Abhay Deol has yet again proved his worth in this industry which has most of its stars set in roles with below the belt comedies. Manorama- 6 Feet Under --- at first go the title seems to be a bit weird and does not give anything away about the kind of movie that it was to be. It is only after watching it - would you probably appreciate it.
Set in a small town of Rajasthan, being directed by debutante Navdeep Singh, who is well known for his award winning ads, shot this film in 52 days flat which is rare. This film is truly first-of-its-kind dark comedy about an amateur detective in a small town who gets caught in a web of lies, trickery, deceit and murder. The entire plot is set in a sleepy town of Rajasthan, where the only mode of entertainment is perhaps peeping into other's lives.
Performances by Raima Sen, Gul Panag, Sarika, Kulbhushan Kharbanda & Vinay Pathak make the movie worth a watch.

Special mention to Vinay Pathak who plays the role of a "corrupt" cop which is not unfamiliar!!! But as expected of him and this character, audience would love the humour and cynicism. He is the mirror for Abhay Deol to see the real picture, someone, who tries to make Abhay's character see the reality - which is obviously revolting. So much that you wish he had a longer role.
Gul panag is perfect to the T-- a wife who is gnawing but at the same time, loves her husband and her family more than anything.
Raima Sen needs a good lesson in Hindi. She looked beautiful, and stunning in the Aquarium scene.
The other characters though not so famous, or should I say lesser known faces also add to the flavour of Rajasthan with the goons competing with each other as to decide who is better off than each other. It's good to see unknown faces acting and mouthing such real-to-life lines.
Shot sleekly, with hardy any special effects, the Director of Photography - Arvind Kannabiran, makes Rajasthan look so beautiful..that you want to be there. This means that this film brings together stalwarts of the advertising world to test their talent in the world of cinema.
The film keeps you engrossed to quite an extent but after the interval it becomes slightly dheela. Loses its grip but picks up soon.
This film is definitely not for those who are used to the slapstick comedies that Bollywood is dishing out by tons, who are used to seeing sci-fi, action thrillers - but for those who yearn to see something different-- Go and watch it. Really nice film...has some flaws..but then who said Navdeep had to be a Spielberg!
