Good Night Good Morning (2010)

Let's be realistic.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

*ALL good reviews which you have ssen on Top are written by Sudish himself and he accepted that in one article at IBN*True review:Director Susdish Kamath should stop making Plagiarized movies,wonder such films must be banned,awful direction i think this man doesn't know anything about making movies bad looking actors n that guy sen is worst ever.if someone from the film is reading it please stop making such stupid films.such films are embarrassment for India.our cinema is reaching new heights but you are making fun of it.awful movie i want my money and time back..worst is also a good in front of this movie. some of the guys in this movie write movie reviews this movie shows creativity of your mind..please stop writing reviews now and die in shame somewhere you have no right to cheat actors,Indian audience.actually cant rate less than 1 otherwise 0/10 will be justice to this movie.

In between my transit and my stay at various places in Kerala, I happened to see the movie 'GOOD NIGHT, GOOD MORNING'. It was one of those Indian English movies or rather what we simply call as NRI movies. A noted film-critic with 'The Hindu', 'GOOD NIGHT, GOOD MORNING' is Sudhish Kamath's second movie, and as a regular reader of his movie reviews in 'The Hindu', I was naturally attracted to this second venture of his. The title as well as the poster caught my attention and so did the synopsis, as I delved into this movie which is entirely shot in black and white. The Black and White narration seemed to be an anachronism at first, but it essentially turns out to be the movie's USP. It adds to the romanticism of the plot as only the dreamy sequences and the flashbacks are in color. The film employs the 'Split-Screen' narrative, where the entire story is shown happening side by side. Plot wise, the movie is original, engrossing and entertaining.The movie is based in US, New York and the main protagonists are NRI's which help strike an instant chord with the urbane multiplex hopping young Indians. The story revolves around the female character Moira (played brilliantly by Seema Rehman), who stops by in New York while on her transit. There she meets Turiya (played by Manu Narayanan), who along with two of his friends is on a wild night celebration spree. The guys manage to get her hotel room number and there by her phone number.While on their drive back, in an intoxicated state, the guys decide to call her. Turiya calls her and after an initial hesitation, the Moira engages in conversation with him. The rest of the movie is about their phone conversation which is gripping, self reflective as also romantic. The topics of their conversation range from their mutual attraction, to discussion about 'The Matrix', spiritual stuff as also their individual problems. In the course, they both discover themselves and each other as a subtle romance takes over.'GOOD NIGHT, GOOD MORNING' is a very subtle movie, depicting the nuances of relationships that happen just out of the blue - with people whom we never meet or never thought about meeting, but still happens - and then leaves a lasting impression in our lives making us wonder, how life can be so strange. Sudhish Kamath's narrative is fresh, romantic and engrossing while, performances of both the lead actors, Seema Rehmani and Manu Narayan are compelling and original. It is one of those movies that have to be relished like a crunchy and creamy ice-cream sandwich. A must see movie.

This is first time i am writing a review for a movie and just for the sake of Sudish Kamath, whom i used to hate. Well let me about the Movie Good Night Good Morning simple story of a boy and a girl who engage in a phone conversation on new year's night. While speaking on phone they come across various stages of love. Performance wise everyone did their part well except one man Raja Sen,he was irritating with silly jokes. Technically one could expect nothing from these kinda movies but this movie was a surprise it was a good technically and perfectly edited. Now finally about the direction ,its really tough to direct a movie with only 5 cast members totally and Sudish has done a brilliant job, then conversation parts were well directed and the timing was perfect. Good thing about this movie is u wont fell like getting bored anywhere credits should be given to Sudish for making it an engaging movie. Rather than spending & watching some craps you can surely go for Good Night Good Morning with Zero expectation and i am sure that it wont disappoint you. Finally my apologies to Sudish Kamath I rated this movie 1 out 10 before watching it but now i have rated it what i should after watching it. so, we can expect a bigger and a better movies from Sudish Kamath in future. All The Best :)

"To call Good Night | Good Morning good cinema is understatement; it's beyond good… It's original, engrossing and entertaining. But what it does most is make you think. You find yourself pondering over old relationships, realizing the need to forgo and let go and more than anything, GN|GM reinforces your faith in love… it's a conversation you'll never forget," Roshni Mulchandani, BollySpice, wrote in her review of Good Night | Good Morning after the New York screening."Very few times do we come across a cinema that consumes you in a way that you're delighted, awed and indulged in a single shot. GN|GM is the very kind of cinema that tugs the heart for its earnest intentions and unadulterated cinematic treat. I found myself watching and re-watching some splendid scenes, from the initial awkwardness, subdued seductions, and unspoken confessions. It all feels wonderfully real that I am almost tempted to pick up the phone and have one such rendezvous of my own," Pooja Rao, BollySpice, wrote in her review of Good Night | Good Morning after the Delhi screening."Special mention to Sudhish Kamath's 'Good Night | Good Morning' which is in the 'Before Sunrise' space. The script by Kamath and Shilpa Rathnam is mint fresh with some great dialogues.," Harneet Singh, Indian Express, wrote in her review of the Mumbai Film Festival that played over 200 films over a span of a week between October 21 and 28. "Good Night Good Morning is lovely. Good mood, sharp lines, super acting and that jazz," she had also tweeted after the screening."The standout Indian efforts were Srinivas Sunderrajan's The Untitled Kartik Krishnan Project, a film on filmmaking, made on Rs 40,000; Sudhish Kamath's Good Night, Good Morning, a romantic film about a phone talk between two strangers; and Girish Kasaravalli's Kanasemba Kudureyaneri (Riding the Stallion of a Dream), a tale of a grave-digger's loss of faith in the power of his dreams," Namrata Joshi, Outlook Magazine wrote in her review of the Mumbai Film Festival."I liked Sudhish Kamath's Good Night Good Morning. Touching sophisticated film with Manu Narayan, Seema Rahmani and a very cool Raja Sen," journalist Aseem Chhabra tweeted after catching the film at the South Asian International Film Festival and said on camera that it was very rare to see a film like this come out of India."Good Night Good Morning by Sudhish Kamath is an arresting watch. Slick shots and crisp writing," film critic Mihir Fadnavis tweeted after watching the film at the Mumbai Film Festival."It is touching, heart breaking and drives you down the memory lane. I can easily say this is the most daring movie ever made. It's a must-watch. I am going with 4/5," blogger Naveen Varadarajan writes on BehindWoods."It takes great skill to write something that sounds this off-the-cuff. Too clever, and the viewer beings to question the likelihood of two strangers spitting out one-liner after one- liner at three in the morning; go too far in the other direction, and it becomes commonplace, and not worth watching… The leads had to be charming for it to work, and they are, Narayan with his timid overtures, Rahmani playfully knowing," a movie buff called A Fan Apart blogged after the screening at the Habitat Film Festival in Delhi."If Woody Allen had wanted to make a conversation film based on two Americans of Indian origin, it would look like Good Night|Good morning," movie-buff Sai Prasad Narendran blogged in his review of the film, and rated it 9.3/10!
