What the Fish

So, Dimple Kapadia jumps into the latest fad of new wave cinemas and tries to earn few bucks. While her performance & character is over the top, the film per se doesn't work enough to please its audience.

With a purely non-fictitious Delhi as a backdrop, it tells the story of a Mausi who assigns the tasks of feeding her child-like fish, watering her plant and looking after her house to her niece. The plot follows how different people end up in the house wrecking havoc. What was being an inquisitive watch with good humor as a support goes haywire as characters come and go without much explanation. And if there is explanation, they are superficial.

The writers probably had a base idea which they mount with everything they can ever think of as scriptwriters. The filmmaking parameters are nothing worth writing about. Actors do their part well, but nothing groundbreaking.

With a fast-paced plot at hand, What The Fish diminishes to being a mindless entertainer which only has parts to be proud of viz. the setup, the light humor and the Delhi lifestyle.

BOTTOM LINE: Not worth your precious time but if it is experimental movies that you are fond of, this is a sure bet. 3.6/10.
