It always make anyone angry whenever a sub standard and under developed thing comes before a quality product and disturb its result and outcome...
just like the famous urdu mahazara ’’hum to dubaey hain sanam tum ko bhi laey doobain gaey’’...
Same is the case with Aetbaar , a very well directed film and a complete thriller having entertainment value in every respect , the only thing is that that it is inspired by an english thriller which doesnt matter too much bcoz hindi cinema viewers are used to it and they dont mind it (Including me) ...
But.. the main problem is that that a sub standard film ’’INTEHA’’ was released 7 months before Aetbaar which has the same story line ...the only difference is that that in Inteha a possessive step sister(vidya) tries to prevent her step sister(nauheed siyrasi) from evil boy friend(wooden ameesha’s wooden brother ashmeet patel) , while in Aetbaar a possessive father (Amitabh Bachchan) took the place of step sister to prevent his daughter (Bipasha) from John Abraham (boy friend) and his evil attempts.
I am shocked that how and why these both films (Aetbaar and Inteha) based o n a same story are directed by a same director Vikram Bhatt...???
I think it is unprofessional and unethical if a director consciously direct two films on a same subject in relatively same time period.. but jsut forget it, its there headache... anyhow, despite from script, Aetbaar is 100 times better then Inteha in terms of screenplay, direction and grip on the film, I am sure if luck will be with it it could be a hit if not a super hit ...
Because if u recall ’’yaraana’’ and ’’daraar’’ weree realesed before ’’agni sakshi’’ (all these three were based on teh story of Julia roberts’ sleeping with an enemy) but Agni Sakshi was a clean Super Hit film even after being released after daraar and yaraana (they both were flops) jsut because it was a very well made film, and same is the case with Aetbaar therefore this film has chances...But still I am of teh view that ’’kaash Inteha release na hoti so that this very well made film could acheive success with more surity, just because another Big B starrer Biggie ’’Khakee’’ is clasing with this film that might be make dents in its business and viewership.
Performance wise Amit ji proved himself yet again one and only of his kind, Bips was awesome after Raaz and Jism and the Psycho Lover John Abraham was awesome in a negative role and proved himself among the best of performers in the new lot. Direction wise Vikram Bhatt is very competent and did full justice with teh subject, music is above average to passable, technically the film is also A. rated
Overall it is the best choice if u didnt watched Inteha , even if u watched that looser film (Inteha) even then u can enjoy the better on screen presenation of the same script with minor changes, and you will not feel being cheated this time, coz it a sincere and whole hearted attempt by Vikram Bhatt this time on a similar script.
