DUS KAHANIYA – Hats off

Telling more than one story in one cinema. These experiments have been performed in Indian cinema long back. In Kannada, Puttanna Kanagal – an excellent director crafted movie called “Kathasangama” in which he narrated three different stories. In other hand Malayalam classic director Adoor Gopalakrishnan directed movie with four different characters from four different novels in the movie “Naalu Pennungal”.

Dus kahaniya is another different experiment from Hindi cinema. Sanjay gupta famous for his dark & intense flicks (all are based on Hollywood films.) But this is a fresh idea he materialized. In this movie we can see ten different stories, directed by different director and performed by different genre actors like Sanjay dutt, Shabana Azmi, Nasiruddin shah, Sunil shetty, Amrita Singh, Jimmy shergil, Mandira bedi, Neha, Manoj bajpai and even better-to-ignore actor Dino morea.

All stories have their different flavors, color tone and frame works. The most I enjoyed is Meghna Gulzar’s Puranmashi, Rice plate, Manoj’s story, strangers in night and matrimony. Sanjay gupta’s Rise n Fall reminds usual underworld story. But shines for its stunning camera angles. This kind of experiment is welcome for Bollywood in this stage, where all other running after super hit remakes and stereotyped love stories.

Many thanks to Meghana Gulzar for making your story so sensible and touching. Go ahead Sanjay gupta; I can’t wait for your next movie.

Marked moments: When Shabana got her bag back and realise the kindness of Nasiruddin Shah. Amrita’s expression when she made to wear her daughter’s dupatta.
