Review of Musafir

Musafir (2004)
Some good - some bad
25 December 2004
Warning: Spoilers
Musafir makes you wonder what is going on?

Some reasons why NOT to watch the movie Filled with absolutely unnecessary songs throughout.

Drug lord singing songs in Limousines?

Unconvincing plot - the whole movie revolves around Bila(Sanjay Dutt) wanting his money - that he gives away at the end??

The movie had a famous 'item bomb' search - which song was the actual item number was difficult to identify - all looked like item numbers to me.(Later realized that the song in the limo - 'Tez dhaar' was the one)

Dead bodies dropping like flies - an no law enforcement agencies searching for the culprits - except Aditya Pancholi - a corrupt cop himself who drops a few bodies left and right.

Story drags in the first half.

Some reasons TO Watch the movie

Brilliant individual performances by all cast - specially Anil Kapoor and Mahesh Manjrekar. Sameera Reddy impresses too.

Wonderful presentation - specially the handling of Lucky(Anil Kapoor ) as he hears both sides of the story from Looka (Mahesh Manjrekar) and Sam (Sameera Reddy)

Humorous in places - specially the satire on Hindi movies - References to Zanjeer, Muqaddar ka sikandar ,Sholay and 'Cops always arrive late - weather real or fake ones' are hilarious.

So go watch it! you will enjoy the popcorn if nothing else!!!
