David - my review

'David' is as we all know Bejoy Nambiar's second feature film after 'Shaitan' [now for those of you'l who didnt watch shaitan, plz go ahead and watch.... its something you'd remember Nambiar for]

 Now David is a story of 3 Davids, none of who's stories are well written or have any message or any relation with each other or the audience whatsoever..  However having said that, Individual performances are fab and inspite of a weak story .. Nambiar's efforts and skills are not unnoticed. 

Vikram in his role as one of the Davids is the best. Neil Nitin Mukesh's story was damn confusing and my friends found Vinay Virmani cute. Besides these main characters I found Milind Soman in a totally useless character, he hardly has any screen time .. for that matter even hardly any dialogues.  Isha Sharvani and Tabu are impressive and Lara Dutta is also there in the movie (lol).
Nassar as Father Noel and Ram Kapoor as Iqbal Ghani do justice to their characters and Saurabh Shukla as Vikram's dead dad is hilarious.

Things to watch out for: Satku Santa and a few really funny one liners

"there’s no denying Nambiar’s promise as an adventurous, aesthetically-sound filmmaker but his weak spot remains the same. His eye for dynamic visuals is yet to find its match in stories that speak."  - rediff movies

“But why can’t I marry him mom???” shouted Mary as loud as she could..

“Because he is not from our cast!!” replied mom trying to match the volume levels

“But he is a nice guy!!”

“How can he be a nice guy when he is not from our cast???”

“Huh??”

“Don’t you know Samantha?? That chick from the next building?? She ran away with sum burger!! 2 months later we came to know, that guy was drinking milk at home as well as having milkshake with someone else”.

“But mom all men are not same!!”

“Oh yes that’s true!! The other guy who married Janice went abroad to work; it’s more than 5 years now he is not back. They say he works less on the office table and more on Lori, his boss” pointed out mom wisely.

“But meet him atleast once!!!”

____________________________________________________________________

“Meet him once??” replied Sonia’s dad in anger!! “That guy is so poor that if I call a ‘poor man’ poor in front of him, the ‘poor man’ will feel bad”

“But dad he loves me, I’l adjust!” cried Sonia

“Love!!!! What do you kids know about love!??” yelled fuming dad, “As though we never loved.. Our Love was fucking? And your fucking is love?? Wah!!”

“Dad!! It’s not that way ” Sonia was in tears, “please understand a job is a job.. And then he is a good cleaner he might get promotion soon”

“Yeah?  ... and what will he become then?? Head Cleaner of his department??”

“Is that all matters?”

“Oh yes it does matter   ! You need to be a M.S. Payal, or my family will not accept you”

 “But Bhavesh! I can’t do it .. I’ve already screwed the entrance test… even if I get through I don’t think ill manage to get a seat in your institute and if that doesn’t happen, what’s the point of doing M.S. We won’t even be able to tell your parents we met at the same insti  … and anyways I am pretty bad at studies you know na… ”

“Yes I know, but my folks want M.S. what can I do?”

“When I was in the 5^th standard.  I joined tuitions; that sir they said was awesome and had many students..  after 2 yrs I was still in the 5^th and that guy had no students….  then next year he said he’l pay me if I stop coming for tuitions  … you know this na Bhavesh? Still you want me to do MS? ”

“But baby I can’t help it. My great grandfathers father once cheated in the exams in his school days… he was caught and punished… not only that, later some locals caught him like a rat and tattooed his hand  -  ‘mera baap nahi, mein cheater hoon ’ … from that day onwards he pledged on his pet cat Jammuna  that everyone in his family would study and get big degrees  without cheating”

“I donno what to say ” Sighed Payal

“Means?”, Tasneem was confused!

“Means I just donno what to say sweety”, mom sounded worried.

“But why mom? What is the problem If I like him??”

“That guy! .. um .. I mean .. he is so not meant for you .. Infact he is so not meant for anyone ”

“just because hes dark?”

“No darling he is not only dark! He is scary! … the way he looks people is as if hes doing them a favor by letting them breathe – that killer stare, and then his jet black color, huge built, those such  big rapist-like-eyes that can make a chick piss in her pants if she is alone and sees him in the dark….
