So I saw this movie. What an achievement!
The first thing that hits you is Sunsilk.
You figure out that Sunsilk is the title sponsor. Correct.
You assume it's a movie about girls' tossing about their beautiful luscious hair. Incorrect.
Well you aren't entirely wrong. But there's so much more. Four girls fighting against all odds to run a radio station and emerging victorious. That seems short, standard and mundane but the movie certainly wasn't that. Rather it is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual Bollywood stuff as there is no unnecessary dragging of the story line, forced humor, gaudy glamour or overacting of any sorts. You can actually relate to the girls. Not so sure about the last part. Being is a girl is a probable prerequisite.
And the best part were the songs. The movie boasts of a classical folk song from every state of India. That's 29. Not quite the songs you would find on the regional doordarshan channels but really good stuff. Something on the lines of MTV Coke Studio but so much better. Chattisgarh was awesome! :'D
I left office early on a Friday evening to catch the red carpet premiere. So worth it!
Grab the popcorn and enjoy!
