Fairy Folk

The premise is incredibly wacky and yet simple, and thus, smart writing, direction and acting is necessary in order for the film to be convincing. It certainly is, thanks to Gour's skillful hold on the subject matter. He makes all of it seem effortless, and ties the themes of love, loneliness, urban relationships and sexual identity in the script that peeks into the private lives of a couple. He skillfully melds elements of fantasy with reality and keeps the film's narrative light-hearted and eerily suspenseful without going off the charts. From the get-go, we are drawn to the lives of Ritika and Mohit and the film manages to keep us hooked through delicious twists and turns with an ample doze of humour.
