David

Direction     :  Bejoy Nambiar
Writers        :  Bejoy Nambiar, Natasha Sahgal
Starring       :  Vikram, Jiva, Tabu, Lara Dutta


A good tale, the film is a concoction of two stories and each one has one David. In 1999 David (jiiva) hails from a family of pious Christians and he loves music. But his orthodox father (nasser) is not comfortable with all that. His life is peaceful when a political issue gets his entire family into trouble. In 2010 comes one more David (vikram) a drunkard fisherman who falls in love with Roma (isha) but the problem is she is engaged to his best friend Peter. What happens in each tale forms the rest of the story.

Vikram was fabulous and showed his mettle, Jiiva was impressive and scored points with ease. Tabu was impressive as usual, Lara was brief, Rohini Hattangadi was neat, Nasser was natural. The others did their bit as required and added value.

The director has come up with a very interesting storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was good in parts.  The dialogues were alright. The script was average and the screenplay lost track after a while. The background score was good and two songs were good to hear. Cinematography was fantastic.  Editing should have been sharp. Costumes were trendy and appealing while the art department was apt.

Rating    :  2.5/5
Verdict   :  Average
