Begum Jaan

Such a waste of a talented bunch of actors. And of Balan, who tries hard to invest some feeling into a role which turns into a cliché the moment the film opens.

Each scene feels consciously staged than unprompted and the flow from one sequence to the next is perennially jerky leading to way too much chaos on- screen.

Begum Jaan's place is more of a multicultural madhouse - full of screechy women that sound like they've escaped Arkham Asylums for Failed Actors from every region.

Watch this only if you are fan of Balan.
