HitOut

All hype and gripe has made the hall full is what i felt today 2nd day of its theatrical release. Above is for Vidya Balan. The supporting star cast was good, the canvas was very loosely knit and gaping holes here and there makes it a disappointment. I wondered a great moola Katha woven around partition and the backdrop will make for riveting story but just fizzled out in second half. Vidya balan known for some daring roles will add to her trophy chest this new medal of portraying a hard hitting character of running a brothel. Director seemed obsessed to give Vidya larger than life image which looks a tard over doing the screenplay. Other giants like Naseerudin, Ashish and Rajit kapoor played a peripheral role which was just adding to the Vidya's overpowering presence and Chunkey Pandey is new avatar looked titillating. Similarly Ila Arun and her typical rusky booming voice actually added sparkle to movie and her role, it made me admire her for her scenes more. l
