about the negative shade of the politics & so the parallel politics in his own way. Writer Shyamal Sengupta , & co writer director had just given again a reminder to the society when politics plays dirty games , even the wisest lost themselves which then becomes a helix kind of state for them.

2) Kolkata had always been the best places for the Bollywood thriller. Kahaani & now Lost, as it always takes the audience with the story & it makes us a feel that the protagonist is not just alone to solve the mission.

3) Yami Gautham had given cent percent justification to the role. Her anxiousness , her curiosity , her hunger to know the truth , Yami able to portray well at the right time which didn't made the audience feel over rated.

4) There was a romance but that doesn't overshadowed the main plot thereby not loosing the gravity of the same.

5) Pankaj Kapur, Rahul Khanna who were having a larger screen presence had given a notable performance.

6) One negative which I felt , after a certain point , the movie was not able to continue as they want so the screenplay was twisted around the protagonist which made little painful.

But overall, a decent thriller movie. Another notable movie in Yami's filmography.

Sameer lodaya.

The movie is well balanced between the fact and assumption

The movie has a general content of a missing boy in which a politician is involved..yami as a criminal reporter tries to join the dots and investigates about the missing boy

The making is very good with yami again played a very strong character after her thrilling movie A THURSDAY though she looked a little soft but managed very well as good support by pankajji, Rahul as usual looks very fresh and young also played a smart politician...some scenes were really very strong in dialogues deliveries

The core part of the movie is the climax which is very good and will ask you what is right and wrong

Let's see how other movies performs as there are many releases this weekend.
