In its five-part anthology, Unposed mixes all the news from lockdown-related topics of isolation, loneliness, resilience, which have made headlines with average results in this terrible virus-ridden year. Each story is complementary to the other, and the way they are laid out is simple.
The film starts at a high point with glitches and ends better with Chand Mubarak. I liked the last two the most.
Coming into Gulshan Devaiah's film is his routine, picks yet another character and plays it so well that we can't even imagine touching anyone else. Ishwaq Singh's performance is a bonus.
Lilette Dubey never manages to spark happiness again with her appearance as a charmer. Full points for Rinku Rajguru to stand out not only among Lillet's aura but also for her tremendous talent. Abhishek Banerjee has always been an underrated gem for me in many films.
Ratna Pathak Shah plays the lone Maya Sarabhai in the film. My greatest path among this talented group of people is to become Shardul Bhardwaj. Acting opposite Ratna Pathak Shah is difficult and hopefully, you will notice. Shardul makes the most of the limited he gets.
Raj and DK take a modern route to tell their version of the story and love a lot about their world. Nikhil Advani is deep and basic to his story.
Tannishtha Chatterjee's Rat-A-Tat is dialogue-heavy, and its writing really helps keep the intrigue alive. Avinash Arun Bong is a small sub-plot from Bong-Jun-Ho's 'Parasite'. Nitya Mehra lets her characters do major lift-ups while keeping everything original. The background score is equally good in every story.
Beautifully lost with unprecedented performance, the anthology deserves more as a whole package.
