Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare Movie Review :
'Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare' calls out the hypocrisy around seemingly happy marriages right at the beginning, when Kajal (Bhumi Pednekar) tells her cousin, Dolly (Konkona Sen Sharma) that her husband Amit (Aamir Bashir) has been hitting on her. When Dolly insists Kajal may have misunderstood his friendly, protective behaviour, she spells it out for her cousin, "Amit ji humse sex karna chahte hain." But there are more things on Dolly's mind than to get worked up about this piece of information, like making plans to move into a plush new complex, where the couple's new flat is under construction. When money falls short for their installments, Dolly hustles - by either stealing from her office or selling her jewelry. Her day at work usually starts off by making three cups of tea - one for her boss, one for her colleague and one for herself.
The performances are overall topnotch. Konkona Sen Sharma as Mrs.Yadav or Dolly is superlative as her character moves through an entire arc in this film, exploring her relationship with her husband, her son Pappu and her mother. Bhumi Pednekar also dishes out a stellar act. Amol Parasher stands out as the sweet delivery boy, Osmaan. Vikrant Massey as Kajal's lover, Pradeep, is superb, as is Aamir Bashir as Dolly's disgruntled husband, Amit.
Ultimately, 'Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare' brings out the different shades to womanhood through it's layered narrative and pushes one to be who they want to be. And damn it, if society has other dreams for you.
