Sulemani Keeda (2014)

My Ratings: 3.8/5.

Sulemani Keeda is the most fun film i have seen in the recent times. A film that is not afraid to explore the simple moments of life and turn them into something hilarious.

The story revolves around Dulal and Mainak, two struggling writers who share a room and their ideas; desperate to make it big in Bollywood.

Gonzo the son of some big producer, the actor waiting to get launched for the last 20 years finally hires these two fresh talents who promise to deliver some ‘out of the box’ ideas.

And then of course Dulal’s love interest Ruma adds some more twists in their lives.

sulemani-keeda-3The USP of this film is exceptionally natural acting and awesome dialogues. The writer-director Amit Masurkar has done a tremendous job, and the fresh cast of the film entirely lives up to the challenge.

Naveen Kasturia (Dulal), Mayank Tewari (Mainak), Aditi Vasudev (Ruma), even Karan Mirchandani (Gonzo) and Krishna Singh Bisht (Pokhriyal) – all have given superb performances. 

Especially the chemistry between the two lead characters, the sensitive, moody Dulal and the street smart, horny Mainak is the spine of the film. Full-on entertainment.

Sulemani Keeda though apparently seems to be a light hearted comedy has also dared to touch a few very sensitive subjects. For example the ability to compromise with your ethics in the professional struggle; then the iconic disturbance in friendship when a girl comes along; and also the realization that loving someone doesn’t always mean being together with that person.

Perfect use of music by Arfaaz Kagalwala and Anurag Shanker, decent  editing by Khushboo Agarwal and cool camera work by Surjodeep Ghosh. Great teamwork.

In the midst of dirty poetry and some adult jokes, lots of flirting and friendly galis (slangs) Sulemani Keeda comes out as a winner.

A so called ‘indie’ film which fortunately has a genuine sense of humor and doesn’t throw cheap slapstick jokes at you in the name of comedy.

Go watch it.
