Movie Review in 2020 It’s only right that Sanjay Mishra
It’s only right that Sanjay Mishra – a veteran of thankless
roles – plays this hopeful tragic. He turns the film into an empathetic
long-form piece about forgotten pieces and,
in turn, forgotten fragments of our childhood
A
colleague encourages Sudheer to return to work, and occupy the space vacated by
Om Puri, Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher, the latter being too busy tweeting,
he explains. Sudheer himself likens character actors to potatoes — an adaptable
vegetable that can be added to any dish.
Energised by the potential of a
score of 500, Sudheer slips on a 1970-style wig, flashy shirt, polished shoes,
and shades, and swaggers into a casting director Gulati’s (Deepak Dobriyal)
office. He is caught in bit of a time warp. Through the audition, casting, and
shooting processes, Sudheer fumbles to adjust to new method of filmmaking,,
In a finely woven thread,
Sudheer’s interaction with this daughter
and granddaughter illustrate the complexities of living with a small-time star.
However, another track about a young neighbor with a cat is superfluous. And
the climax, clearly designed to earn applause, is excessive. The screenplay
fumbles when it succumbs to clichés about dependence on alcohol.
Mishra goes from a crumpled has-been to a
tender grandfather to a puffed up side-hero without skipping a beat. Dobriyal
plays the realist ("Purane chawal se risotto banana bada mushkil ha,). Sarika Singh, as Sudheer’s daughter,
symbolises ,,the reality check for a man who has lived on the cusp of stardom
and is now standing at the precipice of obscurity.
Mehta never strays far from the
meta themes though,,, While he doffs a hat to Tun Tun, Bob Christo, and Keshto
Mukherjee among others, a host of fitting cameos make fleeting appearances too.
All the while, Mehta keeps the tone humorous, often satirical, tinged with
pathos, and always respectful…
