NH10

‪#‎NH10‬: So after Roman Polanski, it's Quentin Tarantino! The references to Kill Bill are just too difficult to ignore (starting from the general blood and gore to da distinct yellow jacket, fringe and iron rod dat replaces da 'bride's sword), especially in the climax. Although it is far less complex and not half as brilliant as Tarantino's masterpiece, as a standalone film (and as per Bollywood standards), it is a pretty well-made one(Note: it is NOT a remake of Kill Bill). Also, i luvd da fact dat the background songs stay in da background and are not as overpowering as those in Badlapur(great songs though) And of course it will be a turning point for Anushka. She gives her best performance (although she was nvr really known for her acting!) till date. But jokes apart, she is good! So much so, dat in certain frames u can actually ignore her bee-stung lips! N why Deepti Naval? Ah because the role was tailor-made for Supriya Pathak n she wld hav been too predictable taken away the twist (n thus ruined it for da uncle sitting next to me, who declared that since Deepti Naval is a good lady, Anushka is now safe) Its kind of ironical that in their heydays Supriya Pathak kind of followed in Deepti Naval's footsteps and now its the other way round. But just as Supriya got eclipsed by Deepti then, Supriya's shadow looms large on this one. However, wat i didn't understand is why Anushka didn't drag da injured husband to da darker part of da tunnel? She sat him where it was most illuminated (da scene sumhow reminded me of da climax of Ek Haseena Thhi where urmila similarly left a helpless Saif in a similar tunnel/dungeon to get slowly eaten by rats) and it was jst a matter of tym dat da goons wld have spotted him n killed him.
