After enduring some terribly horrifying shots by Bollywood, Kahani comes as a respite for the viewers who still dare to have faith in Abhinetas.
Director Sujoy Ghosh has wonderfully affirmed that big banners, foreign locations and dominating veterans are not all demanded by the desi janta.
Even a small budget movie shot amidst the core of India can satiate the taste of Bollywood fans.
The perfect backbone to this peachy plot was provided by Vidya Balan with yet another marvellous solo performance. After Paa, Ishqiya, No one killed Jessica and Dirty Picture, the actress has once again proved her mettle. She has gracefully conveyed the bare truth that costly wardrobes and item numbers are not the only elements that audience can expect from an actress.
The myth that a box office hitlist is almost impossible to score without a Khan or other big guns of the industry supporting an actress has been subtly broken by the lady protagonist of this movie.
No more can the critics claim that a movie within the Bollywood banner cannot be sustained with a solo female lead.

I hope the success of movies like Kahani, gets an understanding of the fact to Indian Directors, Actors and the entire Film Industry that Indian Cinema freaks do not expect some hogwash to gaze, over Popcorn and Coke each month just for the sake.
We would be obliged and quite content with even two such screenplays every year that have more of savory and limited extravagance.
gud sneah..u do sound like a critic :)
