Amidst a plethora of releases this week, 'Mulk, a small budget release of Anubhav Sinha starring Rishi Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu and Ashutosh Rana in the lead roles. The movie deals with some relevant questions about humanity and gets you thinking as you leave the cinema.
With powerhouse performers like Rishi Kapoor as Murad Ali Mohammad, Taapsee as Aarti Mohammad, Ashutosh Rana as Santosh, all of them outperform each other and are absolutely impeccable. They are ably supported by an eccentric Neena Gupta as the matriarch, Prachee Pandya as Choti Tabassum, Manoj Pahwa as Bilal Mohammad, Kumud Mishra as judge and Rajat Kapoor as Danish Javed all of whom do a terrific job. In this ensemble cast, Manoj Pahwa's performance deserves a special mention. He literally outshone everyone.
The script is the real winner of Mulk. Anubhav Sinha takes a little time to build this story and has some fidgeting camerawork but then the movie recovers itself. The explosive dialogues (delivered by an even better cast) provoke you and leave an impact. The music is ordinary, the movie (except the opening scenes) is well shot and Banaras is captured well. The editing is slick and the costumes, make up is all well done. Mulk is a technically sound movie.
Mulk has an important message which is delivered with a lot of impact due to absolutely perfect storytelling and direction. Rating this movie a perfect 4 stars. It is easily one of the Top 3 movies of the year! Do not miss it.
P.S. If you want an absolutely relevant cinema for today's times, go watch Mulk! You will not be disappointed.
