Imtiaz ali- The director of tamasha, famous for his brilliant direction in jab we met, rockstar, love aaj kal and more.

Review-

Now firstly tamasha is a must see movie for any cinema lover. The direction, acting, screenplay, visuals and emotions relating the story are on the point. Without exaggerating anything tamasha delivers a gem in filmmaking. It put forward an example of how to make a brilliant movie. Talking about performances, each and every actor performed so well that you actually experience the story taking place around yourself. Ranbir kapoor as ved was brilliant, his actions, facial reactions, acting through eyes and on point expressions makes him the star of this film. This movie made me admire his acting even more. I became his fan after rockstar but his performance in tamasha was just brilliant and I liked it more than his performance in rockstar. The way he expresses pain, joy, craziness is totally brilliant. Dipika as tara was convincing. Her portrayal made me realize how every Bollywood movie should portray a female character in a movie which wholely focusses on a male protagonist. By this I don't mean that tamasha is a movie centred around a male protagonist. But the story seems to be only about ved and his realization of self worth. Sometimes it feels like Tara's character was here only to make ved realize his worth. But still tara's character stand out because of dipika's performance. The story wins when it makes you empathize about both the characters suffering from breakup. The scene where ved confronts his parents about his passion and tells a story is my absolute favourite. The direction is excellent. Tamasha is just like other imtiaz ali movies it is deep than what it seems. The story engulfs you in it from the start, and binds you more as the story progresses. The screenplay is brilliant and visuals are done perfectly. And the music, it is one of the best music albums of 2010's in my opinion. At the end of the movie you actually see the happiness in ved's and tara's eyes, and when the credit rolls the movie leaves you with shear joy, happiness and satisfaction.

Final thoughts- Tamasha is truly a gem produced by Bollywood and one the best movies ever made for sure.

Filmanion rating- 8.7/10.
