Not that I was expecting porn (literally), but when you adopt porn writing as a subject, a little boldness is appreciated by the audience if not the censor board. Even the 2-3 sex/foreplay sequences are extremely mild and let me not talk about the camera work in these sequences. Publicity was amazing but the final result is lackluster, owing to the theme it talks about. Very poor handling of cinematography, editing, sound mixing, and art/setup departments.
Coming to sex, there is not much graphically verbal references maybe cringe-worthy for some but I can tell you they are bold enough and funny, at times. Screenplay is a tad slow but as the plot advances, the pace keeps up.
The lead actor does good work but I am more impressed with the actress who plays his sweet, innocent wife. His life goes upside down when competition and opposition from the society drives him into paranoia. The story is about an aspiring writer who ends up being the anonymous mastermind, only known as Mastram, behind the locally popular porn comics. And the dialogs & ounces of audio it has is either precise or garbled, failing to keep the audience hooked with the respect to the video it accompanies. But then, when I dived into the execution, I think I'll limit to a hand shake. I have to pat Akhilesh Jaiswal in the back for coming up with such a daring venture: to talk about porn writing of the 80s/90s when there was no easy access to kinky/imaginative porn. The message it tries to convey is a solid one.
