"Sirf," directed by Rajaatesh Nayar shows us a concept that tends to
apply to our competitive modern-day society: Sometimes we think that
the other side of the grass is greener when the person on the greener
side is looking at us. Did this movie do a good enough job of executing
this concept? Not wonderfully, but except for a couple of flaws, it is
pretty good. Anyways, the movie's all about these four couples of
different socioeconomic backgrounds living in the same city in India,
and they are all connected. How? Well, the movie starts off with the
economically unfortunate couple, who meet the middle class couple and
envy them, and the middle class people meet the upper middle class
people and envy them and it goes on and on and on There are a few
points when the higher class people envy the lower class people
though Anyways, as it turns out, all couples are facing challenges of
their own and the movie does a good job of clearly showing us what
these problems are, and the problems are quite practical. But something
that I felt was really lacking was quality entertainment. "Sirf" drags
way too much and at times, tries to incorporate the clichés of Indian
drama instead of making it about real people.

Bollywood has yet to surprise us for the year 2008. After Taare Zameen
Par, we have seen nothing to quench the thirst of cine-goers. Well, for
those of you who are planning to watch Sirf, it isn't all that bad or
let me say, not as bad as Tashan. It is the story about unfulfilled
dreams. It is the story about not so content people, who are just not
satisfied with the way things are in their life. It is also about
breaking away from the monotony of one's life in such a way that it can
ruin one's life. This movie could have been executed better, but the
acting of Ranvir Shorey, Kay Kay Menon and Sunali Kulkarni has
certainly made it a watchable movie!!!!
