Rarely does a film from which there were no prior expectations comes & hits u in such a way . Superstar is 1 such movie . I bought it because I felt that a movie dvd for 50 is quite cheap. But ended up falling for its charm . much of the credit should go to the excellent & novel execution of rohit jugraj & the brilliance of the most underrated & deserving young performer in Kunal Khemu . the film is a simple tale of ability of a person to choose between ambition & relationship , what do u choose ? the story of two look alikes – a richie rich & a struggler whose path cross & dreams clash . what happens next .
Jugraj is technically brilliant director & he infuses all his brilliance in making each & every shot look superb . But unlike his previous films this time he has a story to tell . the film does have its deficiencies - he does add his share of formula in this one especially in the last portions , the supporting characters are the ones we have seen in so many films earlier. But what works is the relationship of the two look-alikes & the twist in the tale .he is aided by brilliant technical team right from cinematography (superb for a low budget film) to editing (crisp) to choreography( novel) .
Finally in Kunal Khemu hindi cinema has a ready-made star only if the media is free from the so called young stars who cant even act if they have to carry a film on their own shoulders . Kunal does just that in Superstar & comes out In flying colours . hope the media smells coffee & wake up to this dynamite of a talent . watch this movie to underearth 2 new talents for hindi cinema – Rohit Jugraj & Kunal Khemu .
