X (2. 01. 5) - IMDb. Goofs. At the end when Amyra Dastur was taking a bath, and Emraan Hashmi came, and she looked at him, the camera moved, the Towel that she was wearing was seen at the corner, and no one will take a shower wearing a towel around his/her chest. A Death in the Gunj movie review: Konkona Sen Sharma's directorial debut is a must- watch for its brilliant cast and terrific performances. Acclaimed actress and National award winner Konkona Sen Sharma is making her directorial debut with A Death In The Gunj, based on a short story written by her father. Her mother, Aparna Sen, is one of the finest directors in Indian cinema. Will daughter Konkona make her proud? Read our review to find out. They are also occasionally joined by their close family friends like just- employed Brian (Jim Sarbh) and the just- married Vikram (Ranvir Shorey), who is still having a clandestine affair with Mimi. Shutu is the runt of the litter, bullied by nearly everyone in the clan, and it is through him we see how Bakshis are not a perfectly knit family. What’s hot. Add one more name to the rare breed of talented female filmmakers. For her first film, Konkona Sen Sharma is a very confident director. A Death in the Gunj doesn’t feel like a movie made by a first- timer, especially with the complex family dynamics and surreal themes. There are influences of her mother’s work in her directing style, as well as that of Satyajit Ray and even Quentin Tarantino (the first scene in ADITG reminded me of that iconic scene in Jackie Brown). I love the way Konkona drew the family dynamics here, making it quite relatable. I was at a point pissed off with characters shifting from English to Hindi to Bengali when they talk, but then I realised that how even I end up talking with my cousins in the same manner (only Bengali replaced with Malayalam). Guest iin London Nothing works over here, the guest pop up, the jokes pop up, the neighbors pop up, sudden realizatio. Mom Sridevi is in top form in MOM and. However, the Bakshis are too hi- fi even for that era. The younger generation has no hesitation in smoking in front of their elders, who often turn a blind eye to it. Some scenes do leave a lasting impact, and shows the director’s finesse. There is a playful kabaddi match that turns into a bloody ego battle between two males. A missing child makes a happy couple play blame games, only to reconcile a minute later. A driving lesson suddenly becomes another incident of bullying. Amidst all this, there is a servant couple, who are bemused by their owners’ ideas of passing time (like playing Ouija Board) and wonder when they will leave. The women in the movie are strong and independent, but they are still heckled by the tenets of the Indian mindset. A Death in the Gunj is also empowered by a strong cast and terrific performances by everyone. But it is the wonderfully underrated Vikrant Massey, whose bullied act and puppy eyes stay with you even after the movie. Bollywood, please don’t restrict this actor to playing besties to Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor. The cinematography is fantastic, while the background score, with the Bengali influence, is haunting. What’s not. A Death in the Gunj is a festival movie, and therefore has to be viewed as such. There are times when the narrative takes its own sweet time to get to a point. Some of the actors are given a short stick when it comes to developing their characters, like Neerja fame Jim Sarbh and the late Om Puri.
Some things are left to our own conclusion, like why Shutu feels so estranged from his mother, or why Nandu and Bonnie allow Vikram to openly carry on his obsession with his cousin. A general viewer may get confounded by these scenes. What to do. Konkona Sen Sharma makes a really strong confident debut as a director with A Death in the Gunj. The movie has an eclectic cast and some terrific performances. However, the handling of the subject makes it a noir, watch which is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. Rating: 3. 0 out of 5.
