Dasvidaniya


Dasvidaniya is not a big banner film and also not have BIG NAMES of the industry. Dasvidaniya is story of a general man who leads a very mundane life. What keeps him going is his to-do-list, which is full of silly and simple things like repairing the heater etc. Dasvidaniya is starring Vinay Pathak (Amar Kaul), Ranvir Shorey (Jagtap), Rajat Kapoor (Rajiv), Neha Dhupia (Neha) and Saurabh Shukla (Boss Dasgupta). The movie is Written by Arshad Sayed. Storyline is same as "Anand" and "Kal Ho Na Ho" but director Shashant Shah presents the story in a innovative way and the performance of vinay pathak makes this movie SPLENDID!!

The story resolves around a simple, comman man Amar Kaul who is unambitious man working for a bullying boss dasgupta ( Sourabh Shukla ) and living with a mother (Sarita Joshi) who’s hard of hearing. Amar lives a dull, mundane existence. One day, He goes to doctor for check-up routine but then he finds out that he has only three months left to live. Thereafter, the simpleton draws a list of things to do before he dies thus his life changes.

Faced with death, Amar discovers life anew and transforms from a subdued and repressed person to a man who steps out to embrace and explore life and fulfill all his desires, which include taking on his snooty boss, expressing his unspoken love to his childhood sweetheart ( Neha Dhupia ), buying a colourful car, learning to play the guitar, traveling abroad, sleeping with a Russian chick, and mending a few family ties. In the first part, movie takes off very well but loses its gravity in the second half when a couple of uncalled-for deviations take the story off the course.Sarita Joshi wins your heart with her charming portrayal of a mother hooked to TV soaps. Sourabh Shukla is excellent in the role of Amar’s gluttonous boss. Rajat Kapoor is okay as Amar’s friend. Neha Dhupia is first-rate as Amar’s childhood crush.
