Anubhav-Not a pleasant experience to undergo

The story goes like this, Anubhav (Sanjay Suri), Antara (Shruthi Seth) and Aadi (Anoop Menon) are products of the Bombay theatre academy who nurture big Bollywood dreams. But reality soon dawns upon them that those dreams are not to easy to fulfill.

Anubhav during his struggling mission encounters Meera (Gul Panag) who excitedly declares that she is his fan. Both fall in love with each other and get married much to Meera’s rich parents’ wishes.

The theatre guru Ibrahim Vakil (Jackie Shroff) now becomes their sole patron. The film starring Anubhav in the main lead gets stuck midway owing to an untimely demise of their producer.

The basic premise of the film is really interesting since its topical and such things do happen in present times in Bollywood. But once the situations are established and Anubhav turns a male prostitute, the film losses its way.

You also stop caring much about the characters and simply can’t relate to them. Then there is this melodramatic angle forcibly thrown in about Anubhav’s new born daughter’s illness and how Gul Panag thinking their daughter is dead. Some of the dialogues narrated by Sanjay Suri are simply cringe worthy. Agreed the film may be inspired from real life sequences but why be so direct? Was it that important.

Aadesh Srivastava’s music is plain ordinary. Amongst the actors only Gul Panag delivers while Sanjay Suri with his limited set of expressions just doesn’t. Jackie Shroff is simply wasted whereas Shruti Seth, Raj Zutshi and Sudha Chandran hardly have meat in their roles. Anoop Menon is fair.

Having suffered this Anubhav we would like to tell you that it is not really a pleasant experience to under go. Think before you watch the film.
