Bollywood seems to be going through the catharasis. The young brigade is taking over and redifining the rules. Freaky Chakra is just one addition to the lot. It tell the story of younger man falling for an older woman. Our protagonist is none other than Deepti Naval. Ranvir Sheorey narrates the story of the haggard woman who left her medical practice after she could not save her husband. Being tempramental, she has become a lonar and necrrophile.

She has plunged into perversion and talks dirty over phone. The caller is her neighbour who makes daily rounds at her place with a medical excuse. One day, a young boy (Sunil Roah) walks into her life and that changes everything. She turns from nagging lady to blushing woman. At first film may look like Leela, Ek Chhotisi Love Story or Dil Chahta Hai but it turns out be different because it talks more about the life of an older unwanted woman who craves for attention. It tells the boringly monotonous life of a loner and how it changes when a young man enters it.

Miss Thomas is the most interesting character in Freaky Chakra and Deepti deserves credit. She has always been known for her ability to make her actions speak louder than her words. Her expressions as a bored, cranky woman, her fights with the watchman and vegetable vendors give way to warmth and tenderness after she meet Sunil. When Sunil tells her she looks better with her hair down, her face lights up instantly, even as she tries to hide her happiness. Newcomer Sunil does a decent job. He looks comfortable with Deepti and holds his own. After Deepti, Sachin Khedekar turns in a brilliant performance. His excellent comic timing saves his performance from any hint of monotony.  Characterisation is not very sloid. There are umpteen flaws in the movie too but the basic question remains what makes Deepti Naval take up such roles.
