Barah Aana

Just happened to catch the premier at the Pune International Film Festival (PIFF-2009), and not to mention the presence of the legendary Naseeruddin himself and Director Raja Menon at the ocassion.

The story of the movie is not so different than any other off-beat bollywood movie, but the direction impresses. The laughters never miss their slots. The pace of the movie is apt and well poised with the life stories of 3 men (who happen to share a room). The screenplay is intelligent and leaves an impact.

Acting wise, Vijay Raaz takes away the applauds, as Naseer strangely isn't explored at all.

Overall, surely worth a watch if you need some light hearted entertainment with a touch of class direction.
