RAGHU ROMEO

===RAGHU ROMEO===
 Tushar K. Shukla
A simpleton bartender who has nothing but a dream that he lives his life
for. A dream that he sees in form of Neeta, the sitcom protagonist who is
the love of his life. Sweety, the bar dancer has a soft corner for Raghu
who is too involved and preoccupied with the thoughts of Neeta and his own
private world of fabricated reality to think about anything or anyone
else. Brother, the goon has to kill Neeta as part of one of his
assignments in his job as a hit man. Brother, on Sweety's insistence,
keeps Raghu as his partner in crime as Raghu is kicked out of the bar job
when found stealing money to buy a birthday present for his lady love.
Raghu, oblivious of Brother's hideous plans accompanies him to where they
are supposed to kill Neeta, but on seeing her he saves her life. She
however thinks he is an aide in the felony and whacks him on the face. Not
disappointed by this incident, Raghu manages to abduct her and takes her
to Sweety's uninhabited two-room flat. What follows this ordinary sounding
story is a magical play of emotions by the protagonist. A simple yet
moving film that aptly captures the small town mentality of switching off
from the rut by dreaming surreal dreams. The movie leaves a lot to the
imagination, it could have left some more though. Sometimes you feel why
is it so descriptive, but later you thank the way it was made, an
unconventional story shot in a conventional way that drives home the point
in a contrasting manner, very creative and original. How the sensitivities
and aspirations of Raghu have been etched, is a high point of the movie.
Good stuff.
