Monsoon review :
Known mostly for his soft porn English films in the '90s, Jag Mundhra's Monsoon (1999) actually got an extensive release in India with its Hindi dubbed version for two reasons :
One was the presence of Gulshan Grover who played the main villain. He also got in to a controversy that time for calling Helen Brodie racist as she refused a sex scene with him while happily agreeing to do a nude foreplay with her American co-actor Richard Tyson.
Secondly, the film was entirely shot in Goa with its exquisite beaches and churches in full glory which made it appeal more to our desi crowd.
While the Indian censors expectedly played spoilsport by snipping off the two lovemaking scenes, the end product turned out to be a criss cross between a routine Bollywood reincarnation drama and an Ashok Amritraj C grade Hollywood stuff. In one word, disappointing.
