Barah Aana : Movie Review

Seemingly another hit given by Naseeruddin Shah, Barah Aana has hit the theaters on March 20 2009. This is the administrative debut of Raja Menon, the Ad maker along with Giulia Achilli and Raj Yerasi. The cast of the movie includes Naseeruddin Shah (who dazzled everyone with his role in A Wednesday last year), Vijay Raaz, Arjun Mathur, Tanishta Chatterjee and Violante Placido. This comedy plot drives us close to the reality of Mumbai.

Barah Aana is a mixed bag full of entertainment, comedy and drama. Shri has also worked quiet well with the tunes. Overall, it should fetch a good name to the banner Bandra West Pictures.

Barah Aana is a story of three very common people, a driver, waiter and watchman. Aman (Arjun Mathur) is a young waiter who is highly ambitious. Shukla (Naseeruddin Shah) the aged driver is considerably dependable, but stoic. The third character is the watchman, Yadav (Vijay Raaz), who is apparently a mischievous fellow. This trident lives together having bearing varied views of life. Yadav indulges into Low risk crimes and tries to entice others also for the same and gradually this trident becomes a part of the chor police game. Let’s see where the hunger for wealth drives these people.
Songs of Barah Aana given by Shri such as Aisa Kya and Hut Sala are becoming common among the youngsters.

Now, the Barah Aana crew is keeping its fingers crossed to see what its box-office collections are. Hopefully, another classic by Naseeruddin Shah, who has came to the scene after A Wednesday, is going to be a blockbuster. As of now, the theme of the movie is seemingly interesting and close to the common man. Now, it’s entirely upon the audiences how many Aanas will Barah Aana fetch from Indian market and abroad.
