Well Done Abba.................. A Must Watch


As there wasn’t real good publicity of this film, that could reveal its concept, One is blank while seeing the movie, and end up coming out from the theatre happy and delighted. Veteran Director, Shyam Benegal deserves a salute after Welcome to Sajjanpur, for making such films. Benegal has his own way of telling different but real stories with a touch of humour. Benegals films are always social issue based, but the way he puts it, is truly commendable.
Well Done Abba, is a story of Corruption in Indian Government, and how its killing the democracy in India. Booman Irani is a Driver in Mumbai, and is on one month leave, to fix his daughter, Minisha lamba’s Wedding in his village Chikatpally in Andhra Pradesh. There is sever water shortage in the village like many other villages of India, and how people are facing the crisis, is their story. This is Minisha Lamba’s best performance, so far. A role that many other actress would want to do. I’m not disclosing the secret of the films story, watch it to be on a funny ride. Shantanu Moitra’s music is indeed different as always. Its not the usual pop or bollywood, but a folk kind of music, that will surely make you fall in love with the lyrics as well. Ravi Kishen, Sonali Kulkarni have also given good shots. Ila Arun, is one whose entry on to screen every time, creates anticipation, for another rib tickling scene. A film is, well directed, scripted, enacted, good music, and finally a film thats different but will surely make you think as well make you laugh at the same time.
My verdict 4 stars
