Synopsis:
The film revolves around the rather dysfunctional Sethna family and swings between Panchgani, a small hill station where retired sculptor Dinshaw Sethna (Naseerudin Shah) lives in relative isolation with his wife (Dimple Kapadia) and an old dilapidated building in Bombay where the other Sethnas, played by Boman Irani and Simone Singh live. One day Dinshaw opens his house to a stranger, Cyrus (Saif Ali Khan) who gratefully accepts his invitation but as Cyrus befriends the family all the previously hidden cracks begin to open.

strange unexpected twist - Being Cyrus review by Fussypot

Spoiler Alert
12/07/2022

An unusual story. Seemed to be about an orphan who had a difficult start in life along with his sister who is mysteriously not mentioned again for a long while. Cyrus goes to work with a sculptor in the country. There is a mystery to unravel about the family he describes as each is not what they seem. He befriends an old man of the family who seems to be treated very badly by the family, but then his kindness appears to be false also. There is a big shock - hard to appreciate at first as he spends a lot of time having nightmares so it is not clear if what you see is real or not for a while. We were stunned. Certainly not the run-of-the-mill romance or anything tale. Reasonably acted and quite an experience, perhaps a bit confusing and hard to see until the end why he is so twisted. Perhaps a satisfying end. Too much English language in it perhaps, but otherwise an experience filmwise.
