Strangers

Unconventional stories are being told on the Indian screen, thus
breaking away from the monotony. STRANGERS, directed by Aanand Rai, is
one such film. It charters a hitherto unchartered path altogether!
One may draw parallels with STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, but as layer after
layer is peeled off, you realize that STRANGERS travels on a different
track. But the problem is, STRANGERS caters to a very, very tiny
section of moviegoers -- intelligentsia. And that’s its biggest
problem!
Two men, complete strangers to each other and diagonally opposite
personalities, are travelling in a first class compartment in England.
The claustrophobia of a closed space and the coincidence that they are
both Indians, binds them to each other.
Mr. Rai [Kay Kay Menon], the management giant and Rahul [Jimmy
Sheirgill], a writer with a flop career, in their efforts to entertain
each other throughout the journey, drop clues and fill in the missing
pieces into stories that are never told unless, between complete
strangers. Four lives are put at stake and everything is about to
change…
The director gets major help from two major departments -- cinematography [splendid] and
background score [electrifying].
On the whole, STRANGERS is a well-made, intelligent thriller, but it
caters to a miniscule audience only. At the box-office, the
non-awareness of the film as also the non-happening promotion will hit
the film hard.

Yaad aaye wo din
Farishta nahin main
Jaane thi kaisi raho mein
Khwabon ki ek
Yaad aa gayi
Sulgi hui saansein meri
Main tera aks hoon
Baat kehne ko
Farishta nahin main-Remix
