What are the odds of you deciding to watch this oddly named new Netflix release? For me it was an easy choice as Abhay Deol is in it.
What are the odds that you are going to like this movie?
Most unlikely!
It’s as improbable as watching it snow in Mumbai. FYI, in the movie you will be able to see this miracle.
I have been a great admirer of Abhay Deol’s work right since “Socha Na Tha”. Have always appreciated the choice of his roles as they have some good substance and are not traditionally ‘normal’. But that’s the problem in being ‘not normal’ as it becomes a bit difficult to distinguish from it turning into abnormal. Unfortunately, this is what has happened to this movie. In an honest attempt to make an unusual movie, it has turned out to be senseless.
Yashaswini Dayama as Vivek and Karanvir Malhotra as Ashwin have done justice to their roles but unfortunately due to poor screenplay and direction it doesn’t leave you with any impact. Abhay Deol has a very limited presence in this short movie and he suits his character but has nothing much to offer and like others his role is also not defined properly.
You will find some good moments in the movie and they give you an idea that it was a sincere effort and that’s more disappointing to know.
It’s not that you don’t appreciate a story where reasons and logics have been given less importance but in the quest to go beyond senses, the effort has gone all senseless. Most of the time the story and the characters seem very delirious and hard to appreciate and most likely you will be like – why, what, WHY?
Even though the movie has Abhay Deol associated with it, it will be an injustice to recommend anyone to go through this chaotically random experience.
