Firstly, I had very very high expectations from this movie. I assumed the movie will be remarkably outstanding given its ensemble , the music and the director.But, i was disappointed, not because the movie was bad but because it could have been so much better.
I would give Om Prakash Mehra three cheers because he has done a marvelous work given the odd and complex concept of the movie. Performance wise - the movie had a near perfect ensemble of actors - except Abhishek who failed to impress here - but thats mostly because other actors of the movie performed exceptionally well. If i had to select the cast for the movie i certainly wouldn't have taken abhishek - he doesn't even looks like an NRI.
Technically the movie had a good concept, bad screenplay, good direction and pathetic editing.One of the most beautiful and my favorite song of the movie - "Rehna Tu" was used in the background while abhishek and rishi were playing pool . What was that???????? It was a small thing but i was so disappointed with that.There were other things also that were out of place - that song in new york and amitabh bachchan.How did they managed to put both of them in the movie when the movie had so much to show already - caste system,communal violence , black monkey and of course the love story.
I don't have words to describe the music of the film but i know for sure i am getting addicted to rahman. i don't even like to listen to any other music director.Thank god for giving us a r rahman.
I read somewhere that the movie has boring start, but i don't think the movie was boring at all. The movie did had a slow start but not boring thanks to a very good mix of humor that was there through out the film.
I would suggest , you bring your expectations to rock bottom before watching the film. My verdict - 2.5 out of 5
