After the relentless advertising and promotions all over the media, why do we go to see the movies? To find what happens in the end, or to see if there is anything more than whats revealed in the promos?
As for the movie, it has all that you expected it to have. Its a satire on media, on the uselessness of babus in the ministry, on the heartlessness of politicians ans maybe on each and every one of us who take this in our stride and laugh it off, saying "koi aur hai isko theek karne ke liye".
The movie is damn good, the pace racy, the language very real, the situations very normal and its funny, while it tries to mock the "angrezi channel vs "hindi channel rivalry. Anyone who watched tv in the run up a month before the movie release will have a clear picture of what the movie is all about, in fact, there's nothing much left to see in the movie as we have seen it all in the promos. This takes out most of the fun when watching it on screen, again paying 200 for a ticket, 110 for popcorn and pepsi.......Thank god it wasn't a murder mystery.
So what happens to Natha? Thats the only thing you go to the movie for, to see what happened to Natha in the end. Was it worth going to the multiplex to see just that? Not really. Wait a month and it will be airing on some channel or other. Had the promos left something to imagination, its a movie worth a watch in theatres.
This one looks like an entry onto the oscars this year. Foreigners love to see the poverty, "daliddar", dirt, shit, everything bad and ugly about so so it makes them feel good about themselves. So yes, it deserves to be there in oscars.
Watch it.
