Reason being, producer Vishal Nihalani is not new to film-making. Ditto for director Apoorva Lakhia, who has assisted some of the biggest names in Hollywood, besides being associated with the Academy Award nominated LAGAAN. Also, the film stars Abhishek Bachchan and Lara Dutta together for the first time. Besides, the promotion of the film – with rural India being highlighted in the promos – gives it a refreshingly unique look. Obviously, MUMBAI SE AAYA MERA DOST is an important film for reasons more than one. But MUMBAI SE AAYA MERA DOST is a mixed bag -- it boasts of some brilliantly executed sequences as also as some insignificant ones, which throw a spanner. Despite the best efforts of the Indian government, there still exist villages that do not have electricity. MUMBAI SE AAYA MERA DOST is the story of one such village. MUMBAI SE AAYA MERA DOST revolves around Kanji [Abhishek Bachchan] whose gift to his grand-father [television set] sparks off a power struggle, which leads to bloodshed and mayhem. The modern world takes over the lives of these villagers and the powerful begin to feel the pinch... Opting for a refreshingly different plot and setting up the drama in a village are efforts that need to be lauded. But instead of focussing on the interesting aspect of power struggle that ensues, the film run into various tracks that look completely out of place in a film like this. But let's start with the plusses first! Director Apoorva Lakhia knows the technique right. Together with cinematographer Gururaj R.J., he formulates an ambience that looks enchanting. Though a number of films have been shot in Rajasthan earlier, the visual impact of this film is stunning. Besides, Apoorva has handled a couple of sequences with flourish. Those involving the negative elements [Yashpal Sharma, Akhilendra Mishra] are the best part of the enterprise. Lara's introduction [song], Abhishek and Yashpal Sharma's first meeting, the sequence when Yashpal confronts Lara and the climax can easily be singled out. But as a writer, Apoorva doesn't get it completely right in his very first film. To start with, the character of Chunkey Pandey and the initial sequences try hard to evoke mirth, but fall flat. |
