Don, done right.Directed by Rajat Kapoor, who played the smart part of things, make that, the extra-smart part of things, in the ripoff of 'Le diner des cons', 'Bheja Fry'.Casting his hero against type, he ensured that everyman, nee, every sidekick, Ranvir Shorey, headlined this one; with Naseeruddin Shah playing the heavy, with Vinay Pathak putting in one more of his powerful not-just-comedic performances, as the heavy for the heavy.Neha Dhupia, whose choice of roles such as this one, and her essaying the lead in 'Ek chalis ki last local', have endeared her to me, and not just a pin-up eye-candy, is fantastic as (more than just) the moll over here. In spite of most of its poignant plot- moves, that never quite stray into the predictable, staying more than a step ahead of its (Don-aware) audience, the abundance of dark humor in this one makes it one of the best repeat-watch noirs in movie history.As usual, vastly underrated and criminally un(der)seen, this one should (at least) become a cult classic, at the very least over here on UCMC.Buy the DVD a'ready.

Mithya is a movie produced by Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri and through his films he shows his creativity.I really like the way he presents his films.Mithya, a tragi-comedy , is film directed by Rajat kapoor. Rajat kapoor has really impressed in this movie though he didn't act in it..the story starts with showing how a simple man VK (ranvir shorey) tries his best to really make a mark for himself in the film industry. while attempting to really prove his mettle VK the simple man get caught into the web of murky underworld politics.This is the movie which shows the madness of all the characters in the movie,especially Ranvir Shorey.The story of the film is very different and its after a very long time that I saw a film like this one.

Mithya is a complete entertainment package and people must see this film just to see the superb performance by all,specially Ranvir in a double role this time. The film starts with about how a simple man VK (Ranvir Shorey)tries his best to really make a mark for himself in the film industry. while attempting to really prove his mettle VK the simple man get caught into the web of murky underworld politics. He is cleverly manipulated by Nasserudin shah, Shaurabh Shukla and their allies.the background music is wonderfully done. Mithya is for people who love watching different types of film.The script is very crisp and fresh. there are comic relief and the film doesn't drag unnecessarily.

Mithya is one of the many films directed by Rajat Kapoor with a very different storyline.The film stars Ranvir Shorey,Neha Dhupia,Naseeruddin Shah in it.The story of the film deals with the life of underworld in Mumbai.It is about how Ranvir,who comes to the city to make a career is trapped in the wild life of the underworld.We have seen Ranvir in comic roles most of the times.But every time he leaves behind his last role and plays better.This is what he did in this one as well.I have seen him in many film.Be it the latest IM 24 or Ugly aur pagli,he is simply brilliant.I should say,when it comes to comic,he is among the best in business at the moment.I watched Mithya just because of him and happy that I watched it because it is a very well made film with elements of thriller, suspense and comedy. I love watching movies with unique stories.This film is one of them.No superstars no huge casts but Mithya is one brilliant film that must be watched.
