Some reviewers gave it four stars ands some gave it one.
And how does yours truly rate it ? Well I think one star is a little harsh, I will be generous enough to give two.
The Good ?
Abhishek
and Amitabh Bachhan are good in their roles.
Aishwarya does a fair job too.
The photography is interesting but after a point these shots from behind peoples elbows and ears seems overdone.
The Bad ?
Inspite
of an interesting plot in the backdrop the execution makes the movie
seem predictable. The suspense is not taut enough to make you spill
your popcorn while you inch to the edge of your seat. Oh no...but some
of the jarring bursts of background music might do the trick. The
twists and turns are reminiscent of Sarkar.
Tanishas acting is
labored in the few scenes that she has. Well one could not expect much
after her horribly timed proposal to Shankar in the original.
The bad boys are oh so cliched in their plots and their mannerisms. The lesser said the better.
Shankars
right hand man Bala or is it Billo has just one dialog in the entire
movie Shankar ko sab pata chal gaya. (Now thats an ominous dialog, go
on Bala you have the baddies quaking in their boots.) No wonder then
that the poor fellow looks so angry all through the movie.
And
the murderer...well it seems a little tacky to show just the boots and
the gloved hands, a tribute to the villains of the 70s perhaps. And
who, ladies and gentlemen, would be able to walk around in Bombay
wearing such hideous golves in the middle of summer and not raise any
suspicion?
The Ugly ?
Well
ugly would be an overstatement but to do justice to the format I must
write something under this heading too. The movie drags on towards the
ending and the sitar strings harping on sadness do not help the case.
My
take-- its a good thing that the office sponsored this one and I did
not spend my money on it or I might have come out with a more scathing
review.
I thought it would have been a much better twist in the tale
if the pretty maiden had been the mastermind behind the mayhem...heck I
kept expecting that to happen till the end and all I got was a sad
sitar score!
