Casting: Emraan Hashmi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Huma Qureshi, Kalki Koechlin
Dictireon: Kannan IyerRating: ****
To be honest, I was a bit weary when walking in for ‘Ek Thi Daayan’, another Bollywood horror flick and the director Kannan Iyer among his other noticeable work had co-written RGV’s ‘Daud’. However, what lured me to watch the film was the fact that it boasted of some awesome collaboration; Konkona Sen Sharma playing the female lead, music by Vishal Bharadwaj, lyrics by Gulzar and the original short story had been written by Mukul Sharma (Konkona’s father).
Konkona is back on the big screen after a brief hiatus and she has just got better. She had said in her interview that she had enjoyed playing a dark, twisted character and it is quite obvious. The way her character evolves from the kindly governess, it is like watching each layer peel away to reveal a completely new layer of the talented actress. Konkona is a dusky seductress – gentle and vicious at the same time, essaying an uninhibited performance that is worthy of praise. Sometimes, only her eyes speak, especially in the scene where she is offended by Little Bobo’s outburst, she says nothing but her eyes well up and she walks away, despite your many suspicions, you feel for her.
