BRAVADO is good. But only until it doesn’t backfire. While we do applaud the director for presenting a novel story of a bunch of women who flit between their boudoirs and the stock broker’s office, ending up as Dalal Streets’ wackiest investors, we still try to ferret the missing link. What’s the connection between their family stories and the nifty? If the stock market and the sensex was a metaphor for female empowerment — the powderpuff girls in the kitty party read Economic Times , while the men roll out the chapattis — it sadly doesn’t work. Because, the film is essentially an assortment of love stories, young and old, half-baked and full-blown. And the romance too is largely lack lustre.
The film actually belongs to Kirron Kher, the divorced woman who tries to settle down in Mumbai and Farooq Sheikh, the woman-bashing Parsi stock broker who ends up helping her and wondering if he should take her out on a coffee date. Running parallel to this adult affair is the babalog’s romantic triangle between sad and sweet Tanushree Dutta, smart and silly Ankur Khanna and gold digger Masumeh. Add to this the other cackling bunch and you have a microcosm of India thrown into the apartment block — the loud Punjabi, the funny English-speaking Sindhi, the Kamal Haasan-loving southie….Tacky.
Sad, because this ones’s a novel idea gone sour.
