Angst and heartbreak to remain relevant
5 May 2020
Har Kisse Ke Hisse Kaamyaab (Netflix) - It's true that the lead actors create the impressions that make movies memorable. It's the hero, heroine and villain that bask in the limelight, create a glorious career, make pots of money and leave a legacy behind. "Har Kisse..... Kaamyaab" is not about them though, it is about an artist Sudheer (Sanjay Mishra), an aged character actor who has done innumerable roles of a wide variety in his younger days, but has no achievement to boast about. He lives alone in an ordinary and old apartment in a sedentary life until one day during an interview he is told that he needs only one more film to reach his 500th appearance and that could be exemplary to the young generation of his home town. It isn't easy for him to reconnect and get his touch back - he is rusty, obsolete and fallen far behind in the race for recognition, but his ego feels bruised at the contemptuous attitude he faces at the hands of the new crop. It's for him to come to terms and settle down with reality.

It's Sanjay Mishra all the way - his diversity and flawless rendition fills the canvas for a wholesome entertainment. The first half is comical and lighthearted whilst the latter is thought provoking and serious, tugging at the heartstrings for the ageing professionals who have to run so much faster to stay relevant.
