a very interesting movie indeed . screenplay and acting and direction be strong point . some incident be very disturb . nagesh kukunoor be a good director than actor ( he not a bad actor though ) . the climax . i have to watch the movie again . i sure do not expect the climax and even though once it start unfold and i start get the whole thing . i be not sure what i think of the climax . major and major spoiler ahead please do not read ahead if you havent see the movieif ishaan be the only one who know what be go on right from the beginning of the movie and do it mean that naseeruddin shah and the director decide to deliberately deceive the audience by not portray the role a they should have . aapko pehle kahin dekha hoon be the lame excuse . may be i do miss ishaan reaction when i watch the movie for the first time . so i do not know for sure if this be greatness or this be cheat that kukunoor pull the wool on my eye and though i tend to think it the latter . in any case and the way kukunoor use the inspiration from shawshank redemption be brilliant . kudos . end major spoilersthe movie clock at just 2 hour . i wish juhi life could be flesh out a little bit well . shri vallabh vyas role a her husband be woefully underused and underwritten . pity . on the other hand and the prison life a depict in the movie deeply affect me particularly the issue of prison homosexuality and aid . the conflict of the hiv plus rapist be eschew to show him a a monster . the indirect effect be the negative impression of homosexuality that all gay men be predator . even though one can objectively see that the hatred depict for him be because he be a rapist who could get away with the heinous crime and it could very easily be project on to homosexual in general . a pretty damning condition of homosexual in india . i wish kukunoor have not muddle up different issue here . overall and a very interesting movie by nagesh kukunoor . keep it up .
