Well done Abba...well done Shyam Benegal

Its a nice, light, jovial movie that portrays the serious not so good problem of corruption. I won't let out the plot just so that you get over your inertia and go and watch the movie. However, I'll say just this...the story is the usual one but the portrayal, the way the story unfolds is refreshing.

The overall look of the movie is a simple village in Hyderabad. The actors Boman Irani, Minissha Lamba, Ila Arun all have done a brilliant job with their Hyderabadi accents and pronunciations. The performances are great. Boman Irani's dialogue delivery and his timing is just incomparable. The dialogues are very witty and delivered flawlessly by the actors. There are no unnecessary songs and you never need to ask "ye movie kab khatam hogi?". The only part that was not needed at all was Sonali Kulkarni's role. I wonder how she agreed to play the part of a wife to a husband obsessed with the idea of sex. All the so-called steamy scenes are pushed in for no rhyme or reason.The movie could have surely done without her role. Ravi Kissen her husband in the movie, obviously plays his natural.

The last part(I won't give details) , the award ceremony is just hilarious. Go have a good laugh and enjoy the movie! I'd say "A must watch"!
