The movie overall is good, I would have rated it 8, but there are many things which put me off and kind of made me feel it's touching upon the pretentious artsy movies as many are doing lately.
1. Cinematography is good but it's deliberate in many occasions just for the sake of it or make it seem it's art film as such. Be it driving bike while listening to record on an empty "MUMBAI" streets. You see its good but!
2. Story is good but it doesn't have a realistic aspects of how musicians struggle and how the whole life circle is. As in from child to youth there is shift acceptance of being blind following of a rigid practices and "I know everything about singing" to revelations and building a company. All these makes it too deliberate story writing without truly understanding the core of music as an art or even it's struggle or how even business is or character arc is. It's like trying everything to make it work for the theme approach. Externally it looks beautiful, deep down the psychological aspects fails the movie 3. Music, singing is pretty good and that's commendable. There is no doubt about that.
4. Slow pace is over stretched and it might come across pretentious artsy films, but the core of lack of psychological aspects bugged me more than this, because many can do long takes just deliberately to act cool without any intent. But atleast in this log takes are fine in a way as it slightly leans to silent movie.
Overall it's decent movie, I wouldn't call it masterpiece as such, could have been 7 , even 8 but , there is a movie called "UZAK(Distance)". Watch that movie, you will know the character of existentialism of similar nature. It seems like that character from Uzak was made this Indian film.
