Yahaan

The new awakening in Bollywood with latest infusion of talented technicians and directors has started to give us a "variety". Creative production units are looking at catering to specific strata of the moviegoing public. Shoojit Sircar's debut effort called "Yahaan" although is a reminiscence of "roja" on the theme and treatment, is a commmendable offering to the multiplex crowd in India.

"Yahaan" is definitely worth one watch, Barring the "overuse " of the blue filter which got on my nerves, "Yahaan" scores on the treatment and the overall "real" feel , it also has pleasant performances by the lead, Jimmy and Nimisha.

In my opinion Indian producers/directors now should look at revenue collection from DVD/VCD sales, since most cinegoers will never throng the theatres minus a strong star cast and the associated paraphernalia, creating movies that compell a strong buy for repeated home viewing will at least address part cost of production.

"Yahaan" will not be a box office success, but will remain as one good debutant offering.
