Plot :The
film's story centres around the life of a mathematic teacher Meera (Mandira),
who is love with cricket and Anil Kumble. She belongs to middle class
Maharashtrian family and her single status is a cause of concern for her family,
which consists of a brother (Mahesh Manjrekar), an embittered former cricketer,
who has been forced to give up his passion for the more practical pursuit of
money and economic stability. Into Meera's life enters Dr Arjun, who is willing
to accept Meera with all her eccentricities. He is even willing to play second
fiddle to her first love, cricket. In fact, her passion about the game makes her
actually turn up late for her own engagement, as she arrives after watching a
cricket match.
Despite interweaving cricket into the main fabric of the film, it does nothing
to lift the tedium of the film. The fanaticism of Meera is a little too far
fetched to be believable. Also there are just too many loopholes in the script
and one fails to emotionally connect with it. Meera and her passion for cricket
and Kumble is amusing, but only upto a point. It's important to not only have a
novel idea but to also be able to weave an interesting story around it. However,
the director and the writers of the film are unable to do that. Also, despite
the presence of Kumble and a cricket mad Meera, the film is not really about
cricket. The interesting portions of the film are mostly in the second half,
specially the sequences between Manjrekar and Ejaz. The dialogues are not at all
bad. In fact, there is a certain kind of tongue in cheek humor there as well,
which peps up the proceedings. The film's music is mediocre, except for the
first track, which is the promotional song of the film.
Of the cast, Mandira Bedi is definitely the life of the movie. She acts her part
with full zest and enthusiasm. She is ably supported by Ejaz Khan, who is
impressive and definitely warrants many more chances. Anupam Kher is great as
always. No matter what the length of his role, he always delivers a flawless
performance. Mahesh Manjrekar, however has hardly anything to do in the scheme
of things, except towards the end. The presence of Anil Kumble does not add any
value to the film. The cricketer is definitely not very comfortable in the
medium manages to play it with a straight bat.
One just wishes that Kulkarni had invested a little more creativity in this
film. The novel idea could have been mapped out better and provided for many
more laughs. The way it comes across, Meerabai Not Out seems to be a wasted
effort. Also, what is a cause for concern, is the subversive manner in which the
message is delivered about the impossibility of a woman being cricket crazy.
That acts as a further dampener to the movie. |
