Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
himanshu-tushar6 the movie is good but if some stupid comedy would not part in the movie & some forced songs which are specialty in cinema of Bollywood. the would be excellent. the relation of father son was terrific & tear jerker . the two leading actor was fine in their character & nothing seem over burden . specially the illness function of hero's father will make you cry. the climax was good. I remember the dialogue when son says to his father that " I have to earn enough to left your servant outhouse & I am leaving you" then father muttered slowly when the son left that " let not left me alone to die my son I am also leaving you forever" that dialogue will make impress you . if u fill the father son relation ship . other actors are good & average . the heroine has nothing to do. the mother character was short but okay & the character of servant will make you laugh for a minute in the such emotional movie. my last words are the movie would be excellent if some old formula & forced song would not fill the bill. but for this time I will give it 7 out of 10.
silvan-desouza After the superb AANKHEN(2002) which was a remake of a Gujarati play he comes with WAQT which too looks like a stage playIn stage plays, we have characters shouting, overacting here too the sameThe first half shows Amitabh almost kidding the 40+ Akshay Kumar who acts too funny like a small nerdThe film has a good message how not to spoil your son but sadly the way Amitabh wants to make Akki responsible is absolutely fakeEven his reason for hiding his sickness, his runnign from the hospital and the melodramatic speech by Akki is a put offSome emotions do touch you but most are too over the topRajpal's comedy is hilarious but too stretched in second half Direction by Vipul Shah is too overdone though some scenes are good Music is okayAmongst actors Amitabh overdoes it in the first half but is superb in emotional scenes Akshay Kumar too does his part well but looks umcomfortable in some too weepy scenes His chemistry with Bachchan is matchless Rajpal is a highlight, he makes you laugh without overacting and just his presence and his dumb behaviour and deadpan humour he is a riot Boman is good in some comic parts but too loud at places Priyanka is the heroine so nothing to do, this is her last film with Akki so far Shefali is awesome though she looks too young for Bachchan
HeadleyLamarr Amitabh (Ishwarchand) and Akshay Kumar (Aditya) are father and son, very very close to each other - yes very, they sing and dance together in night clubs, frolic together on beaches... Shefali Shetty is the mom. Aditya is a ne'er do well, and fully supported by his father. Turns out father is dying of blood cancer and has not told the son. The reason are silly, the ultimate engineered rift between father and son is is highly contrived, the situation that follows is even worse. There is a pregnant wife (Priyanka Chopra) who has to starve, Aditya is either picking leaves off lawns or being mauled by hungry dogs as a stunt man. BTW, the dogs seemed to be more playful than voracious. Then Aditya gets the break to make it big in showbiz and realizes what is wrong with dad - a tearjerker stage scene follows. The son is born held in grandpa's arms before he dies. The story is thin, lacks any substance whatsoever. The acting is mostly just about okay. The shine out folks are Shefali Shetty, Boman Irani and Rajpal Yadav. They make the film bearable. Music is strictly forgettable and all in all this one barely qualifies as a time pass. Watch it if you cannot go to sleep due to insomnia or jet-lag.
atindra Simply great movie no doubt about it. Great story and superb performances, be it Amitabh, Akshay, Shefali, Priyanka, Boman or Rajpal. Hindi film industry is going shameless with Mallika and Co, this movie is totally vulgarity free and therefore bound to fail in vulgarity addicted our Indian society. But the message and concept this movie carries are absolutely superb. Anu Malik(boring copy-cat) could have been avoided and Ismail Darbar or Himmesh Reshmmiya could have been used as musician. I think Vipul Shah should have given little bit Gujarati touch particularly in music also. Anu Malik is worst musician around and he thinks himself popstar but this is not the movie where is presence was required-He looks only good with Govinda style songs. I felt some nice serious music with couple of good Ghazals or sad songs could have made this movie more memorable.
