It is a brave decision on the part of débutante director Dibakar Banerjee to choose a subject like this one. Set in a middle class family of Delhi the movie is a remarkable achievement as far as the defining of character goes. It is impeccable. The effortless storytelling by Banerjee makes it unique and very refreshing. The characters and the treatment is so real that you feel like you know the characters. Screenplay is fantastic giving the audience a realistic view of how life in a middle class family operates. The performances are superb. The one-liners, the subtle humor is what sets this movie class apart. The helplessness of a middle aged common man in retrieving his land from the land mafia is brilliantly told. The journey of deceiving the devil is amazing. The way Banerjee has done the lighting of the film is precisely how it should be in a middle class house. The film is brilliant on all levels, writing, direction, acting, cinematography. It is a tribute to the common man of India.
