Step aside ladies and gentlemen.. we have a winner! No no, the film is indeed ghastly, but it does feature one of the most atrocious graphics in the history of mankind.
Lover boy, trying to tell the girl how boring her like is, likens life to a hot dog... trust me, he actually says this one - your life is like a hot dog without sausages..
Apart from this and a Krishh style chase up and down a stairway, the movie has nothig to offer. Nothing?, you incredulously ask. Nothing, I repeat. But then, you counter, what about the special effects? What about all those crores? What about the debutante superstar, and girlfriend Priyanka Chopra? What of the robots and the red hair? What about the future? What about the romance?
Let's take the Baweja lad. He does everything possible to atleast remind you of someone who can (Hrithik Roshan).. even sounds like him and I swear at times he does!
Except, the guy can't act. Doesn't look good and has not screen presence. But he is brave.... to have agreed to work in a film as bizarre must be bravery! A family trait, you see!
Oh, and Priyanka must really have been smitten to sign on this script. Just when I thought maybe she had something in her, the fim threw me into what-was-I-thinking convulsions. In the first half she over-acts and over-pouts. In the second half, well, she does the same!
While in the first half she is a naive angel in the woods, she looks like a porn star in the second.
And these two are not the only disasters.. there is an Einstein lookalike (perhaps copied from Back to the Future).. and he's one of the least annoying characters in the movie.
What about the kids, one wonders... nope, no chance.. they're going to hate this. Mumbai 2050. Gravity-defying cars, shell houses, shows on air (quite
literally), Robots and time machines. And a butterfly that somehow have
survived since 2008.... From that Mortal Combat (eeeehaaaa) scene to the talking teddy bear, nothing seems to work. Kids in my neighbrhood have far better things to do... they have DVDs, games and what the hell, TV channels that entertain them more than this.
If this is the Future, trust me you don't wanna be there when this happens.
And no, I'm not being too mean.. you still want to try this one out, like, once?
Sure... time I lay down my most glorious card, my masterstroke... it's 3 hours and 20 minutes long. And the music is by Anu Malik. Do you really have that much time to kill? It is murder!
