    For a large part of this brief film nothing seems to be happening.At least, nothing that we can consider dramatic enough to be considered cinematic in the acceptable sense. As I watched Sarovar Banka’s understated dialectic on the dynamics of the diasporic dilemma I wondered how he convinced his actors to do the film!

  • Luckily, just like the lead character Ashok, the camera (cinematography by Amol Rathod) doesn’t capture the country like a typical tourist would, but more like one who treats it as a comfortable home with all its flaws. Worth watching once.

    A Decent Arrangement draws inspiration from Nagesh Kukunoor’s much acclaimed Hyderabad Blues but ends up being nothing more than a decent attempt at showing what has already been shown before.
