Reviews
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
BubbleBollywood Aitraaz is nothing but a rip-off of 1994 Hollywood film Disclosure which starred the sexy Demi Moore and Michael Douglas.While Priyanka Chopra did her bit in a seductive vamp role, there were several laughable scenes like "Kuch thanda loge or you want something hot!" This was another poor imitation of Sharon Stone's famous leg crossing scene from Basic Instinct, another erotic thriller.What's disappointing is the performance of Akshay Kumar in this film although he had limited scope due to his role. Kareena does well by defending her husband in the court. The show stealer apart from Priyanka is Paresh Rawal. While Abbas Mastan have put in a few twists more than required, the courtroom drama is entertaining to say the least.
Uriah43 Although a little long, this turned out to be a delightful musical drama. Initially, this film starts out as a comedy with two young ladies of dissimilar talents getting their new job locations confused and winding up with the employment the other should have had. The comedy then shifts to romance which in turn becomes a musical. After the singing and dance die down it becomes a passionate drama. Now, although I am not a big fan of musicals I must confess that the songs and dance routines were superb and I enjoyed all of them. Likewise, the acting on the part of Akshay Kumar (as "Raj Malhotra"), the attractive Kareena Kapoor ("Priya Saxena") and Priyanka Chopra ("Mrs. Sonia Roy") was first-rate. I should also point out that Priyanka Chopra was incredibly beautiful having won both "Miss India" and "Miss World" in 2000. At any rate, I really enjoyed this film and I strongly recommend it for those who think they might be interested in something of this nature.
Manoj Ransing The first time I started watching this movie, in first ten seconds I realize that this is copy cat from movie "Disclosure". (I doubt if director has actually read the original novel). The scene where Raj pats his secretary's bottom directly gave me this hint. I was very disappointed, and then watch this movie, just for the sake of watching without any interest. But later, when I saw it on Television, I found it interesting. Right from the songs, music, story-telling, acting, everything is great. Raj who is now married and living happy life, gets a shock when his ex-girlfriend enters in his life as his Boss. She demands having sex with him, and he refuses. Hurt Priyanka (Boss/ and ex girlfriend) put a blame on him, as a rapist. Raj certainly not happy with this, puts a case on her in court. Finally with the help of his lawyer wife Kareena he proves that women can sometime have negative characteristics in case of sex. The story actually starts with the meeting of Kareena and Akshay, and slowly catch the main theme. Songs are pretty good and so overall music. Actingwise, Akshay is very good. Kareena and Priyanka are impressive in their characters. Director has done an excellent job, in bringing out drama slowly in the movie. Overall though, it is a copy cat movie, you will not regret watching it. (Now I own DVD of this movie.)
Malik Taufiq - ur - Rehman Awan Abbas Mustan are back with the bang and this time with a bold theme which tackles with the issue of sexual harassment, with an exclusive twist by placing the man as a victim and the woman as an aggressor. Till now the moviegoer has witnessed man-sexually-molesting-woman but this time its opposite. It has been inspired by a Hollywood flick DISCLOSURE.Raj Malhotra (Akshay Kumar), who works for a cell phone company, is popular amongst his circle of friends and work colleagues. But his world comes crashing down when he meets Sonia (Priyanka Chopra) again.Sonia is an ambitious model with great aspirations. She knows what she wants in life. She is prepared to achieve her goals, whatever the price. Her fundas in life are crystal clear: Nothing shall come in between her wants and desires.Raj is well aware that Sonia knew only one way to live and that was her way. And one fateful evening, things did not go her way. Sonia brings Raj's world to a screeching halt.Raj's wife Priya (Kareena Kapoor), once a lawyer herself, is prepared to do anything to protect her husband's honor and dignity.The deceitful dusk that threatens to put Rajs honor at stake, finds an adamant Priya at the opposing end. And from a content housewife, Priya becomes a woman with a mission that she must accomplish. She is now Rajs partner in more ways than one.Thrown into this web of deceit is Rajs boss, Ranjit Roy (Amrish Puri), who happens to be Sonias husband. He is a mere pawn in her hands.The drama has just begun. The court is far from adjourned and what happens next you have to watch by yourself.Akshays performance in a serious silent role is satisfactory and the audience will sure sympathize with his character. Kareena's part as a wife is impressive. But she fails to make a mark in the role of a lawyer. AITRAAZ belongs to Priyanka Chopra completely. She plays a glamorous role with a gray shade. Priyanka gets an opportunity to bear her claws and she does it with complete understanding of the character. She sneaks her way through the role like an expert, drawing audience hatred the way a magnet collects iron filings.Paresh Rawal and Anu Kapoor have made their wonderful input to the film as lawyers. A good courtroom drama viewer will see after a long time, after Damini (93). In a long courtroom scene, Paresh Rawal is able to keep the viewers engaged in the proceedings while Anu Kapoor appears in an impressive role after a long time. His last best performance was in Gardish (93). And the same year he started working for zee TVs program Antakshari.On the whole, AITRAAZ is a well-crafted thriller that meets the expectations in each and every department from story, direction till performances and music. Its a must to see movie. 3 1/2 Out of 5
