(Crisp) Movie Review: ZERO SE RESTART by FENIL SETA


Zero Se Restart is a documentary which was released today in cinemas and it throws light on how the much loved film 12th Film was made. The film is just 88 minutes long and starts on an amusing note. Director Jaskunwar Kohli is also the narrator and he uses hilarious one-liners to keep the interest going. Viewers will be surprised to see the story behind some of the key scenes and the insane lengths the team of the film went to get them right. There's also an interesting trivia about the casting of Vikrant Massey that gets highlighted in the documentary. On the flipside, it is sad that the makers don't focus on how the much-loved climax and pre-climax scene were filmed. Medha Shankr, who became a sensation after this film, is not highlighted much. Lastly, there's a sound issue, which is understandable due to the chaos on the sets, but then, the makers should have released the film with subtitles. All in all, Zero Se Restart is a fine effort and will get its audience on OTT.

My rating - *** out of 5!

Vikrant Massey's post: Retirement or publicity stunt?

Vikrant Massey: Retirement or  publicity stunt?

A sudden announcement has left fans wondering if the actor is retiring or if it is just a promotional tactic
HINDUSTAN TIMES (December 3, 2024)

Early on Monday, actor Vikrant Massey penned a note on Instagram, hinting that he would be stepping away from acting projects “until time deems right.”

Recently seen in The Sabarmati Report, he wrote, “Hello. The last few years and beyond have been phenomenal. I thank each and every one of you for your indelible support (folded hands emoji). But as I move forward, I realize its time to recalibrate and go back home.” He added, “So, coming 2025, we would meet each other for one last time... Last 2 movies and many a years of memories. Thank you again. For everything and everything in between. (sic).”

Shocked fans were quick to comment on social media, ruing the move. “Why would you do that..? There are hardly any actors like you. We need some good cinema,” one user said, while a second comment read, “Tbh it’s such a brave decision to do it at this time when your career could potentially get bigger. So my respect to him for doing what seems right at the moment (sic).”

However, others are convinced that there is more than meets the eye, drawing parallels between Massey’s use of the word ‘recalibrate’ and his upcoming film, Zero Se Restart. “Is it a gimmick or any upcoming project or really u retiring from movies (sic).” one fan asked. Another agreed, adding, “It doesn’t make sense”.

It is unclear whether the actor, who began acting in 2007, is on a temporary hiatus or retired. We reached out to Massey for comment, but did not get a response till the time of going to press.
