IHRE BEWERTUNG

A collection of three comic-dramatic stories set in Mumbai. The first is about a diligent office worker who wins the office 'Fun Committee Award', which entitles him to a whole day full of fun. He is most reluctant to leave the safety of his cubicle but he has to. Prescribed fun modules have to be completed and non-compliance is not an option... The second story begins with a domineering head-of-the-family, Anil, who is on life support. Seeking some relief, his family decides to buy a TV, which Anil had banned. Now every night the family plugs into a popular soap whose hero, Purshottam, is a man ideal in every way and they are smitten. Then suddenly, comes the news that Anil is better and may be home soon. Will they have to let Purshottam go?... The third one centers on Aarti whose repetitive existence is slowly making her more and more mechanical and numb. Deep inside ferments a disconnect and unease that she is unable to articulate to anyone. Then one day there arrives a most intimate letter and everything changes.

Not made for masses but it is a mass connected movie...worth watching.....

This is the first movie of Ruchika Oberoi and already he has been awarded some prizes. One of them is 72nd Venice International Film Festival,in that ceremony Ruchika Oberoi won the FEDORA prize for the Best Young Director. It is released many festivals in 2015 but in India it is released 2nd September 2016. it is very clear that the movie is not for the masses and the targeted audiences are only the classes. Ruchika Oberoi is a debutant director by this movie and the movie is produced by NFDC India. It is a movie of three different stories and all are from the island city "Mumbai". The theme and the structure are a little bit old but quite enjoyable.

It is a very slow movie from up to bottom and strictly not for the masses. There are three different stories, "Fun Committee", "The Ghost in the Machine", and "Contact". The second story in this movie "The Ghost in the Machine" is the most enjoyable story. It is the story of Sarita who is a housewife and her husband is in a coma. It is a very true but awkward realization that without his husband Mr. Joshi her and her family's life will be more delightful. The other two stories are not so viable and you can easily skip this. These two stories are very common and there is nothing new in that two stories.

Performance wise Vinay Pathak has done a very good job and Tannishtha Chatterjee has done also a fair job for their role. The direction of the movie is OK but nothing to shout about. background score is good but could have been better.

It is true that it is a movie of mass life and common people in Mumbai city but these types movie are not very appealing for the mass people and regular movie goers. It is made for only rewards and prizes but if you have a chance to watch this, You can try.
