Mirch Movie Review, Mirch Hindi Movie Story, Rating, Box Office

Vinay Shukla’s upcoming movie ‘Mirch’ revolves around Maanav, who is a struggling filmmaker who is unwilling to compromise on the script he has written. His girlfriend Ruchi, a successful film editor, arranges for him to meet Nitin, a film producer. Nitin likes the script, but is not very sure of its commercial prospects. Maanav then suggests a story from the Panchtantra. Nitin loves the story, but finds it too short for a feature film. Maanav then creates three more stories based on the same premise: in a way, the Panchantra story travels in different versions to the modern times through the film. The four stories are woven together by a common story. Mirch itself echoes this structure, with four stories mingling with the main narrative.
According to the director of Mirch, Vinay Shukla, “Mirch is structured like a square with a cross-section of 4 squares within it. Each square represents one season, has a different colour-palette and contains a story complete in itself with a witty twist in the end.”
He says further, “The stories run the course of time; from ancient India to today’s India. The first story has been sourced from the ancient Sanskrit classic, the Panchtantra; the source of the second story is the 14th century Italian classic, the ‘Decameron,’ by Boccaccio.”
“Inspiration for the third story comes from another ancient Italian story. Rest of the 2 stories are penned by me,” he adds.
Mirch has Konkona Sen Sharma as Lavni / Anita, Shreyas Talpade as Manjul, Shahana Goswami as Ruchi, Boman Irani as Asu Hotmal, Raima Sen as Maya / Manjula, Arunoday Singh as Maanav and Rajpal Yadav as Kashi.
