Rajat Kapoor is a wildly underrated filmmaker in Hindi cinema today. His last few features have been unlike any other. The film within a film, led by Rajat playing RK playing Mehboob was an interesting one to watch; the nonsensical notion of a film character suddenly escaping into the real world AND then having this notion be accepted by everyone without question was just a fun, whimsical treat.
Reuniting Malika and Ranvir in another film. Tara Sharma giving us one line reading and disappearing from the next shot. Kubbra Sait. Red socks. Malika's Neha playing diva, showing up for a 9am shot at noon. The ending. The thinking man's love letter to Bollywood?
