Sudhir Mishra is known to break the mould of Indian movies right from 'Is Raat Ki Subah Nahi' to 'Hazaaron Khwahishein' ...
The film title in fact caught my attention and seeing the ensemble was an icing on the cake.
With not much expectation , Yeh Saali Zindagi sprung a big surprise.
It is story of literally 'falling' in love and the redemption!
Chitrangda Singh plays Preeti who is caught in a mess over the kidnapping of the future son-in-law of a powerful minister whom she is in love.
Irfan is a small time money launderer who is in love Preeti and his unconditional feelings catches him a whirlpool of crime and deceit.
The film has a parallel track involving Arunoday Singh who plays a young gangster and wife played by Aditi Rao. The chemistry between the young talents generates sparks & is noteworthy.
Irffan Khan is a veteran now with wide array of character roles , his humour in diversity is an absolute revelation.
Chitrangda is all pretty and talented and the new bunch show a lot of promise. Special mention to Saurabh Shukla and his jugalbandi with Irffan.
Music is pleasing to the ears , songs like Kaise Kahen and the title track. The climax of the movie is truly expect the unexpected..
Yeh Saali Zindagi , hard hitting cinema at its best .. salute to a thriller genre!
Rating : 3.5/5.0
