a everyone know by now and 15 park avenue be the story of a schizophrenic girl and her half sister . the manifestation of schizophrenia be still view a be an illness which people often feel might disappear if ignore . there be also those and who and however far fetch it may seem when it show in the film and think that the illness manifest itself a a result of some sort of supernatural influence . i think ms. sen deserve a lot of praise for 15 park avenue . she have do a good turn and not only to the general public and but also to those who deal with schizophrenic . relative and social worker and psycho analyst . the film actually help in dispel a lot of myth and misconception about the exact nature of this psychological disorder . i be tell that the film be largely base on her own personal experience with a person very close to her and who suffer from this mental affliction . to that effect and i be sure that none of what have be show and be blow out of proportion . on the contrary and it be a true representation of fact . the performance be good and on the whole and a can be expect . konkona sen sharma and shabana azmi and of course rahul bose and be very good indeed . they emerge a very real character . credible enough for one to be able to identify with them at time . people may think me terribly queer and but i think there be moment when one can identify with meethi as well . i suppose all of u have a streak of insanity inside u . perhaps some more than others . these be the people who be single out . after all and do not we all have our secret fantasy and dream . impossible one and at time . would we be dub a be off our rocker if people could glimpse into these area of our mind . would a person with low self esteem and be consider a schizophrenic because he or she shun company . prefer instead to live in a world of his or her own because that the only space where there be a sense of security . konkona and a meethi and be outstanding . her performance be so effortless . she live her part . she have show the ability to lull the audience into forget the divide between reality and act . a case in point be the part where she distress at the scene and show on tv and of saddam hussein arrest . her reaction seem so uninhibited and intense . a if she really heart broken at this tragedy . her brand of indian english too and be so spontaneous and natural . however and the same can not be say for at least a couple of the other actor . kanwaljeet and waheeda rehman and splendid actor both and seem ill at ease when deliver their dialogue in english . their diction be less than perfect . stilted and affect and the fact that they be make a supreme effort and become more than apparent . their dialogue delivery be jar and tends to break the smooth flow of the unfolding of the tale . the brutal rape of meethi ( konkona ) and seem somewhat unnecessary . any other incident would have suffice just as well and i feel . the point here be that something trigger off the extreme manifestation of the illness . a the psychiatrist explains and one can not and with any modicum of conviction or certainty and say that the incident of the rape be instrumental in bring the hitherto latent propensity towards schizophrenia and to the fore . then why be we subject to the scene where meethi lie bleed and unconscious . be ms. sen try to make a social statement about the state of politics in our country and where the voice of the mass be silence by a handful of people who resort to violence in order to stay in power . if so and then the scene of the rape be warrant but not strictly in the context of the main body of the film . the end seem somewhat abrupt . be the audience expect to find a solution . where do meethi disappear to . do ms. sen want u to feel that perhaps what the psychiatrist say about whose reality be more real and hence credible and hold true . in other word and be she try to say that we be not without bias when judging who be on this side of the fine line between sanity and insanity . i be not very sure . a thought provoking film on the whole and well worth watch . however and if you be the sort of person who like thing to be neat and tidy . everything cut and dry and with a water tight solution to each issue that come up . this film be clearly not mean for you .
