X – Past is Present Movie Review:
Rajat Kapoor is a lead actor, with the eleven segments revolving around his character K, while twelve actresses would play the female leads in each segment, with one segment featuring two female characters. Aditi Chengappa played the lead in the part directed by Sudhish Kamath.
X: Past Is Present opens with a shot of a ticking Patek Philippe watch to underscore its principal concern – the inexorable passage of time and its impact on human life. The film then travels back in time, one capsule at a time, in a bid to comprehend the life and times of a filmmaker called K (Rajat Kapoor).
He has 20 films and ten messy affairs behind him. Grappling with a messed-up life, K runs into a chirpy young girl (Aditi Chengappa) at a party.
The mystery girl reminds him of his first girlfriend, Shireen (Pia Bajpai), and then of all the other women in his life, including a wife, Rija (Radhika Apte), who has walked out on him.
In the course of one night, the self-absorbed “man with no address” is assailed by memories that nudge him towards a better appreciation of the many personal mishaps that he has encountered and been altered by.
