Hindi film review
Johnson Thomas
Feckless whodunit
Film: Midsummer Midnight Mumbai(M3)
Cast: Sara Khan, Paras Chabbra, Milind gunaji, Kiran
Kumar, Pooja Thakur,M.A.Guddu
Rating: * ½
The moniker has nothing much to do with the story
being told, so that’s a negative in itself. The manner in which the narrative
is structured, makes for a period of clueless wonder and even towards the end
it remains that way. And this despite the contrived set0up and conveniently
plottled development.
Sapna(Sara Khan) and Rahul(paras Chabra) are in
love. To confuse matters, Nisha and Rahul are also shown in compromising
positions. But several songs later we are given to understand that Nisha and
Rahul’s sexual closeness is all in Nisha’s imagination. She is the one who
helped Rahul get his ig break as a singer in her father’s music company. Then
comes the clincher. Rahul is murdered on the day he was supposed to get engaged
to Sapna.
The film in fct opnes with the scene of the crime
with something which seems like Rahul’s apparition filing a complaint of his
own murder. It’s a confounding piece of plotting and just a little curiosity
spraks interest. But only for a short span. Once the truth is revealed you know
that the script will go to any lengths to confuse and mislead. The songs are
just about ok. The performances are all wooden and uninteresting. The
characters are so badly drawn that you wouldn’t believe it if you saw it. At
the end of it all you just feel incredulous that something like this had a
financier willing to support it’s creation.
