I have to disageee with the excellent ratings for this film. I did contemplate giving it a 7 but alas, it just didn't live up to a 7. A 6.5 would be more giving.
The biggest issue I had with this movie is that though I feel like I should feel something, I just didn't. That is emotionally, this film does not provide any. A scary scene does not make me tense or well, scared. A crying scene does not make me sad. A frightening or jarring sequence does not give out any energy. Maybe it's just me but throughout the movie, it just seem like a sequence of moving pictures with no real weight to it. I actually feel really bad that I didn't enjoy it as much as I think I should.
Nevertheless, the film was well-produced, dialogues felt appropriate, the acting sufficed, as well as the sounds and music. Also, there is an underlying theme, issue, or social commentary, specific to the Indian culture that I find interestingly portrayed. An issue that should be brought up more.
All in all, a well-produced mediocre movie with a mildly interesting story but alas, devoid of any significant emotions. Not a movie I would remember as worthwhile.
