I have to admit that I saw this film at least 3 months after the release. I do feel bit sad not to see this film in theater as I always believe good films deserve the audience in right way. Dasvadania - Goodbye in russian. There are very few film-makers and artist who view the cinema in very pure, innocent, straight forward and hearty way. Vinay Pathak is indeed a top in that league. He has made this film in his own way - it's Vinay Pathak from start to finish. The story, narration, script and presence is very simple, cute, innocent and bit silly (in good way) at some places. It's a story of a middle-age guy who suddenly discoveres his life is 3 months affair. Till this time he never realises what he was missing in the daily routine of common man - where one always give away its happiness and live supressed from others. Amar, rather than fighting with the death - he chose to win over the life. He lists 10 things in his life he would like to do before he die. Well, these are the dreams of very simple man who do not have overcomplicated dreams OR wishes. He chose to list down the things he always wanted to do but never accomplished. Let it be his childhood love Neha where he admits his love without saying a single word, OR going to foreign (Russia) and meet his best friend. In the way, he also discoveres a true love in form of russian call-girl. The story is represented in very soothing, simple and cute manner. Even after his death he gives away so much to his people that everyone would remember him after his death if not when he was alive. On bit flip-side direction / presentation does seem bit outdated and over-cute in some cases - but it's the honesty that stands out. Story no-where intended to gain sympathy for him but rather to fall in love of that character. The music does flow with film very well. The cinematography and other technical aspects could have been bit better - but it's the heart and soul of the film overshadow these things. Vinay Pathak carries the whole film on his shoulders. His honesty, truthness and nature scores over the otherwise very predictable story. It's the normal Vinay Pathak gang works out very well in small roles. I will go with 3.5 out of 5 for Dasvadania; watch it if you wants to see the missing honesty and soul in normal masala films. Sarang

Long Ago I thought that why does not a film like this release? 14th nov changed my thought in2 reality. I was sure that this kind of film will not collect much from audience but this is very beautiful in other eyes. The main fact which is - "Live Before Death" defeats many films in facts. Although in my own words - "I Love This Movie".

Simple Story about a Simple Man. Enchanting!!! Vinay Pathak just keeps on amazing with his acting skills. He reminds me of the magic that Farooq Sheikh and Amol Palekar created in the early 80s with simple stories and outstanding acting. I think most of us can identify with Amar Kaul in one way or the other. Neha Dhupia whom I never thought of as an actress looked beautiful without her make-up and player her sweet cameo beautifully. Rajat Kapoor and all others were equally good in their roles. Neha's episode was my favorite when he acknowledges love for her in the rain. Also the Russian girl did well. All in all, everything was perfect for me in this movie with no overly-done melodrama. Beautiful movie!!  

its simply good.

In times when the big banners disappoint and the obvious ones turn out to be the unexpected, a film played its subtle chords and rendered itself in the most touching manner to leave the viewer pleased, satisfied and moved. ‘Dasvidaniya’ achieves more than what the big films fail to. Loosely based on the premise of Anand and Bucket List, Dasvidaniya (Russian for ‘Goodbye’) is an inspiring film that is not even epic in proportions mainly due to its simple nature and outstanding performances with Vinay Pathak being the unequivocal re-discovery of the year. This film is a surprise…. And a very pleasing one. Amar Kaul (Vinay Pathak) is the symbolic ‘loser’. The below average introvert who always gets pushed around or dominated, neglected and lost in the very simplicity of life with aspirations hidden behind the veil of the mundane routines of his life. He is your most unfashionable accounts manager in a private company whose insatiable boss simply reminds Amar of his lowly existence. At home, his half deaf mother lives with a struggling remote to the soap opera infected T.V., always whining, always complaining. While Amar’s life is what one can easily identify with because we have known such ‘losers’ in life, we are surprised by his humble and tolerant nature to the events and people in his life. One day, he discovers that his life will no longer be the same as it has been and before it gives up on him, he should live it up to the very end. ‘Iske pehle ki life tumhe kha jaaye, tum zindagi ko pee jaao’ is what was suggested to him at a bar. Amar’s self appears in front of him and reminds him that fixing the bathroom geyser or putting new batteries in the T.V. remote are not items worthy of his life’s list of things to do. Thus, Amar enlists 10 real aspirations and pursues each one with all that he has. Debutant director Shahant Shah leaves us overwhelmed with his presentation style that makes the film classy in its own sense while being simple enough with the story telling. The film just flows through to your heart effortlessly and it strikes the right chord that will leave you with a lump in the throat at times or giggling away at the jokes it throws at you. As Amar sets out on his journey to accomplish his aspirations, he faces challenges that throw the reality of life at him but his spirit of living it up enables him to confront that reality with a smile. The subtlety connects to your emotional side and you fall in love with the simpleton ‘loser’. While the film centers around Vinay Pathak, who leaves us astounded with the most remarkable and definitive performance of his career as well as this year, Neha Dhupia is refreshing as Amar’s childhood love, his ‘chaddi’ pal Rajiv (Rajat Kapoor) is at his fine form yet again after the duo split us in laughter in Bheja Fry, Sarita Joshi plays the role of the eccentric mother convincingly with just a few shades of overacting when her son buys a new car…. .Vivek, the estranged brother, the boss played by Saurabh Shukla, Ranvir Shorey as the funky frequenter at the bar and Joy Fernandes in a convincingly hilarious role of ‘Savio’, the Guitar teacher. Kailash Kher’s melodies are soothing and suit the film’s different moods. The script, dialogues and screenplay with the touch of humour make this film a pleasant story rather than a serious drama and Shashant Shah’s direction simply puts all the fine elements together to portray this touching tale in the finest presentation format. Hearts will be warmed with the subtle touches, tears will be shed for the resemblances, laughter will roar after funny dialogues and while one acknowledges the pleasant aspects of this film, the revelation of Vinay Pathak’s finesse will only add to the cherishable experience of Dasvidaniya. - 9.09 on a scale of 1-10.
