7 Khoon Maaf, another adaptation by Vishal Bhardwaj;Ruskin Bond's "Susanna's Seven Husband" is a different and interesting movie.It starts promising with very first story involving crippled,impotent,arrogant and extremely possessive army man and our protagonist,Susanna.It develops on well and looks Susanna has real good motive to send him to after life.Although She is at the funeral of her husband ; at the very moment she is eyeing next guy lined up for story.Maybe it would have looked fair enough in case Susanna has been portrayed as cold blooded killer but not she again falls in love with the next man and kills him.Does she have good reasons to kill them? Most of the times, I would say YES she does.It goes on like this for more or less for next six hubby's of Susanna.
What looks odd is that Susanna does not looks like having any remorse after killing her so called husbands even though she is portrayed as one being in search of love and cares a lot for them. It is a part which is hard for me to digest. Also the script takes easier path rather than logical and various stories in the movie do not look inter connected and transition from one to another is not smooth, looks like director was in hurry of ensuring killings instead of intertwining them in storyline.
On acting front Priyanka does justice to the role of Sussana.Best performance of her career so far.Among the husbands we do have some notable well performing actors but they neither have the screen time nor the character development which can utilize their potential. It does have it funny moments which stand out, notable being one when Annu Kapoor thanks Priyanka after their first one night stand stating " Hum aapka ehsaan kabhi nahi bhoola payenge, Madame."
Summing up, it a thrilling dark comedy.It's a good watch.Decent job by Vishal Bhardwaj but does not live up to the standards he has already set.I have seen much better of him.
