Being Cyrus

One of the most unusual movies I have come across. It is hard to place it in any particular category. Saif Ali Khan is great in his role as Cyrus Mistry, and the rest of the star cast is truly gifted too. The director has appropriately cast Dimple Kapadia, the great Naseeruddin Shah, Boman Irani and Simone Singh-they fit their roles to a T, and deliver memorable performances. Unexpected in places, the story takes its own life as it takes the audience through many a surprising turn. With lines such as 'Life is like a game of chess, once it is over, the king and the pawn go back into the same box', the script has been well crafted, peppered with a lot of wit and dark humor.

One of the few English films in India with a mainstream star cast. I hope the first of many more to come! Indian cinema has come a long way, and I hope we will continue to see movies such as this in future.

Bottomline: Go watch it!
