First few reels gives you an impression of a documentary giving an insight into a Parsi life.
¤ Naseeruddin Shah:: We little mortals have no authority to question/ doubt/ comment on his body of work. Simply put - the act of the dreamer at its best.
¤ Saif Ali Khan: Just what the doctor ordered. Nobody could have fitted the role like "hand-in-glove" as Saif did.
¤ Dimple Kapadia: The "come-hither-passes" are neatly done, not a hint of slightest crass in it.
¤ Boman Irani: If you loved him in "Munnabhai MBBS", you will hate him in this one. The word "Pappah!" will ring in your ears. Simply put he gets into the skin of the character.
¤ Simone Singh: "Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes" act done perfectly.
¤ Honey Chayya: Man, even his performance is so very genuine that you feel pity for "Fardounjee". Pay attention to the subtle nuances.
¤ Manoj Pahwa:: Luckily doesn't go OTT but still slightly loud.
A lot of effort has been put in pre-production which is visible in the witty script, tight screenplay, camera handling, dark toned look of the movie and the way the story unfolds/ narrated.
And yes, the last 20-minutes sweeps your feet away.
Where are you hiding Homi Adajania, roll on!
