Manorama Six Feet Under

Yet again an Abhay Deol movie which was so totally different from a routine Bollywood movie. I guess its not difficult to find such thrillers in Hollywood but in Bollywood its an absolute rarity.

Satyaveer (Abhay Deol) is a regular government employee with a penchant for writing. He wrote a detective novel which ended up being a big flop. But he still had that detective lurking somewhere inside him. Thats why when Manorama(Sarika) comes to him with an offer, he couldn't refuse. What started as a small assignment kept getting more complicated and much more dangerous that he could have ever imagined. He should have probably washed his hands off it but his curiosity took him to a point of no return.

In the acting department, Abhay Deol impressed like he always does. The key take away was Vinay Pathak in the role of inspector and Satyaveer's brother-in-law. The guy is just too good. First Bheja Fry and now this. Two totally different roles and the guy was just excellent in both of them.  Gul panag was strictly ok. Raima Sen looked beautiful and Sarika didn't have much role to play.

Cinematography was brilliant. The shots of rural Rajasthan were so real. I myself being from Rajasthan could totally relate to them. Those roads, those houses, havelis.. authentic Rajasthani stuff. No glamour. True potrayal of how Rajasthan is. There was no trace of any fake there.

Plot was good. The storytelling and the pace of it were apt.

Overall if you are fine with watching a slow paced thriller with no glamour element, I would say go for it.
