One Cut Two Cut Movie Review: Danish Sait film is a fun entertainer crammed with clever jokes
India Today
Danish Sait and director Vamsidhar Bhogaraju’s One Cut Two Cut is a rollicking comedy with clever jokes in place. The quirky story and performances stand out, says our review.
It is safe to say that Danish Sait is crafting his own genre with his brand of films. From Humble Politician Nograj to One Cut Two Cut, his films and shows remind us about his one-minute long videos that kept everyone occupied during the Covid-19 pandemic. While it may look repetitive, Danish and his team do a splendid job of taking these characters and placing them in extraordinary situations. And One Cut Two Cut is cut from the same cloth as well.
One Cut Two Cut features 'an' arts-and-crafts teacher named Gopi who speaks bad English. As he gears up for his first day at Byatarayanapura school as a teacher, he has to face an extraordinary situation. Four people, who met on Twitter, decide to protest against the government. They meet at a commonplace and enter the Byatarayanapura school. The 'terrorists' take school children and teachers hostage. How Gopi saves them forms the story.
Danish Sait is literally everywhere. From Twitter to OTT platforms, the actor and stand-up comedian is showcasing his brand of comedy on every medium. And One Cut Two Cut is straight-up his alley. Soon, those who follow Danish will speak English like his characters with an overdose of 'ans' and messed up tenses.
Here's the trailer of One Cut Two Cut:
One Cut Two Cut, directed by Vamsidhar Bhogaraju, is a cute little film with its heart in the right place. The protagonist, Gopi, is shown as a timid guy who has taken up 'arts and crafts' as his profession and gets trolled for the same as well. But, that doesn't stop him from pursuing his passion. Gopi is a well-rounded character and that’s what makes the proceedings interesting and engaging.
The screenplay and the dialogues are cleverly written. Not just Gopi, but there’s quirkiness written all over the film. Be it the group of terrorists who don’t have a common motive or the secret agents who land up at the wrong school, there’s too much silliness, and in just the right amount.
A major advantage of One Cut Two Cut is its runtime, which is approximately 90 minutes. Coming to the negative, the director has tried to cram the story with too many sub-plots and many of which don’t get proper closure.
