Being Cyrus

But for the dark, funny tone and the atmospheric Parsi feel, Being Cyrus resembles most other “…enters the lives of…but with a dark secret” kinda films. Many intriguing shots and the dream sequence are reminiscent of similar European thrillers. Saif seems to sleepwalk through the role while Naseeruddin Shah seems largely uninterested. You walk out remembering Boman’s Farooq and Manoj Pahwa’s verbal diarrhea. The film manages to alienate viewers by extending the initial confusion. Even though Homi does come to the point sometime into the movie, the long route to that point seems to be the film’s undoing. Sparsely interesting.

Keywords: Saif Ali Khan, Homi Adajania, Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia, Parsi
