Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa

It is a dark comedy movie about the life of a sniffer Nawazuddin has done its best the movie is great to watch.

One word that can describe this film is - Beautiful. Two best things of this film are cinematography by Diego Romero & of course the direction of Buddhadev Dasgupta. Every frame is captured beautifully. The film is all about Self-exploration.

All the actors portrayed their characters in a very natural way. There are many characters who appeared only for few mins, but you'll love all the characters equally. Anwar & Lalu is one of the best Duos I've seen in films. Our favourite Farrukh Jafar is lovable. Hope to see Ananya Chatterjee & Adarsh (Character name) more in future. Highly recommending to watch this film, it'll surely not disappoint you.

Don't make any conclusion before watching this masterpiece. Certainly your eyes might be arrested by this spectacle. It's an 'Ajab' performance with outlandish 'kissa'.

Hats off.....Mr. Buddhadev Dasgupta.....true artistry

The storyline of this movie is different. The acting is also superb.

I had known that Bengali film auteur Buddhadeb Dasgupta had made a hindi language movie with Nawazuddin. But the film never released commercially, and I only got to see it a few days ago online. Despite the laurels of the filmmaker, I have to agree that the movie is uneven, rough in many parts. And yet what drew me to it was the character of Anwar. He's a small-time private detective, sent by his boss in pursuit of unfaithful wives and missing husbands. As he wanders through the streets of Kolkata, and sometimes through nondescript villages of Bihar, with his rather ridiculous coat and sunglasses, his life has none of the glamour or thrill that we associate with private detectives on screen. Instead, his investigations often lead to uncomfortable truths, about a life that he struggles to understand. He is society's quintessential misfit, comfortable only in the confines of his humble flat, with his loyal dog and a bottle of rum. His boss does not want him to get 'too involved in his cases', his clients don't want inconvenient truths, his neighbours consider him a sad excuse of a human. To escape an increasingly confusing reality, he uses his imagination to take him to the security of a childhood long past, and of young love long gone by. It is in his reveries that he gains the fortitude to survive that which is real. In his final case, he comes across a man who has given up a seemingly normal life that no longer makes sense to him. In him Anwar finds hope, of finding his own true self, bereft of the expectations of society, and the absurdities that enslave us. And in this he gives us, the viewers, a chance to think about our own lives, and the terms on which we choose to live it.
