Take a look:
Darbaan is a very good piece of cinema, artistically imagined and gently executed, says the critic. The critic goes on to highlight Sharib Hashmi’s performance as ‘heartwarming in a rarely seen way’. The reviewer also adds, “Without moving away from the plot’s main thrust, director Bipin Nadkarni draws a complex yet a crystal-clear and artfully heartfelt picture of the complex relationship between an aristocratic family and its most favoruite caregiver.” The review concludes by stating, “It’s an epic story compressed into 90 minutes of unadulterated emotions. The sheer emotional heft of the story takes the characters and the film across the turbulent river of life’s bizarre vicissitudes.”
Raicharan’s personality is the backbone of Darbaan, writes the critic. The reviewer goes on to draw parallels between Tagore’s literature and the performances in the film to explain what makes Darbaan a great watch. The review states, “Actor Sharib Hashmi has played the role of Raicharan with strength by doing justice to the character. Annu Kapoor’s narration adds a beautiful touch to the story. Overall, Darbaan stands out as an exception in terms of art and cinema.”
The reviewer explains how ‘time repeats itself’ in the storyline of Darbaan. “The story offers us a dewy-eyed tale but some points lack behind. It’s like a smooth screenplay in the same way as normally life goes on. Overall, it’s a story of life that usually brings unfair, and unpredictable things. ‘Darbaan’ is quite a unique story of loyalty, friendship, caregiving, and the ultimate sacrifice that is shown by excellent actors,” concludes the critic as he explains why Darbaan is a must-watch film.
The appreciations are raining in for Darbaan. If you haven’t watched the film yet, add Darbaan to your watchlist.
