Being Cyrus

Saif Ali Khan, Boman Irani, Dimple Kapadia and Naseeruddin Shah come together in this English movie about a dysfunctional family of Parsis.
Cyrus (Khan) arrives at his favourite artist's (Shah) house as an intern. He finds him absolutely aloof of family life. The location of their house is in the suburbs with access to almost nothing. Yet, Shah and his wife (Kapadia) are leading their almost-non-existent marital life amidst grumbles and groans. The wife receives many phone calls from her NRI brother and that is the only time her face sparkles with joy. Eventually she asks Cyrus to visit her father-in-law in the city. Cyrus meets her captivated FIL and foul-mouthed brother-in-law (Irani) and his young bride. Cyrus continues to meet the FIL and gaining his trust. One such day he kills him and enters the adjoining house, where the BIL and his wife live. BIL arrives, only to be killed after a tiff. Cyrus' emotions continue to narrate claiming Kapadia to have double crossed him, since she was the one to send Cyrus to kill her co-sister, but she informed BIL to kill Cyrus as well. Kapadia and Shah are held in for questioning, but Cyrus comes off clean.
The story ends of showing how the whole plot was the co-sister's, who was actually Cyrus's real sister. Both of them were abused as children and this was their way of making money. But Cyrus had enough of it and when he sees his sister spotting her next family, he leaves her.
A pretty disturbing story of betrayal, greed and love. The fact that it was forcibly taken in English in Indian surroundings was kind of annoying and the characters lost a bit of their Indian flavour and seemed fake, but other than that, it was a good psychological plot. Khan has a bit of a way to go with the heavier aspect of his character. He carries the light hearted roles better thus far, but it was interesting to see him in a different role. Irani, Kapadia and Shah were great in their respective characters, as they always were. A good time pass.
