Author: Avinash Patalay from Middle Earth

Too many big names associated with this project. Apart from the mammoth star-cast, please pay attention to the three "intellectual pool" of writers contributing to the ahem... broth. The answer lies somewhere in between "Brainstorming exercise gone haywire" or "paradigm shift went overboard".

Juxtaposing is a tried and tested method for Mr. RO Mehra. The autobiographical attempt is presented with the narrative concept from Malgudi Days and juxtaposing the socio-economic Mini-India. Noble intentions indeed, sadly attempted too early considering his single-digit film-making career. There are shades of great directors in the attempt however the plot fails to connect.

I will refrain to comment on performances and this is because the character seems "small" and the actor for the part "big". Practically, everybody seems grossly under-utilised. There is hardly any actor that stays on your mind after you walkout of the cinema. Just a second, it just struck me that Rishi Kapoor was in the movie as well.

Music is innovative and loaded with good tracks. However owing to the pot-hole the Malgudi Days drops everybody into, the songs are truncated big time and lose their very purpose. Well under-utilised there again.

The last 15-minutes takes a complete mickey out of the audience. Whoever came up with it let me assure you it was a monkeys idea. Not removing the mask at the very least saved further damage. And yo - from where did the flat-liner bit seep in?

With "Aks" Mr. RO Mehra learnt a valuable lesson about the importance of screenplay. The debacle of D-6 would have contributed to the learning curve I am sure.

PS:: Jr B's accent - nay!!! Should have let him be... or watch Siddharth Makkar in "Straight" from as a reference point.
