Manmarziyan is Kashyap's Moun Ragam (Film Review)

Image
Film: Manmarziyan ; Starring Abhishek Bachchan, Tapsee Pannu, Vicky Kushal; Directed by Anurag Kashyap; Rating: **** (4 and a half stars) Imagine if Mani Ratnam had sex in his mind for Moun Ragam. Yes, the same story that Sanjay Leela Bhansali made into Huma Dil Chuke Sanam about a marriage of inconvenience where the kind patient husband desists from consummating the marriage until the wife comes out of her earlier relationship. Imagine if the wife can't come out of her stuporous obsession with her first love because, hell, the sex with Vicky(Kaushal) is toooooo good. The girlfriend-wife is played by Tapsee Pannu who seems to get more confident with every film. Her Rumi is no walkover for sure. Nor is it someone you would want as your wife, or your son's wife or even as son's friend's wife. She is an unabashed epicurean...and the fact that Tapsee can play this super-annoying selfish woman without making us cringe is in equal measures a triumph of writing...
