Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai

Expectations turned down !

Success sometimes takes a toll of your perception and you plunge into something to eventually disappoint your audience. Sirf Ek Banda Kafi Hai was a bad choice for Manoj Bajpayee. Storyline, direction, editing, cinematography all combined to substandard the actor's craftsmanship. The movie lacks finesse, fails to maintain continuity in flow with absurd editing, dragging scenes, unimpressive cinematography.... disgruntling viewers. The delivery of dialogues lack conviction. A below average movie. Regret investing time in it. Utterly frustrated with the makers who cast a good artist to attract audience but shatter the latter's hope with such below average creation. The level of quality of the film is unsatisfactory. The movie fails to leave an impact on the viewers, rather tries the latter's patience to the finish.

I regret opting this movie. In a nutshell, the movie robbs the audience of their expectations, time and money. At this point of stardom my earnest advice to Manoj as a fan - pls... Look before you leap !

Manoj Bajpayee who has done sensitive movies like Aligarh has done such a bad job here. This movie falls flat on face of viewers and leaves them with complete disappointment. The expectation have been to see a masterpiece but on the contrary we see week storyline with poor acting & direction.

There were lot of hopes but all in vain. The story line was weak and was not all captivating. We were expecting strong story line but it was not what was served. There should have been more meat on the story to hold viewers. We were disjointed and lot interest as it started. Making us feel borer and monotonous.

First of all makers of this film lied that this film had a world premiere at the prestigious New York Film Festival at the Lincoln Center, check Wion news if I'm giving wrong information. The film had actual premiere at the C grade New York Indian Film Festival. Chalo vo bhi thik hai, now let's come to the film. Which case you're trying to show in the film? Why can't you name it? Because you wanted to tamper with facts and present suitable account of the case that you have no guts to name, otherwise you know so well you will be sued in court. By the another side. What a waste, feel sorry for Manoj.

Sometimes, you overlook minor flaws while focusing on the bigger picture. "Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hey" is one of those movies that will show you what courage can do and how a common lawyer can shake the mighty, so-called God figure. A few of the dialogues may seem cliché; however, if you look at the final product, you can see the honesty and intent with which the movie was made. The story revolves around a minor rape victim fighting against a mighty Baba with thousands of followers. "Sirf Ek Banda" tries to shed light on the problems of our society and the issues related to blind-eyed devotion. Personally, I would have loved it if the story had focused more on the girl's narrative rather than turning it into a total courtroom drama. Nevertheless, the movie is good overall. It will shake you to the core and demonstrate why the POCSO Act is a good legal framework as well.

Every nuance captured so flawlessly that it amazes me how someone can criticize it. Brilliant depiction and court room drama. Manoj Bajpayee acted immaculately all throughout the movie but the most amazing thing that was captured was his shaky confidence and trembling infront of bigger lawyers. The real lawyer PC Solanki fought against the likes of Ram Jethmalani, Salman Khurshid and Subramanian Swamy. It is very intimating for a lawyer to argue against such renowned lawyers irrepective of the district court or Supreme court and Manoj Bajpayee captured both the Starstruck and Trembling infront of such eminent lawyers so perfectly that is exceptionally standsout. Great work by the Director to keep to the required details, everything is super dynamic and it will be hard to take your eyes off the screen esp during court room scenes.
