Review: 7 Khoon Maaf (Directed By Vishal Bhardvaj)

Directed By: Vishal Bhardvaj

Starring: Priyanka Chopra

It has been always great to experience Vishal Bhardvaj’s cinema and I honestly see him as India’s own Quantine Tarentino. He always brings something new on screen (which most of the filmmaker will avoid to even touch) with excellence. His latest offering 7 Khoon Maaf also follows the path which he started with Makadee. Its based on Ruskin Bond’s short story “SUSSANA’s 7 HUSBANDS”.

The story spans 3 decades from 80’s to present day. A story of Susanna who has lost her parents in her early life and being brought up by her servants and marries to six men who dies one after another. She has 3 honest servants who stays through her for whole life and a boy-Arun( Vivan Shah) of whom she becomes care taker. How these different men comes in to her life, marries her and what makes them being killed is centre idea of the movie.

The subject itself is quite sensitive and was needed to be written and executed perfectly on screen which Vishal Bhardvaj did excellently. Narration through Arun’s(Vivan Shah) character is one of the plus points of movie. Dialogues, especially for narration are very good with blend of poetry. Priyanka Chopra is a scene stealer and gives her best by far. Supportive Cast has done good job specially the Person who plays role of her butler. Vivan Shah as Arun has made a mark successfully on screen. Real surprise was Annu Kapoor (Susanna’s 5^th husband) was superb. Apart from these all the actors who played her husband had very small screen time and where reasonably good. The Climax is quite surprising one (I don’t know how many will digest it) and positive as well.

All in all the hates off to Vishal Bhardvaj and Priyanka Chopra and their efforts. The movie does not appeal to all kinds of audience but its worth watching.

RATINGS: 7 OUT OF 10.

REVIEW: (500)DAYS OF SUMMER

Well this one was surprising for me at least. It’s a romantic movie with a difference. It starts of with an interesting narration about two leading characters ‘the boy and the girl’ and then showcases their 500 days long relationship where the boy who falls for the girl from the day he seen her and she gets in relationship with him casually like ‘no label’ on their relationship. They had everything in relationship as a normal couple has. They enjoyed being together but suddenly she tells him that they should stop seeing each other and the boy couldn’t understand it. Things gets normal with the boy by the end he meets a new boy meets a new girl.

The story looks simple but the narration is different and was told keeping male character on centre stage which makes movie enjoyable. It’s worth watching.
