What is it about?
Depicting a late 70’s Bombay, this is the story of a guy who discovers his talent for Carom at an early age, and how it guides his life.
Set against a slum background, amidst the gambling and crime, we watch a kid grow up, discover his path to joy, lose it, and how his life leads him back to it.
The story revolves around this honest lad and the problems he faces all thanks to the evil slumlord, and along the way there are a couple of love angles, a sister-brother relationship and a childhood friend’s bad influence thrown in.
How Was It?
Striking in every wrong way possible, the movie if shorter could have passed off for an amateur’s attempt at an art film.
The only saving grace being the music and Siddharth’s awesome performance, the movie is incoherent and leaves us wondering why they waited till the second half for the good songs!
Replete with supposedly catchy dialogues and the viewer being told to time shift from 1977 to 1992 (Remember the Riots?) to the 1980’s, it’s a confounding screenplay.
Bottom-line, a disappointing Yorker, or wait, wasn’t it Striker?
