If you need one reason to watch 'M Cream', let that be Imaad Shah. He is, as Ira Dubey's character Jay puts it in the movie, easy on the eyes, and a natural actor to boot. He is relatable, and endearing as the I-don't-care-about-world Figs, short for Figaro

If you need one reason to watch 'M Cream', let that be Imaad Shah. He is, as Ira Dubey's character Jay puts it in the movie, easy on the eyes, and a natural actor to boot. He is relatable, and endearing as the I-don't-care-about-world Figs, short for Figaro.

Ira Dubey and Imaad Shah are adept, but the latter steals the show
The story is simple. Four friends — some not so friendly in the beginning — head to Manali, in the hunt for the elusive but legendary M Cream, the best marijuana in the world. As they travel through the mountains — you are going to want to head to the mountains after watching this — they find themselves and in a way, find a way of respecting the opinions of others.
Director Agneya Singh had earlier told us that through the film, he wants to address the new youth of India, which has an opinion and wants to voice it. He has managed to do that with M Cream with characters that believe in different things — Jay who wants to change the world and Figs who wants it to burn down.
Dubey and Shah are adept at what they do. But it's Shah who really steals the show. The character seems to be an extension of his real self, and you will have newfound respect for him. All in all, a fun, unusual watch for the weekend.
