Andaaz

Acchi Kahani Acche Gaano Ke Saath

Jo bore Nahi Karti

"Andaaz" remains one of the forgettable movies of the recent past, owing to its poor story and its delivery. A love triangle combined with the story of family and faith could have been obviously presented better had the script or characters been worked out better. Here the story and narration don't look much interesting and performances are yet a major let down. Akshay Kumar had done many such average and forgettable movies in the time which won't be a major debacle in his filmography. Among two heroines, Lara Dutt looks a bit good in her latter role; whereas Priyanka Chopra in her first film gets unnoticed owing to a very weak and half cooked role. Overall it's a very routine film from Raj Kanwar, who has given better films like "Humko Deewane Kar Gaye" or "Judaai."

Rating: 1 star out of 4

I recommend watching this film because it's very simple to follow and is overall a good time-pass flick. Nothing new, nothing special, but still quite entertaining. It is watchable mainly due to its great melodious songs and its starring cast. Akshay Kumar is very sincere and effective as the sensitive Raj Malhotra. Beauty pageants Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra made a great debut. Lara impressed more, as she was the leading lady and had a good footage to showcase her histrionics. But Priyanka was much more fun to watch. She was attractive, naughty, vivacious and sexy. I'm not going to watch it again, but I really enjoyed the film for its light content and its profound Hindi film style.

One of the best films I have watched. Akshay is the BEST , He is the HERO. Lara & Priyanka will be the next stars in bollywood. Songs...............Kisise thum pyar karo & Aayega masa are wonderfull. Others are excelent.

What can I say about Andaaz?

Why is the world such a small place in bollywood movies? One should pass a law on coincidental occurrences in bollywood movies, and maybe them will they take notice of the real world going on's.

Akshay acting has really matured from the time he joined bollywood, with the most dramatic turn change since Dhadkan, with his acting in andaaz being very good. Lara and Priyanka are, well. typical beauty queens trying to act. To be honest they have potential, especially Lara, but I guess we will have to wait and see if she becomes another Ash or Namrita!

Positive points about the movie, apart from Akshay, are the songs which are really good, as are their picturisations. Story wise, it is the typical same old story recycled for the modern genre, with new faces and more skin. I think that the producers are hoping for the less-is-more theory, i.e. less clothes means more box-office receipts. But seriously, we need to get new and fresh screenwriters into the industry to bring in line with the demands of the new generation.
