Being Cyrus snakes into an intriguing psycological drama, but unravels almost like a quaint comedy. The six colorful characters play against each other in a bizarre opus of repartee.Dinshaw sethna is a dope-smoking retired sculptor, who lives in the secluded hills around a small hill station called Panchgani. Dinshaw opens his house to a stranger, Cyrus , who gratefully accepted his invitation as well as his wife, Katy Sethna.

The tale revolves around the rather disfunctional Sethna family and swings between Panchagni (Katy & Dishaw Sethna's home) and an old dilapidated building in Mumbai (where Dinshaw's aged Father Fardoojee Sethna , his brother, Farokh and Farokh's wife,Tina , live in apparent conflict). As Cyrus befriends and enters into the family as Dinshaw's sculpting apprentice, all the cracks being to open. The layers unfold and things do not seen quite right. What's more is that nothing about cyrus seems quite right either.

Being Cyrus journeys mindspaces, though it leads itself as a great new take on classic film Noir. And though it lends itsef to take the audience on a confusing goose chase, we are left in uncertainity for some times amout the crimes committed, and the end ties up conclusively apart from the protagonist's own predicament.

Being Cyrus is an english language film directed and co-written by Homi Adajania. The story is narrated by the protagonist , Cyrus, who himself sits at the brink of his dilemma of why life is the way it is.

The uniqueness of Being Cyrus lies in the originality of the story, the novelty of its Parsi family backdrop ( a small minority in a macrocosm of cultures in india) and the distinctive look of the film. It is a thought provoking film that will take the audience through a journey of emotions with alarming twits.

Being Cyeus is an obessive, inconclusive, disorderly, and strangely humane story about an outsider struggling to get inside himself.
