‘Sirf Ek Banda Kafi Hai’ movie review
Director Apoorva Singh Karki has made the film based on the story inspired by the true incident of writer Deepak Kingrani. This film of about two and a half hours keeps you completely tied. Although most of the scenes in the film are from the courtroom, many shades of Manoj Bajpayee’s character have been shown in the film.
The film’s writer Deepak has developed Manoj’s character as a capable lawyer as well as a son and a father. The most important thing about the film is that a normal lawyer has been shown in a very normal way. He goes to the court on an old scooter. Drops the son to school too. He is definitely impressed by the big and famous lawyers who come to defend Baba, but on the basis of his arguments, he also makes them silent.
In the last few years, from films to web series, Manoj Bajpayee has left his mark. Once again, he has killed his best acting in a usually boring courtroom based film. He is seen engrossed in the role of a lawyer not only with his facial expressions and body language but also with his body language. Especially his closing speech in the court in the climax leaves you stunned.
Vipin Sharma, who fought the case opposite Manoj, has done a good acting, but the other big lawyers’ roles are not that much.
Why see- If you haven’t seen a good film with great acting in a long time, don’t miss this one.
