[...] few good one-liners, and pick up a few things from here and there to over-analyze (like I did with The Dirty Picture). But no, I actually thought Kahaani is good. Precarious position. I felt the same as I do when as [...]

Hi,

All reviews have missed one glaring gaffe in this movie. The song involving Balan and Hashmi is very unsouth indian. Though the song is good, it is very very alien to the
south indian in tone and tenor.

In fact, if you look at the story as a whole, the most important role had to be the one clumsily played by Tusshar Kapoor. His character’s duplicitous nature is what threw silk into here downward spiral which eventually culminated in her demise. Emran’s character though present throughout the movie, has an impact on silk when she had already crossed the threshold of redemption. The fact that such an important role, was played by such an inept actor, was the most disappointing fact of the movie for me, which by even generous standards, was just about above average and nothing more.

If you watched Milan Luthria’s Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, and are a keen observer, you would know that he just played to the galleries. The same seemed to be the outlook when I saw the promos of this latest film. I am glad I have been vindicated as the general verdict seems to be a mediocre movie with a good performance by Balan. A good performance by Balan was a given. There hasn’t been a movie in recent times where she has acted badly from what I remember.
