Review of Vaada

Vaada (2005)
4/10
Could've been a great film
14 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Sometimes filmmakers spoil the chances of making a good film VAADA by Satish Kaushik is one such film The film starts off as a good thriller but is ruined by bad handling and writing. The film starts off slowly establishing characters through flashbacks even the interval point is superb and the rest of the film becomes a cat and mouse game which is good but gets predictable. Worst are scenes that defy rationale like Zayed landing up at a house to keep ornaments even though he is a prime suspect. Also the courtroom drama isn't riveting But the climax is superb, Arjun meeting Zayed is superbly caned

Direction by Satish Kaushik is good in parts but overall not great Music is okay, Vaada Hai is a good song while Udd Jaaye comes at a wrong place

Arjun Rampal played a blind man in Aankhen and was criticised those days his films never worked but here he is awesome especially in the second half, one of his best works. Amisha Patel has a short role and she ruins that too by her hamming Zayed Khan makes his role into a cartoon when he shouts He apes SRK badly in scenes where he has to be obsessive Rakesh Bedi is okay, Rajesh Vivek is given a stupid role Alok Nath is typecast.
