Being Cyrus

Warped!

The performances: Boman Irani, Simone Singh, and Honey Chhaya are just brilliant. Naseeruddin Shah looks doped throughout the film.

Saif is good. He's underplayed his character but at times he makes the film seem too abstract.

Dimple goes over the top in some scenes. Otherwise she's good.

To give credit to the debutant director, he has created the typical Parsi atmosphere in the film. Don't know if credit goes to the actors but some portions have been brilliantly handled by him. Like for instance the scene between Simone and the cop in the cop station, the scene at the bone-setter as well as Saif's portions towards the end of the film.

The cinematography and background music is good. But don't even expect any box office prospects for this film. Look at it as one of those festival films.
