7 Khoon Maaf... well, i was wondering why 7 and not 6 or 8? Whatever, i think Vishal did not have any intentions of changing the no. (Even that he copied from Ruskin Bond). Though i really respect Vishal as a Music Director - Director, he has always gone a mile ahead to prove his capabilities and has shown his characters in a totally new, improved manner and more so as actors rather than just stars.
Priyanka Chopra was at her best in this movie, i am sure she would have already bought a rack for her awards. And if we talk about her seven husbands, Naseer saab, Anu Kapoor and Irrfan Khan are veterans in this profession so it was obvious to see that power of excellence but what amazed me was Neil Nitin Mukesh. Definitely, Vishal had worked brilliantly on his character and provided him with shades of grey; on the other hand, Neil did prove himself as an insecure MCP. Though i always thought John character could have been better, what a waste he was in this movie... n i even cried out saying O MAMMMAAAAAAA!!
Vivaan Shah was a surprise package; he was all there throughout the movie and proved his genes of acting. Even my inside girl kept on saying, "He looks cute!”. And then there was the brain behind this whole drama Mr.Ruskin Bond who made an unexpected and mysterious entry towards the end. I think he was there more to oblige to Vishal and definitely not to miss the chance of kissing somebody like Piggy Chops (n I wonder how many takes and re-takes would have been taken, isshhh).
Well, Vishal Bhardwaj has got that streak of perfectionism and innovation in himself that one can observe in his movies starting from the music he gave for Maachis and then moving on to Maqbool, Omkara and so forth. Even here, he tried making 7 khoon maaf as realistic as possible and eventually it even looked like. Believe me everybody after watching this movie would move out with a big question mark on their forehead, though the questions can wary depending upon the gender.
