3 Deewarein has lots of minute punches that will pierce in the senses. It is a film where everything is designed to match the mood. While Ajayan Vincent's cinematography is apt, Kishore Choksi and Praveen do their best in the art department. Together, they make it sure that the atmosphere looks real throughout. The music is just used when it is required most. Editing by Sonjib Dutta is flawless.
It's the performances of actors that will engross you more into the film. The real scene-stealer is Naseeruddin Shah. He shows why he is one of India's best actors. Adding layers of emotion and subtlety to his character, he makes the audience feel for the character right from his very first scene.Juhi is outstanding as well.
But 3 Deewarein ultimately belongs to writer-director Kukunoor, who has the movie firmly under control. Tightly written and well-directed, he shows no nervousness handling a genre different from what he, or other Bollywood filmmakers, have handled before. Still, this movie will not be liked much by those who still have mindsets of 80s and 90s and who crave for crappy songs and clichéd scenes. Otherwise, if you understand what is good and enjoyable, you will definitely fall in love with 3 Deewarein.
