Saw kidnap.. nilanjana made us leave in the interval which is totally against principals.. i really do enjoy a good laugh if nothing else in a film and i can't think of a film i had more fun watching than Tashan during with kuber and i laughed our behinds off! But Tahsan of course had a totally marvelous Akshay ji Kumar Ji..
This one should be retitled cleavage.. and no difference between the sexes here.. feminism has won and women arn't the only ones to be seen as sex objects anymore. The only person not trying to show it in the film was the poised and pleasant (what to do i just like her as mummy ji) Reema Lagoo.. and thankfully so.. no such luck with sanjay baba though. There was of course the expected laughter when minisha lamba called vidya malvade "mom" and even more laughter when she called Reema Lagoo "nani" and between the shaky plot and the shoddy dialogues they manage to show quite a bit of skin.
I figured out why they called it kidnap though.. thats what Sanjay Ghadvi thought of first and them worked backwards to writing dialogues and then finally a plot and a story.. which incidentally was also the order in which they appear during the whole experience. It still takes a tanned, pouting and vaguely sinister looking(how sinister can you really look while doing the dishes!!) Imran Khan to tell Minisha and the audience "this is a kidnapping"!!!!!
Why is a poor kidnapper worried about not breaking dishes as he can't afford replacements getting the kidnapee (minisshhhhaaa) skimpy designer clothes.. why does be get high tech diving equipment and kidnap her as she's swimming and not simple from the beach.. how far into the sea does she really get for him to require diving gear.. was sanjay dutt a stuntman before be became a businessman.. was there a big bust competition between the mother and daughter were the dialogues supposed to be funny or was that an accident .. these are all question the audience mustn't ask coz obviously the director didn't..
The movie is fast paced and slick.. The title sequence is interesting with the Kill bill type animation which all but hints at Sexual abuse in juvenile homes.. lots of physical abuse though.. perhaps coz we'r still fighting the homosexuality battles in the courts and not just in the lockups. Minisha barely gets an item number's worth of skin show before she's whisked away..Sanjay Dutt is quick to respond and the film moves fast.. like a hollywood film... or rather like those korean films that they copy in hollywood.. but thats about it.
Minisha's unconcerned portrayal of a girl waking up in a strange house with a strange boy pottering about really makes me want to forward all those emails about date rape and organ stealing over again.. if i woke up in a strange house after being dragged away from under the sea.. i'd be a little more bothered!
Of course i only saw half the film and so i have no right to comment on the whole thing.. just that personally.. but between imran's clevage and pout and minisha's dialogue delivery from between clenched teeth.. i vote for the nice salted popcorn at PVR!
Sanjay dutt looked haggard and old.. vidya malvade had clothes a bit too tight and makeup way too perfect for a woman worried about a kidnapped daughter but i guess thats just my own prudery. I really wouldn't bother enough to go and see the second half even on DVD.. would like to hear it from someone though.. With Drona for competition playing in the next hall all the Bollywood buffs agree with Imran. "Hell is right here".
