Um Trapaceiro do Bem

Abhay Deol, a fine actor and there is no doubt. But there is new girl on the screen, well not new for many but at least I watched her for the first time and she is Mithila Palkar. A cool, simple, nice and a cute addition, with beautiful and simplest of acting, 10/10 for the role. A very nice weekend watch, do see.

Having viewed early reviews online, not many were positive. I recommend you watch this movie and make your own opinion.

Its different than your normal run-in-the-mill movie, its fun, smart, emotional all in one. Both Abhay Deol and Mithila Palkar take your attention, Abhay as the street smart artist (pun intended) and Mithila as the naive girl.

The movie left me thinking about my life, and may do the same for you :)

*** no spoilers *** I really liked the movie, nowadays most Bollywood movies are too dark subjects, biopics or overdramatise stories, so we need more like this soulful and lighthearted movies. Although characters need more depth story line but movie filled with basic human values , which shows there is a soft corner for every person who we think might be cruel adding to this the movie shows the society still values for good people. Mithila's action as an innocent girl is top notch and funny , Abhay deol's and Mithila's small moments of chemistry are heart touching . Overall the movies is worth a watch .

Don't be fooled by the 6.x rating, this movie is definitely a 7 or greater on every parameter! Mithila is really good as is Abhay Deol, Vijay Raj needs no recommendations. The movie is adequately paced. The plot is quirky with some really good dialogue writing. The performances, writing and direction makes it a refreshing mix to watch.

On the weaker side, It goes slow for a while, and also seems over the top at times, but overall the pace and tight storytelling compensates for that. The climax might feel a bit abrupt, but leaves a fulfilling emotion.

Highly recommended for a weekend watch with family.

A different premise. A different way of story telling. An attempt which needs to be appreciated. Very well acted & well crafted. Give it a try it definitely has its moments. Camera angles, editing, symbolism & so much more. A study material for an indie Filmaker.
