Ship Of Theseus (2012) :
Brief Review -
Ship Of Theseus and Tumbbad- Anand Gandhi raising the Bar of Indian Cinema beyond Hollywood. Ship Of Theseus is PURE CLASS! INDEED A WORLD CINEMA MASTERPIECE! Fortunately both the films of Anand Gandhi came in watchlist and unfortunately i couldn't watch any of them in Theatre. Well it doesn't matter now because both the films have left huge impact on me and how, undoubtedly highest for any bollywood films in the last decade. I have watched over 800+ Bollywood films from the last decade and here are My Top 2 Best Films of the Decade, first is Tumbbad and 2nd is Ship Of Theseus.. both coming from One Creative Genius Brain Mr. Anand Gandhi. For Tumbbad i said, A lesson not just to Hollywood but also to World Cinema that how to turn a mythological horror film into Human Masterpiece. Anyways Tumbbad was Visually stunning and very cinematic operation but Ship Of Theseus is an Artistic and Realistic Cinema scoring at it's Best. There are no dramatic moments, there's not a single shadow of something called Cinematic Liberty, everything happens so realistically, so artistically, so purely, so simply and so incredibly. Hats off to Anand Gandhi for creating this Gem of Art Cinema with human resources and intellectual thoughts from Indian Lifestyle. Ship of Theseus is a story of everyone because it explores meaning of life, death, money, identity and giving something back to the world in which we live. From cinematography to dialogues this film is like an extraordinary art exhibition. I can't believe someone did have such a vision in Bollywood to shoot a scene on Road in one take with 2 minutes of argument between 2 Highly Intellectual minds talking about Life and Death, and the second scene shot in Mumbai's Slum. Writing, Screenplay, Dialogues, Cinematography and Direction everything is Perfect and by perfect i mean they always say 'Nothing is Perfect, yes but there's always something close to Perfection'. I believe, it will take some years for Indian Cinema to produce something like this. Ship Of Theseus is a MUST WATCH for Classes, a film and an experience not to be missed at any cost. Do yourself a favour and watch this film if you want to see Indian Cinema defeating Hollywood in Realistic Intellectual Cinema. And remember the name Anand Gandhi because i am not gonna forget it anytime soon. A MASTERPIECE OF IT'S OWN KIND!
RATING - 9/10*
