Barah Anna at IFFI
20 February 2009
I was at IFFI last year. There were slew of films there. posters, banners, cut outs, etc. Barah Anna was one of those films, about which I could not read before the screening. but it was in Hindi So I just didn't think much before entering, I was alone watching this film, it started........and the way it started unfolding, man...

Let me tell you its an absolute delight to watch Vijay Raj and Naseeruddin Shah together. I was like, ****, these two people together will do what not in the film and as the film proceeded further, I was right...... I was laughing and jumping in my seat like all others in the theatre, I was choked in tears at times and, I was feeling triumphant at times, damn.. so many feelings. At times I was laughing so much, in next seat there is this old woman looking continuously at me. I was like whats wrong, this film is doing what it is meant for. I had seen enough of tragic films and this film simply took me to the lighter side. Vijay Raj has outdone himself. He is the man to be watched. Even the slum girl..I liked her. The new actor is also good. He is there in "Luck By Chance" also. Naseeruddin Shah is keeping quite but his every expression is worth thousand words. Guys if you like a real cinema,the real characters and a genuine comedy, go and watch Barah Anna and please watch it in theatres, its a film to be watched in cinema-ghar. I am happy that end of the film was not the usual cliché. I wish I can make such films some day. Where do these guys get such ideas from?? OK..now..

WATCH IT!! WATCH IT!! WATCH IT!!
