User Review
Prateik is great!! ... thats all there is...
Rating: 1/10
Not much of a story. It revolves around four persons. If you are bored
from the movies-for-non-intellectuals (viz, Dabang, TMK..), then this
one is also not for you; as it involves poor direction and lack of
soul.
The main characters: Munna (Muslim Clothes washer), Shai (banker) ,
Yasmin(Married-Muslim Girl) & Arun (Painter). I think Arun & Shai too
are Muslim. MUMBAI DIARIES is a misleading title, as it involves only
Muslims.
The Narrative is juggling all throughout with recent past & the
present. Their is an aunt in Arun's neighboring apartment who is
symbolized as Mumbai; always observing, yet non-participating.
I was kinda freaked by the Rat killing scene. It was gross and worst
part was that it was prateik doing it. I don't like cute people doing
nasty things.
All the girls who loved Prateik Babbar in 'Jaane tu ya jaane na', will
definitely like him in this movie. Actually, I went to see its
screening only for him. All the audience was so blown out by his
performance. This movie's fate at box-office is highly dependent on
Prateik's immensely intuitive acting, which has not much room for it to
get better..
It was a good idea of director, to rope in her husband in order to
promote the movie. Everyone anticipates the movie to be good & perfect
if Aamir is in it. But, I'm sure the viewers are gonna be disappointed.
If you love Prateik, go for it. But, if you seek a beautiful
performance by cast or an intelligent script then i would say a
definite no.
