Movie Review - Dedh Ishqiya...
Movie: Dedh Ishqiya (Hindi)
Directed: Abhishek Chaubey

Story: Darab Farooqui
Music: Vishal Bhardwaj
Cast: Naseeruddin Shah/Madhuri Dixit/Arshad Warsi/Huma Qureshi/Vijay Raaz
Dedh Ishqiya - Bolder than the older, this movie has got gripping story, smooth screenplay, performances worth complimenting and other elements ably complementing. Shah and Arshad find their match in Madhuri and Huma as partners in crime in rendering their roles without hindering loop holes. Dialogues of 'A' grade add more spice to reach the target audience. The settings and costumes truly depict the time and protrude the admirer and dame. Once again Arshad gets into the skin of the character with such an ease to please the viewers, Shah aptly competes punching above his age, Huma is pretty in her role of petty presence, Madhuri is assuring in glimpses and Vijay Raaz is Lajawaab as the Fake Nawaab. The Urdu language used for most part of the script is of high quality and seems of over quantity though sub-titles are given (which actually prove to be a distraction) and very little scope for Madhuri to showcase her dancing skills (during end credits and a fraction) seems unforgiven. Well, understandably Madhuri as Begum Para could not rise body's Para (temperature) indicating that age catches up everyone fast even if someone is matchless in the past. Nevertheless, the movie is Dedh (1.5) times worth the cost.
