I KIND of liked it. The director has done a good job. The Mumbai high-society is portrayed in this satire and they are (Not all) shown as shallow, selfish and self-centered. The average middle-class is also featured in this venture but they form a backdrop to the whims and whistles of the high-class. However in both the societies - there are normal people as well who are trying to make a difference for everyone. There are both Moral and Immoral people in both the societies who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their gains.
I had heard a lot about Konkona Sen Sharma (She being the daughter of star actress Aparna Sen) but in this movie she was just average. She walks through the movie as if in a haze, muttering her lines and with zero facial expressions. I think the casting agent should have got someone else for the role. Maybe even her flatmate Pearl (Real name Sandhya Mridul) would have been excellent for this role. She was excellent in an earlier film 'Saathiya'. She has that earthy quality which was required for this specific role as a journalist.
Strong point of the movie is its story which has tremendous support from its star cast. From the downtrodden policeman to the scheming superstar, from Konkona's flat mate to the budding actress, from the silently suffering upper class wife to the news paper editor everyone is excellent in their respective roles and provide 'character' to the role.
Madhur Bhandarkar has done a good job and paints a morbid picture of the so-called high society. I look forward to his new endeavors. I rate this feature as 6/10.
