‘I M 24’ directed by Saurabh Shukla, unravels relationships that hinge on lies. In addition, Shukla attempts to narrate two stories concurrently -- of a middle-aged writer and his pal and also of two aspiring actors who are struggling to find a foothold in the glam world. Shukla introduces his characters with dexterity and the two plots co-exist seamlessly till a point. But it becomes a laborious experience as the two stories head towards their respective conclusions. Shukla chooses to narrate two identifiable stories and the writing keeps you involved for most parts. It's only towards the latter part -- when Rajat and Manjari arrive in the restaurant, to be specific -- that things begin to go downhill. The sequence at the beauty pageant and also the manner in which Ranvir and Neha's tale concludes is amateurish. The wrap up, frankly, is contrived and a complete compromise, from the writing point of view. Okay okay movie!
