Chopsticks

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.

This small movie on Netflix, made my Sunday. It stars Abhay Deol, Mithila Palkar and Vijay Raaz. It's about a small town girl, working in Mumbai, whose car gets stolen. That's when she meets the con man played by Abhay Deol. Vijay Raaz plays the bhaai, who has a goat. The movie is breezy. You can relate to the girl and her office trouble. Abhay Deol is a treat to watch in his white shirt and blue denim. He needs to be more on the screens. So understated. So brilliant. Ofcourse Mithila Palkar fitted the role of Nirma perfectly. This movie will make you smile at the end of it. If for nothing, watch it for Abhay Deol. I watched it yesterday, which was a Sunday. It was a perfect weekend movie. I promise you won't regret it. You will walk away with a smile.

A simple concept with brilliant performance. Being a fan of Abhay Deol I might sound biased but he was as usual good at whatever he did. Good time passing movie.

I remember when Abhay Deol was doing movies like DevD, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye, Manorama 6ft Under, Socha Na Tha, there wasn't much space in Bollywood for movies like those as it was a gamble. He never got to be the most successful commercially, but whenever there would be a talk of bringing about change in Bollywood from masala musical movies to artistic thought provoking cinema or dark or satirical; Abhay Deol for me would be the name at the top. Sure Nawazuddin Siddiqui is mostly mentioned when talking about this changing genre of films along with Anurag Kashyap which is ofcourse true. But Abhay Deol was the first guy to start taking those risks especially considering he belongs to one of the top n most successful families i.e. Deol Family. Happy to see Abhay Deol back on screen with a lot more platforms to perform with online streaming playforms. What i mean is Abhay Deol indeed is truly an "ARTIST"

*** 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 .
