the
critically

Bollywood's
one
of
the
most
innovative
filmmakers
Bejoy
Nambiar
is

his
latest
offering
David.
David,
a
bilingual
thriller
is
set
in
three
time
periods
with
protagonists
who
share
a
common
name
'DAVID.'
The

of
an
impressive
star
cast
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh,
Vikram,
Isha
Sharvani,
Tabu
that
releases
in
both
Tamil
and

Story
The
story
revolves
around
the
lives
of
three
DAVIDS
in
three
different
parts
of
the
world
in
three
different
eras.
1975
London
-
30
year
old
David
works
for
Iqbal
Ghani,
a
dreaded
Mafia
don,
who
controls
the
entire
Asian
community.
He
is
a
protege
who
is
poised
to
take
over
the
empire
until
a
revelation
which
changes
the
course
of
his
future.
1999
Mumbai
-
A
19
year
old
David
is
a
musician,
born
into
a
family
of
devout
Christians.
He
is
a
happy
go
lucky
teenager
who
loses
all
semblance
of
his
peaceful
existence
when
his
family
gets
dragged
into
a
political
issue.
2010
Goa
-
40
year
old
David
is
a
fisherman
living
in
the
small
fishing
village
of
Betul
in
Goa.
He
falls
in
love
with
the
deaf
and
mute
Roma
-
the
only
hitch
is
that
she
is
engaged
to
be
married
to
his
best
friend
Peter
in
10
days!
Bejoy
Nambiar
successfully
creates
some
gripping
and
thrilling
moments
during
the
70s
and
80s
eras.
But,
some
how
fails
to
inter
connect
the
three
eras
in
the
film.
Spoilers:
The
plot
of
the
film
is
too
lazy
to
impress
the
audience.
It
might
simply
leave
you
yawn
and
dose
off
at
times.
Especially,
the
biggest
spoiler
is
Vikram's
part
in
the
movie,
where
he
falls
hopelessly
in
love
with
his
best
friend's
fiancee
Roma
(Isha
Sharvani).
The
era
in
Goa
seems
absolutely
irrelevant
and
disconnected
from
the
entire
plot.
Performances
Apart
from
his
great
looks,
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
also
delivers
an
impressive
performance.
We
get
to
spot
Mukesh's
improved
acting
skills
in
David.
Vinay
Virmani
fits
well
into
the
character
of
a
middle
class
musician
and
does
a
good
job
too.
Vikram
is
just
outstanding
in
the
film.
Isha
Sharvani
is
quite
a
stunner
in
the
film,
while
Monica
Dogra
looks
gorgeous.
Verdict
On
the
whole,
David
is
a
complete
'no
no'
for
those
who
aren't
too
keen
in
spending
time
and
money
for
dark
cinemas.
