There was lot of things i would like to improve in the recent film I watched. For starters, the entire second half. The predictable whodunit part in the part after interval took the plot way below the standards set in the first half of the movie.
Bobo (Emraan) is an accomplished clairvoyant and magician who does amusing tricks and is loved by audience; his live-in girlfriend, Tamara (Huma) and Zubin (his soon to be adoptive child) until he starts hallucinating and commits mistake on stage. This also sees the return of Lisa Dutt (Kalki) who has come back from abroad for Bobo. The mystery in the first half is adrenaline gushing and keeps your eyes peeled. Bobo seeks help from a doc and gets visions of a lady called Diana whom his father dated and married. Apparently it turned out she was the dayan (witch) who was responsible for his sister, Misha’s and Father’s death. She was the reason of all misery that struck his family. He sees in his vision that he nicks a part of her braid to take away her evil power and she gets reduced to ashes and promises that she will come back for him. The doc dismisses Bobo’s visions saying it was his imagination but there was definitely more to it than met the eye.
Second half sees the suspicion Bobo has, the accusations he hurls on Lisa and his relationship with Tamara & Zubin. The plot after this point becomes predictable and I felt like I am watching Rosemary’s baby, little twisted.
I liked the movie because the graphics were nice, the first half was gripping and Konkona scared the hell out of me. There was something eerie about her cryptic walk, her glances and the way she knuckles down on the characters she plays. I was impressed!
The movie also came with an afterthought, that power of woman is so incomprehensible like druid’s dribble. It has been said in mythology, urban legends and folk lore. I can think of a line by Wordsworth,
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and waylay
Today while coming by car-pool to work, I overheard someone talking:
X: “How is Ashiqui 2 (a recently released movie)?”
Y: Yea, ok for one time watch
X: Star cast?
Y: Some Kapoor female is the actress and Vidya Balan’s brother-in-law is the actor
X: Oh nice!
The lead actor is Siddartha Roy Kappor’s (UTV) brother. Siddartha is married to Vidya Balan. And the actress is Shakti Kapoor’s daughter.
Tables are turning for Bollywood it seems!
