Marjaavaan- Film Review

It's a miracle that I am alive, after watching this. A horrible mish-mash of various films, jerkily put together. Mind-numbing mix of Deewar without Amitabh (first scene and last scene), Alfred Hitchcock (telling you whodunit in the beginning scene), and a lot more, it tests your patience from beginning till end.

Probably the only original thing is the dwarf (if you ignore the Kamal Haasan role as a dwarf, that is) played by Ritesh Deshmukh. The master-stroke is to select non-actors who can't act to save their life for the lead roles. Nasser is probably the only one who can.

The story is also a hotch-potch (if the above weren't enough) of various Southern-Dons-in-Mumbai from Thalapathi to Once Upon a Time in Mumbai with a bit of Satya thrown in for good measure. Add the crappy way in which the mindless stuff is stitched together, and you have a total disaster.

Ideally, the title should have been Bheja Fry, to indicate what it might do to your brain. The songs are an assault on the senses, in case you want to know more.
