Overview: It’s Story of love & Tragedy weaved with revenge , crime and violence
Storyline: O’Romeo revolves around hit man of Mumbai Ustra ( Shahid Kapoor) who works for Ismail Khan (Nana Patekar )and they run an empire based on violence and Killings , Ustara used to work for the fugitive gangster, Jalal (Avinash Tiwary) and after their fallout, Khan has given Ustara protection. In return Ustara does his dirty work nwell under the protective eyes of his Grand Mother played by Farida Jalal , Twist come when Ustra is offered a Supari by Afshaan ( Tripti Dimri) to kill big wigs , some of them are part of his clan , Ustra refuses to accept Supari to kill initially but when Afshaan takes it upon herself to kill those big wigs to seek revenge as her husband was killed by them .Afshaan in her desperation to seek revenge was on the verge of getting killed but Ustra saves her , from thereon their journey of love and revenge begins , alongwith some poetic approach as Ustra has fallen in love with her , guns and roses is what forms the crux of the film
Technical Review : The combination of Vishal Bharadwaj and Gulzar and Shahid Kapoor gives an explosion of action and poems , Expectations were high after the combination gave us Hyder and Kaminey but in this movie first half will test your patience as story developes brick by brick and silences speak but second half is good and challenging. Music by Gulzar is outstanding.
Performances: Shahid Kapoor delivers a performance that reminds us why he is Bhardwaj’s ultimate muse. His Romeo is jagged, broken, and dangerously quiet. Something shifts in his DNA organically when Shahid Kapoor enters Vishal Bhardwaj’s world as Ustraa. Too loud at times and still having eyes that haunt in silences. Shahid pulls off both emotions with such finesse!
Tripti Dimri has done a role is not the conventional lover but she is revenge seeking damsel who is not distressed but full of vengeance
Avinash Tewary as antogonist owns the frame and looks powerful as the villain of this love-revenge drama!
Nana Patekar and Farida Jalal are under utilized
Final Words : It’s a dark , poetic and voilent movie
Ratings : 3*/*5
