Blackmail’ film Review
‘‘Blackmail’ film Review
Alok
srivastava
Director: Abinay Deo
Starring: Irrfan Khan, Divya Dutta, Kirti Kulhari,
Arunoday Singh
Run time : 139 minutes
Dev (Irrfan Khan) wanted to surprise his wife Reena (Kirti
Kulhari) so he decides to reach home early one day.
He found her in bed with her lover Ranjeet (Arunoday
Singh)
Ranjeet who betrayed his wife Dolly (Divya Dutta).
Well, Dev decides to use this as an opportunity to
extract some money from Ranjeet, with the help of this money, he wanted to
clear off his EMIs and dues.
He sets the chain of extortions. Blackmailing leads to
counter-blackmailing as money keeps changing hands.
Director Abhinay deo did a great job as he sets up the
action well and keeps you engaged for a while.
You know, things begin to slacken, the film could have
done with more sharpness despite of even wickedness.
But it could have been very well.
Each and every character is quirky, Irrfan who is
specially good in the scene when the betrayal dawns on him.
In just a few shots, he communicates all the emotions at
a go – disbelief, hurt, anger, suffocations.
Divya Dutta
manages to bring her own shades of dark fun to the alcoholic.
I am finding it to difficult to pick up who was the
worst= the stupid boss or office colleague.
This is undigested that middle class man wouldn’t ask for
more moolah than he requires for his immediate needs, just Rs1 lakh!
It is difficult to understand how none could have found
out about his wrongdoing in the office washroom with the photos of his
colleagues wives.
If there is one thing that
offers roadblocks in this otherwise fun ride, it is the slow pace with which Abinav
establishes his plot and characters.
Well, the performances,
fun filled and realistic story telling keep
you engaged and entertained.

I asked My Mom

When We Are Growing Up in Life
It actually sort of matters to people how you
look. And then it matters to you because it matters to others. Why does it
matter how you look? Because If they don’t like you, then who will like you? If
they don’t accept you, then who will accept you? And the fear that we have is that
we are going to be alone. There are so many questions.
We Have To Change Ourselves
So many people put
me down and said, you can’t do this and you can’t do that and I couldn’t change
anything. I couldn’t change my circumstance. You know what I mean. But it was
so hard because people put me down. And I started believing that I was not good
enough. I started believing that I was a failure. And it was so hard, I thought
to myself. I started getting depressed. I thought, what kind of purpose do I
have to live? I mean, Is there not a purpose for me? Is there not a purpose in
life? And I had questions, and no answers. But then someone said we are not
good enough so we have to change ourselves.
I Asked My Mom
I asked my mom,
why did this happen? Then she said, ”There are some things in life that are out
of your control that you can’t change and you have got to live with. The choice
that we have, though is either to give up or keep on going. Are you going to
believing in yourself? Or are you going to believe everybody else’s judgment on
you? Are you going to believe people when they say that you are a failure? That
no one really likes you. That no one really cares about you. And it’s not
really to say that you need somebody to come up to you. And say, “ I really like you. And I really care about
you. It’s not about that. But it’s the fact people put you down. People don’t
even look you in the eye. But you have to face the world and you have to WIN.
Are You Really Fine?
People ask you how you are and you say “ fine”. But you
are not really fine and they will never know that I tell you life is interesting.
Life is a journey. In public life, you have to deal many people. And just show
your STRENGTHS not Weaknesses.
I will Try 100 Times To Get Up If I fail 100 Times
What do you do when you fall down. Get back up. Everybody
knows to get back up. You know there are some times in life when you fall down.
And feel like you don’t have the strength to get back up. And pretend that
everything is okay. you don’t have to impress anybody and you are yourself.
Fear comes in. May be you have doubt in your life. May be you don’t know for sure
what’s going to be happening in the future. It scares you. Just that fear that
paralyzes you. In that case, just say, I will try 100 times to get up if I fail
100 times.
There Is Still Hope
I am not here
today to tell you that I understand your pain. And I want you to know that I
have found my strength in God. And you are going to find your strength in
whatever you find it in. But I just want you to know that it’s not the end. It
matters how you are going finish. Are you going to finish strong? And you will
find that strength to get back up.
Start Putting Your Happiness Into Things
You know, I have a choice. And this is what I want to
talk about today.- choices. I can still do a lot of things. I am travelling
around the world it’s amazing. But I had to ask myself couple of questions. And
first question was really,” who am I “And it’s funny the friends around you
sort of determine who you are. Well, You start putting your happiness into
things.
