GULABO SITABO movie review
GULABO SITABO movie is the story of the rivalry between a tenant and a landlord. The story is promising and novel. We have read and seen films about the horrors faced by tenants. But landlords being unfairly harassed is also a reality, and this is a rare film to focus on that aspect. Dialogues are conversational and simple, with a few of them being quite sharp and witty.
Shoojit Sircar's direction is decent. On the positive side, he captures the essence of Lucknow beautifully. On the big screen, experiencing it would have been interesting. He also extracts great performances from his actors. On the flip side, the humour is missing, and it would have made a lot of difference.
Though the film keeps one glued, one does miss something exciting or even funny happening with the characters. The twist in the tale is definitely unpredictable, and though it’s not entirely unconvincing, it ends the film on a great note.
Amitabh Bachchan delivers a smashing performance. His make-up is spot-on and the manner in which he gets totally into the skin of his character is seen to be believed. He makes an impact just through his expressions. In this regard, two scenes that really stand out are when he wakes up on the road and when he looks inquisitively as Vijay Raaz inspects the mansion. Ayushmann Khurrana has also portrayed his role with aplomb.
Nice
