Raincoat

Mannu (Ajay Devgan) with a heavy heart and an empty wallet leaves his small town of Bhagalpur for Calcutta in an effort to raise money for his business. As he wanders around Calcutta he finds himself at the doorstep of Neeru (Aishwarya Rai), his childhood love...

Mr. Devgan is decent in this unusual stoic and pensive role which he underplays. Ms. Rai is breathtaking as always and even acts for a change. But the actor who steals the show is Annu Kapoor in his ten minute cameo. And while giving kudos let us not forget 0. Henry and Rituparno Ghosh without whom the film would not be possible.

Rating: * * * *
