I am not a fan of Nawazuddin Siddiqui. That does not imply I dont consider him a formidable actor. Its just that I can never bring myself to look forward to anything he does. Because he does the same thing over and over again. I feel the same way about Pankaj Tripathi.
Nevertheless, Babumoshai Bandookbaaz is a damn good movie with a story that i thought is stolen (inspired) from Hollywood. The character development of each is just amazing. Practically everyone has a story arc. I usually dont see that in Bollywood where only the protagonist has a story worth telling. Which brings me to the question : who was the protagonist in this movie? No one and everyone!!
Loved the setting, the cinematography, brilliant sound direction.
Coming back to the actors, some of them played their cliched roles of gangster (including nawaz), busty bitch (divya dutta), corrupt police officers but my pick was Banke Bihari. Seeing him in underwear whenever he is at his home is so relatable for people from this part of the country.
The ending was so unconventional. Not a happy ending and leaves a lot for audience to imagine depending on how they sympathized with.
Rating: 4.5/5
