Ranvir carries ‘Mithya’ with brilliance
ilm: “Mithya”; Cast: Ranvir Shorey, Neha Dhupia, Vinay Pathak, Irawati Harshe, Harsh Chhaya and Naseeruddin Shah; Director: Rajat Kapoor; Ratings: ***
Lucky are we, the famished cineastes, to get two films that merit more than a passing glance within one week - Rajat Kapoor’s “Mithya” and Rohit Jugraj’s “Superstar”.
Alas, no luck for the poor and damned Bollywood struggler VK (Ranvir Shorey) in Kapoor’s mellow, modern, mythic and mildly majestic “Mithya”.
Ranvir, who specialises in playing urban losers, plays the kind of Kafkaesque hero whose shoes you’d never like to be in. Unless you’re a sucker for misery, pain and doom.
Director Rajat Kapoor pieces together a melancholic, deeply metaphorical and yet straightforward tale of moral redemption.

"Everyone would love to miss ECKLL" - Neha Dhupia
"Everyone would love to miss ECKLL" - now when the lead actress of the film makes a statement like this, the makers of the film would certainly be caught shivering. But this time around, the statement is not meant to be taken literally since Neha Dhupia says so not for the film but the actual miss out of a train.
On being asked the reason behind making such a statement she laughs saying, "Yes, people would really-really love to miss their last local at 1:40 AM once they watch the film." And why is that so? "Haven't you read the punch line of the film which says - 'dhaaye ghante, dhaaye crore' [2.5 hours, 2.5 crores]?" she questions amusedly.
Well we have? "In that case let me tell you that the lead pair in the film gets richer by 2.5 crores due to the situations that arrive after they have missed their last local train at 1:40 AM. The manner in which they earn this money is so exciting that everyone would love to hop on to the journey as taken by them. And the only way to do this is by missing the train and living through the experience!"
