Sanjay Suri in 'My Brother Nikhil' |
This is certainly a new age cinema but honestly doesn't do much to the audience emotionally. It may be true to life but somewhere it fails to make an impact. The narrative style is very boring. It may come across as unique but the bottom line is, it is a documentary film! But to give credit where it is due, the gay issue has been handled in a sensitive manner.
It also has some great performances by Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Suri, and Purab Kohli. Juhi Chawla is in great form although she looks slightly old in some sequences where she has no makeup. But we would still love to have more of her effervescence and charm lighting up the silver screen. She is the last of our talented actors left today what with the present focus being skin show and sex!
Victor Banerjee and Lillete Dubey are highly competent as usual. Gautam Kapoor looks dead and inefficient throughout except for one beach sequence. Dipannita Sharma has no scope. The rest of the cast is okay. The cinematography, music, and dialogues are adequate. Overall a very depressing film!
