ALIA BHAT
Randeep Hooda as a Trucker
Randeep
Hooda(Mahavir Bhatti) is good in his
rustic trucker’s mannerism and an almost perfect dialect. Hailing from Haryana
undoubtedly helped Randeep Hooda achieve authenticity. But, why I say “almost”
is because, “I have spent substantial amount of time with people hailing from
that belt and can easily distinguish the variations”.
Mahavir’s want to amend his sinful past and start a new life is quite palpable in his dialogue when Veera(Alia Bhat) asks him“ek goli mein aadmi khatam ho jaata hai na?” and he replies, “Do aadmi! Jai pe chale, aur jo chalaawe”!
(Veera: Does a man die with one bullet? Mahaveer:Two persons, one who is shot, and the one who shoots!) "She almost made my eyes wet with her performance in the scene"
Aliua Bhat's groovy moves
In
the end scene, when Mahavir Bhatti realizes he has gone too far with his crimes
and there is no turning back, he is quite intense.
Though, there
is a hint of Marco Brambilla’s Hollywood movie “Excess Baggage” (1997) starring Alicia
Silverstone and Benicio Del Toro in the plot, but, the end is remarkably
different. The child abuse angle does feel like a foreign object in the film
but, Imtiaz Ali manages to pull it off convincingly.
The star of the
movie is indeed Alia Bhat. Imtiaz Ali gave layers to her character and also
managed to time its reveal perfectly, but, how plausibly Alia Bhat unwraps it
is sheer beauty. She first comes across as an impulsive and fun loving girl in
the film. Post her kidnap; she is just a fragile, withdrawn and helpless
creature.
The transition
where Alia triumphs over her fear of her captor (Randeep Hooda) is lyrical. In
the end, she is bold, fearless and rebellious and manages to liberate herself
from all her inhibitions and culminates it by confronting her abuser. She
almost made my eyes wet with her performance in the scene where she confronts
him (uncle).
She provides
authenticity to the entire plot and its sub plots. Her child like candour
provides that much needed credibility to the story as a whole. Alia Bhat is
indeed a fine actress!
Her
groovy dance moves on techno track “Wanna mash up” is breathe taking, in a
non-sexual way of course! Alia Bhat is raw and can be moulded according to her
character and is unquestionably a director’s delight. I
bet, Alia Bhat is going to be one of the finest actors in coming years.
