Dus Kahaniyaan

Very Good - that's my rating as a whole.

I would rate the stories as under (the following are categorised according to the story content, again my personal view only ...) :

To look out for :

           4 - Strangers in the night

           5 - Zahir

           6 - Lovedale

           8 - Rice Plate

           Of these, 'Rice Plate' was my personal favorite, given that its

           directorial debut of Rohit Roy. The acting and the theme was

           phenomenol.

           I would have probably put 'Gubbare' in the same league, but

           unfortunately, one senses the twist before it arrives.

Good :

           3 - Poornamashi

           9 - Gubbare

             Herein comes my moment of the movie - the kissing scene

             involving Nana Patekar. You can almost feel the tear

             trickling down your eye.

Average :

           None

Bad :

           1 - Matrimony (theme not clear)

           2 - High on the highway (the only story that has been dragged

                 unnecessarily)

           7 - Sex on the beach (again disappoints you with the climax)

           10 - Rise and Fall (briliant technically, but the story - a fuss)

Overall, the editing and background music are the highlights of the movie, with brilliant acting by everyone - ranging from the newcomer Neha Uberoi (in Lovedale) to the indispensable part of Sanjay Gupta - Sanjay Dutt.

The best venture from one of my favorite directors - Sanjay Gupta. A must watch, but only if you think you like the different !!
