Gold fishes are used to expound life’s big lessons since people keep on making the same mistakes you and me would make and are no good. What is interesting is that unlike in the usual Hindi movies, there is no easily readable black and white as such in this movie, it covers a lot of grey zones. Sarika and Kulbhushan Kharbanda plays other important roles.
Raima Sen plays her usual role as a guy-trap.
#Manorama six feet under review movie#
Vinay Pathak, ex-Channel V VJ has a very distinct role in the movie as the local police officer and Deol’s brother-in-law. Gul Panag(a former Miss India) is Deol’s wife in the movie, a role which she carries off with natural panache. The novel which was supposed to make him a household name ‘Manorama’, sold just 200 copies, but it plays an important role in the movie. This is the small town Rajasthan of everyday India – hot, parched, corrupt, Hinduized, politicized and middle-class.Ībhay Deol plays a PWD engineer who moonlights as an author, albeit a failed one at that. The colorful village belles and the multi-tasking singer-dancer camel herders are noticeable by their absence, so is the thakur-thakurayin duo and the big haveli where it is always the wedding or the infighting season. This is not the Rajasthan of typical Bollywood movies or tourist brochures.
Nothing is going anywhere, life languidly flows with what is at its disposal, which is to say not much. The movie is set in a Rajasthani desert town, beat up by heat and overlooked by rain clouds for years. Abhay Deol is a Deol of a different breed (after Sunny, Bobby, Esha and Papa Deol), this cousin Deol is the proverbial everyman yet handsome and talented. The movie, Singh’s first directorial venture establishes him as one of the latest breed of talented film-makers who are crawling out of the Bollywood wood-work with their original and offbeat creations. A quirky black thriller from Navdeep Singh.
