7 Khoon Maaf review

Anand, Jagdish, Baldev and myself went together for the ‘7 Khoon Maaf’.

My first reaction was “what a slow but awesome movie was that!”  Yet, there were some of us who found the movie as boring as any Bhojpuri movie flooding theatres these days. Such guys like only ‘ha ha ha ha’ kind of movies were you have to just laugh voluntarily even if it’s not a comedy scene. I don’t like such movies.

Undoubtedly not only the script but also the acting from Priyanka Chopra, Irrfan Khan, Niel Nitin Mukesh and others are the strengths of the movie. Overall it is a complete package for the true and sensible movie lovers.

Some important attributes of ‘7KM’:

Most important was the acting from Priyanka Chopra. She has evolved as a class actress in this movie. We witnessed it before only in Fashion. I guess she’s gonno be a strong contender for best actress award this year.

The direction by Vishal Bharadwaj was good but not the best. The movie was a bit slower which gained the pace only in the ending. But the end was superb and classic. The Jesus plot that was created reminded me  Pyaasa (1957) directed by Guru Dutt. This was the best part of the movie which I liked

The script is written by Ruskin Bond based on his novel ‘Susanna's Seven Husbands’. Susanna is a girl who is in search of true love, a person who will love her for ever but every time she thinks she has got  it, because of her evil fate destiny refuses to say so! This goes on six times ending in brutal murder of her husbands by her. In the end she finds that everything is worthless. There after she goes in the aegis of Jesus Christ and becomes a Nun with confession of all her mistakes that she did in her life time.

The music by vishal bharadwaj himself  in the movie was relaxing. Almost all the numbers were listenable and according to the need of the story. Especially ‘oh mama’, ‘bekaraan’ and most popular ‘darling’.

This movie is definitely a once more go.
