THE PLOT –

All Hype & No Fizz – Kaminey summed up so to speak..!

With all the hype surrounding the movie that was further fuelled by exaggerated star ratings by various critics, I was led to believe that my weekend was awaiting an exceptional treat (It also doesn’t give you a reality check when your batchmates who’ve already seen the movie tag it a treat all the way.. morons is one word you can attribute to such leechers!)

There is absolutely no plot in the movie – the ending is a foregone conclusion and ever so slowly meanders towards the same along with two brothers (twins) with vocal impairments. And yes, don’t be surprised if you find yourself struggling hard to ward off your dozing instincts during the run of play.

THE CAST –

Shahid Kapur is a mere shadow of his Jab We Met self meaninglessly having to cope with the unnecessary impairments of vocal faculty. The support cast too seems to be struggling hard to deliver but sadly aren’t able to bail out a sinking ship.

Priyanka Chopra is the only saving grace – she looks great in the much restrained make-up version and is exceptional in her dialogue delivery and screen presence. Two thumbs up to her lone act..!

THE MUSIC –

Vishal Bharadwaj has lost the touch not just in his direction but also music direction it seems. You seriously doubt if this is the man who gave us Maachis and Omkara. Except for Dhan Te Nan and the wedding number (perhaps rendered more hummable by Priyanka Chopra’s act) – absolutely nothing makes you take notice.

THE VERDICT –

I have my doubts in giving a verdict this time around, the reason being so many ‘elitist’ brains around me declaring this a treat – but then, what the hell.. I’ll give mine anyways..!

In case you have nothing more worthwhile to do, you can definitely go for this one – otherwise, I doubt if you will ever have the same respect towards most movie critics out there.

THE SCORE –

5.50 / 10.00
