'Barah Aana' tells the story of there friends (who are strangely three men of different generations) who are working ill-paid jobs that they hate and are desperate for something bigger and better, well, not necessarily better. Raj Kumar Gupta's screenplay does not really offer much. The pacing is decent at the beginning but it really slows down to lethargy. It's only 90 minutes but it felt much longer. Menon's story itself isn't that interesting to grab the viewer's attention and sustain it. The execution is pretty ordinary too but I liked the way the sets were designed. The plus point of 'Barah Aana' are the performances by the three leads: Naseeruddin Shah, Arjun Mathur and Vijay Raaz. These three lift the film above mediocrity but otherwise the film itself is very much forgettable.
