Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Sherazade Here is another example of a copy of a Hollywood film. This time it's UNFAITHFUL. Like Dhoom, it's a copy that was also a hit. Before I begin anything, let me just say that the best thing about this film for me was the song 'Kaho Na Kaho', which is the reason why I bought the DVD in the first place. That and the fact that Amisha Patel's brother Ashmit brings it on in it. Of the three main cast member, Ashmit is the only one who shows some hope of a long career in acting(if only he had the right connections), he even upstages the usually good Emran Hashmi. Mallika Sherawat, looking very much like Halle Berry in this role, plays a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage (she married her dead sister's husband at the request of her parents, in order for her nephew to grow up with both a mother and a father). The husband here is played by Ashmit Patel, and the lover who comes into the pictures in played by Emran Hashmi who was also Sherawat's character's former lover. Most of the film is told in flashback. The film begins with a police chase (they're chasing Sherawat) and after she is captured, she tells her story and reveals that somebody is dead. The audience now has to guess if it's her hubby or her lover and what lead to their demise as she tells her story. Much was made of Sherawat's notorious nearly nude scenes, sex scenes, kissing scenes as well as shower scenes but aside from the fact that she's more risqué than most, she is at least beautiful player in the Bollywood game. I have to say though that as much hoopla as was made of the scenes between Hashmi and Sherawat, the most sizzling scene to me didn't even involve those two. The most sizzling scene involved Patel trying to share a shower with Sherawat.
Vikas SS Storyline: The punchline of the movie says, "She is Married, She is lonely, She is having an affair". I guess this sums up the entire story. Now, one would be curious to ask, whether the skin-show is actually relevant. Well, I would recommend that you watch the movie to know more.Comment: The story line is inspired by Adrian Lyne's UNFAITHFUL (2002) starring Richard Gere, Diane Lane, Oliver Martinez, with sufficient changes in the story to suit Indian Conditions. The performances are quite average and bearable. Mallika Sherawat has created new standards for skin show in Bollywood with this movie.The Direction and Music have been given their due. The songs 'Kaho na Kaho' and 'Bheege Hont' would make the song worthy enough to have it as an mp3 in your collection. In general, the movie is watchable and makes a good pastime.
tiger900 I liked this movie cause it was a refreshing change away from the usual nonsensical dribble Indian movies are famous for.Unfortunately, the concept of originality seems foreign to Bollywood, as this movie is an almost complete ripoff of the 2002 movie "Unfaithful", starring Richard Gere, Diane Lane, and Olivier Martinez...with a few new twists here and there.Still, I gave it a high score cause it was fun to watch and good for an Indian film...plus we weren't drowned with inane dialogue and senseless song and dance routines every ten minutes.7/10.
AishFan Another adult thriller successfully wins over the masses. Mallika's loneliness was very well depicted with the story taking place in a foreign land with no friends and people who speak an incomprehensible language. Malika's dialogue of how a married woman's loneliness is a hundred times worse than a single lady's loneliness, of how she slept with a stranger (her husband) every night, really struck a chord. Ashmit Patel didn't have much of a role but did a good job in whatever he did do. Mallika's romantic interest wasn't that impressive. Songs are outstanding! "Bheege Hont" is a mesmerizing romantic track, and "Kaho Na Kaho" is a captivating track that is definitely my new favorite song. Groovy beats, melodic rhythm, good intertwining of Arabic language, and an overall haunting melody make this song addictive. The story mainly picks up in the second half and is quite unpredictable. Mallika may be the new sex symbol, but she is definitely not a quality actress. Her dialogue delivery in the movie was absolutely pathetic as were her acting skills.
