Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Sherazade The president of India as well as his daughter as kidnapped and held hostage at a remote location during a visit to Switzerland and it is up to Captain Aditya Arya (played by Arjun Rampal in one of his many action-hero roles) to be deployed there and save them with his military/James Bond-like skills.You can always trust Naseeruddin Shah to bring it as a bad guy any day and any time, and he does just that as Sameer 'Sam' Hans a man with unclean hands and strong ties with terrorism groups. His men lure an Indian pop star named Alisha (played by Priyanka Chopra) to Switzerland under the pretext of making her an even bigger star but it all turns to hell when her best friend/sister is murdered for overhearing a terrorist plot. Her luck changes when she meets Captain Aditya who promises to help her escape from the clutches of evil. Too bad the pairing of Chopra and Rampal was particularly very bad here. They had zero chemistry in this film, it was painful!Look for passable action scenes featuring Rampal, and okay dance numbers featuring Chopra. The star of the show is truly Naseeruddin Shah in major bad guy mode. Mohan Agashe, Yashpal Sharma, Tom Alter among other co-star in this action packed adventure. Look for an eye-popping item number by Mumait Khan in the song 'Mashuqa Rubi.' Strictly for fans of specific stars in the film only.
Andrea I saw this movie with some hopes, despite its dull performance at the box office. I was disappointed. Low points: Stereotypical bad guys - I mean come on, the whole Pakistani/Kashmiri/Jihad plot is just so OLD. I am really sick of movies featuring this subplot as they just never offer anything new in terms of villain motivation or behaviour. You can predict what they'll say before they do and it's certainly not good for relations between the two countries. Find a new source of bad guys already, Bollywood.Direction: The director had some snazzy techniques of using a split screen. Then he overused it way too much by putting this technique in every few minutes.Priyanka's character: Unneccessay side plot without any character development or motivationBad music: absolutely no memorable or inspiring musicPredictable storyline: enough saidGood points - Arjun Rampal: Arjun is looking as gorgeous as ever, so if you're female you'll probably enjoy this movie. He's also quite a good actor and very good in an action role.Naseeruddin Shah: This guy is a scream every time I see him. His villain was one of my favourite parts of the movie he was so campy.All in all the world would not have been at a loss if this movie had never been made. However, Arjun Rampal is quite good and very nice to watch, so rent it on video and fast forward the boring/bad bits.
filippo-3 I live in the region where this movie was shot and i find funny to see my town and other village in an Indian movie. But i find that this movie is a little bit boring, i mean, an action movie of 2 1/2 hours is TOO MUCH. the history need a lot of time to start and only in the last 3/4 hour it was very good to see. I think that in europe it will not work because we are not understanding why in an action movie people have to sing and dancing all the time. By the way I think that with some cutting and deleting for an European public this movie can work. And if you want to come in switzerland..keep cool! I never see so much dead people in our country!! ;-)
artiste-3 Watched this film with an audience of....5 in total! Had a choice between Lakshya and Asambhav...(realized then I should have gone for Lakshya). A typical plot...India v Pakistan..but just isn't cricket as you have Kashmir in the middle. An Indian super hero goes on a mission to save the President of India from some Pakistani rebels who are involved in a mass drug smuggling racket. I left the film half way as it was simply boring and the plot was confusing and all over the place. The songs were also awful, the film tries to hide the flaws with its special effects but unfortunately they are outdated too.Overall...avoid it if you can, has to be the worst film I've seen this year.
