Interior Cafe Night (2014)

Good take on romance and sadness (and comedy eventually)

[6/10 · 28 June 2017]

"Interior Cafe Night" is an Indian movie from 2014 that has been seen by millions of people since then and the film's title is the location where it takes place. It runs for 13 minutes and was written and directed by Adhiraj Bose and if you aren't fluent in Hindi, make sure you get a good set of subtitles. I am not familiar enough with Indian cinema to say how well-known the actors in here are, but I think they all did a good job overall. It is the story of two couples, a young couple about to break up because the woman has to move far away, and an old couple reunited after many years, decades probably even. The plot twist with them being the same people at different stages in their lives can be guessed easily admittedly, maybe a bit too easily for the film to really make the touching impact it attempts to make. But it was still a decent watch that I enjoyed during pretty much all stages of its presentation. There was not one best moment or best performance or best aspect I would say, but there are also no major weaknesses here. It is a success that delivers in terms of several genres. I think you may want to see it, especially if you love Indian movies. Thumbs-up.
