Teen Deewarein- Movie review

Yet another random visit to the Landmark Book store to buy a Landmark Quiz coupon and yet another futile attempt to search for some real random and arbit movies...well this time not really futile..get my hands on 3 Deewarein and immediately grab it...
A tiring day in office translates into watching a good movie in the evening..all alone....

Now on to the review of the movie-
Inspired in part by the cult classic Shawshank Redemption, this movie is definitely worth a watch..It was made at a time when one Nagesh Kukunoor was considered a thinking director one who would make movies he believed in (Hyd Blues(1 and 2) Rockfort to name a few) before Bollywood really spoilt him(Bombay to Bangkok, Tasveer 8*10, Aashayein with John Abraham puke!) Dor being the only exception....Its a honest portrayal of the conditions in any typical Indian jail, the conditions of those incarcerated ...Most importantly he gets it right with the atmosphere and the art direction....The story is slow and begins to pick pace in the latter part of the second half...As the tag line says- 3 stories One ending..and if you have the patience to gloss over the first half and sit back and ewatch the movie till the end you will love it..
The only sore point is that though Kukoonoor tries his best to script a thriller, the story somehow has many loopholes which is difficult to digest..
However the acting by Naseeruddin is simply awesome....for once Jackie Shroff acts (and doesn't ham) Kukoonor the actor is passable..his character is that of a typical Hyderbadi hence he gets the accent correct..else we would have puked on him just as we did on Rajni and Kamal when they acted in Hindi movies (fellow Tam friends my sincerest apologies!..)..

Watch this story for the climax...and yes i was expecting a Shawshank Redemption type ending..but this one beat me..its different...
