Table No. 21 (2013)
6/10
A One-Timer!
4 July 2013
Warning: Spoilers
After watching the brilliance of 'Amir', I could not miss another Rajeev Khandelwal starrer. This one also stars the amazing Paresh Rawal and a promising Tena Desae.

The movie begins well and keeps the audience awkwardly engaged, if not nail-biting throughout its course. The most thrilling scenes are re- stitched on prior Hollywood markings. No doubts there.

What begins as a predictable, dark plot with a gullible couple, an excess of gore and some good flashback narratives, shapes into an unsettling climax. Almost leaving you cheated.

Messages are very important, especially those that make people ponder, but this plot overshadows the essence of it. In table no. 21, the message is a stamp size photo mounted within a gigantic frame. With a frame that big, the picture can never be registered and it might just turn into mockery.

The climax is a subject that needs to be portrayed in a more dignified manner. We can only hope that people learn from this vague presentation. However, it is a good attempt by the director, some good acting by the actors but sadly, just a one-timer.
