Fursat

Film Review: Fursat ( a short musical thriller streaming on Disney+ Hotstar) #sanjuzzreviews #Fursat #ishankhattar #vishalbhardwaj #iphone14pro Shot entirely using an iPhone14 Pro & directed by ace director Vishal Bhardwaj, Fursat is very different kind of film which might not appeal to everyone.

It is a five line story made into a film, but not using the conventional 2 dimensional approach.

Ishaan khattar plays a man obsessed with his gadget "Doordarshak" capable of seeing the future. His obsession is such that he misses his engagement on account of it. His fiance gets engaged to another man in frustration & Ishaan sees something in his Doordarshak which brings a whole new dimension to the story.

Be warned, it is a musical and there are many songs in the 30 min runtime of the film. Many of you might feel that the songs slow down the pace of the film but no, it has been presented that way by design. Ishan is brilliant & the dances have been choreographed very well to compliment the narrative perfectly. Icing on the cake is that the film has been shot in its entirety using an iPhone 14 Pro. Just brilliant!!

Worth spending 30 mins of your time to watch something different !!

... Adios 🙂!!

It was real treat to wotcha gheesa pita subject of a love story where the hero is genius dating a girl postponing their engagement but this time He is busy researcher and he sees future in his Antique Monocular Instrument !. A train is shown in desert with opera belle running alternatively with superb drone cam use. He catches the girl and asks her to post pond as Door Darshan i.e. Door Darshak and wittily DUKH DARSHAK hints they are gone be robbed in 7 Minutes !!! Fun is there as the Daku brings a Green Flag in stead of Red to stop the train !!!. But the hero has already pulled chain to stop the train. Train is robbed with all theatrical moves of dances postures positions... Now the girl is a Doctor too !! She forecasts the chief of Daku is gone have a Heart Attack !! Looking to the sweating signs !! Chief Faints and the first AID box is having a portable Defibrillator !!! You are given 7 Peg kick in 30 mins. Now every story must end with a UPDESH ... so knowing future is not worthy is classically demonstrated.!!!! VB has worked in DOOR Darshan and he pays back in his whimsy classy short adventures film. You will enjoy even more if it is with drinks. I said 7 peg kick like. It had to be an absurd but three cheers to the photography, thats why VB chooses it to be belle and not full length film !!!! One should be thankful for that + -; Only iPhone mobile can used ... This makes one of the best advertised campaign! Amazing work out put at such a profe#ional stage taking all dimensions !!

Movie is shot with Iphone, but its budget is more than a regular movies. Real achievement would have been to make an engaging thought provoking movie with very low budget too.

Its 30. Mins ling movie and full of songs and dance set pieces. Can the director please let us know why anyone would like to watch such movie. There is hardly any screenplay or story here. No dialogues or concept.

Ishan Khattar is not a good actor. He thinks growing beard, running, breathing heavily, shouting, sweating etc is acting. He should see Irfan Khan's work. His eyes used to act. Dude stop partying and learn in some acting school. Audience don't feel conmected to you.

Actress has good screen presence.

Vishal Bharwaj as a director is hugely dissapointing. Dont go for the gimmick iphone shot movie.l, its waste of time.

Well, there is nothing much to talk about except it was shot on a phone. Well done for that and 1 star for that. That's it.

Story is haphazard, screenplay is a mess, acting of male lead is irritating and nonsensical. Female lead did best what was asked from her. Would like to see her progress more in a better set up. Male lead is pain actually.

VB shot this on iphone but what about the production value of the film. It's lavish and grandeur. Just by saying it was shot on a phone doesn't convey that anyone can make a film of this opulence. Stop fooling.

VB helmed Shakespearean trilogy which is reverred till today. This one is just a waste.

When you hire someone like Vishal Bharadwaj to endorse your newest tech, you will receive so much more than just a promotional piece to sell your products, as is evident in this example.

Fursat is a fantasy-musical drama short with a strong emphasis on presentation. Given the predetermined conditions, Mr. Bharadwaj did a fine job by keeping things clear cut.

While the story and characters provide little in the way of working material, the execution elevates the film to a level that makes it an exciting watch. In terms of pure technical specifications, the iPhone's cameras do offer admirable quality and uniformity throughout.

Now, some of you may argue that there are additional thousands of dollars' worth of rigs and post-production elements that do factor into the final result, but it's great to see that technology has come a long way, in today's world, anyone can follow their dreams with the phone in their pocket, no fancy equipment required, at least in the beginning.

P. S. Ishan, if you're reading this; do work with Mr. Bharadwaj, he will bring the best out of you just like he did with your big brother.
