Story
Vidya Bagchi (Vidya Balan) arrives in Kolkata from London to find her missing husband. Seven months pregnant and thoroughly alone in the intimidating environment of Kolkata's tapered side streets and constricted alleyways, the setting is ahead of credence in its realism. She begins a relentless search for her husband. With nothing to rely on, except for fragmented memories of him, and all clues leading into a dead end, as everyone tries to convince Vidya that her husband does not exist. She slowly realizes that nothing is what it seems. In a city sodden with lies, Vidya is determined to unravel the truth about her husband...for herself and her unborn child, even at the cost her own life.
Analysis :
Post 'The Dirty Picture', the admiration for the National Award winning actress Vidya has scaled woozy heights, and the supremely talented actress delivers a performance that's at par with her former accomplishments. She, very nonchalantly, re-evaluates screen acting in 'Kahaani'. She arrives with yet another enlivening, commanding character in this film and her portrayal of an expecting, frantic lady on a mission to trace her husband's inexplicable vanishing in an unfamiliar land is sure to win laurels by assessors and cinegoers uniformly. This is indeed Vidya's most eye-catching act. Her body language, her confidence, her vulnerability, her fury, her grief; all fall upon wonderfully. Rest all the Actors did their best for the film…
Performance :
The Action sequences are the highlight of the film and to create that enthusiasm in the story, connect and the sequences in the film. The chases, the fights, the demolition, destruction, break-ins, escapes have all been done with a finesse that rivals the best of Hollywood. Specially, the car chase between Priyanka and Shahrukh is a turn over in the film. Though the story is a complete work of fiction, what makes it so close to us is the action episodes the connect taken from the original film. No doubt, apart from Shah Rukh, this is for sure the Director’s film. .
Final Word ‘Kahaani’, an interesting flick to Watch… Don’t give this film a Miss!
