David




*ing : Vikram, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Vinay Virmani, Isha Shewani, Tabu, Monica Dogra
Director : Bijoy Nambiar

Tagline : Three Lives, Three Destinies, One Name

David is a story of three lives in three generations that at the end cross each other's path. Bejoy Nambiar has directed this visually appealing and musically soothing movie much like his first film , Shaitan.
Neil Nitin Mukesh's David is a man-of-few-words-David, and may be the best story in all three. This one with its black n white tone sets the gritty mood right away. The actors here have acted their part well and even the story keeps you with it. A crime drama, which has its own set of twists brought to screen beautifully. The film has beautiful Monica Dogra (emotionally ineffective though) who I must admit, have a slight crush on.
Vinay's David is a wanabe-rockstar-David. This one's a drama which could have been easily better with the potential. One as an audience will find it difficult to empathize with his character even when this is supposed to be more painful than the other two.
Vikram's David is the drunkard David who is hated by his neighborhood for his unruly nature. The story tries to be funny with its unconventional screenplay like his dead father (Sourabh Shukla) coming to visit him after taking over a living person's body, randomly. But it’s the weakest of the 3.
I hadn’t like Shaitan much. I dint like David much. But Nambiar deserves to make better movies.

Rating :
** & ½
