MOVIE REVIEW- Haider The Movie
Gripping- Dark- Powerful- Awesome Performances
3.5 /5 Stars
I haven't read William Shakespeare's Hamlet . However, I can just feel why it's such a famous creation of William Shakespeare
This movie leaves you spell bound, in haste and stirred inside, if not permanently shaken. And this might just be the Best Movie of Vishal Bhardwaj till date.
A movie which starts with a search of disappeared father by Haider, a well educated lad, who fights within to see his Uncle having an affair with his Mom, who is a half widow now. And the end so horrific which will ask you to close your eyes and want the movie to get over!
The movie will ask questions, and you would conveniently wish to believe that NO this is not what must be happening in Kashmir. But the drama did reveal a lot of Kashmir with a strange straight forwardness without any political correctness. This movie touch upon Youth of Kashmir- Not knowing where to Go, Politics, lust of power and an unusual Love which is at the centre of the whole plot.
The power packed performance and the directional abilities are visible almost in every scene, where the extra slow script needed the support big time.
The actors: Shahid Kapoor is reborn with this movie after the Super Sad Movies- R…Rajkumar and Phata Poster Nikhla Hero. This movie is literally made for him. After Kaminey, he has acted with all his grit in this movie. His talent graphs are like too many lows together and Peaks are just too high at times with performances in Jab We Met Kaminey and now HAIDER.
Every single actor has impressed in this Movie and with their effortless presence, they own their roles. I am not able to think if not Kay Kay Menon or Tabu who else could have done their roles. Irfan Khan is amazing with his impactful short role onscreen and his captivating voice.
Shraddha Kapoor has disappointed with her over the top acting. She has tried acting with a little more effort, and wide eyed approach. Though she has looked fair and fits in the role with a sad face and a muslim get up. Her accent too isn't as Kashmiri as she looks.
At last, the songs are strange but fits in the script superbly, and Rekha Bhardwaj's voice is a treat!
Overall, its absolutely not an entertainer- but a hard hitting story. Some of you may find it boring but at the end of the movie you wont say that the movie disappointed you.
It did not disappoint me either.
Loved this One!
Going with 3.5 Stars.
A little more could have been possible but just didn't enjoy it but got bitten by its darkness.
