Bas Ek Pal
After his sensitive “My Brother Nikhil” that dealt with homosexuality and AIDS, new-age director Onirban returns to the marquee this Friday with “Bas Ek Pal” about complex urban relationships.
The Sanjay Suri-Urmila Matondkar starrer goes into the overlapping issues of friendship, love, jealousy, passion, insecurity and anger.
The film revolves around five people bound by an incident that changes their lives forever. Set in Mumbai, each character has a secret. When they are unearthed, they alter the dynamics of every relationship in the movie.
The story goes something like this:
After completing his MBA from abroad, happy go lucky Nikhil (Sanjay Suri) returns to Mumbai where he bumps into Anamika (Urmila Matondkar), an architect, at a nightclub.
For Nikhil it’s love at first sight, but Anamika doesn’t take him seriously and disappears without even telling her name.
Nikhil starts visiting the pub anticlock regularly hoping to meet her again. After waiting for several nights, he is sitting there with his buddies Rahul (Jimmy Shergill) and Steve (Rehaan Engineer) when Anamika comes with her friends.
Nikhil tries to woo Anamika, but her boyfriend butts in and an altercation takes place, leading to a scuffle in which a shot is fired.
Time stands still as Nikhil realises he has shot his friend Rahul who is lying unconscious on the floor.
The moment changes their lives. And as the movie progresses it unveils their secrets one by one.
In the end, they realise that their quest for that ever elusive moment of happiness complicated their lives.
Critics liked the film but were not too happy with the climax when it was shown at the Osian Film Festival in the capital this year. Onirban had said he might tighten his film a little bit.
If he has indeed made the necessary alterations, the film is well worth a watch.

Thank you for stopping by. I would like to see one of these movies. They, too, seem like a soap opera. In response to your question, I put the pictures in my post by first going to the Post section, then clicking on "Edit Posts." At the post, I clicked on the picture icon, then I decided whether I wanted the picture on the left, in the center, or on the right. Next, I uploaded a picture from a select designation. That's it. I will talk to you later. I will try to stop by again soon. Right now, I have homework. I am in school and I have two classes for the Fall 2006 semester. Have a great weekend.
Loved, absolutely loved, this movie. Rated it 9/10. Urmi and Juhi are such a dynamite combination. And Sanjay is solid like always. See it.
