Barah Aana

A thoroughly watchable kaleidoscope of hovering-at-the-poverty-line bunch of Mumbai-ites who decide to snatch what they cannot seem to get by sheer hard work.

Towards this goal they decide (albeit by chance) to kidnap average Joes and demand ransom from their families. The ensemble of characters is that of a driver (Naseeruddin), a Though a highly predictable thoroughfare, the movie does have its share of laughs and twists. The run time of about 1.5 hours also helps in keeping the movie just long enough to be interesting.

Hats of to the director and the actors for pulling this off.. it’s more of a tragi-com than a plain comedy. Do watch it :)

Hi! Came here after a long time. So glad to see you blog regularly. Really glad to know you are married now. I have to read and get all the lost moments through your blog.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I watched Firaaq and this together and it made me depressed in some sort of way esp until the first half of the movie before the comic elements entered.
