Bollywood Crazies Opinion: What else you want more than AR Rahman music in a film. And this film 99 Songs has been co-written and produced by AR Rahman himself. I am telling you clearly after a long time I saw a film so poetic, so emotional, visually stunning and brilliantly picturized. The camera angles were so powerful and perfect, as if they are telling the whole story without a dialogues. My favourite camera angle scene in this movie was when Jay and Lisa Ray met with an accident, there is a continues long shot from back side of the car and ends with an ariel shot. The screenplay was good and the Shillong backdrop gives a fresh vibe to this romantic story. The characters were new and they did brilliant work in terms of performances. The production value of this film was good and you can sense that in every frame. This film will remind you of Ranbir Kapoor’s Rockstar (2011) in several ways. The pain of a musician can easily be seen in this film. A one of a kind film that you couldn’t ignore. It’s a gem and you must watch it, appreciate it as such films didn’t get made often.

99 Songs movie has been directed by Vishwesh, Krishnamoorthy. The dialogues were written by Hussain Dalal. The cinematography have been done by Tanay Satam and James Cowley. The music composition has been done by AR Rahman. This movie has been produced by Ideal Entertainment and YM Movies.

99 Songs movie budget hasn’t been revealed yet by the makers but it would be reportedly around 25 to 30 crores maximum.

Altogether, 99 Songs is almost a masterpiece film for me and I will recommend everyone to watch it without a doubt. Except some hiccup due to its too melodramatic story in the middle, this is a beautiful film.

Last word: Watch it for its brilliant story, cinematography, dialogues, visual effects and performances. And also watch it for AR Rahman’s music.

Bollywood Crazies Ratings: 99 Songs Review- Mind-blowing (90 percent out of 100).
