Review: Yeh Saali Zindagi is definitely one of the most erratic yet entertaining films directed by Sudhir Mishra so far. It is a raucous and expeditious roller coaster of fun, thrill and the element of unpredictability. Arjun played by actor Irrfan Khan is in love with Priya whose role is essayed by Chitrangdha Singh but she in turn bestows her love to Shyam played by Vipul Gupta. It is not over yet; Shyam is engaged to be married to the minister’s daughter.
Amidst all the confusion, Kuldeep played by Arunoday Singh who is a petty criminal enters the scene to further complicate matters. He kidnaps Shyam and holds him hostage so that the minister is compelled to acquit his boss Bade essayed by Yashpal Sharma who is currently under arrest. Priya somehow drags herself into this situation and decides to side with her love, Shyam. Arun who cares about Priya is pulled into the mess inevitably.
From the very beginning, the director ensures that the narrative is entirely under his control and introduces a multitude of characters with no clear distinction. The audience is allowed to move along with the progress of the film and acclimatize to the myriad characters. The storytelling gets erratic due to the ineffectual switching back and forth and the frequent change in voiceover as well. The film virtually runs too promptly hardly allowing the audience to grasp the feel but when the interconnections are revealed, it takes on an interesting turn.
