Raincoat

A colourful, story-based, strong performance movie. Deliberate attempts always show and falter.

Well, dont get confused by the mixed feelings depicted by first two statements. Its very clear. The story which was good for 40min has been dragged ruthlessly. Its very clear, its not a movie for the dreamy youngsters, romantic couples, comedy fed cinegoers. At the same time, it is not only for judges of national awards. Its not worth the time and money.

The dialogues mix soft humour,pun,sarcasm,pain,love,tragedy,failure. Infact, DIALOGUES is what you get if you remove Ajay Devgan, Aishwarya, 2 supporting cast and background light music/poems. Dialogues convey entire story. So much that movie didnt need the talented on-screen artists. But due to inherent dragging of the movie, dialogues drag at many points.

The build up of lies and later its continuation after each one knows the hallowness in the other's story but deceiving about self --- I summed up the story. Add love, pain, failure, helplessness, dreams, poverty, you get Raincoat movie. But I would have prefered book, instead.

Excessive reference to bathroom was un-necessary. And that analogy of "helpless life" to "locked-in-bathroom" simply does not fit! Boy, bathroom's door can be broken open ! Well, let me not continue the mistake of making the same analogy. "Only 3 characters in a house" theme reminded me of "Kaun"...Tch another bad comparision.

Ajay and Aish do well in all dept - facial expressions, dialogue delivery, body language. Anu Kapoor as land lord and __ (dont remember her name) as Bhabhi leave impressions.

The late-realisation of Bhabhi's story by the audience convey that it is not yet prepared to incoherent stuff. But the movie on the whole, falters.

Dont torture yourself going to a movie-hall, try CD if you "must".
