Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Jayden-Lee Thomson One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Nicolas Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

M MALIK This film came in 2003 and did not work because it was very simple till the climax it could have been a direct home release but it went theatrical it was also a remake of Harrion Fords Witness i have not seen that film so i cant comment on that however Paap is decent attempt by an actress turned director Pooja Bhatt the daughter of veteran director Mahesh Bhatt very nice,the actors,music & landscapes were awesome,it was a good tour of Spiti valley located at Himalayan mountains in India.The Plot:a cop protects a murder witness along with a Buddhist village girl from Spiti.The cast:John Abraham just looked awesome his body is amazing just like Van Damme in 90s,Udita Goswami made her debut in Bollywood and her performance was amazing,the voices of actors are dubbed but sounded great on theme.The highlight of this film was the soundtrack i loved all the songs but Garaj Baras by Ali Azmat is amazing the song fits on marvel comics hero Thor i don't know why but it reminds me of him the song used in this soundtrack is a bit edited at places if you know about Junoon band you must know that the song was from Daur-E-Junoon 2002 but also featured in album Dewaar 2003 still the score and rest songs make the CD a must buy.Not much is in this film its about how Shiven protected the little kid from corrupt cops and the sin Kaya is committing by falling in love with Shiven there is a funny scene in this film when John Abraham sits on a donkey it made me laugh hard director Pooja Bhatt shot this film with a beauty regardless of flaws i say its a nice film and should be appreciated for what it was.Overall Paap 2003 is a nice film to see if you like some good acting and breathtaking locations.My Rating is 5/10.

jisingh what happens when a great director turns to script writing, a seemingly successful producer takes up the task of direction, a not-so-known model thinks she has got the caliber of becoming a top actress, and a flop actor who thinks, not wearing a t-shirt will make him as popular as salman....? well... they can churn a comedy out of it!don't believe me?? have an example: (writing only the English translation of the dialogs, watch out the movie for the actual Hindi dialogs)scene: The climax: The villain is holding his gun and pointing it on the heroine. While everyone is watching this helplessly, the hero steps forwards.Fire the shot. I said fire the shot. If you want to kill someone, kill me. (He comes closer, and puts his head in front of the gun)who you're going to kill? Her ?? (points to heroine)or him? or this kid? | (camera moves to her father, then to a small kid...)and if you still don't get satisfied.. are you going to kill all of 'em? | (This time you see a dozen of villagers.)how many people you're going to kill? just how many...? Its enough. Stop all that (crap).|(The villain starts feeling sentimental, drops gun, bends down to knees, surrenders! Bravo... The power of emotions!)So this is what you see in this terribly acted, "witness"-copied, two hour drama: paapThe characters: A kid: who is the eyewitness of a murder. The hero: who is a police inspector, and his sole task is to save that kid from any danger, and taking him from DELHI to MANALI, safely. The heroine: who does nothing but feels lonely in the silence of MANALI, & then she writes some sentimental Hindi poetry (watch out the movie for a class poetry, well I mean, a third-class one.) A gang of three villains: who have got this big task of tracking down the hero & the only eyewitness of the murder, the kid.The storyline: The heroine comes to DELHI to take a kid (who is supposedly some avatar, according to her guru) back with her to MANALI, meanwhile the kid witnesses a murder. The hero jumps in, and finds out that the murderer was one of his senior officers. Now to save the kid and the heroine, he has to drive till MANALI (driving is a tough task you know.), meanwhile he gets hurt and then spends an entire month while getting well...No! he doesn't come back, its the villains who track him down, and come all the way to MANALI, & get killed (2 of them , the third one surrenders, as described earlier...) And what the guy does, while he is in MANALI?? well, one day he prepares daal (an Indian dish), the next day he milks a yak (watch out on discovery), another day he rides a donkey, & so on...Ohhh... by this time you must have been thinking, what the heck this name PAAP (means "sin") is given for then? well... In the entire movie the heroine is told almost a dozen times (by her father) that its a 'paap' for her to think about this guy! & here goes a dialog describing the complete movie in a sentence:heroine: "agar ye paap hai, " | If thats a sin.. | "to aaj mujhe ye paap kar lene do," | ..then lemme do it. | (and she touches hero's face and starts crying)Oh god. Was that the greatest comedy ever made or what?I heard this comment while walking out of the cinema hall:what the "#$@@!, Its us, who committed the sin. Bought a ticket worth 140 bucks. Might have got two bottles of beer w/ that money.

Herag Halli We need more Pooja Bhat's since she has singularly elevated the Hindi Filmdom to a new level. She has a incredible feel for the content and Characters. The new Entrant Udita Goswami as "Kaaya" bristles with a subtle nuance of a performance.I reckon she has a great potential. Pooja Bhatt's another find John Abraham could do better if he can get out of his Jism-trademark-psychosis looks, but he is refreshing to watch after you are fed the filth in movies like "Baazigar" and Ugly morons like Sharukh Khan,Salman Khan,Shakti Kapoor,Johnny Lever who have polluted the Hindi Films so much so you need a toxic cleanup. After you see the likes of Goswamy,Abraham,Jr.Bachchan,Saif Ali Khan, you feel you were duped and taken for a long time.The Music has a feel of the Fathe Ali Khan's divine melody with the superb Background music and one number that makes owning the CD a must. The Script tries to rancour and instill some Monasteric Principals and does it well, albeit with drama, since love is universal, neither Bollywood nor Hollywood has any Stakes as to how it should be depicted. The Fight scenes are cleverly done especially the one with the Rope. As far as the Villain's in Bollywood they are dime a dozen we need these morons for the front benchers who comprise the "Box-Office", who dictate much of the Filth and contribute to the decadence which explains the flourishing of movies like "Main Hoo Na", "Devdas" etc, since unscrupulous Media has to decipher and dictate for the unsuspecting audience. Overhaul the credit goes to likes of Pooja Bhatt,Aparna Sen,Nagesh Kukanoor who have the courage to standup and call a Spade a Spade.

AishFan With all the slick and the appealing trailors, I was expecting a very fascinating film. However, I was sadly disappointed. From the trailors, it seemed as if Uditi rebels against her traditions right from the film's start, but her character was misrepresented. I was expecting something more along the lines of Jism. The best part of this film is its setting. It is very unique, and I have not seen it before in an Indian movie. Spectacular cinematography in the mounatainous Karachi depicting Tibet was absolutely breathtaking. The look of the film is completely fresh and new. However, when going to the real hero of the film, the story, there is the rehash of the same Bollywood storyline. An extremely different setting does not give an excuse to use the same conflicts that we have seen over and over again (boy meets girl, dad against their union, etc.). John's character was different and rather self-centered. Songs were excellent.
