MOVIE REVIEW: THE NAMESAKE (2007)
Published by  Webmaster  at 08:04:00 pm on March 9, 2007

The movie doesn’t insult the viewer by bludgeoning you with its message or playing anything in a way that is ever big or obvious. Instead, it slowly pulls you in and lets you discover what makes these characters for who they are, in the context of their lives.

Tabu and Irrfaan Khan were very ably cast as Ashima and Ashoke Ganguli. The chemistry between them seems natural and pure. Very beautiful. Best known as a comic actor from his roles in HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE and National Lampoon’s VAN WILDER movies, Penn acquits himself respectably enough in what’s essentially a dramatic role.

The only difference that the movie carries with the book is that, here the lady Ashima Ganguli perspective stiches the story whereas the book used Gogol as its focal point. The film is well crafted and is rich in humour. It also has the ability to make you cry. Sooni Taraporewalla, screenplay writer deserves the credit for this.

The movie does feel a little over long and more episodic than narrative. But it’s a very good film. The film has a universal appeal to it which will surpass all hurdles.

Overall, it’s a film that stays with you after you’ve seen it.

Ratings: 7/10
