I watched Being Cyrus over the weekend. This movie imitated French-style art film. My mind leans towards not liking the movie too much.However, something about it,sticks to my mind.

The psycho-thriller was full of psycho babble by all characters whose deep thoughts were aborted by the Script writer or the Director. Whoever, bad mistake, deep character for a deep dark movie.

What was it about the "Hutch" (mobile network)in the movie. You could make out the pointed self-advertising in the movie. How could you ever miss the Hutch puppy, wich pisses on the car of one of the characters? I know Hutch must have given in some moolah to make the movie, but don’t sell yourself via a movie that is trying to deliver a strong story. The bloody market drives the movie.

Saif looked hot!!!! He's getting rave reviews for his performance (he sort of deserves it), Dimple was good too. Boman Irani average. Naseer, his character doesn't warrant acting just behaving eccentric. Behaving doesn't qualify as acting.

The picture did one good thing by being made; it highlighted the darker side of the dwindling Parsi community in India, more so Mumbai. The treatment of the aged, the waning fortunes of the once rich community, the incesteousness and famed eccentricity.The Director is Parsi ofcourse.

I watched the movie at the Prasad's Multiplex in Hyderabad. Gotto love the multiplex.

I loved the way Dimple dialogues –

Dinshaw you bloody idiot

. You realize she doesn’t respect or love the man. There starts the movie.

Earlier titled Akoori, Being Cyrus is the directorial debut of Homi Adajania and also Saif Ali Khan's first film in English. Being Cyrus is a psychological drama with unusual characterizations.

The story revolves around a Parsi family, Sethnas residing in the hills of Panchgani. A retired sculptor Dinshaw (Naseeruddin Shah) heads the family. Other members of the joint family comprise of Dinshaw's wife Katy (Dimple Kapadia), brother Farokh (Boman Irani), sister-in-law Tina (Simone Singh) and second brother Fardoonjee (Honey Chhaya).

Then arrives Cyrus (Saif Ali Khan) at the Sethna house and stays on.

As the movie proceeds it gains a psychological insight into the family and reveals that everything is not all right with the Sethna family. Not just that, even Cyrus comes across as a bizarre personality.

Made under the banner of Times Infotainment Media Limited, Being Cyrus is produced by Ambika Hinduja, Dinesh Vijan, Raman Macker and Munnish Puri.
