Starfish

A parfum advertisement has more coherence that this film. It is like "mexican soap opera meets Bollywood". Countless continuity errors, stereotypical music, poor performances, in a display of exuberance and lavish locations. On the bright side, it can serve very well as a travel advertisement of Malta and southern Italy. If you are the type of person that can't sleep without some white noise or something in the background, this movie is perfect for you. Otherwise, don't bother.

As I have nothing else to say about this movie, I will write this final sentence to fill the gap in this review. Bye.

Starfish review :

Based on Bina Nayak's book Starfish Pickle, this two hours long movie turns out to be a royal bore. Beware guys as it can genuinely lull even insomniacs in to a deep snore...sorry to say but Starfish goes astray despite quite a few positives up its sleeve.

Like the exotic locales of Malta and Sicily (Italy) which are beautifully captured here! The underwater sequences are also wonderfully shot which reminded me of one more Bollywood biggie called Blue (2009). Unfortunately just like Blue, Starfish rests on a wafer thin plot which just doesn't go anywhere. After all, how many times can you watch the voluptuous Khushalii Kumar drinking like a fish, doing drugs and partying hard like there's no tomorrow. Glug glug!!

Khushalii Kumar was impressive in last years Dhokha Round D Corner and in Starfish too, she displays adequate acting chops coupled with her abundant sex appeal quite effectively. Kudos to that!!

I was actually expecting some hot chemistry between the macho Milind Soman and Khushalii but just as they come close to kiss, the director shifts focus away from them. Oooff, that's sacrilege!! As for those two (supposed) hunky heroes who get lucky with the leading lady, the less said the better!!

To sum up, Khushalii soars but Starfish drowns...

Don't get carried away with high ratings. They come mostly from Indian users. We could call it something like the "Indian public lobby", again generating false expectations.

Almost all of them rate this movie with 10 points, do they really think it is on a par with Titanic, The Revenant or Forrest Gump?

That aside, Starfish has a noble intention in the message of its story. The protagonist is a beautiful diving professional who seems to have the world at her feet because of her beauty, but deep down she carries a huge emotional and psychological backpack. As a result, Starfish does a good job of showing this protagonist's weaknesses and more emotional downfalls, as she goes on an increasingly desperate quest to heal herself and her past.

Now for the bad. Overall, all the performances. Always over the top, exaggerated, not in keeping with the deep existential drama that the script wants to tell. Sometimes, the mix with comedy and music only serves to numb the senses and increase the disinterest in the main story.

And the link with the depth of the ocean and the underwater world only serves as a barely cosmetic context.

The quick happy ending ends up being, in reality, a sad and abrupt consolation for the viewer who resisted the almost 2 and a half hours of an afternoon soap opera turned into a movie.
