Dolly Kitty and Those Twinkling Stars

#MovieReview #DollyKittyAurAurWohChamakteSitare #Netflix #KonkanaSen #BhumiPednekar

How we missed you Konkana! Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare does not rise to the levels of Alankrista Shrivastava's previous works like Made in Heaven or Lipstick Under My Burkha but is watchable due to the compelling lead performances by Konkana and a terrific Bhumi Pednekar.

In trying to stuff multiple agendas like love, virginity, Indians' repressed sexuality, midlife crises and even gender identity, the movie becomes disjointed and tedious in parts.

However, Konkana revels in a triumphant return to mainstream cinema after a hiatus. In Radha aka 'Dolly', she lives the character of a dissatisfied middle-aged woman, unhappy in her job, sex life and of having not lived life to its fullest.

Vikrant Massey and Aamir Bashir do a commendable job in their supporting roles while Amol Parashar reduces to a boytoy stereotype.

Watch it if, like me, you have grown up enthralled by Konkana's clutch performances. Set your expectations right and you wont be disappointed

2 stars because the actors have potential but the story or the lack of it makes for a boring watch.

What is the director trying to tell? Is there a story? No Is there a moral? No Is there a character arc? Yes but shifts happen pointlessly

And the movie has so many self contradictory points with equal rights for women. Storytellers were so confused about what they wanted to tell that they decided to make a khichadi of all issues.

Director Alankrita Shrivastava is back with yet another women-centric entertainer after Lipstick Under My Burkha. But this time she missed the opportunity and failed to deliver an amusing film. The potential star cast is completely wasted due to the bad script.

Direction 2.5/5 Acting 2.5/5 Music 1.5/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 1.5/5

Complete waste of talented actors films want to tell so much but don't convey anything at last too many plots and no result
