Ek Chalis Ki Last Local : by Sanjay M. Khanduri

Ek Chalis ki Last Local ... is a a genre chartered many times and is termed as a "black comedy" a la' "Jaane bhi do Yaaron"

It is a story of a roller-coaster night of 2.5 hrs , where the life of a call-center exexcutive is turned upside down!

Abhay Deol has come a long way since his debut in Socha Na Tha .. and he has improved in leaps and bounds...

The movie starts at a train platform , Abhay misses his last local train and is stranded , biding time to reach his destination or wait for the morning train.

As the film unfolds, the call center executive encounters plethora of people ranging from a prostitute to road side goons to card-gamblers.

The Card-Game sequence is well-executed , capturing the excitement to the maximum.

Post-Interval the film , becomes a tad boring with a few stories webbed together...

Culmination of the film is reminicent of the hollywood flick Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels which I just saw a few dayz back.... nice attempt by the new director!

Performances : Kudos to Abhay! and the bar girl singing the Kukudu Song is gut-busting!!!

Rating : 3.5/5.0

Thats slightly lower ratings than i would expect from you for this "funny" movie...esp because you normally are more generous

Yes true , but I have changed my Rating Meter ... So this is justified ... I have modified my Rating Scale for all the POSTS!!!!! ..

It was getting a little too predictable!!!
