Complicating matters is that the character is also personified by the director, leading to a pleasing play on selfhood that ever-so-lightly toys with notions of free will and agency: Can a fictional character assume a persona separate from its creator? More modestly budgeted than most of Kapoor\u2019s other works (\u201cMithya,\u201d \u201cKadakh\u201d), this crowdfunded labor of love is unlikely to generate much buzz but will be appreciated by audiences looking for congenial entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Seasoned director RK (Kapoor) can\u2019t put his finger on exactly why, but he\u2019s dissatisfied with the movie he\u2019s making, a 1960s-inspired caper in which he plays the protagonist Mahboob. It\u2019s putting a noticeable strain on his relationship with his wife Seema (Kubbra Sait), and frustrations during editing are just making things worse, so his crew suggests he take a ten-day break to collect his thoughts. Then he gets a call from assistant director Namit (Chandrachoor Rai) saying that Mahboob\u2019s disappeared from the rushes \u2014 he\u2019s not even in the negative anymore.<\/p>\n<p>No one can explain what happened, but if RK doesn\u2019t find Mahboob, he has no film. At a loss to know where to look, his young son Vivan (Abhishek Sharrma) reminds his father that since he created the character, he knows him better than anyone else. That\u2019s when he thinks of looking at the train station, where indeed he finds Mahboob trying to get to Kolkata to see his lover Gulabo (Mallika Sherawat). RK takes an equally bewildered Mahboob back home, much to the amusement of his family, who particularly appreciate the unexpected visitor\u2019s culinary skills. As Mahboob settles in and starts to develop a character separate from one that\u2019s pre-scripted, he resists the pressure to return to the film, especially after he\u2019s told he\u2019ll be killed in the finale.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many directions \u201cRK\/RKAY\u201d could have gone that it\u2019s somewhat disappointing Kapoor chooses not to develop the different themes and characters, starting with the relationship between RK and Seema (though Sait, so noteworthy as Kukoo in \u201cSacred <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>s,\u201d exudes a warmth that implies more depth than her underwritten role is actually given). The film\u2019s brisk running time could easily have accommodated a more considered though still playful engagement with the whole meta narrative and Mahboob\u2019s grappling with suddenly acquiring an agency he never knew he didn\u2019t have. The same goes for RK\u2019s crisis of self, which is swiftly passed over and neatly wrapped up by the bland ending.<\/p>\n<p>Visually, Kapoor and his DP Rafey Mahmood have fun with the contrasts between the overlit, slightly garish colors of the 1960s homage and the toned-down tonalities of the present. That harsher wattage follows Mahboob into the real world, giving him a perpetual spotlight and necessitating almost murky illumination for everyone else; the entire look feels very hermetic and stagey, as if everyone exists in a diorama that can be seen from all sides. Kapoor\u2019s regular music collaborator Sagar Desai delivers amusingly upbeat tunes that add a heightened sense of quirky fun.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
