The movie “Sirf - Life Looks Greener on the Other Side “ tries to explore the relationship problems of couples who think that the other person whom they are meeting are more happy then their own but the movie doesn’t have any impact on the audience because the script seems to lack a powerful end to all the three hour long story.

The story of the movie is about four couples, first is financial well off but not strong in relationship, second couple is in need of finances but they have only love and have no money. The third couple is in search of security with their partners and fourth don’t have time for other.

The story is similar to the lives of people living in metro cities who are too busy with their money making prospect that they stake their relations and other personal needs and then the metro city lives of couples turns into messes of relationship. This looks similar to the movie “Life…in a Metro” but the clarity in the story of the movie “Metro” lacks in this movie. The script of movie Sirf is weak and it creates unexplained sequences to make the audience keep guessing about what’s happening. Many portions in the movie make the audience feel that the story is not moving forward.

The direction of the movie has been done by debutant Rajaatesh Nayar but script makes things go hay way. Music is not catchy but the cinematography by Baba Azmi is attractive.The performance of Sonali Kulkarni, Rituparna Sengupta, Ankur Khanna and Ranvir is as per the needs of the role. No errors can be found in the performance of these actors. Manisha, Parvin Dabas and Kay Kay are average in performance.

The movie has not been promoted well and the actors are not the dominating glamorous stars of bollywood who can bring audience to theatres. The script is weak and music is not a chartbuster. The movie will perform below average on the box-office.

Rating: 3/10
