Rare is the film which truly lives up to its name... This one is asal bheja fry. I really did not like it!The cast may remind you of Khosla ka Ghosla. But the movie is pointless, plotless and (mostly) witless. Vinay Pathak has acted well. The rest of the cast simply irritate, irritate and irritate.
Most of all Sarika.
So why did I see the film? Because Gaurav Malani - a guy whom I know and trust - wrote the review for JAM, recommending it highly.
"I can't believe this!" I smsed him after the show. "This is one of the most faltu films I've seen in recent times... How could you give it 4 stars?"
"Lol.. I thot the same when you reviewed Fanaa," he replied back.
So there you have it - if you violently disagreed with my review of Fanaa you may like this film. I get the feeling there will be two camps here - of the 20 odd people in the 1000 seater Regal cinema who paid to watch the show, a few were laughing. A lot.
The rest of us came out with a headache.
Oh, by the way, it's a remake of a French film. Which explains a LOT of things. There are some things which are best left untouched by remake artists. Anything French is one of them!
Other films releasing this weekend, reviewed by JAM:
- Bandidas
- Eragon
- Perfect Strangers
