Raincoat (2004)
6/10
Good movie but not for all
2 November 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Rituparno Ghosh gave several great Bengali films, like the recent Antarmahal,Choker Bali.etc This film was his first Hindi film, bringing together Ajay and Aishwarya who had worked in Khakee in the same year and several films like HDDCS and flops like Hum Kisise Kum Nahin(2002). This film is more on a conversation between 2 ex lovers Ajay and Aish, Ajay is shown as Manu a broke who is jobless after a lockout in a factory and asking friends for money. He comes to stay in a friend's house in Kolkata and then goes to meet Aishwarya his ex love both keep speaking to each other, in fact the film is more on their relations. Their conversation goes on throughout and in a poetic form our director goes ahead with the story. We have another character who comes in and out, Annu Kapoor who plays the landlord who tells Ajay about Aish. The film has good emotions and drama,may not suit for our Indian audiences though

Direction is superb Music is okay

Ajay Devgan as always conveys a lot through his eyes and is superb in his role, Aishwarya too forgoes all her image and gives it all to the role, Annu Kapoor is fab, rest are okay Sameer Dharmadikari and Mauli Ganguly are superb
