Pros : Cinematography. Editing. Art design Cons: Despite a great cast , somehow the pitch of all key characters seems to be off...Too high in some cases ( All three siblings especially the eldest sister) and too low in some cases ( the parents) . I had loved Zhimma hence had attempted to watch this movie. Seems like the director was trying to offer a buffet for everyone rather than concentrating on telling a story true to its spirit . The premise ( family coming together for a marriage and conflict resolution) is not new but is always interesting depending on the writing. Writing was too ambitious and scenes seemed forced . Even though the casting was top notch but the character graphs were very inconsistent .More simpler writing with more humour ( not crude humour with tacky background score) focused on moving the story forward organically would have helped . Classic case of what could have been and lost potentiaI . Will still lineup to watch a Hemant dhome film because of Zhimma 1 . Wish him luck.

Watched this only because of Manoj Bajpai..somebody give me back my 2 hours...the writing is the weakest link in the movie...direction and staging seems to be done like a theatre play but worse ....the dialogues were awful and reeked of second hand smoke. The acting was extremely awkward by everyone....i mean how can anyone with such a cast of acting pedigree act soool bad... I mean everyone except the pooja character where she played dead. I understand the effort that goes on in making a movie but for gods sake what a waste of resources man..such a good cast is wasted .....one of the worst whodunnit that i have ever seen ...written, acted and directed. I mean even manoj has overacted ???( watch his " who asked you to think " scene both the times)
