I have to admit that I had geared my expectations low because of the three main roles being cast with ex-models. But I just had to see Sheetal Menon do her debut role.
Bottom line is that I came away with a higher opinion of the movie than I thought I would have. I think Sheetal, though not the same type of personality as Kangana Ranaut, still has her own natural style. I never felt she was struggling to find her expression. The critical juncture is when she recognizes Inder. If she was going to break the spell, it would have been there. But it didn't happen.
I liked the locations. Like Jab We Met, Bhram was partly shot in Kangana's native state, Himachal Pradesh. And the results were equally good.
I liked the screenplay which really created a fog of mystery for the characters to feel their way through.
I liked the musical score. Both songs and background fit the mood of the movie.
I really also liked the actress who played Dev's wife. I don't know her experience level, but there was a moment when I just suddenly had the thought "I like this actress".
Milind was better than Dino. His part was well-written, and he can handle a well-written part. Dino is harder for me to swallow. He often seems miscast to me. But he was good enough to blend into the team and not drag it down.
So, after Gangster, I couldn't wait for Kangana's next. And I'm equally curious about Sheetal.
