Direction and Technical Aspects
The deft writing of Avinash Singh and Vijay Narayan Verma is evident in the satirical touch added to the story that is quite contemporary and appealing. The underlying dark humour handled brilliantly by the director Ashish Shukla makes this film stand apart in this genre.
The movie has some old song remixes giving it a nostalgic feel along with the beautiful scenic beauty of Varanasi. Moreover, the raunchy and raw environment got elevated as it was shot in sepia mode laced with quirky musical numbers which tried to bring back the quintessential 70s feel with the remix of an old peppy song.
The OTT flick has the classic old masala movie feel along with a story that is gripping enough till the end. This was made possible by Mannan Munjal’s effervescent background score along with slick editing by Suchitra Sathe and excellent camera work by Parasher Baruah. They deserve all the credit for making Bahut Hua Samman a refreshing watch.
