(Crisp) Movie Review: MAYASABHA by FENIL SETA

Mayasabha is written and directed by Rahi Anil Barve of Tumbbad fame and he once again tells a story of greed. His imagination is sold; the film is set in just one venue, a rundown single-screen theatre, and its depiction adds to the effect. A few scenes are memorable. However, though the film is just 104 minutes, it seems like a tedious affair. Hardly anything happens in the first 20-25 minutes. Also, the goings-on get bizarre at times. Jaaved Jaaferi rises above the script and is presented like never before. This is easily his best performance. Mohd Samad, who played the child actor in Tumbbad, does a great job. Veena Jamkar and Deepak Damle leave a huge mark. All in all, Mayasabha is an average flick.
My rating - ** ½ out of 5!
