Good effort but lacks momentum!
I was biased towards this movie right from the moment the initial credits splashed on the screen. Convinced that I would like it. The fact that it was different from the ‘typical’ Bollywood movies, had bought me in the favor of this movie already.
However, as the movie progressed I began to realize that nothing is happening. I waited… and waited… and finally when the thrill was introduced, it lacked the momentum a thriller should be having.
When a thriller feels like a drama there’s something seriously wrong with the film.
Saif Ali Khan is extra-ordinarily good. He gets a good opportunity to prove his mettle. But everything else is just ordinary. The story is not so great… the mystery is not entirely unpredictable.
Still, the director deserves a mention. He shows his talent at many places. I especially liked the dream sequence. It was the best part of the whole movie.
Overall, it’s good that it lacks the over-used ‘masala’, but at the same time it’s bad because it misses out on the most important ingredient, Salt (read Script).
Good to watch it on CD. Not worth the ticket.
