Starfish Review: Khushalii Kumar Shines In This Visually Beautiful Film 

Starfish Review: Khushalii Kumar, who made her acting debut with Dhokha: Round D Corner, will next be seen in Starfish which is all set to hit the big screens tomorrow. The movie also stars Milind Soman, Ehan Bhat, and Tusharr Khanna. While the trailer and the songs have received a decent response, is the film worth a watch? Find out in our review below...

Starfish is about Tara (Khushalii Kumar) who stays in Malta with her family and is a diver. Due to a disturbed past, she gets panic attacks and is mentally stressed. Meanwhile, she meets Aman (Tusharr Khanna) and starts dating him. But, a fight takes place between them, and later Tara meets Neil (Ehan Bhat) and falls in love with him. Well, her love life is a bit messed up and plus she is having a trauma of the past. How Tara manages her life forms the rest of the story...

The movie is based on a book named Starfish Pickle by Bina Nayak and it is directed by Akhilesh Jaiswal. The film starts off very well but starts losing its grip in between, however it once again picks up during pre-interval portions. While the first half is average, the second half is better and the climax might leave you surprised.

Starfish could have been a better film if the screenplay and the narration were tighter. It's not a bad film but a better narration would have done wonders for it. Also, the editing is one of the weakest points of the film. In a few scenes, the movie just jumps from one scene to another without any continuation.

One department where the film gets full marks is the cinematography. Jim Edgar's camera work has done wonders for the film. Starfish has been shot wonderfully and the underwater scenes will surely take you to a totally different world.

Talking about performances, Khushalii Kumar has given a fantastic performance and there are some really difficult emotional scenes that she has performed very well. The actress is also looking super hot in the film. After Khushalii, it is Ehan Bhat who grabs our attention. He has great screen presence and leaves a mark. Milind Soman as usual looks charming and has done a good job. Tusharr Khanna, who makes his Bollywood debut with the movie, is good in his part.

The film's music is also quite good and Fanaa Kar Do and Kudiye Ne Tere will surely grab everyone's attention.

Overall, Starfish had the potential to be better, but it's not a bad film. It has some good performances and wonderfully shot sequences that make the film visually very appealing.
