It is your story. No! Its 'our' story! It is Touching,
It is heart breaking and if it drives you down the memory
lane - that is 'Good Night | Good Morning'
Its a surprise package. Its a Lovely and a Lively conversation
film. Its got Terrific writing, credits to Sudhish Kamath
and Shilpa Rathnam and a Amazing Screenplay with Perfect
Casting. I can easily say this is the 'Most Daring movie
ever made'! Its a 'Must Watch'.
I am going with 4/5!
Here is the Synopsis of the film -
'Good Night Good Morning is a black and white, split-screen,
conversation film about two strangers sharing an all-night
phone call on New Year's night.
Driving from New York to Philadelphia with buddies,
calls the enigmatic girl staying alone in her hotel
room, after a brief encounter at the bar earlier in
the night.
The boy has his baggage of an eight-year-old failed
relationship and the girl has her own demons to fight.
Scarred by unpleasant memories, she prefers to travel
on New Year's Eve.
An all-night phone call becomes a surreal, dream-like
experience. Especially when the limited validity of
the adventure gives you the freedom to be who you want
to be.
Anonymity could be comforting and such a situation could
lead to an almost romance. Or something like it.'
Manu Narayan (as Turiya Omprakash) and Seema Rahmani
(as Moira) - Top Notch Acting, perfect chemistry between
the leads. Oh Wait! What chemistry are you talking about
when they dont see each other through out the film?
Yes, Even though they dont see each other, there is
this Excellent chemistry between them. After watching
the movie, you will definitely agree with me.Raja Sen
(as JC) was fantastic. Vasanth Santhosham (as Hussein)
was good. People involved in Casting - You are one of
the reason for Film's Success!
Script is simple and straight and its got to be that
way (as said in the film). It is well written. Dialogues
are funny, touching, heartbreaking and to top it all,
it is very natural and subtle. Screenplay is Brilliant
and Well-etched and you become a character in the film.
Credits to Writer Shilpa Rathnam and Sudhish Kamath.
Direction - You got to congratulate Sudhish Kamath for
choosing such a daring theme and Pulling it off in Style!
Overall, Fabulous Job.
When was the last time you watched a Black & White
movie? Yes, Sudhish Kamath's Good Night | Good Morning
is 80% Black and White and Cinematographer Nischalakrishna
Vittalanathan's work stands out. Nice Lighting and Perfect
Framing. He makes the movie look Rich with the Black
& White tone.
Editing by Vijay Venkataramanan, M. Venkatram and Murugesh
Thevar works for me! It was Slick and Crisp. He is also
another reason for movie's success. Music by Ray Guntrip
Feat. Tina May | Manu Narayan & Darunam | Blues
Conscience Feat. Sudeep is a Big Plus. Outstanding Background
score takes the movie to another level. Costumes by
Shilpa Rathnam are ok. Other crew members hard work
is evident and they deserve a huge applause.
I also see a lot of Pre-Production has gone into making
this film a grand success. Job well done!
Good Night | Good Morning is way(^as many) better than
many mainstream Indian films! It is a Writing Masterpiece.
Exceptional Writing. It is a Great moment for Indian
Indie-Filmmaking Fraternity. I was So happy to see everyone
glued to their seats for the Q&A. That was the impact
the movie had on the New Yorkers!
