Vidya Balan on her biggest learning curve, her Kolkata connection and why playing Silk was more difficult
There was a clamour for pictures the moment she alighted from her car and she patiently posed with each of her little fans (street kids, mostly). As soon as she was done with them, another bunch (this time mostly elderly women) came to her, blessed her and told her how much they love her. Despite a packed schedule, not once she tried to show impatience, greeting everyone with a huge smile, as if she has known them for ages. Vidya Balan actually has the magic wand to turn even her harshest critic into her fan. In a free-wheeling chat, Vidya talks about her search for her husband in ‘Kahaani’ and her deep connection with Kolkata
Excerpts from the interview:
Which was more difficult- Playing Silk or Vidya Bagchi?
It is difficult to compare as both are completely different personalities. Silk was over-the- top while Vidya Bagchi is very basic and understated. As an actor, I am not loud and Sujoy brought out this subtlety very well in ‘Kahaani’. Silk was so dramatically different from me and being her was such a different experience.

Y! Meta Review: Kahaani
A lot of us might have completely written off Sujoy Ghosh after box office disasters like 'Home Delivery' and 'Aladin' but he has managed to score big with 'Kahaani'. Ghosh manages to weave a compelling, well-nuanced tale that skillfully transforms from a drama to a gripping suspense thriller.
Gaurav Malani in his review says the narrative is the star of the film:
