Irfan Khan made his presence felt in a little known movie called "Haasil". This guy, has incredible screen presence but he is probabley overshadowed by Pankaj Kapoor, who is just superb as Abbaji. He reminds me of Brando in "Godfather" albeit, he is not smothering a kitten! The two stelwarts, Puri and Shah, have plain fun working together, I wouldn't be surprised if they just improvised as they went along. The guy to watch is Abbas Tyrewala who is making great strides in script-writing. He has flair for comedy that very few have in the Industry. The problem with Irfan Khan is that he is better in good speaking part as in "Haasil". Here he is let down. Tabu, is good and the director has done a great job with some authentic scenes, albeit the editing suffers. Altogehter this is a movie that exemplies the fact that with the right mix of talent, a good movie can be made irrespective of the budget restraints and constraints.
