The Namesake - Am I the only one who doesn’t like the movie??

Well… After all the hype about “The Namesake” being a ‘great’ film by 'the great’ Mira Nair, I was disappointed beyond compare. It started out fairly well but as it progressed, it seemed to lack captivity and failed to keep the audience’s attention. Not much of a storyline. Seems slow and more like a documentary.

On a good note, as expected, there is a display of good acting skills by Tabu and Irrfan Khan. The subject is good and real but a lot of movies have broached it before and I don’t see why this should be the better of the lot. No punch lines. The ending was sad! Not convincing at all!

The hot scene enacted between Irfan Khan and Tabu lacked any sensuousness. It felt vulgar, no grace or dignity whatsoever, leaving a bitter taste in the mouth.

Overall a bore!!!!!!!
