Despite Konkana and Bhumi excelling in their roles, the movie tries to stuff too many lessons into its narrative

How we missed you Konkana! Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare does not rise to the levels of Alankrista Shrivastava's previous works like Made in Heaven or Lipstick Under My Burkha but is watchable due to the compelling lead performances by Konkana and a terrific Bhumi Pednekar.

In trying to stuff multiple agendas like love, virginity, Indians' repressed sexuality, midlife crises and even gender identity, the movie becomes disjointed and tedious in parts.

However, Konkana revels in a triumphant return to mainstream cinema after a hiatus. In Radha aka 'Dolly', she lives the character of a dissatisfied middle-aged woman, unhappy in her job, sex life and of having not lived life to its fullest.

Vikrant Massey and Aamir Bashir do a commendable job in their supporting roles while Amol Parashar reduces to a boytoy stereotype.

Watch it if, like me, you have grown up enthralled by Konkana's clutch performances. Set your expectations right and you wont be disappointed
