Plot: the film is about music and self-exploration, and following your dreams and passions. Vicky Kaushal who was terrific in Masaan plays the lead role, with Sarah Jane Dias playing an important character in his journey.
Story:
The first half narrates the story of Dilsher played by the brilliant Vicky Kaushal. We are introduced to him as a child where he’s bullied in his small home town because of his stammer. Soon we get to know that he’s following his dream of meeting a business tycoon who left an impression on him as a child. There is a lot of back and forth with the storyline as we get involved in Dilsher’s life. The second half is interesting and definitely more musical than the first. Vicky owns every scene and makes it his own. Also Sarah Jane Dias is perfect for the part as this Bohemian girl who meets Dilsher and is attracted to his story.
Review:
As for the performances, the film rests majorly on the shoulders of its lead cast Vicky Kaushal and Sarah Jane Dias. ZUBAAN, which happens to be Vicky Kaushal’s second film (his debut being MASAAN), also sees him grow superlatively as an actor and also leaps and bounds to become the scene stealer of the film. On the other hand, Sarah Jane Dias, besides looking good, has also contributed immensely towards the film. Her performance in this film will definitely go down as one of her most memorable performances. The other actors too bring in top notch performances in the film, which helps the film’s progress in a smooth manner minus any guffaws.
Direction, music, and screenplay
The director, frames every scene with a lot of love. Mozez Singh, who makes his directorial debut with ZUBAAN is definitely a name to watch out for. The ease with which he packages and delivers a sensitive film like ZUBAAN is simply exceptional.
The film boasts of having some good music (Ashu Phatak, Ishq Bector, Shree D, Manraj Patar). Songs like ‘Dhruvtara’ and ‘Kori Pukaar’ stay with you for a long time. Rest of the songs are not that appealing, but that doesn’t hamper the show. The USP of the film’s music is that it has been integrated properly at the right juncture. The film has an extremely tight and engaging screenplay (Sumit Roy, Mozez Singh).
The last word:
On the whole, ZUBAAN comes across as a magnificent masterpiece of the recent times. Strong performances and extremely relatable screenplay will surely bring the audiences to witness the film that speaks about love, ambition, trust, faith and betrayal.
