THE SATURDAY MORNING MOVIE CLUB

Thoughts on Cinema.

Dedh Ishqiya

4/15/2017

Note: Originally written in July 2014

Often with the Vishal Bhardwaj 'camp' of films, one can't help but wonder how the flicks manage to be so supreme amidst the mediocrity that surrounds Hindi Cinema. "Dedh Ishqiya", in every sense, proves that notion. Brilliantly written, with just the right doses of black humour, satire, artistic vigor and cinematic depth, Dedh Ishqiya has a much improved Abhishek Chaubey at the helm. The soundtrack is surprisingly underrated and has beautiful elements that need a closer look to be appreciated. The screenplay slightly shortchanges the female leads from delivering that extra edge. But watching Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi, and Vijay Raaz in this flick is a real delicious treat!

    Atlantic City says so much about two people in a relationship, without saying too much.

    A comedy that is fun, while being just good cinema in the first place.
