Review of Kahaani (2012) by Sumanjit R — 29 Nov 2012
So After Getting Many Great Recommendations from people all over, I Finally saw Kahaani today,and I was very Impressed with what I saw in the coming time.
Dark And Thrilling with twists all around, along with yet another masterful performence from Vidya Balan as the leading actress and the vocal point of the movie having the movie revolve around her character and good supporting acting from the rest of the cast(Specially Sasawata Chatterjee and Parambrata Chatterjee), a gripping story with many twists and turns along with great work from Director and Screenwriter Sujoy Ghosh, Kahaani is one of the rare ''thrillers' in bollywood and definately one of the best(if not the best) which has the excellent story, superb acting and great direction which will keep the audience glued to the movie.
The Story is about a pregnant woman named Vidya(Vidya Balan) arriving at Kolkata from London to find her husband who has been missing for quite a time, and how she discovers clues that lead closer to trying to find her husband with help from Rana(Parambrata),but her secrets and the case's secrets are revealed as the story moves along.
The Acting By Vidya Balan is yet again Masterful and she again proves that she is the best actress in Bollywood Right now with a perfect portrayel of a complicated character and she makes it look so easy with her great acting skills! The Rest of the cast specially Sasawata Chatterjee does an excellent and spooky job as Bob Biswas, along with a good supporting role by Parambrata Chatterjee as Rana,The Police Officer. The Rest of The Cast also do there jobs quite well.
The Direction by Sujoy Ghosh is also excellent as he shows Kolkata superbly in this movie and more importantly does an even better job in making the movie what it is and has made one of the best movies of bollywood in this year. He Also has written the screenplay for this movie which is great and gripping with its turn of twists, and has written one of the better stories which he has utilized brilliantly through his direction.
The Cinematography is also quite good as the cinematographer does a convincing job in showing the beautiful city of Kolkata excellently.
Finally, this is one of the best movies I've Seen this year, gripping and thrilling with great acting, and this is definately a must watch!
My Rating: 8.2/10.
