Laugh!! Amazed, since this is a drama movie, how one can laugh over it, but I was, over the non-existent plot, non-existent situations, non-existent Acting, and non-existent background score. Everything was worse in this movie except 1-2 songs. Pradeep Sarkar, you shouldn’t have touch young genres. Parineeta was the classic, and this was the blunder. Thanks that I watch it on CD and not in theatre.
The plot says about a small fighter One-shot Nandu (Neil Nitin Mukesh), who wants to become big in underworld, and about an aspiring skater from slums, Pinky Palkar (Deepika Padukone). One day, Nandu hit Pinky when he was driving a SUV, and that makes her blind, now its Nandu’s turn to make her see again and to fulfill her dreams of becoming a great star and to win "India’s Got Talent", and he will become her skating partner. Obviously, Pinky doesn’t know that Nandu hits her. Rest is predictable, down to the situations. There are two desperate cops who want to solve this non-existent case of Pinky and the underworld connection, who started working unofficially on the case, and then you can imagine.
Unimaginable thought creep into my mind, like How-come Nandu’s character (Neil is single pasli, as you say) can hit and beat the opponent in just one shot! And aren’t we bored of small-town big-aspirations characters, like Pinky here is. Director tries to put everything and tries to mix it but it gives you a mash, putting underworld, love story, cops, aspirations, friendship, inspirations and really none of these worked. Instead movie looks like an advertising platform for "India’s Got Talent", which in reality, did host great talents from all over India, and judged by 3 fools, who talked about judging goods and bads in those talents, although they themselves are no talents (except Shekher Kapur). Editing (Sanjib Datta) is poor, and its looked like a whole lifetime while watching it to me. Nothing new in dialogues (Gopi Puthran) or cinematography (N Natrajan Subramaniam). Even the Background score didn’t help it, which uses "Dhatad Tatad" song many times in the movie. Actions were normal by Sham Kaushal, nothing great to mention. Songs are okay, for music and to listen one time. Best composition is the title track, sung by Ronit Sarkar. Other worth listening are "Man Lafanga", "Dhatad Tatad", and "Rang Daalein". The music was given by R Anandh. Other than normal acting of Neil, and bad acting of Deepika, Piyush Mishra was wasted as a small time Mumbai don Usman Bhai., alongwith the talented Kay Kay Menon (Anna).
Since I watched the movie on Cd, that was why I am late to review on this one, but I am really saved, and thanks whoever prevent me to watch this movie in theatres, because I was excited for it when it was released. Don’t laugh, instead watch something comedy if you want to laugh (like Doordarshan’s serial Sagar brothers’ Aankhein! Lolzz, it was also not comedy, but called as action serial!)
Ruchir.
