![]() Ronit Roy is still stuck in time and continues to be that father from Udaan. The actor does what one expects out of him, and the script doesn’t do much to support or enhance him because the character is written that banal. Gumraah Movie Review: Star PerformanceĪrt team, whoever thought that Aditya Roy Kapur wearing two different shirts with weird tattoos and no change in facial features or hair, will be fed to us as a double role, we need to talk.Īdd to it that Kapur tries two different talking styles at first, only to forget it mid-way and entirely brush it under the carpet during the final act. The blood here looks like a lipstick stain. ![]() Blood, if left in the air, turns brown because it has iron and air has oxygen, the reaction changes colour. Also, the art department has a lot to answer. Songs are thrown to take things ahead, but they take it nowhere. It looks like short episodes with no connect to each other. The entire narrative that jumps from one setup to another lacks the glue to bind it all supremely. There is no connect between it to the main story. Also, how doesn’t neither of the two Adityas have anyone look for them when the police has literally kidnapped them? Forget family, no family, doesn’t one of them own an entire agency? Aren’t his employees worried?Ĭredit where it’s due the final reveal portion does make for decent pulpy content but also standalone. Proofs just appear out of nowhere very easily with no efforts taken everyone is at the right place at the right time. Talking of convenience, it is the favourite word of this product that only looks for route that are easy. While this is a very convenient reason, it doesn’t serve much to the main story. A hammy, Ronit Roy, hates one of Aditya Roy Kapurs, Arjun, because he helped his daughter elope. To complicate this tale, Vardhan Ketkar with Aseem adds layers that are supremely inconsequential to the story. The following week, cops capture the murdered after a very CID level interrogation and create a mess for themselves when two looking men stand in front of them. There is an inconsequential man being murdered, a killer is dressed in the most ‘Killer’ outfit ever, and he conveniently escapes because he is very smart. Story by Magizh Thirumeni and screenplay by Aseem Arora, Gumraah is a way too simple tale of murder told even more simply only to make it pseudo-complex by the end. How often have you come across stories that reveal the killer in the first frame and then shape the entire narrative to find his motivation? Gumraah, and addition to mediocre entries in the genre, is one such movie that thinks of itself as an intelligent movie but soon entangles itself in the same plan it hatches to confuse the audience. Second Whodunit this month after Gaslight, and the genre only keeps getting some lazy addition because it is that tricky to crack. Gumraah Movie Review Out( Photo Credit – A Still From Gumraah ) Gumraah Movie Review: Script Analysis Begins the game to find out who the real killer is and how can these two men look exactly similar. if i were to mark this out of 10 i would give it a strong 8.A man is killed in his house, and the police catch the potential murderer only to realise he has an exact look-alike roaming around. they are hardly fleshed out and as a spectator i felt that at times i was watching the robin william's rebirth show, however this is a minor point. if this film was to have any criticism is in the roles of the supporting actors. a memorable scene in the film of william's characters eyes squirting blood is in stark contrast to the ordered white formica and polished chrome surfaces that intimate to the spectator a feeling of staring intently at snapshots of a desperate man's life. the directors (romanek) flair for colour synchronicity and immaculate art direction does not stray far from his beginnings as a music video director, however it is this attention to detail and precision that accentuates williams when he chooses to lose the plot. granted williams has been actively pursuing these alternative roles of late and yes it could be construed as being a cynical move on his behalf, however this does not detract from the fact that his role in photo was scarily on the mark. ![]() although he played the very questionable (and dodgy) killer in insomnia, his role in one hour photo was very near perfect in this minor gem of a film. Well it was a pleasant surprise to see williams in this type of role and succeeding.
