Good Night I Good Morning

My Review : Good Night / Good Morning



Sudhish Kamath’s “Good Night I Good Morning” is a novel yet interesting watch. It involves loads of hard work & intelligence to write a script like this based a telephonic conversation between two strangers on the New Year night. And the more difficult part is to keep the viewers interested over 80 minutes not giving any scope for boredom. In this type of screenplay boredom is inevitable to strike the viewers but Sudhish Kamath intelligently uses some funny, some poignant & some hard hitting interludes which prevents the viewers from having a monotonous feel to it.

As with any good cinema writing is excellent. Movie is basically a conversation between two strangers who at the outset are still clinging onto their extended grief of loss of their respective relationships. And over the course of the conversation how they let go off their angst and get on with their lives , almost. Sudhish Kamath & Shilpa Rathnam’s writing is what makes this movie a fulfilling experience. Dialogues are amazingly well written with lots of lines which sure to bring out a smile or two as well as some which moves one.

The spontaneity of the actors is one of the strongest points of the movie. Manu Narayan & Seema Rahmani have lived the characters, make the viewers empathize with them , travel with them through their past & the present as well look at the future with expectation. Especially the last twist in the tale would sure bring in joyous exuberance in the viewers.

Nischalakrishna Vittalanathan’s cinematography brings the story in close proximity to the viewers. The style of cinematography sucks in the viewers into the car the male protagonist is travelling & the hotel room in which the female lead is staying. This gives a personal feel to the viewers which further enhance the impact .

The success of the movie lies in the impact the movie has on the viewers which is extremely difficult to create, which Sudhish Kamath, the director has accomplished. It is one of the most unique, creative & artistic movie that has been made in the recent times by an Indian film-maker which warrants more eyeballs as well as accolades.

On the whole, “Good Night I Good Morning” is a gratifying experience for the movie lover in you.

Bottomline : Ingenious

4/5
