Sujoy Ghosh is known for working on different topics. Be it Jhankar Beats or Home Delivery or Aladin, he has always taken different subjects and treated them in a very unorthodox style. Though his last outing Aladin was not much successful, this time he has surely hit the jackpot with Kahaani. Kahaaani is an amazing tale told in a unique manner. Not even a single frame of the movie allows you to take your eyes off. In the very first sequence we get to see Vidya (read Bidya) entering a city on the edge of a festival (Kolkata), in search of her lost husband Aanav. Vidya is the main protagonist along with other two main characters Rana (Parambrata Chattopadhyay) and Khan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). In a city where every one is trying to persuade Vidya that her husband does not even exists, one man that helps him out in the search is Rana. You have seen some splendid performances from Vidya in recent times especially in Bhool Bhulaya, Ishqia and The Dirty Picture but Kahaani is no doubt the best performances of Vidya Balan till date. The other two actors and even the supporting cast have done wonders. They all are so natural that you don’t even feel like watching some Acting. As the film starts you feel like watching a very simple tale (a woman in search of her lost husband) but slowly it turns out to be an epic thriller. Get ready for some sheer goose bumps in the middle of the story and I simply have no words for a great great climax. I can bet on it. One can never predict what the Kahaani has in its kitty for you in the climax. With a very appealing sound track and background score and some nice camera work along with a beautiful art direction, Kahaani is a complete package. If you love watching different cinema, Kahaani is for you.

With a storyline that literally drives you through Kolkata and its myriad colors, Kahaani leaves you humming – Ekla Chalo Re – long after its scheduled 2 hours. Everything about Kahaani leaves an impression – its realistic cast (Vidya – vulnerable yet determined; Rana – naïve yet passionate; Khan – crass yet commanding); unglamourous setting (real way of life); an unpredictable storyline that falls logically in place. True, Kahaan is a Balan movie through and through, but its Vidya Bagchi you see and hear and feel. Sujoy’s brilliance as a director is seen even in characters that were only meant to support the story – Chatterjee, the typical like-able inspector, Vishnu, the errand boy and his radio, Bob Biswas, the psychotic contract killer – all add to making Kaahani the story that it turned out to be. Worth mentioning is also the equally strong cinematography that absolutely shines in the climax, making Vidya assume a Goddess Durga type of charm. In anyone who has ever felt the loss of someone they love, Kahaani is totally capable of brining back feelings of desperation in one minute, hope in another, betrayal in one and of closure in the next. Strong emotions that the movie exudes, making it a must watch film for sensible movie watchers. Tragically, Kahaani is a type of film that would not be appreciated by the Masala loving audiences of Bollywood. 

excellent movie...very gripping...great acting by Vidya.

Saw 'Kahaani' today. A marvelous film in all respects. Kolkata has been captured beautifully, brilliant cinematography. A real gripping story and a worth applauding climax. My heart was beating way too abnormally fast all throughout the movie. :D Vidya proves once again that she's here to stay and has silenced everyone who dared to doubt her talent on winning the national award. This Kahaani shouldn't be missed. I can easily give it 4.5 stars. :)
