POLITICS is a game where one needs to be shrewd...cunning...practical & immoral (with some exceptions)
It provides a great recipe to interweave script around & play with characters
Inspired by real incidents & scams ..SUBHASH KAPOOR & KARAN SHARMA create this fictionalised version where splendid WRITING & fabulous CASTING are the real stars
Each character is nuanced ..seems real
Besides politics..personal relationships are finely drawn..
Based in BIHAR..in mid & late 90's ..it narrated the story of a CHIEF MINISTER BHEEMA (SOHUM SHAH) who is shot in broad daylight ..survives but cannot resume office ..
Making his illiterate wife(HUMA QURESHI) as his successor ..He ruffles a few feathers in his party creating animosity..
What follows is...how does the new CM take charge..her obstacles & quite a few dark secrets unravel ...leading to one upmanship among the party
Climax is awesome & unexpected
Screenplay is top notch with apt dialogues & humour
The twists & turns keep you hooked throughout
Editing at some places could have been better
HUMA QURESHI ...probably her best till date ...FANTASTIC
SOHUM SHAH...After THI BIG BULL ..another winning act
AMIT SIAL...is first rate..another super performance after KATHMANDU CONNECTION
SPECIAL MENTIONS : INAAMUL HAQ....PRAMOD PATHAK..AASHIQ HUSSAN..KANNAN are brilliant in their characters...
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...!!
