MUMBAI:

The verdict of Irrfan Khan’s latest international film Darjeeling Limited is out. In a brief role, Irrfan has beaten his co-stars, namely Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman and Adrien Brody who play brothers. While the reviews have largely panned the film and performances, Irrfan has been singled out for praise. “There’s only one performance that rings true in this shambolic odyssey. It’s incidental and it’s played by Irrfan Khan,” wrote the London Times reviewer.

But the downsized part could be a downer for the actor’s fans. “Even an actor of Bill Murray’s stature has a walk-on part in the mo-vie. So, I see no reason for audiences or me to feel let down. I did it with my eyes open. And do you know? He wrote the role specially for me” Khan said.
