Vidya Balan shines in Kahaani

Who's in it? Vidya Balan, Parambrata Chatterjee, Saswata Chatterjee The plot This tense, exciting thriller solidifies Vidya Balan's position as an actress to take seriously. Telling the tale of a heavily pregnant woman (Balan) who travels from London to Kolkata to search for her missing husband, the film plays with your mind, and you're never quite sure who to believe. While the woman is convinced her husband is missing, those around her think he never even existed. This edge-of-your-seat film has a great script, which is made even better thanks to Balan (natch!) as well as the way the festive city of Kolkata is portrayed; it's almost a character in itself in the film. Highly recommended. Rating 4 out of 5
