Well Done Abba Movie Review

Well Done Abba-  Witty political satire

Rating: 3 out of 5*

Starring: Boman Irani, Minissha Lamba, Sameer Dattani, Rajit Kapoor,  Ila Arun, Ravi Kissen, Salim  Ghouse and Sonali Kulkarni

Director: Shyam Benegal

The story is about Armaan Ali (Boman Irani) who works as a driver in  Mumbai. Armaan takes leave from his work and goes to find a suitable  groom for his daughter. But, he reaches office only after three months.  His boss becomes irate and asks for an explanation otherwise he will get  him sacked.

Benegal's Well Done Abba is a sweet gem that works despite no big names.  A very witty film that's very well written (by Ashok Mishra) packing in  many things together that are relevant to today's society. The  satirical humour may not exactly be of the laugh out loud variety but it  manages to keep you smiling throughout the  film.

Well Done Abba is not your usual comic fare.  This Shyam Benegal gives a strong message without compromising on its  entertainment quotient. Do watch this one.

After scoring a hit soundtrack for blockbuster film “3 Idiots”, composer Shantanu Moitra returns with a different style in  Shyam Benegal’s “Well Done Abba”. The songs are not over the top, they simple and hummable.

On the whole, Moitra has done a good job with the music of “Well Done Abba” and has composed tunes that generate interest among the listeners.
