Dasvidaniya (2008)
6/10
A good movie... could have been better
24 November 2008
Dasvidaniya seems to be a good movie. Vinay Pathak once again proves that he is one of the best actors around. He comes up with another ace performance after Bheja fry but the problem that I felt with this movie was that when our movies show someone as a simpleton..... he is portrayed to be a complete fool. I also feel that the emotional Quotient of this film was pretty low. Instead of being treated as a comedy drama, this should have been made as a complete emotional flick. The scene with his brother was the show stealer. The script gave a feeling of Deja Vu, a simpleton, who is suppressed by everyone learns he is about to die and decides to live life and leaves everyone wet and gloomy when he dies. However all things aside, I feel although this is a good movie a better movie could have been made out of the script.

The good thing is that now we have a separate group of actors who by looks are not actor material but are way better than most of our chocolate boys, and scripts are being written especially for them. A lot of really good actors have been wasted in the past just because they were not chocolaty. Bollywood is learning fast from its big brother.
