![]() Same goes for his onscreen ladylove, Sushmita. Except for a short burst of passion and a snappy display of anger, Jisshu hardly gets any scope to act to his potential. The only two normal characters in the scheme of things - Sushmita and Jisshu - are, again, on a short leash when it comes to displaying their acting prowess. Why put a rather normal woman among a set of rather unnerving characters, each tottering on the verge of insanity? For instance, Ritwick whiles away minutes gazing lovingly at a frozen corpse and even brushing its hair. ![]() Really? The other two stories are much gentler on your gastric juices, but the abrupt ends to all four tales kind of grate on one’s nerves, especially the constant strain on different body systems. Then comes the shocking story of a tree in love - a tree that fantasizes about Sushmita dancing and seems to have an orgasm watching her sleep on a bench under it. A little tweaking with his done-to-death signature wardrobe would have made a big difference. Result: we just see Anjan Dutt French kissing his mirror image, emptying a whole can of deo on himself and even masturbating on bed, fantasizing about… yes, Anjan Dutt. His Bow Barracks-black-shades-suede-shoes-summer-coat identity hangs heavily in the air all through his act. But, somehow, he fails to become the character. The film starts on a rather good note, with Anjan Dutt playing a hyper-narcissistic loner to perfection. ![]() The rest of it just hovers a few feet above the average head-line in the theatre, bounces off the nirbaak walls and fades into silence. It boasts of some excellent camerawork, crisp editing, good background score, fine samples of acting, two decent stories and a truly beautiful sutradhaar (Sushmita). How can someone brew up such a heady concoction of unbridled imagination and unbelievable tales and dish it out to an unsuspecting audience? Not fair. It’s a medley of four tales of silent love, involving one woman (Sushmita), three men (Anjan, Jisshu and Ritwick), a tree and a dog Nirbaak has some great camerawork and the background score, too, doesn’t meddle with the visuals and a tribute to Salvador Dali! Don’t believe it? Go, watch the film. ![]()
