No Smoking - Notepad

posted in Hindi Movies, Movie Notes, meetu |

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Quick Review

It is fascinating to go to a movie and not see a story but the picturization of an idea. The visualization then is just a starting point for the audience’s imagination. My suggestion - don’t look for a linear description of events, look for how this idea, this concept takes shape.

Rating: Watch for sure - preferably in theatre (Rating Scale)

Plot Summary

What if a guy is so obsessed with his smoking that he just can’t get over the obsession, let alone the smoking?

What worked

The sunset and movement of clouds was awesome.
Brandless cigarettes!
The fade out of the jazz music while K is talking to his wife.
Ranvir Shorey’s crossed eyes!
The breaking of the car windshield.
The special effect of humans turning into flames

What didn’t

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

What can one say when the whole movie is a figment of somebody’s imagination. Everything is a continuity jerk. Or nothing is.
