Dasvidaniya Movie

Director : Shashant ShahMusic : Kailash KherLyrics : Kailash KherStarring : Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey, Rajat Kapoor
and Neha Dhupia
Dasvidaniya Movie Review:Vinay Pathak is peeling off layer after layer to reveal the talent he is. Frankly, I expected a
typecast performance from him but the man completely blew me away with his picture perfect characterization of Amar
Kaul. There's not a flaw you can detect in this standout act, which deserves a standing ovation. Take a bow, Sir. In fact,
every character in DASVIDANIYA fits the script to the 'T'. Be it the boss Saurabh Shukla, his mother Sarita Joshi, his
brother Gaurav Gera, his guitar teacher Joy Fernandes, his best friend Rajat Kapoor, the car sales woman Purbi Joshi,
or his first and only love Neha Dhupia. They all combine to lend meaning to this movie, which has a story that will
connect with every human being.
It's a marvelous movie, which takes you on a journey of self. A roller coaster of emotions. Every moment matches the
mood. The office decor, the house where he lives, with its middleclass look, Rajat's posh bungalow in Russia or even
Neha's stylish home. The detailing is in sync. Music by Kailash Kher leaves a lasting impression. Check out 'Alvida' and
'Meri Maa'
What's more important, much after the movie is over; you play some parts in your head and then realize that director
Shashant Shah has smartly linked some scenes, which, when you see at first, have no meaning. But when seen in
retrospect, you marvel at the genius of Shah. Take the first scene for instance, where Rajat is handing over a parcel to a
Russian girl or the scene where Amar comes across a fuming customer when he is buying a car. Their eyes lock,
recognition flickers but it's only later you learn who the person actually was.
Amar is leading a mundane life. He is dutifully taking care of his mother who has a hearing problem and topmost is his 'to
do' list which he faithfully fills every morning. A timid fellow, he accepts without murmur whatever life offers. He is not
able to voice his feelings or opinions and hence is bullied by his boss. But life deals him a severe blow when he learns he
is dying of cancer and has only three months to live.
