Rush

Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Neha Dhupia, Aditya Pancholi, Sagarika Ghatge

Director: Shamin Desai

Genre: Thriller

Actually not a bad watch. Not to go by the box office success, this movie faired in my eyes.

Pluses:

• Emraan Hashmi, he may not look good, but he very well can act much more than just kissing his heroines around :P Doesnt disappoint here either as an ardent Crime reporter with some brains :)
• Neha Dhupia does a role that suits her, extremely feminish Indian roles or that of a slut doesnt actually go by her somehow. She shines as a corporate woman
• I have always loved Aditya Pancholi, he cannot look poor :D as simple as that. He is rich corporate honcho and the bad guy of the movie, very much convincing
• The script never slows down anywhere and that keeps you going. Needless to say, the story unravels the reality of media, news channels and their running authorities. I really dont mind watching a flick with some sense in it after all, sad to witness the box office is fairing for the ones without one
• Again goes without saying, music is always plus factor in an Emraan Hashmi flick. Its good to the ears

 

Minuses:

• Sagarika Ghatge, after so long that you get to see her onscreen, i wonder was she in a derth of any script at all so many days or she didnt want to pick any. I still cant figure out what made her choose this particular role, this one had nothing much for her to perform nor did she have any strength in the role to stand her out
• I guess the movie needed tadkas like that of Madhur Bhandarkar flicks to make a box office success for a reality based show. This one clearly lacked it

My rating: 3/5
