Watched GaliGuleiyan absolutely by accident because saw Manoj Bajpayee poster - star power working here! I had no idea what I was getting into.
Soon I realised that I was in for a treat and this was not some ordinary bollywood flick. It compelled me to pause and search for the credentials. It seems young turk Dipesh Jain (seems to be an American Indian with promising work he has already churned out) is director/producer. And what a star-cast that greeted me - Ranvir Shorey, Neeraj Kabi, Shahana Goswami to name a few. There are foreign contributions in the other departments of the film too - Music, Editing and Cinematography to name a few.
It is a story of a loner, disturbed and s suffering individual who is clearly disoriented and lives in a dingy solitude. Throughout the movie the Lighting, Cinematography and Direction creates cringeworthy atmosphere making you feel as if you should just get-up and clean Khuddoos (Manoj) and his place - power of creativity and conveying exactly what is intended. Movie slows down to a halt - resonating with life that Khuddoos lives. At time you want to hit the FF button but, the detailing stops you. You are sure to miss out on the detail because the Direction and the whole package is so brilliant.
And of course the wait pays. The flip in the last five minutes is so unexpected, unassuming and deeply moving. Then you recollect the whole movie backwards and the things fit so well, so flawless and so seamless that it keeps you in awe and wonder.
Not the for the people with short attention-span and habituated of the usual masala - this ones for the patient ones who love the blandness to enjoy the last morsel!
Thanks for the treat Gali Guleiyan team.
