Movie Review- Dus Kahaniyan (Stay at home)

Dus Kahaniyan is a film made around ten small stories of approximate 10-12 minute length. Every story is a unique story and do not have any kind of link with the other stories. Six different directors have directed these small movies and for every story there are different set of actors. This film was promoted as watching ten movies on the cost of one movie, however at the end we realise that we have even failed in enjoying a single movie. This is a small film and run time of film is around 2 hours.

Already, earlier we have some similar versions of films like Darna Mana Hai, Darna Zaroori Hai and Salaam-e-Ishq. However, “Dus Kahaniyan” is weaker than all these movies. Out of the ten stories only three stories have something really to offer and rest of other stories are either below average or are total garbage. I admit that it is really-2 hard to make small ten minutes movies which are entertaining and justify themselves well. For this, we require a great combination of good story, solid theme, super acting performance, best direction and best editing, however, most of the ten short movies of Dus Kahaniyan miss on number of fields. Many times acting look totally unrelated to the mood of story.

One good short story in this movie is 'Pooranmashi'. The main stars in this small movie are Amrita Singh, Minisha Lamba, Parmeet Sethi and Vishwajeet Pradhan. Pooranmashi is about relationship between a mother and daughter and is good one to watch in movie. Other good short films are 'Zahir' staring Manoj Bajpai and Dia Mirza and 'Rice Plate' staring Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah. The biggest drawback of the film is that audience finds it very hard to relate with the film, during the whole movie, we move from one unrelated theme to other unrelated theme and that with poor execution.

At the end it becomes very hard to tell that what we have actually watched in this movie and what is “Dus Kahaniyan” all about? Absence of good music also makes this movie further dull and boring. Though, “Dus Kahaniyan” has number of good messages like all people are same, life is small and respecting different religions with some solid dialogues but poor delivery make these points irrelevant. People even can find more good entertainment on the daily soaps running on the small TV.

Rating- 1/5

  1. 10 different stories. Good to watch it on small screen like tele-serials. Some stories really lack in most of the departments. Only a few look ok, rest are all scrap.
