This is starting to get big here at SASTRA. More and more people are joining the movie makers club and each team coming up with a bigger better idea and execution.
The latest entry is that of 'Constipated Productions Ltd.' with their first movie (a rather short one) Mistree: An overgrown plant (please dont ask me what that means). The story is quite engrossing and wins your attention. The Constipated team says that the latest blockbuster Om Shanti Om has stolen a few (read one) of their concepts. You will have to see to find out.
I was not invited for the premier show but I managed to sneek a look at the movie while its still in its post-production phase. Here's what I felt about it.
The work is appreciable considering that its their first venture. The director has tried to show spontaneity by making it actually a spontaneous recording and this fact totally shows in the poor dialoge delivery and faulty coordination. The handling of the camera is anything but good. The scene which is supposed to be the climax and give the audience a shock is so badly done that I sat confused for a few minutes before I was finally able to understand the theme (acting sadly, is a very important part of film production).
Here are the good things about the movie, things that would make you watch it. The movie talks about common things that happen in and around us all the time and become the topic of discussion invariably. The involvement of a few people and names make it really interesting and make you ask so many questions (but the producers and directors deny any such story). It was nice to find that we have some actors who know how to face the camera and be natural. Aman ZEEK Verma is a bundle of talent and acting comes natural to him (as he is the biggest fan of KING KHAN). Sidhartha Bohra was good on screen and had a very natural dialogue delivery. On the whole, if you have access to the movie do watch it, its fun and short.
The best part of the movie was after it ended. Really funny and witty stuff to watch.
Good job guys but do make this just a start and give us some fantastic stuff in future.
PS: I hope they decide to put it up on youtube or something so that all of you can see the movie.
