We all know that Farhan Akhtar is the flavour of the season.AlI confess that im usually biased against the flavor of the season, I haven't even seen Rock On, as im aversion to dramas, and movies thatfeel like real life, I go to movies for a larger than life experience because I have enough of reality in my life as it stands.
Yet I have friend who is a fan and decided to see what the hullabaloowas all about....The first thing that got to me was the casting, KONKANA SEN SHARMA wascompletely wrong, she looks like a 35 year old, though she is clearlythe better actor. The rest of the casting was actually top notch.
Since this movie is all about Farhan lets talk mostly about him.His voice is poor, but his voice modulation and tone is worse, there isabsolutely no impact in his dubbing even in the intense scenes such afights.His acting also has long way to go because he is too consciouslyunderplaying every scene, this is further highlighted by konkana whodoes a very good job.
The entire movie revolves around Farhan would have been OK, if were notfor the fact that he doesn't have the charisma to pull it off, heneither has the talent or the persona to carry of an entire film of hisback yet.
MY FRIEND WHO IS HIS FAN Couldn't CONCEAL HIS DISAPPOINTMENT EITHER ANDMADE A WEAK ATTEMPT TO LIKE THE MOVIE BEFORE CAVING IN THE MOVIE ISVERY PREDICTABLE ESPECIALLY IF You've SEEN EVEN ONE MADHUR BHANDARKARFILM......WHICH IS WHAT THIS FEELS LIKE...
LIKE HIS FILMS THIS MOVIE TOO CALLS ITSELF REAL LIFE AND THEN PUMPSITSELF FULL OF Clichés AND CARICATURES, AND OTHER STUFF THAT THE PUBLICWANTS TO BELIEVE... (read review of corporate)..There are some good parts though, the entire support cast does a superbjob with rishi kapoor deserving special mention.
Esha Sherwani looked stunning, she had this nympho-maniacal yetvirginal aura around her and that combined with the lithe body made fora addictive and enticing cocktail, I confess I couldn't take my eyes ofher for most of her movie and neither could my very married friend.
There are some good humorous moments in the movie and the movie hasgood light feel almost throughout.The end is especially nice and is probably the only thing fresh aboutthe movie especially the way it all pans out for the protagonists.
Overall this movie is quite ordinary and is quite clearly a failedpromise.
-s predictable story, FARHAN-AKHTAR-CENTRIC, nothing really notable ormemorable.
+/-s farhan akhtar (for me he was the weakest point in the movie).
+s the rest of the cast, THE END. Total 5/10 ( I had no expectations from the movie and saw it with anegative bias but even then this movie failed to provide anything forme, I have yet to hear anything good about this movie even from thefans).
