Bandra West Pictures’ ‘Bara Aana’ comes out for the cinegoers. Raja Menon’s directed venture is a comey and stars Naseruddin Shah, Vijay Raaz ,Arjun Mathur, Violante Placido, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Benjamin Gilani, Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal and Jayati Bhatia.
It is a comic thriller, which narrates the tale of three unlikely friends comprising of a stubborn but dependable driver Shuklaji (Naseeruddin Shah), a mischievous watchman Yadav (Vijay Raaz), and an ambitious waiter Aman (Arjun Mathur). Yadav one day comes across a crime while being driven by an unfortunate situation. When he realizes that it is quite a low risk way to make some extra money he lures his two pals Aman and Shuklaji into it as well. But as money starts coming in all three of them start showing personality changes. Soon things start going out of hand and it all leads them individually to destinations that they had never planned.
Raja Menon attracts with his direction. He does things well on screen. The choice of actors is appealing. He makes the fun ride with aplomb. Made on a shore string budget, the film nonetheless is well made.
The script is well penned. The story is interesting and has values. Cinematography is crispy.
Naseerududin Shah, though does not utter a word, but his silence and acting through eyes and expressions is something one must talk big. Vijay Raaz is brilliant. Rest of the cast is great.
On the whole, Barah Aana is brilliantly made flick. You should watch it.
