Boring. Slow. Directionless. These are some of the keywords that sums it all up for Nautanki Saala. A director-actor Ram played by Ayushman is going on fine with his life when he comes across Mandar played by Kunal Roy Kapur, a random person trying to commit suicide on some Mumbai road. As depicted, Ram is an extremely nice person with a heart of gold but has the habit of lying too as an actor. This lands him into a lot of trouble with his personal life as he tried to help out Mandar to get hold of his life again.
The storyline is quite flat with no twists or surprises or thrills. The only thing that could have saved it would have been a flawless screenplay to bring life with some funny highs and one liners at regular basis or I should say at every damn moment possible. But a rather poor screenplay results in almost no flare whatsoever. There were moments but they were so few and so shortlived that they didn't help a bit. Rohan Sippy seemed to have no clue whatsoever on how to progress and even how to wrap it up. Aayushman and Kunal Roy Kapur did fine with their parts while Pooja Salvi was highly forgettable and had some sort of fixed expressions for most of her scenes.
Music was the only saving grace apart from a few good one liners that bring small smiles amidst highly boring proceedings. A very skippable movie.
Overall verdict: 3.5/10
