Hindi movie

Sanjay Gupta along with his team of directors and writers has taken story telling to a new dimension. We have seen many stories being narrated within a movie before, but unlike any of them, the stories of Dus Kahaniyaan have no connection with each other. Though it’s a new style of story telling it does manage to attract your attention. The only problem is that the stories are too short. It does not give the viewer enough time to enjoy the movie. The stories end too soon thus giving very little time for the actors to leave an impact on the audience. Out of the ten stores only four are good, rest six are just about average.

The first half of the movie deals mainly with repressive sexual topics and becomes too monotonous. The only respite in the first half is given by Strangers in the Night which is quiet good. Neha Dhupia has really improved upon her acting skills. The second half is quiet good as it has stories like Rice plate (Shabana Azmi,Nasiruddin Shah), Gubbare (Nana Patekar, Rohit Roy and Anita Hassanandani) and Rise and fall(Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shety).

Shabana Azmi and Nasiruddin Shah have given wonderful performances. It’s great to watch them as they bring their character to life. Shabana Azmi portrays her character in an exceptional manner. We recommend the current generation of actors to take some acting tips from her. Her performance is the best. Inspite of the predictable story, Nana Patekar manages to leaves an impact on the audience.

Dus Kahaniyaan is a great attempt towards story telling but it fails to strike the right chord. The only problem is that it does not give its actors sufficient time to perform. Some of the stories like Zahir, Lovedale and Sex on the beach could have been avoided. If you have nothing else to do, go and watch this movie.
