As we all know Vishal Bhardwaj's love for English literature, '7 Khoon maaf' is based on Ruskin Bond's short story 'Susanna's seven husbands'. Vishal Bhardwaj succeeds to set dark mood and Susanna's character. Audiences would be uncomfortable with pace of the film.
Susanna lives with her servants in a bungalow which is situated in Pondicherry. She marries with seven different husbands one after another with a reason. VB kept it as a mystery that whether she killed those her husbands or not. The ending of the film is not very organized. When we saw promos of the film, they were about a woman who kills her seven different husbands. We thought that the women would be suffering of any unusual disease. VB doesn't use any kind of disease to establish Susanna's character.
Priyanka Chopra has presence in every scene of the film. She never tries too loud to portray the character. She has done a good job. But the Susanna's character is too strong and complex to portray that you end up expecting more from the actress. VB had challenge to establish Susanna's character. He used deep well with full of poisonous snakes to represent Susanna's dangerous psyche.
Neil Nitin Mukesh got simple character but he is not experienced enough to portray it. John Abraham is forgettable. Irrfan Khan is as usual excellent especially in bizarre love making sequence. Aleksandr Dyachenko is just another foreign actor. Annu Kapoor delights you. He is real treat to watch after a long time. Naseeruddin Shah doesn't get enough space to show his skills. Vivaan Shah (Naseeruddin shah's son) looks like foreigner who has given subtle and satisfactory performance. VB always portray human emotions with rustiness, this is film is not an exception. You will be surprised by some of the guest appearances.
Cinematographer Ranjan Patil used dark tone to enrich the experience, when you get irritated by the pace of the film then it is the dialogs which grabs your attention. Music done by the VB is also suitable for the film. This film reminds me Kevin Costner's 'Mr. Brooks' where he is addicted to killing.
If you are fan of VB then this is film for you, don't miss it. If you really want to understand something new about films then go watch it. For others well...Cricket world cup started.
