#FinalVerdict
Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare is a confused mixture of different emotions. The slow pacing also ruins the impact. Moreover, the message director Alankrita Shrivastava conveys doesn't reverberate after the screening has concluded.
With a plot like this, writer/director Alankrita Shrivastava could've done wonders. Unfortunately, Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare neither provides wholesome entertainment nor sets you thinking. The execution of the material would appeal to a tiny segment of viewers and a mandate from the aam junta will elude it.
It's difficult to single out any one sequence in particular which has a consistency. Director Alankrita Shrivastava's choice of the subject is laudable but the screenplay is dry and confusing. Also, the culmination to the story seems hurried and unjustified. Instead of beating around or taking its own sweet time to come to the point, the end should have been at least right. Charu Shree Roy's editing is below par. The film feels stretched.
Mangesh Dhakde's background score is effective in parts. Although the music is in sync with the genre, it has its limitations. The ambience of Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare (art: Tiya Tejpal) deserves special mention. John Jacob Payyapalli's camerawork is average. Shruti Mahajan's casting is perfect but the characters of Kubbra Sait, Amol Parashar, Vikrant Massey, Karan Kundrra and Aamir Bashir are underdeveloped. Konkona Sen Sharma is flawless yet again. Bhumi Pednekar is exceptional.
On the whole, director Alankrita Shrivastava is known to dabble in issues pertaining to women but she fails miserably this time in defying the rules of commercial cinema. Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare will be rejected outright!
