'Meenaxi' - Flights of Fantasy

Now for the performances. Tabu is excellent as usual. She has never looked so gorgeous before on screen. Raghuvir Yadav is good. Nadira Babbar is endearing. Newcomer Kunnal Kapoor is a real find. There is an earnestness about him and he seems to be a natural performer. This leaner and refined version of Abhishek Bachchan is very confident and carries his own despite being pitted against seasoned actors. Wonder where Husain found him? Meenaxi is not a film for the masses that has been fed an overdose of sex and sleaze in films. It is surely a film for people with an esoteric taste. M. F. Husain's film speaks a completely different language and is worth watching for its visuals, rich hues and colours. It is a Husain painting coming to life on screen but the run of this film at the box-office seems doubtful.
