The Worst Film Ever

Great Film overall

Don't Believe the Hype

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Well I am seeing IMDb for last 15 years and yet this is the first time I am writing review for any movie. No this movie is not that great but the current reviews do a lot of injustice. It is very enjoyable movie. It is dark but it is honest about it. I liked it. I am not sure if this is real review but I could relate to characters. I could see the darkness in the movie, quirkiness, taking me to 80s when you have only sex on your mind and it was real fun. I loved it.

Yes, you read it right! An out n out comical saga set back in the 70's and 80's. The overall feel of the film makes one rewind back in time and replenish nostalgia. A quaint film with the backdrop of the Brahman culture brings out a lot of humour, and facts spot on. A teenage boy who is set on a journey to set free himself amid-st the many conventional notions associated with his religion imbibed to him since his childhood is portrayed wonderfully. The intricate detailing which epitomize the tradition, upbringing and adventures of teens back in the 80's is something which impressed me as an audience. The journey of Naman and his friends from his home-town to a different city is shown just to the point and back is portrayed aptly. The female characters who appear in the film have done a good job, specially Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy (Ash) deserves a mention. A clever script executed with a simple approach making this a part of quality world cinema.Overall a good one hour and thirty minutes of pure comedy with a nostalgic feeling of Bangalore sums this up to be a good watch.

Quashiq Mukherjee's Brahman Nahman hilariously lampooned collegiate coming of age in 1980's Indian bourgeoisie. Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy played a highly loyal yet unrequited lover. Tanmay Dhanania and Chaitanya Varad acted as the venturesome sidekicks while recruiting Vaishwath Shankar who just wanted to fit in. Denzil Smith chaperoned the rambunctious conquest of the quiz team all-stars at the national quiz championship in Kolkata. Anula Navlekar was captivating while Subholina Sen was flirtatious to the rebellious nerd whom Shashank Arora portrayed. Ashok Mandanna depicted the nerd's orthodox yet lenient father whose factory near Bangalore University played the set for various antics. There were plenty of farcical scenes in this story of a youth society globally shrouded in conservatism and preexisting conventions.

This piece of brilliant fusion between JethroTull and Cinema has blown me away from the beginning. The script is witty yet simple and one does see originality in it. This should be a lesson to all the 'Filmmakers' of Bollywood. I highly recommend it for the acting is simple yet strong at the same time. This probably is the first time that i have heard JethroTull in a Desi movie and for that alone you should watch it. Its 1.35 hours of pure unadulterated fun with the quality of the actors diction being recognized. Set in the 80's, this classic epitomizes the culture that one strains to see today. If it were a simple boy meets girl falls in love movie, i too would have given it a 5. something, however i rate it a big 9.
