Dedh Ishqiya became one of those
few movies from bollywood that I thoroughly enjoyed and really had a great time
watching it – so much so that I never wanted it to end, on top of that the way
it ends is simply amazing as it kept me asking for more. I don’t remember which
movie I enjoyed the way I loved this one after “Gangs of Wasseypur(s)” barring
last year’s “The Lunchbox” which was definitely one of the best I have seen
from our part of the world. This one isn’t great but still one of the best and
a fantastic one at that – a superb entertainer and it actually has that
charming feel about it. Naseeruddin Shah is definitely the best pick of the lot
– watch out for his expressions and those awesomely expressive eyes in so many
scenes especially the very first when he lays his eyes on Begum Para (Madhuri
Dixit) the very first time, you will be in love with him in that very
particular shot. Arshad Warsi as his nephew Babban is simply out of this world
character – genuinely hilarious and he is so comfortable in that character – it’s
actually hard to tell if he is playing Babban or he actually is the way he
portrays the character. Unfortunately I was never a Madhuri Dixit fan rather I
never liked her hence had this feeling about this movie that it’s not going to
work out (Not for me at least), she is totally out of place (for me) doesn’t have
that in her to play a character like that convincingly – still I will call it
an average performance. Credit should be given to Director plus to Huma
Qureshi, Vijay Raaz and even Manoj Pahwa for those hilarious moments, it’s
simply a laugh riot thanks to their fantastic performances. I guess this movie
has to be seen multiple times to enjoy properly, I am definitely up for quite a
few viewings shortly. What I missed in this particular movie is a song like “Dil
to bachcha hai ji” as they had in its prequel – not one song to remember once
the movie is finished barring that it’s a damn good movie – not to be missed at
any cost and I will definitely give it a good 4/5 with two thumbs up recommendation.
