I was watching the promos on TV since last few weeks and was waiting for it. I associated huge expectations with the movie and was heavily disappointed after the show. Infact I lost interest just half an hour into it. Ironical part of this review is that its a so called suspense thriller and am not suppose to reveal the plot but still will try my best to put words for it.
Lets dissect all that made me feel disappointed.
The Movie itself: Well, it could had been a lot better. Story as such is ok but the script is very weak and poorly woven. The climax is the only part I wanna praise when you came to know what exactly was happening in the last 2 hrs, the revelation is great, its something new atleast and above all you feel relaxed to know that its over. I believe that the theme being original could have been developed into far more interesting screenplay rather than the boring, dull and hard to believe series of incidents. The crux is that there’s something that need to be ascertained, need to be revealed but the viewer is not all very excited about it, because of the way its been written and served !!! Screenplay is missing this very basic concept of a thriller. Many a times, there are no links as such between the frames rolling over. Its actually very difficult to be with the story all the time because its all scattered. All very confusing. Moreover, characters are too many and all of them are not required to complete the story. And why songs are there ? They tend to slow down the already tortoise paced screenplay. Director though, should be given credit for a few things. The outlook of the movie is refreshing. Locations, sets and picturization is top class except the laser scene. Characters are very stylish, specially Anil Kapoor and his dialogues. Dialogues are bold, couple of them cheap also but overall you will find a few very good and well placed dialogues.
The cast: Anil Kapoor is wonderful. Tanushree is hot and looking no less than some hollywood diva. Suniel Shetty and Arshad Warsi are ok. Emraan, is he an actor ? But one guy who really disappointed me was Irrfan. How come has he chosen this role. Usually his choice of roles is good but for the character he’s playing, there wasn’t anything to do as such and director should also be blamed for dishing it to such a talented guy.
Music : Few songs are good. Picturization is also good n lavish, infact the whole movie has been shot lavishly. But as I said earlier, almost all of them are wrongly placed and to be precise are not required.
Conclusion: Its your decision now. If you think its Chocolate-Deep, Dark Secrets then forget it and read the title again !
