Review of Aashayein (2010) by Ajayesh S — 01 Sep 2010

Movies about death are rare in themselves, as its the toughest topic to make a movie about. Kukoonoor goes one step ahead and takes a stab at the very concept of dying. Most will find this movie disconcerting and heavy, but I think its a good attempt.

I do wish Kukoonoor had waited to mature as a filmmaker prior to tackling this subject, he'd have done a superior job. The emotions are somehow lacking in the pull required from a death flick and it shows.

The cast is too inexperienced for this subject and overall, it turns out just OK. But a great concept with execution lacking finesse expected.
