By Subhash K. Jha

een worse, for sure, this story of an over- possessive mother and her stifl ed son has some glorious moments ofS remonstration, repartee and rumination between Kajol and that engaging young Bengali actor Ridhi Sen. In this loose and baggy adaptation of a Gujarati play by Aband Gandhi, they play the mother and son with rollicking relish. Sadly the script doesn’t support the Kajol-Ridhi camaraderie beyond a point. And after a solid start the plot crumbles helplessly to the ground writhing down there in sheer helplessness as an opportunity to pin down a solid fi lm on a mother- son bonding is squandered away in irrelevance, superfl uousness and disharmony. Speaking of disharmony, a lot of the fi lm’s aspirational drama originates from music. The songs though not discordant, add nothing to the plot. So what gives, really? The problem in Helicopter Eela is not one of a moral grounding.
