Mr. Reshammiya is first of all not a good actor and that has already been reflected in his albums.
acclaimed Himesh on screen and get a good laugh out of him… Well at least he
did not disappoint…
What could be worse in this "moviee"? The direction, the
acting, the singing, the editing, the dialogues, the choreography, the story,
the all powerful Nose? Let’s be fair. They
were all equally horrifying. A half baked story of the "greatest rock star in
the world"; Himesh Reshammiya(HR) played by himself is arrested for a murder. Of
course, it’s a mistake as he so shrilly screams out to the world. And while
sitting in prison, he has a flashback… How to meet a girl in 15 days and fall
in love with her and how to get the stern dad to agree to marriage and annoy him the next day by
having a not so nice murder charge on his head. Oh and then he escapes from
prison, holding the dead girls dad hostage.
Oh did I mention he struck a deal
with a bald guy who’s pissed when he cancels, who also has a "sexy" lawyer
colleage, the great Mallika Sherawat, who’s madly lusting over HR and wants him
in her bed 5 minutes ago. Well the dad gets killed by a henchman, HR convinces
the girlfriends dad to give him a chance even though she’s getting married the
next day, manages to prove he’s innocent and probably lives happily ever after
with the girl.
Now that the facts are straight, lets analyse this… Firstly,
the movie is amazingly secular. Absolutely annoying to all religions on an
equal level. The flick starts to an eerie chant of salaam walekum, moves on to
the Gayatri Mantra when HR meets Miss Right(oh so appropriate), involves a
dead Parsi girl, an inter racial marriage, a nasal Punjabi type song and
probably some other stuff I didn’t notice. And there’s HR himself. larger than his
already annoying ubiquitous self and proving his acting to be just as good as
his singing… The guy can’t act or put across a dialogue decently to save his
life, let alone that of his Miss Right, played by Hansika Motwani, who is
apparently rumoured to be 14 or 15… and trust me she looks it. Himesh romancing
this super tall kid with a heavily painted face, who keeps crying, looks a pedophile
to the core.
Oh my the horror, the terror…HR showing way too much
cleavage with deeper necklines than any female in the movie, the wannabe car chase scene, the ridiculous
rickshaw-wala scene bang in the middle of a serious scene that looks copied from
Taxi 9211(hopelessly slapstick this one was), a drunk scene that has HR
dancing like a wannabe Travolta on Ecstasy, the slutty lawyer who apparently
has a side profession as a club dancer, a murderer pulling off a mask that is a
replica of Himesh’s face(I mean, when was the last time you saw that!?), way
too many songs which of course had to be sung through that nose of his, his
HUGE ego which showed by the dozens of girls lusting behind him, the title of "greatest
rock star in the world"(Greatest? Rock? Star?) and the millions of fans lined
up to see a horrific show in what looks like Carnegie Hall or something, cheesy
dialogues about how the girl made him smile again and a close up of HR laughing
uncontrollably… God help us all…
And a mention which just MUST be made… It’s bad enough that Himesh
was crooning the Gayatri mantra like it was a love song and strumming away to Dard-e-dil…
but right in the end, when he is proved innocent(yes. sorry for spoiling the
ending for those who haven’t already seen this slapstick flick) and gets the
girl he’s been battling for the whole time, the screen suddenly switches to him
grinding and twisting with Sherawat wearing as little as ever to the nasal
strains of Mehbooba Mehbooba in a casino and trying to turn on all the ladies
watching only to have them cringe in their seats… RD Burman is turning in his
grave… Can’t you just feel it?
So there you have it. Ludicrous, mediocre, but a huge laugh
riot. This cannot classify as a movie. It is a pure "Moviee". Caps off to
Reshammiya. He has managed to maintain his standard.
My rating- 0.5/10, merely for HR’s sheer audacity at
thinking that he could pull this off to be the serious thriller or whatever he
thought it was, and for his sidekick friend who was kind of cute and kept his
mouth shut a whole lot longer than Himesh did.
Bollywood churns out loads of movies every year.Audience has its own taste.People, usually, decide to watch a movie by seeing its promos, songs aired on television channels.If the songs/promos, the starcast, the storyline appeals to them - they go ahead and watch the movie or else stay away from them.
Final Word: Painful in every sense of the word! watch this movie
Thanks everybody
