GENRE:
Sci-Fi drama
PLOT:
The film revolves around a naughty girl Chunni(Shweta Prasad) and a Palace where Makdee(Shabana Azmi), a witch lives. History has it that any person who went inside the palace never returned in the human form, but was transformed in to an animal by the witch. Chunni is a notorious girl of the village famous for her pranks. She has a twin sister Munni and she uses her identity to get out of trouble everytime. This idea backfires as Munni is mistaken for Chunni and is chased down into the palace of Makdee.What happens next is a tale worth watching for all those who want to see the duel between the cruel witch and the clever Chunni.
TEAM AND PERFORMANCE:
Definitely chills will run down the spine for those who believe in witches n all owing to the fantastic performance by Shabana Azmi. Shweta Prasad has performed her best in this National award winning role. Aalap Majgaonkar as Mughal-e-azam is totally fun to watch too. Even Dayashankar Pandey as masterji, a rational minded professor is heart warming to watch. Makaranad Deshpande is the pick of the lot with his acting being his best ever. Overall this section rules the movie.
MUSIC AND PROMOTIONS:
Only one song to remember of all. Papad wale! The songs aren't remembered. The posters for the film were superb. Star value lacked in the promotions and hence it is clearly seen in the collections
COLLECTIONS:
The film opened to a poor Rs. 10.5 lacks net and failed to go up taking the lifetime collection of the movie only to Rs. 72 lacks net only. Pretty disappointing for a film of such finesse to be a dud at the boxoffice.
USP/WHY IT SHOULD HAVE WORKED OUT:
The USP of the movie lies in the brilliant acting of the whole cast. The film should have worked because it teaches all the kids and also the grown ups to think rationally regarding such myths.
FLAWS/WHY IT DIDNT WORK OUT:
No flaws as such but people might consider it to be a film made for children. It didn't work out simply because of lack of stars and the collections were too low because of the film releasing in a big city like Mumbai in the 3rd week of its theatrical run.
WHY SHOULD YOU SEE IT:
Fun till the end. The cast and simply Makrand Deshpande and Shabana Azmi.
RATING:
4/5
