Dimag ki batti gul. Review on Kidnap

It would be apt if we describe all those associated with the film with the statement "dimak ki bati gul " which may be the financier who put in his money into such a inane product or maybe the actors who gave their consent for such a film or maybe the writer for thinking that the audiences are fool and hence they wouldnt notice such a horrible script or I it might the director who messed up whatever good was left in the film anyway if you ask me the film has a poor wafer thin one line script, confused and clattered screenplay, poor acting, poor music, poor direction, weak unbelievable sequences and poor casting which makes the film unintentionally funny so in all the film is a complete disaster and stay away from it but it seems afterall my batti is gul as I spent plenty of cash for watching such a bad movie

Story

The film is the story of kabir(imran) who has spent 7 years in jail for stealing the car and for allegedly kidnapping daughter sonia(minnisha) of rich business tycoon raina(sanjay dutt) which kabir thinks is unfair as he was only trying to help his injured friend so he build sp a grudge against raina and finally takes revenge by really kidnapping his daughter and then taunts him and harasses raina and tells him that he will get his daughter only if he solves certain clues and so from then a absurd cat and mouse chase follows and film culminates with reunion of raina with his estranged wife mallika(vidya malvade) and his daughter is finally set free by the kidnapper so in all a film of totally absurd and confused sequences which are yawn inducing and instead of increasing the pace of film slackens the film and makes it boring

Good parts

1-the mit jaye song

2-the chase between kabir and raina which is directly lifted from bond film casino royale

Bad parts

1-story

2-screenplay

3-unintentionally funny scenes like when raina finally finds his daughter but does not rescue her

4-casting which is very poor as neither minnisha looks eighteen nor vidya malavade looks her mother which makes some scenes untentionally funny

5-in all the entire film

Questions I would like to ask the director

1-do you think audience is stupid and hence you can make a hit film by showing women in bikinis and hot action scenes while not having story

2-how does sonia wear such stylish and brand new clothes everyday even when she is kidnapped

3-how can you take a good concept like amazing ace and spoil it by absurd situations like stealing a note from a matka kings fortress like home or maybe how do you explain rash and reckless driving which culminates in a bike chase on a rail sea bridge

4-how can a young child so easily steal a car from a rich tycoons secured house

Performance

Kabir-imran khan acts poorly and shows only one expression in the film. Sonia-minnisha lamba just exposes but forgets to act and even her make up is bad which make her look like a white dwarf. Raina-sanjay dutt is ok as raina but makes me wonder what is he doing in such a film. Malika-vidya malavade is completly miscast as the mother and ends up being the laughing stock of the film. It is sad that reema lagoo is reduced to a prop and a hangeron in a small role. Rahul dev overacts as the security expert
