Hindi Movie Reviews

Story:
A well knit tale, the story is about two characters. On one hand there is Sona (Konkona) who comes with loads of dreams to make it big in the film industry and would not hesitate to compromise to any extent to reach her goal and is a rather naïve person in a way. On the other, there is Vikram (Farhan) who lets go of a comfortable lifestyle in Delhi just to pursue his dream but then he is smart enough to know the rules of the game and also to play the right card at the right time. As expected, both Vikram and Sona chance upon each other and love blooms. All this apart, there is the famous producer Rommy Rolly (Rishi) who believes in making movies only with superstars and has his own share of sentiments. Then there is Nina (Dimple), the ravishing beauty of the yesteryears who is keen on making her daughter Nikki (Isha) the queen of today. Rolly begins a flick with Nikki and this also has Zafar Khan (Hrithik), the superstar as the hero. Things take a change when Zafar decides to pull back out of the project leaving Rolly in the lurch. It is here that Rolly decides to break his beliefs and go for a new star cast and Vikram comes into the picture. What happens from there forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has come out with a very straight forward and realistic storyline and true to the material, the presentation was perfect and the narrative was intense and deep. The dialogues were well written, the script was tight and under the grip, the screenplay was executed brilliantly. The music suited the moods very well and there are two numbers that can definitely be taken home. Cinematography was top notch and the editing was brilliant. Costumes played a significant role in this one and every other department made its presence felt in a strong way. Coming to the cast, it was Farhan who has proved his mettle once again and has evolved as a perfect actor, he is natural and charming. Konkona was equally impressive with a super performance, Rishi was excellent, Dimple was dazzling, Juhi was just perfect, Hrithik was top notch, Aly Khan was apt, Isha was impressive. Among the guest roles, it was Shahrukh who stole the show and made his presence felt. The others were equally valuable in their contribution and did well to add value to the movie.

Conclusion:
The director needs to be given the entire credit this being her debut attempt and for having come out with such a mature handling of the entire project. While the first half of the film goes about in a lighter mode with the regular happenings of the industry, the second half takes an emotional turn and also an entertaining climax which culminates to a meaningful ending. The film will remain close to the hearts of those who are associated with the film industry and for those who want to know about the industry, this is a better insight. The film will run smoothly to the success mark without hitches. Well done folks!!!
