haapus (2010) (6/10)

In haapus (Alphonso) they have tried to deal with a pertinent problem of the money not reaching the people who go produce as well as trying to dismantle, if only a little, the hold that astrology has on people. However its been mixed with comedy partly based on twins and with too fantastic a transition that comes about towards the end. Add to it the trauma of a past accident, a mother on the deathbed and so on. So, while it is not a masala movie in the usual sense, there is a lot of its own masala in it. To black and white in some sense.
