Review By:Kriti Verma
'Dasvidaniya' – for all our readers could seem strange, however, it is a virtue to 'bid adieu' and that too in Russian. Released on this Friday, the film is directed by Shashant Shah and boasts of some hilarious performances by Vinay Pathak, Rajat Kapoor and Sarita Joshi.

The plot revolves around simpleton Amar Kaul (Vinay Pathak) who gets diagnosed with stomach cancer. As a matter of fact, he has hardly few months left of his life. He soon realizes that till now he has wasted his life and decides to fulfill his long cherished dreams and aspirations in the last days of his life. He comes up with a 10 Point formula and eventually makes all of them come true. He brings a new car, expresses his love for his childhood friend Neha (Neha Dupia) who is now married, goes on a foreign trip and plans to meet his childhood friend, settled abroad. The film summaries that what are those things that one would like to do when life comes to an end.

The film could seem inspired from Hrishikesh Mukherjee's 'Anand'. Although the narration and treatment to the subject are quite different. The movie has some impeccable scenes and moments when one gets captured by sheer brilliance of Vinay Pathak, the man himself. But overall, it becomes quite slow in the proceeding and ends up being almost predictable. Also, the direction is just average.

Ranvir Shorrey leaves his mark in a cameo. Rajat Kapoor excels in his performance. Stage veteran Sarita Joshi as Vinay's mother is quite good. Saurabh Shukla as Vinay's boss and Gaurav Ghera as Vinay's brother are also good. Music by Kailash Kher is distinct and two of the movie's songs could be said to have been composed really well.

Not stretching it too far, the film is good in patches and viewers must give it a try.
