Dedh Ishqiya (2014)
Directed by Abhishek
Chaubey this film stars Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi, Madhuri Dixit
and Huma Qureshi. Two thieves at odds over a stolen necklace get
caught up in a poetry competition to win the hand (and estate) of a
widowed noblewoman.
Despite this film
being a sequel it works perfectly well as a stand alone and has no
references to it's predecessor. The plot is not really a comedy as in
it is not overly funny but the story is a bit reminiscent of themes
commonly explored in Shakespeare's romantic comedies with many
characters hiding who they really are. Not much stands out about this
film but it is a solid effort that could have done with exploring
it's comedic side a little more.
3/5
