M cream boasts to be India's first stoner film.The film justifies this and how.Even a stone could have made a movie which was more honest and less pseudo-intellectual.
Though to a regular movie viewer some of the finer aspects of the film strike out as bold(like the farmhouse party scene where the camera just becomes a member of the party and doesn't show any of the protagonists for quite a while.)Its these little moments which make the movie bearable.
As far as the story is considered,there is practically none of it..a road trip to a mythical place is full of possibilities and character developments..but unfortunately all that we get is a hodge podge of every possible intellectual idea the makers could think of..revolution..corruption..environment èt al.
Acting wise some of the scenes are so bad that they would put a school play seem better(like the one where the police hits the protesters..one can clearly see that the sticks are not even hitting any of the actors)
A stoner movie is at least expected to have good music..except the song belle by moriarty..the rest of the soundtracks could be easily skipped)
Bottom line : Even if you get truck loads of the mythical m cream..the movie will be hard to sit through.Watch it for the beautiful hills if your hill traveling plans got canned and you have too much time to kill.
