Mandar's movie review
"Nail Polish (नेल पॅालीश)"
Watched Hindi movie "Nail Polish (नेल पॅालीश)".
This movie is directed by Bugs Bhargava. Produced by Pradeep Uppoor, Seema Mohaptra, Jahanara Bhargava, Dhirajj Vinodd Kapoor. Writers Bugs Bhargava, Krishna. Music by Sanjay Wandrekar. Cinematography by Deep Metkar. This movie stars Arjun Rampal, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Manav Kaul, Madhoo, Anand Tiwari, Rajat Kapoor. This movie was released in 2021 and runs for about 2 hour 8 min. I watched the movie on Zee5 on 16th Jan 2022.
Veer Singh, ex armed forces spy and a sports coach, is arrested for a series of abductions of migrant children, sexual assault and subsequent murder. He is beaten in jail and loses memory. One day memory resurfaces, but the memories are not of Veer but of Ritu Raina, a female.
Arjun Rampal plays defense lawyer Siddharth Jaising. He is good. Rajat Kapoor is the judge. Madhoo plays his drunkard wife. Sameer plays DCP. Anand Tiwari plays Public Prosecutor. His reactions appear over the top. Manav plays Veer. In the first half he plays a respected and wrongly accused citizen in second he plays a lady. This movie gives his acting some latitude.
The question is if Veer has Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or is he faking. How to determine it? Judge has to make most important decision that ensures justice in either case. But how?
The judgement that comes towards the end of movie satisfies all. But the director can't remain impartial. He chooses one side over other. He can't resist the temptation to shock the audience.
What is the significance of drunkard wife of the judge? It has nothing to do with the story.
Why is the movie titled Nail Polish? The title isn't integral to the story.
Positives: The judgement.
Negatives: Significance of title.
A good movie. Recommend watching.
