The actress does one of her best acts and shows tremendous growth. 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' is Rani's film. It was funny seeing her do the singing and dancing (as it's the first time she's done that) not that she was bad or anything. Thankfully, there are enough of those to make the film somewhat worth the watch.
The scenes with her and Rani are the best. The role itself is not something particularly special, but the actress is and she definitely leaves a mark. Apart from that one scene mentioned above, Konkona is brilliant. Switzerland and Italy) in the songs were unnecessary but what would a Yashraj film be without such flooze? On the positive side, as mentioned earlier, there are two standout performances. The only songs that stand out are the first track, the song that takes place when Badki becomes Natassha and the Mujra (even though it was chopped and could have been better left as a whole). In addition to all the mess, most of the songs were horrible and should have been edited out. Was it simply that phone call to her mother that pushed her off the edge? Jaya Bachchan plays a caricature mother and this can be added to one of her worst performances. Was she simply in denial or was she just staying positive? Then in a later scene (before Rani becomes an escort call girl) we see that her neighbor-friend offers her money for help but she still decides to sleep with his boss. In the beginning we see a frantic Jaya Bachchan in the hospital when the husband's had a heart attack but Konkona's Chutki is shown to be very relaxed (as if nothing happened). Likewise the other characters are badly written.
Anupam Kher hams it up as a card-board selfish (misogynist?) dad. Why the hell was there a need to have the whole Tinnu Anand - Sushant Singh track (they're irritating)? A wooden Abhishek adds nothing interesting (another track that could have better been left out).
#Watch laaga chunari mein daag movie movie#
Pradeep Sarkar could have made one fine movie but with so many unnecessary (and irritating) characters, the bad writing (clichès etc) and lack of character development the film is hugely bought down. In spite of hearing the bad reviews, I was still considering it as I expected that in the least I'd get to see two great performances. I'd been wanting to watch 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' for a while mainly because it starred one of my favorite actresses Konkona Sen Sharma and a used-to-be favorite Rani Mukerjee (I still like her).
