Mediocre. Review on Apharan

I rented the movie with very high expectation, however after watching all my high hopes were shattered. Despite the heavy weights such as Nana and Ajay who are very good in dark and underworld movies, the movie is a disgrace to the such good actors. The weakness again is script. Loosely based on my many movies such as Shakti, company and many such ideas....which means that the movie did not have anything original. It had a very predictable story line and an often repeated formula.

Music...there is none and that is okay, considering the story of the movie.

It is the same old plot where a young son differs from his astute honest father who has umpteen unbreakable principles which only an angel can religiously follow in real life.

Then the son leans toward the criminal life style due to compelling reasons. Eventually partners with another don Nana Patekar. Takes over his reign and then again a power struggle starts and then the son suddenly realizes that he bad path is not for him. And then tries to become good again. What is unique in this all?

Acting wise, Nana tried his best and looks good and acts very ably and his restrained. Ajay looks a little haggard with his age showing. Bipasha has nothing to do in the movie. All in all quite disappointing. Wont perform well at the box office as it does not cater to masses or classes.
