DVD Matinee

People get fooled by the disease of acquiring stardom and this 110 minute drama talks about the harrowing story of two people who set into the world of acting & cinema.

Maqbool is fond of acting & has a girl waiting for him while Maithily is fed up of her life & drunkard father. They set out in different paths but meet up in a film produced in a manner they have no idea about. How that one single movie plays spoilsport with their lives is a wonderful tale and a grim reality nowadays in Kerala & elsewhere. The inter- connection is quite good and characterization is fantastic. Such low- budget movies hardly get any publicity but they are worth watching unlike mainstream movies.

Performance isn't great but screenplay is good. Direction is appreciable & as a whole, the cinema-experience was great. Only, the amateurism visible in almost all the factors made it look cranky. It is a definite one time watch for the story. As a critic, I thus rate it 6/10. GO FOR IT!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
