Review of Barah Aana (2009) by Zahid C — 06 Jul 2011

The movie reflects the saying: "There is an end to man's need, but not his greed." But going by the title, it seems to be inspired from the saying, "Khaya piya kuch nahi, glass toda barah aana.

" (which literally translates to: "Ate, drank absolutely nothing, and broke the glass worth twelve cents." and means something like: "Wasted money on nothing at all.") It's a situational comedy with average performances by the lead characters.

However, the main fault lies in the screenplay. It takes almost first half to reach to the main storyline. And from thereon too, it carries on about so-so. A few laughs scattered here and there, but that's about it.

The short duration of the movie (as compared to most Bollywood movies) works in its favor, and saves it from being disastrously torturous.
