Storyline

Edit

Good Night Good Morning is a black and white, split-screen, conversation film about two strangers sharing an all-night phone call on New Year's night in New York City. Writer-Director Sudhish Kamath tries to discover good old fashioned love and romance in a technology-driven mobile world as the boy driving from New York to Philadelphia with buddies after a wild night out of drinking, calls the enigmatic girl alone in her hotel after a brief encounter at the bar. An all-night phone call becomes a surreal, dream-like experience especially when the limited validity of the adventure gives you the freedom to be who you want to be. Anonymity could be comforting and such a situation could lead to an unlikely romance. Or something like it. —Anonymous

The Much Needed Change

It all began with 'Frozen'. Then, 'That Girl In Yellow Boots' followed. Opinions were as diverse as chalk and cheese, but discussion was 'generated'. I could see the signs. Indie was taking its first baby steps, making its presence felt. Right here, in India.

In the times when the majority of people are busy helping the Hindi Film Industry hurtle down the abyss into the Stone Age, here comes a movie to shut us up. Delightfully funny and bitingly perceptive, Sudhish Kamath's 'Good Night Good Morning' is a slap on the faces of those who still try searching for stories in item numbers and mindless action. Not that I am against any of those. As long as they are done well... But, I digress.

The point that I am trying to emphasize on is - you can find a story anywhere. In ordinary day to day lives. In two strangers. Strangers who seem to have absolutely nothing in common. In a phone call. Kamath and co-writer Shilpa Rathnam use dialogues extremely well and it helps that Seema Rahmani and Manu Narayan turn in terrific performances. Shot almost entirely in black and white, 'Good Night Good Morning' is a game-changer with respect to the Great Indie Movement.

Go watch. You'll have time for mindless entertainers. But see GNGM and tell me it wasn't worth your time. If you've seen Woody Allen's films, Linklater's movies, you'll be more than just delighted. Like I was.
