Reviews on Gubbare and Anita
From Indicine-
Story 9 – Gubbare (Anita, Nana Patekar, Rohit Roy)
Husband and wife, travelling on a bus, have a argument. An irritated Anita sits next to a interesting man holding 11 red colored balloons in his hand. He is carrying them for his wife… The story behind the balloons carries a very important lesson in ones life.
Must watch! A very emotional and touching tale, written by Gulzar. The execution is perfect and the story leaves an impact. A brilliant Nana Patekar is in form. Anita and Rohit are good.
Rating 4 / 5
Audience Reaction: They loved this one too.

“…Gubbare is actually maudlin and has an element of triteness again. Nana Patekar is sincere but gives away the game. The predictable story is only mildly touching, largely because of Anita Hasnandani’s effective performance and Raju Singh’s evocative background score…
To sum up, Dus Kahaniyaan is a surprise package from Gupta, whose last two films (Zinda, Shootout At Lokhandwala) have also shown a decided upward graph after his earlier tepid work. It will be a pity if its unconventional content and format does not reap box-office rewards. To me, this is the most riveting watch since Jab We Met.”
Bollywood Mantra
“‘Gubbare’- This short story has been directed by Sanjay Gupta and stars Nana Patekar, Anita Hasnandani and Rohit Roy. It revolves around Anita who has a fight with her husband on the bus; she then sits besides a strange man on the bus who is holding 11 red balloons. This intrigues her and she wants to find out why he is holding these 11 red balloons. She then goes on a journey into the man’s past which teaches a valuable lesson at the end. An average story with a fairly average screenplay. Fine performances by Nana and Anita.”

“‘Gubbare’
Cast: Nana Patekar, Anita and Rohit Roy.
After an argument with her husband in the bus, Anita sits next to an intriguing man holding 11 red balloons. This story unfolds a journey within a journey into this man’s past, uncovering the key to one of the most important lessons in life. Fantastic performance by Nana. Anita is effective. Sanjay Gupta is in form yet again! ”
ScreenIndia
“One also liked the stylised though predictable Rise And Fall(Gupta again) and High On The Highway(Hansal Mehta’s broodingly dark contribution). Not quite making the same grade is Gupta’s predictable Gubbare, saved by Anita Hasnandani’s sincere acting and Nana’s charisma and director Rohit Roy’s in-your-face Rice Plate (despite the outstanding turns by Shabana and Naseer).”

Well Rohit does not get credit for acting as his part is so minor, its prelimanary to set up the context of the story; the performance is carried by Anita’s interaction with Nana. I’ve seen the film and out of the ten stories, only 3 were worth watching and actually struck a cord with the audience. Gubbare was one of them and actually made me stop and think.
Anita was beautiful and played her part perfectly. Real acting is about enacting the story when there is no dialogue, whilst still conveying the message to the audience. Anita has honed this skill well. Excellent performance.
Her ex on-screen saas was brilliant too i.e. Amrita Singh. Her story as well as Sabhana Azmi’s ‘Rice Plate’ directed by Rohit were thought-provoking, real stories! Rohit’s direction impressed me.

To add, i wouldn’t take reviews to heart though because some critics are bakwaas. I mean c’mon the guy from IndiaGlitz thought Jab We Met was a riveting watch! The film was a another classic case of a hollywood rip off. They copied the story of Elizabethtown and planted the love triangle element to make it typical Bollywood.
Ermm i digress, anyway my point was even if one did sense the outcome of the story, which only becomes apparant when Nana lets it, Anita was charming and perfect!!!
