Only three things work in films, said Vidya's character in Dirty Picture: Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment.
In Aiyyaa, Director Sachin Kundalkar delivers on that promise with a wonderful cast led by Rani Mukerjee and south Indian superstar Prithviraj, some outrageously bold song and dance sequences, a very quirky treatment to background score, screenplay and dialogues, all coming together in an amazing amalgamation, beautifully contrasting Lady Gaga brand of shock entertainment with the sweetness and sensuality of a dreamy romantic world.
Rani Mukerjee plays Minaxi Deshpande, a simple Maharashtrian middle class girl in Pune, with a crazy family - a father who smokes 4 cigarettes at once, a crazy old grandma with gold teeth cappings zipping around the house in her motorized wheechair, a crazy-for-dogs brother, and a mom obsessed with getting her married off. But Minaxi doesn't see all that - she lives in her own dreamy world of Madhuri, Sridevi and Juhi, completely in love with her inner self, and at peace with the world. While her evenings at home are spent in Chaha-Pohe programs, she falls in love with the sensual smell of one of the art students in her college, where she works as an office clerk.
See the movie for an amazing performance by Rani, a performance worthy of applause. She's pretty, she dances amazingly well, and her eyes do so much! Contrast her love and the way she expresses her feelings with the nonsensical antics of the junior Kapoor in BArfi, and you will appreciate what emoting is all about...
Not everyone will understand the artists behind the movie, but if you can, this is one movie you will remember for a long time!
