Mithya (2008)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

hyped garbage

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

In one word...Brilliant!!! Rajat Kapoor finally proved that bollywood has potential to come up with marvelous stories. Movie revolves around life of a guy who faces a lot of challenges which occurs due to unfortunate events. It shows close relationships with some other people who intentionally or unintentionally becomes part of this whole story. Movie can be considered as a dark comedy and drama which shows every aspect of life closely...emotions, love, fear, courage, deception...everything! Bollywood needs more of these kind of cinema to understand and feel emotions and life. Irony is we just ignore these films by tagging as 'Parellel cinema'. Way to go on Rajat...Incredible!!

Don, done right.Directed by Rajat Kapoor, who played the smart part of things, make that, the extra-smart part of things, in the ripoff of 'Le diner des cons', 'Bheja Fry'.Casting his hero against type, he ensured that everyman, nee, every sidekick, Ranvir Shorey, headlined this one; with Naseeruddin Shah playing the heavy, with Vinay Pathak putting in one more of his powerful not-just-comedic performances, as the heavy for the heavy.Neha Dhupia, whose choice of roles such as this one, and her essaying the lead in 'Ek chalis ki last local', have endeared her to me, and not just a pin-up eye-candy, is fantastic as (more than just) the moll over here. In spite of most of its poignant plot- moves, that never quite stray into the predictable, staying more than a step ahead of its (Don-aware) audience, the abundance of dark humor in this one makes it one of the best repeat-watch noirs in movie history.As usual, vastly underrated and criminally un(der)seen, this one should (at least) become a cult classic, at the very least over here on UCMC.Buy the DVD a'ready.

Mithya is a story of a lier who lives the life of a gangster.This is the movie which shows the madness of all the characters in the movie,especially Ranvir Shorey.The story of the film is very different and its after a very long time that I saw a film like this one. The film starts with about how a simple man VK (Ranvir Shorey)tries his best to really make a mark for himself in the film industry. while attempting to really prove his mettle VK the simple man get caught into the web of murky underworld politics. The Rest you must see by yourself.For me,the movie is really entertaining with lot of fun.Ranvir Shorey gave his best performance in this movie.

Mithya is a movie completely belongs to Ranvir Shorey as whole of the movie based on his character.And the most important part is he is in double role.To see Ranvir Shorey in a double role of Vk and an underworld Rajebhai and he has performed exceptionally well.Mithya is a story about an unemployed actor VK (playd by Ranvir Shorey) whose life takes a sudden turn when it is discovered that his face resembles that of a powerful don Rajeh (again played by Ranvir Shorey). The movie starts on a wonderful pace with some funny sequences thrown in. A memorable one is where the some henchmen try to take out a snap of VK. Mithya does become a movie that should not be missed.
