User Reviews

Interesting concept but could have done better.

Bollywood's maturing to international standards.Its about time movies are made differently. Dus Kahaniyaan is a a breakaway from the traditional Bollywood theme of the usual crushed,twisted and beaten up love stories. Somehow this movie reminded me of Four Rooms when i watched it. Most of the stories were interesting while some were pathetic. Although the movie was directed by 6 directors, all the stories had similar screenplay and narration. Camera work was top-notch. Sanjay Dutt looked awesome in his role as a Don. Shabana Azmi deserves special mention for her role as a southie with reservations about Muslims. Nana Patekar was good too in the story "Gubbare". Probably the worst stories were Lovedale and the one with the Punjabi bride(Don't remember its name!!). Overall the movie could have had better stories. But the concept and theme is refreshingly new and definitely wont go well with the masses. But directors, don't worry. You've got me!! Bollywood's growing up..... :)
