Very Good - that's my rating as a whole.
I would rate the stories as under (the following are categorised according to the story content, again my personal view only ...) :
To look out for :
4 - Strangers in the night
5 - Zahir
6 - Lovedale
8 - Rice Plate
Of these, 'Rice Plate' was my personal favorite, given that its
directorial debut of Rohit Roy. The acting and the theme was
phenomenol.
I would have probably put 'Gubbare' in the same league, but
unfortunately, one senses the twist before it arrives.
Good :
3 - Poornamashi
9 - Gubbare
Herein comes my moment of the movie - the kissing scene
involving Nana Patekar. You can almost feel the tear
trickling down your eye.
Average :
None
Bad :
1 - Matrimony (theme not clear)
2 - High on the highway (the only story that has been dragged
unnecessarily)
7 - Sex on the beach (again disappoints you with the climax)
10 - Rise and Fall (briliant technically, but the story - a fuss)
Overall, the editing and background music are the highlights of the movie, with brilliant acting by everyone - ranging from the newcomer Neha Uberoi (in Lovedale) to the indispensable part of Sanjay Gupta - Sanjay Dutt.
The best venture from one of my favorite directors - Sanjay Gupta. A must watch, but only if you think you like the different !!
