MANOJ SHAURYA MOVIE REVIEW MOVIE
Movie is a court marshal courtroom drama. I think this film is better than A Few Good Men and in here Kay Kay leaves the screen blazing with his powerhouse performance as power drunk army legend cum tyrant. Shaurya (means valor), Samar Khan’s remake of the Broadway play A Few Good Men by Aaron Sorkin which later adapted for screen by the same title starring Tom Cruise and Demi Moore but is better remembered for histrionics shown in the climatic showdown by Jack Nicholson. This casualness speaks volumes for Team Dial 100’s commitment to their work.Brewing battle over cup of coffee Kay Kay and Rahul Bose in ShauryaĬast: Rahul Bose, Minisha Lamba, Kay Kay, In the credits, Yash Mehra is mysteriously listed as Anant Mehra instead. One of the characters in Dial 100 is the spoilt rich kid Yash Mehra who is played by Aman Gandotra, winner of the television talent show India’s Next Superstars in 2018. In such a curiously unenergetic film with so little to recommend it beyond this trio’s natural charisma, it feels pointless to launch into a deep analysis. Tanwar gets the least space of the three but manages to extract just a tad bit more out of her role than they do. The camera rarely rests on her face and seems as disengaged from her as the film is from itself. Gupta, whose moving performance in Vikas Khanna’s The Last Color (2020) is still fresh in public memory, is given little in this script on which to pin her personality and formidable talent. Bajpayee has the most screen time, and seems earnest as a troubled parent, spouse and professional, although he can do little to save Dial 100 from its complete lack of vigour. This is supposed to be a thriller, but thrills are hard to find in its running time of 1 hour and 44 minutes.Īdrift in this sea of dullness are three lovely artistes.

No ‘twist’ in the proceedings comes as a shock or a surprise. The premise of Dial 100 is not novel anyway, and what is worse, the screenplay and storytelling style are so inexorably lifeless, that the film is dead on arrival.

What happens on the writers’ and director’s watch is a different question altogether.

(Spoiler alert, unless you have seen the trailer) Nikhil later discovers that the woman on the telephone had asked for him by name. On a parallel track, he fields the tension between his wife Prerna (Sakshi Tanwar) and son Dhruv.

Early on a particular night shift, Nikhil takes a call from a distressed woman (Neena Gupta) who seems intent on ending her life. Nikhil Sood who works in the police control room that Mumbaikars reach when they – literally – dial 100 for emergencies. His standing in the industry comes from the screenplay of the iconic Rang De Basanti that he co-wrote with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, but don’t get your hopes up.ĭial 100 stars Manoj Bajpayee as Senior P.I. D’Silva made his directorial debut with Kurbaan (2009) starring Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. The new Hindi film streaming on Zee5 from today is directed by Rensil D’Silva, its story and screenplay are by D’Silva himself and the dialogues by Niranjan Kannan Iyengar.

On second thoughts, do not trouble yourself to imagine any of this – let me just tell you about Dial 100.
