He's an actor fobbing off a mid-life career crisis by whooping it up on screen. This role is quite a departure for the ever-careening actor. As the stranger riding into the dusty town, Anil fills up the battered wife's life with his exuberant anxieties. She takes her husband's tormenting brutality without a flinch, and yet goes out into the Goan sandscape to slither and slide to Vishal-Shekhar's raunchy tunes, returns home in time for another bout of self-deprecating roughing-up from her husband.Įnter Anil Kapoor.in more ways than one.

The wife, Sam, in "Musafir" is unlike any victimised heroine we've seen before. In the central role of a battered but not beaten wife, Sameera fits into Jennifer Lopez's role, creating a uniquely sensuous space for her character. He's electrifyingly inspired by Oliver Stone's film by that name. Having gone to Hollywood to source and sustain all his films, from "Aatish" to "Kaante", Gupta now takes a "U-Turn", literally. Sanjay Gupta's vision is as whacked out as the vision of a drugged trapeze dancer teetering at the brink of his disintegrating world. It gives us a gritty and violent world of deception and debauchery where none can be trusted, certainly not the creative visionary who stands at the helm of his murky universe of mean men and women. "Musafir" is certainly a grey and grim departure from conventional cinema. After the poetic, languorous and tender Dilip Kumar-Madhubala alliance in "Mughal-e-Azam" comes the leery, sordid and sadistic Mahesh Manjrekar-Sameera Reddy liaison in "Musafir".
