Recensione di DesiBaba

I admire both SLB and AB a great deal. Both are gifted artists, however, this is not among one of their better performances. Right from the beginning, it is clear that Mr. SLB wants to position the movie for awards rather than stay true to the elements of the story that would make for a great movie (albeit a plagiarized one!). The script and direction seem a bit artificial and synthetic. For instance, I felt that the family is shown to be a Christian one to justify the opulent setting and to be able to market it better for the Oscars. There is obviously enough "dramabaji" / touchy-feely stuff to keep average Indian audience engaged and emotionally invested in the movie (no offense, just expressing my thoughts). Overall a disappointing effort from SLB and a waste of ABji's talent.
