Table No. 21 Review

One Line Review:This one is not only gonna thrill you, but also show you the ugly realities of life.

Positive points:A unique storyline; the surprise element; an unexpected climax; good direction; a deep social message.

Negative Points:Certain scenes evoking discomfort in the audience.

Plot:Married couple Vihaan (Rajeev Khandelwal) and Siya Agasti (Tena Desae), who are deeply in love are on a free trip in Fiji. On a surprise anniversary dinner hosted by their resort, they meet Abdul Razak Khan (Paresh Rawal), the resort owner. After quite a friendly conversation, the owner introduces the couple to a live game named 'Table No. 21', which is viewed by nearly eight million viewers on the internet worldwide. He entices the couple with greed of winning Rs 21 crore, with some stringent rules that they must follow.

For the couple, the game in the beginning seems to be an easy way to get rich. However, as the game progresses, they soon realize that this is not a game anymore. The game gets perverse and sadistic as it moves ahead. However at the end, the film unfolds a totally unexpected fabric of truth. The protagonists are confronted with their past.

What will be the consequence of this game? Where will the game take its players? Do they win or? This movie is definitely a must watch to unfold the mystery.

Performances:Actor Paresh Rawal has put an impressive performance in the film as the antagonist. You can see him in a completely different swagger and personality. He definitely doesn't fail to keep the audiences thrilled. Rajeev Khandelwal has also done quite a brilliant performance as expected. Tena Desae's performance isnt much of a delight.

Direction And Other Technical Aspects:Aditya Datt's direction is perfect which is indeed one of the key elements that make the movie worth a watch. Cinematographer Ravi Walia has ensured that each and every scene is shot with a perfect angle according to the prevailing situation in the film. One wont find much of music in the film, but the audience will surely find the song 'Mann Mera' in the film's beginning, very much likable.

Final Verdict:The movie is definitely good to watch with its thrills and twists, but its sadistic overtones can make on feel a bit uncomfortable.
