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.
