There are some movies, which you know are going to be good. Right from the time, when I first saw its trailer, I'd a feeling its gonna be good. And, it did live up to my expectations. Vishal Bhardwaj never disappoints, whether as a director or a producer, like in this one. He has even written the script, along with the director, Abhishek Chaubey. The movie is set in a village around Gorakhpur town of UP. So, all the language employed in the movie is basically the bhaiyya type Hindi and Urdu. If you're not so familiar with it, then you won't be able to understand half of the dialogues, which is the best thing in the film. It is similar to the language used in Omkara, but with addition of Urdu, since the characters portrayed are Muslims. Babban (Arshad Warsi) and Khalu Jan (Naseeruddin Shah) are petty thieves, who are caught by Mushtaq for fleeing with money. To evade him, they end up coming to their friends house, who supposedly died in a bomb blast. So, they meet his wife Krishna, played by Vidya Balan. They both fall for her, but she double traps them in kidnapping an industrialist to get money and discover the truth about her husband's death.
The casting is superb. Vidya Balan, with a never done before kind of role, is just awesome. She is very natural in her character. Arshad Warsi is what I loved in the film. His one-liners were hilarious, like "Sheikh, khud ka dekh", "Tumhara pyaar pyaar, aur mera pyaar sex" and many others throughout the movie which were catchy. Naseeruddin Shah carries off his role with ease, he does most of the talking through his expressions, thats what I love about him. He's this one guy who can convey so many things, without even saying anything. The songs were very situational and were picturised perfectly. I especially liked the video of Dil to bachcha hai. Go for it, at any cost. I'd rate it 4/5.
