Amazing Thriller
The film's tag-line said it all which is "The most shocking thriller of the year". It was really shocking with twists & turns that were impossible to predict. You just don't know who is bad, who is good? and what is their motive? Do not mistake this film as another love triangle about two guys fighting for one girl because it's completely different. Urvashi Sharma (Sophie) was OK for her first film but Bobby Deol (Karan) and Akshaye Khanna (Vicky) were terrific as usual, it is great to see them again after Humraaz. Music is excellent composed by one of my favourite composers Pritam. The best songs are Ek Din (which stands out with its memorable Spanish guitar intro) and Aye Dil sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. Abbas-Mustan are known for creating good music in all of their films. They are one of my favourite directors; I loved their films ever since I seen Baazigar. Although they are inspired from Hollywood movies but their films are better than the original which are: Naqaab- Dot the I (2003) 36 China Town- Chinatown (1974) Aitraaz- Disclosure (1994) Humraaz- A Perfect Murder (1998) Ajnabee- Consenting Adults (1992) Daraar- Sleeping with the Enemy (1991) Baazigar- A Kiss Before Dying (1991)
Last 30 Minutes Saves It!
'Naqaab' which comes from the stable of the director duo Abbas-Mustan is a watchable movie! One wouldn't come out of the theater cursing it or ruing the wasted money!!! The first half of the movie is below par but I have given it a rating of 6 because the last 30 minutes really takes the graph of the movie to a new level. The first half seems a half-baked plot where all the three leading protagonists (Akshaye Khanna, Bobby Deol and the new Urvashi Sharma) are trying to create a love-triangle/drama of sorts. The character sketch in the first half not up to the mark and I can see a lot of viewers losing patience at the intermission mark. But boy, the movies does take a good turn in the second half. Though the movie is a rip off from a Hollywood flick (I would not name it though), it would come as a good enough thriller for Bollywood fans. Acting is not the strong point of the movie, Akshaye is strictly O.K. and Bobby Deol needs to get back to form really quickly. For her first movie, Urvashi is fine (and she is a quite a treat on the eyes). Another good thing is that song interruption is minimum in the movie (just 3 songs and one is kind of introduction). So all in all an average movie! Watch it just for sizzling Urvashi and the last 30 minutes.
The best Hindi Movie So far....in 2007.
The movie was great!!!. I saw a good Hindi movie after a long time. I have sure heard of Abbas-Mustan duo but got a chance to see their movie in Naqaab. I can see why they are making waves in Bollywood and Indian Cinema. This movie started like a triangle love story movie with a slow pace. I thought come on.... Hindi movies are always like this... but the directors kept us a question mark, nagging from where Aksay Khanna is introduced. After the interval... believe me it was racy, twists and turns, funny sometimes and finally the ending sealed the movie as one of the best movies of this year!. Bobby Deol... he comes as a multimillionaire and he is in love with Urvashi Sharma... they live together in the same bungalow in Dubai. She works in a restaurant and they planned to get married. In the engagement's's party by Urvashi she meets Akshay and subsequent meeting she falls in love with him. Bobby has played a meaty role with ease. He shows good acting in the first half as soft spoken lover and in the second half he plays/dons all kind of roles. I loved him in this movie. Urvashi Sharma.... first thing first... she has a great body, sexy eyes... my wife was jealous on her!!!!:). . A cute doll and she plays her role to perfection. Akshay Khanna.... well... he comes as a charming boy... does lot of tricks, deceives and flatters to win the love of Urvashi and us. He is good in his role, subtle in the second half. All other supporting cast have done great job to lift the movie. The movie has all elements of masala bollywood cinema and yet strikingly different from bollywood movies which has big stars like bachans or rai's or khans or johor. Go watch the movie!!!... if you have appetite for a different cinema. Sriram Plus Points: Abbas-Mustan, Screenplay, Plot and all actors. Minus Points: hardly...no minuses
A joke of a thriller
I always like Abbas-Mustan films like KHILADI, BAAZIGAR Off late their films are being bad like AITRAAZ, TAARZAN, 36 CHINA TOWN NAQAAB a remake of DOT THE 1 Sadly this film is a complete joke of a film First half is typical Hindi love triangle with everything looking fake Be it Bobby- Urvashi love story or Akshaye- Urvashi or even the too much cuts- edit and everything actually the kiss after The EK DIN song and all the hot scenes are badly handled Few comic scenes are fine here and there but then the film does a 360 turn and becomes even worse in the last few reels The entire turn of events make the illogical film a farce Imagine you are laughing at the film being typical Hindi stuff first and then when it tries to be bold it makes you cringe The sets, wardrobe design all seem too cheap Abbas-Mustan gives one of their worst films ever Music is saving grace, EK DIN is good Cinematography is good Bobby looks bored in first half and manages some scenes towards the end well Akshaye Khanna with a bad wardrobe is wasted though he manages to leave a mark as always but now his role, style is getting predictable Urvashi reminds you of Udita Goswami and Rakhi Sawant which isn't a good thing, her voice is awfully dubbed too Vikas Kalantri and Vishal Malhotra tax your nerves
It's offbeat and its good
Another off beat movie for the Indian movie-goers, and it ain't that bad. Naqaab has a distinctly different style of story telling, and coupled with some exquisite shooting locations it is a visual treat to the eye. Urvashi Sharma is pretty good too. She's a delight to the eyes of every unmarried male. Although I must say the acting in this movie especially of Bobby Deol and Urvashi Sharma was pathetic. Akshaye Khanna is good, but this isn't his best of roles either. The story is like any Abbas-Mustan thriller. Ripped/adapted from classic Holly flicks. This time around its loosely based on The Truman Show, and no, SLV isn't the derived movie theme. It has a lot of twists and turns towards the end, which makes up for the pathetic first hour of the movie. At one point of time it was hard to imagine if the movie is a thriller or a comedy. The songs aren't that good, the camera work which should have been exquisite,considering video camera plays a chief role in the movie, isn't up to the mark as well. No point harping on the plot, it is basically a love triangle with a good twist in it. Its a fun watch at the end of the week, after facing the brunt of your boss' wrath.
