Release date- 2nd December 2016
One Word which describes the film- Dramatic
Best Dialogue- "Jo raaz raaz rehne the, wo aaj mujhe phir kholne honge."
Genre- Thriller
Music- Clinton Cerejo
Producer- Sujoy Ghosh, Jayantilal Gada
Story & Direction- Sujoy Ghosh
Cast- Vidya Balan, Arjun Rampal, Jugal Hansraj
Budget- 30-35 Crore approximately
Kahaani was made on a budget of 8 Crores and it earned almost 70 Crores at the box office, making it one of the super-hit films of 2012.
After 4 years we get another film of the same franchisee but this time the director has failed to recreate the same success story.
Initially, Durga Rani Singh was intended to be a standalone film starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but later the makers made it as a sequel to Kahaani, starring Vidya Balan.
I think this was the biggest mistake as Kahaani is known for its suspense which kept the audience rooted to their seats till the end. This film was made in an entirely different way with events happening one after another and till interval any person of average IQ could have guessed what was going to happen next. The predictability factor disappointed the audience and most of them came out of the theater saying that though the film is good it's no match to the original "Kahaani".
Vidya Balan is perfect for the role of Durga. Her acting is flawless. The way she expresses the anguish, disappointment, pain and anxiety is so real that she manages to keep us involved in the story till the end.
Arjun Rampal looks fit and smart. As his character supports the main character, his acting is subtle and he has managed to give a decent performance.
Jugal Hansraj makes his comeback as an actor but his acting is average and he doesn't looks very convincing in his role.
Lighting is one of the most critical aspects of a film. In most of the scenes the lighting is so less that we couldn't appreciate the beauty of the surroundings.
The film was released in 1250 screens and it managed to get an opening of just 4.5 Crores. With YRF'S Befikre occupying almost 60% screens next week, it'll be a task for the film to even make a lifetime collection of 30 Crores.
In a line, though the story is quite predictable, it can be seen for Vidya Balan's excellent acting.
Time-pass
