Review - LAMHAA



Yeh LAMHAA bahuth hi disturbing hai!

Kashmir - The Name itself makes you imagine of the snow valleys and the ice skates! A beautiful land (paradise on earth) wherein Hindi films romantic songs were picturised down the years. The most beautiful one being 'Roja' song - Yeh Haseen Wadiyan, Yeh Khula Aasmaan!
The same Haseen Wadiyan is been shown by Rahul Dholakia with shocking and breath taking moments in the film that deals with terrorism, politics, militants, CBI, Officers, Agents. Thats the issue here. The Kashmir issue. It was Parzania then by Dholakia that was disturbing and today its Lamhaa that is still disturbing.
The army gets wind of some big operation by militants in Kashmir. Its Election time and Dutt enters but in a disguise to investigate the polls, so that everything goes normal. Kher is the biggest leader in the state who has been guiding the state since Bees saal. Opposing him is his once right hand man and an ex-militant who has turned to peace, Kunal. Bips is been adopted by Kher. When the truth is revealed its a web of conspiracy that threatens to derail Kashmir's only hope and Bips love interest Kunal.
The film has lots of twists and turns that confuses the audience. But, technically the film is of International standard and deserves to be applauded and seen in festivals on the worldwide platform.
Sanjay, Kunal, Bipasha and Anupam are all excellent in their performances. Its Mithoon's song that keeps you haunted. And yes, Dholakia's film is actually disturbing!
