Crap

Not everyone will like the movie. The movie was brilliant and will be something I'll be watching many a time in the future as well

Some of my friends also didn't like the movie and I think the reason why any body wouldn't like this movie is simply because they don't get it. I mean, yes you enjoy the movie, laugh at the situations, feel weirdly happy or affectionate if you are a Delhiite, but basically dont get what's the point of it all!

I think that's because one doesn't easily get the film because it is not an easy film where everything is given to the audience on a platter- instead they have to fill up the gaps themselves. One recurring theme is that of differences in the class and the want to be a part of the "gentry" (lol ;); then again it is not a typical con movie per se... even superior to movies like Catch Me If you Can, too different from Bunty aur Babli, which also dealt with the same class aspirations but in such an innocent manner that it was hard to take it seriously.

Whereas you don't feel bad for many con men in the movies because they are glamourised, you do feel bad for Lucky coz you understand that he is basically on his own surrounded by people who will either shun him (his family) or take advantage of him... either disguised as patronising patriarchal affection (gogi bhai); with no amount of self-respect and openly using him (bangali); or again patronising affection- this time as a sophisticated elder brother (Handa).

I rate it 9. And you cant really compare it to Khosla ka Ghosla... whereas that film also showed Delhi in its real self- the plot was a total fantasy- what Dibakar Banerji himself called a payoff.

I also found that those who didn't like the movie are all generally people who haven't seen; or haven't seen and liked anything apart from Bollywood masala films where everything is familiar and you derive comfort from that familiarity... where you watch a movie because you know the star, understand the inside of it, production values (though admittedly important) are more important than plot sense etc.

I know I just took a very broad sweeping generalisation... hey but they are accurate sometimes and its much more easier than to actually think mre over this. After all stereotypes are there for a reason... they make the job of classifyibg people easy for you. And I stopped making sense.
Well, enough said.

Even i think that the movie is a masterpiece. acting by abhay deol is excellent and the other actors also fully justify their characters.songs are also very good.
And yes, great movies like Zakhm,Lakshya,Swades weren't well received by audiences ,but they are all-time great movies.If Indian audiences cant judge a good movie,its their fault, not the movie's.

This movie does leave a lot unresolved, and while it's OK to leave something for the audience to fill in, just how much is a matter of argument.

What happened to his girlfriend? Did he get married? Did he really let his best friend get away with betrayal? What about the vet?

This is not a tv serial but a movie. even if there may be a sequel, it's not fair to leave the audience wondering about so many things which had focus for a large part of the movie.
