Run

Run is an action comedy-romance film directed by Late Jeeva and stars Abhishek Bachchan, Bhumika Chawla, Mahesh Manjrekar, Mukesh Rishi, Ayesha Jhulka, Vijay Raaz and Late Goga Kapoor.

A youngster arrives in Delhi and falls in love with a girl and she also reciprocates her feeling but is opposed by her gangster brother who also plots to kill the boy.

I have seen lots of Bollywood films and can't understand the logic of a girl getting impressed and eventually falling in love with a stalker. In this film also Abhishek portrays a role of stalker and Bhumika eventually falls in love with him, nevertheless let's come to the review of the film.

Run a film with a very substandard plot and equally substandard and pale execution. We have seen many films with such plot and this film also being made with the same mediocre and cliché way of film making.

Acting is decent and none of the character disappoints with Vijay Raaz as the most impressive of them all, however in my opinion Mukesh Rishi is wasted. The film is shot in Delhi hence the villain is been shown speaking in Haryanvi dialect which looked forced upon, Fake and unimpressive.

Screenplay is very pale and predictable and apart from periodic comic relief by the great Vijay Raaz there is nothing fresh in the film which can keep the viewers engaged, the climax of the film is unimpressive and the film ends on a very sudden note and lacks proper closure. Overall apart from the brilliant comedy by Vijay Raaz there is no reason to watch this pale and dull film.

Since there were no reviews on this movie - I figured I would have a comment. This movie was a lot better than I expected. There were too many songs, and none of them any good, however the fight scenes were better than any I have seen in a bollywood movie. Abhishek really looks like he can kick a lotta ass. It was entertaining and is definitely worth a watch.

The movie is about a guy (Abhishek Bachchan) who comes to Delhi to go to school, he meets a girl and falls in love. The problem is that the girl has a crazy mob boss brother, who cut the hands of the last guy who liked his sister. And now the goons are after Abhishek, and if he is not careful he will lose his limbs or his life.

I don't know if anyone else who has watched Hong Kong cinema agrees with me but this film is very much like the action films that come out every year in Hong Kong. From the storyline and plot right down to the action scenes and even comical scenes, there are just so many similarities. The only differences of course are that it it is in Hindi and it contains musical scenes, which Hong Kong films sadly do not have. Even though Abhishek will probably not come down as Jackie Chan, this film is worth watching if you like action films with kung fu fighting or if you are curious to know what experiments the directors in Bollywood are always up to.

Storyline: If at all there was a story, I could write about storyline. The movie has the same old formula where College goers Siddharth (Abhishek Bacchhan) and Jahnavi (Bhoomika) fall in love at first sight and Jahnavi's evil brother Ganpat (Mahesh Manjerekar) will go to any length to prevent any evil eye on his sister. I will leave it here since anyone can predict the rest of the story.

Comment: Pathetic Movie. If you feel that money and time have no worth, you can watch it in a movie hall. If you want to save money and have lots of time to spare, you can watch it on a VCD. Watching it on a VCD can spare you of the trouble of bearing through all the scenes. At least you can forward some of them.

Abhishek Bacchhan has the same look and feel as in all his movies. He hasn't improved much. Bhoomika is surely cute/sweet. She looks good with a bindi and her hair open. As far as acting is concerned, it's fairly average. Mahesh Manjerekar has, among the other actors, performed relatively well. Actually, the story is so very predictable that you wouldn't want to appreciate anybody's performances.

As far as comedy is concerned, Vijay Raaz has overacted in his roles. Rather than blaming him, it is better to blame the story writer, dialogue writer and the director. Music is listless except the title song "zara zara". In this song, it seems as if AB Jr and Bhoomika are competing for the "worst dancer" award!! Warning: Don't watch it in a movie hall. You don't get a chance to forward the scenes that you don't like.

Abhishek's films pre DHOOM flopped badly in fact like Sr Bachchan Abhishek too had 3 and 1/2 years flops and flops

RUN is another addition to the list the film is a remake of south RUN directed by the same director JEEVA The film is crap Same story done to death Same romance first half boring and the forced comedy makes you puke second half is also nothing out of the world

Some stunts are good but some are terrible especially the last one

Direction by JEEVA is bad Music is good

Amongst actors Abhishek does well in his role which is too stereotype Bhumika is ordinary Mahesh Manjerekar does his part well Goga Kapoor is okay Amongst rest Ayesha Jhulka and Mukesh Rishi are okay
