Review: DAVID (2013)
A good one, David fails to beat the Goliath though
Score: 6/10
David is a story of three lives in three generations that at the end
cross each other's path. Bejoy Nambiar has directed this visually
appealing and musically soothing movie in an attempt to hit the dart
which he failed last time even after the exhibition of some fine
artistic prowess in "Shaitan". At times joking, at times fighting and
at times crying, it tries to say the same old story of revenge and love
with slightly different recipe.
Neil Nitin Mukesh's David is a man-of-few-words-David, and may be the
best story in all three. This one with its black n white tone sets the
gritty mood right away. The actors here have acted their part well and
even the story keeps you with it. A crime drama, which has its own set
of twists brought to screen beautifully.
Vinay's David is a wanabe-rockstar-David. This one's a drama which
could have been easily better with the potential the screenplay carried
but the unconvincing portrayal by Vinay put it all off since the story
fully rests on him. One as an audience will find it difficult to
empathize with his character even when this is supposed to be more
painful than the other two.
Finally Vikram's David is the drunkard David who is hated by his
neighborhood for his unruly nature. Clearly not Vikram's best, he still
has given something to the role which wasn't enough. The story tries to
be funny with its unconventional screenplay like his dead father
(Sourabh Shukla) coming to visit him after taking over a living
person's body, randomly. The screenplay seems dragged and useless in
many places.
