The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Now this is what I cal a perfect blend of plot, direction and music. Cinema is defined by Sudhish Kamath's second venture and boy, isn't he great? The cast is wonderful especially the leads are very appealing and apt for the characters they portray.And I loved the music used in this piece which shows you that how can a conversation become an unforgettable sex appeal factor and can drive people to do what they are looking for so long. It depicts the lonely lives of the Y generation, although the characters here are 20 something, the situation is often experienced by the Y people. Maybe the YOLO generation might despise this theory, but for a decade or so, GNGM is fabulous and real-time.Some parts were too gaudy and fickle that's why it goes for an 8. Also, I felt the movie ended arbitrarily and they could extend it for a little 15 minutes more. Good!I seriously recommend watching this. Buy that DVD and you will not be disappointed. It'll make a perfect Sunday afternoon.WATCH OUT FOR: the witty one hour long conversation.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?

It all began with 'Frozen'. Then, 'That Girl In Yellow Boots' followed. Opinions were as diverse as chalk and cheese, but discussion was 'generated'. I could see the signs. Indie was taking its first baby steps, making its presence felt. Right here, in India.In the times when the majority of people are busy helping the Hindi Film Industry hurtle down the abyss into the Stone Age, here comes a movie to shut us up. Delightfully funny and bitingly perceptive, Sudhish Kamath's 'Good Night Good Morning' is a slap on the faces of those who still try searching for stories in item numbers and mindless action. Not that I am against any of those. As long as they are done well... But, I digress.The point that I am trying to emphasize on is - you can find a story anywhere. In ordinary day to day lives. In two strangers. Strangers who seem to have absolutely nothing in common. In a phone call. Kamath and co-writer Shilpa Rathnam use dialogues extremely well and it helps that Seema Rahmani and Manu Narayan turn in terrific performances. Shot almost entirely in black and white, 'Good Night Good Morning' is a game-changer with respect to the Great Indie Movement.Go watch. You'll have time for mindless entertainers. But see GNGM and tell me it wasn't worth your time. If you've seen Woody Allen's films, Linklater's movies, you'll be more than just delighted. Like I was.

Well if I have to sum it up, the entire film is a telephonic conversation between 2 people shown in split screen. Does not sound exciting, does it? There is not much happening apart from their conversation. But the subjects explored in the conversation are quite diverse, different and yet related to each other. It definitely makes you think. I really liked the idea of showing real events in black & white and the imaginary parts in color. It belongs to less explored genre of thought provoking entertainment. It's really sad that such films are not promoted properly. I went for a Saturday evening show and I could spot 11 people in cinema hall. I could not help overhearing rest of them ridiculing the film. I am rating it 10 to increase its rating but it really deserves seven. Good Night|Good Morning - For people who like films that make sense and more for people who never knew films can make sense tooPS: Nothing personal against mainstream cinema aka Khan monopoly

Manu Narayan (as Turiya Omprakash) and Seema Rahmani (as Moira) - Top Notch Acting, perfect chemistry between the leads. Oh Wait! What chemistry are you talking about when they don't see each other through out the film? Yes, Even though they don't see each other, there is this Excellent chemistry between them. After watching the movie, you will definitely agree with me.Raja Sen (as JC) was fantastic. Vasanth Santhosham (as Hussein) was good. People involved in Casting - You are one of the reason for Film's Success!Script is simple and straight and its got to be that way (as said in the film). It is well written. Dialogues are funny, touching, heartbreaking and to top it all, it is very natural and subtle. Screenplay is Brilliant and Well-etched and you become a character in the film. Credits to Writer Shilpa Rathnam and Sudhish Kamath. Direction - You got to congratulate Sudhish Kamath for choosing such a daring theme and Pulling it off in Style! Overall, Fabulous Job. When was the last time you watched a Black & White movie? Yes, Sudhish Kamath's Good Night | Good Morning is 80% Black and White and Cinematographer Nischalakrishna Vittalanathan's work stands out. Nice Lighting and Perfect Framing. He makes the movie look Rich with the Black & White tone. Editing by Vijay Venkataramanan, M. Venkatram and Murugesh Thevar works for me! It was Slick and Crisp. He is also another reason for movie's success. Music by Ray Guntrip Feat. Tina May | Manu Narayan & Darunam | Blues Conscience Feat. Sudeep is a Big Plus. Outstanding Background score takes the movie to another level. Costumes by Shilpa Rathnam are OK. Other crew members hard work is evident and they deserve a huge applause.I also see a lot of Pre-Production has gone into making this film a grand success. Job well done! Good Night | Good Morning is way better than many mainstream Indian films! It is a Writing Masterpiece. Exceptional Writing. It is a Great moment for Indian Indie-Filmmaking Fraternity. I was So happy to see everyone glued to their seats for the Q&A. That was the impact the movie had on the New Yorkers!Naveen Varadarajan, Behindwoods
