Rating:---
Released On:Dec 6, 2002
Hoping to get away from her implied upsetting reality, a lonely woman (Manisha Koirala) seeks solace in intermittent sexual escapades with her boyfriend, to be enjoyed in the privacy of her own apartment. Or so she thinks. Little does she know that she is performing in front of live audience, an infatuated Aditya (Aditya Seal), who's watching all her moves with the aid of a telescope, right from window of an apartment in the opposite.
Analysis :
"Ek Chhotisi Love Story" has all the potency for making it a taut, psychosomatic thriller: a provocative theme (voyeurism), a claustrophobic setting and a skyrocketing talent (Nair, Aditya and Manisha). But somehow the movie gives you the feel of a work-in-progress; very few things are strongly developed, and others remain little more than a mystery. For instance, the reason behind Manisha's glumness is never revealed in the movie.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The biggest flaw in the movie as I see turns out to be the plot's failure to capture the terror of voyeurism. The film never delves into the invasion aspect, the psychological horror of having every private moment stolen by a voyeur. The kinky thrill and allure of voyeurism are fully explored, but not its darker, more serious side.
