Watching the trailer, I had thought this movie would have some interesting twists, suspense and thrill. Like there would be confusion about the identity of the villain and the revelation would be mind blowing. All other people who were there in the houseful theater with me today, had thought the same. We all were severely disappointed. We were shown the same old, plain revenge drama that Bollywood has been making since it has been making movies.
Siddharth Malhotra (who plays Guru) is shown to be a ferocious contract-killer. But he looks like he has landed straight from ramp from a fashion show in Paris and he speaks like he has completed his MBA from Harvard Business School.
Shraddha Kapoor (who plays Ayesha) tries hard to do that typical vivacious heroine. Something like Hema Malini of Sholay or Kareena Kapoor of Jab We Met. But it doesn't work. Childlike innocence is one thing, outright childishness is another. I mean, she hires a goon and offers him some coins in a jar as payment. That isn't cute, that's irritating. Even a 4 year old kid doesn't do that.
The romance is lukewarm and looks forced.
Ritesh Deshmukh's negative character (Rakesh) did have some interesting shades and his scenes with Amna Shareef (who plays his wife) and Kamal Rashid Khan (who plays his colleague) were a bit interesting in the beginning but very quickly he turns into the typical Bollywood villain.
It's not the actors' fault. They did their job well. Director also did an OK job. But they can't go beyond the script. The script is bad. It is very shallow, clichéd and boring.
The nonsense shown is insult to audience. People in the movie can just keep killing whoever they want without any repercussion; it seems the villain has divine powers - like he can find the house of the girl who he saw in the train instantly; the terminally ill heroine looks like a figure of health.
I would not waste space on IMDb servers listing all the nonsense and plot-holes the movie has. If the script of a movie is interesting, all that can seem like cinematic liberty. But the script here is bad, as I said.
Don't be fooled by the trailer, you'll regret. Watch it when it airs on TV. It'll be soon, it seems.
