Cutting Chai with Bhawana Somaaya - Day 89

Beware of long braid women...
19.04.2013, Mumbai

Bharadwaj - Kapoor produced aur Kannan Iyer directed - Ek Thi Daayan – ek jadugar ki kahani hai.

Har raat – jadugar Bobo – yaane Emraan Hashmi - magic shows karta hai – aur har raat - unhe show ke dauran – kuch anubhuti hoti hai.


Bobo samajhta hai wo apni bachpan ki yaadon se pareshan hai – isliye naye sahare ke saath -nayi zindagi banata hai.

Magar aisa hota nahi – jadu ki duniya ke saath saath – Bobo ki duniya mein - ek aur bhayanak duniya shamil ho jaati hai.

Ek Thi Daayan – abtak ki saari horror filmon se alag hai. Film ki imageries aur unhe pesh karne ka tarika stereotypes ko todti hai.

Film technically superior hai. Har department –sound/editing/ cinematography subject ke rhythm mein hai!

Film ka music /lyrics /song situations/ even writing bilkul hi natural hai.

Film ki kuch baate pareshan bhi karti hai - jaise subject andh-vishwas ke khilaf hote hue bhi – hypnosis -jadu tona ke references se superstition ko badhava deti hai.

Film thodi sexist bhi hai – jaise Daayan hamesha burri hoti hai – magar male Daayan - yaane Pishach – ache bhi hote hai!

Research mein kuch inconsistencies hain– kuch sawalon ke jawab nahi milte - aur climax samasya ko resolve nahi karta!

Ek Thi Daayan superbly packaged/ presented/ performed hai magar bohat darawni bhi – film akele - aur raat ko bilkul na dekhiyega!!

Ek aur baat – lift mein mat jayega – jao toh 666 mat dabaiyega aur lambi chotti wali ladkiyon se door rahiyega!

Ek Thi Daayan ko Big Entertainment Ratings milte hai 3 stars.
