Zeher

Bhatt favorite Emran Hashmi attempts to prove his worth once again and again fails to do so. Udita Goswani also is a damp squib as she lacks expressions and just provides steam to the movie. Shamita Shetty, however, easily steals the show. With Mohabbatein being history, she desperately needed to be relaunched. After losing a lot of weight and having a much more glamorous look, Shamita also bags a powerful role in which she proves that she is here to stay. She does an excellent job, especially in her confrontation scenes with Emran, displaying anger, frustration, suspicion, and sorrow very well. The story is quite interesting. The first half is awesome, but it starts to slow down a bit in the second half. However, in the end it is still a good movie. Songs are good, but Woh Lamhe is undoubtedly the best track of this album and one of the best of 2005.

I get very ticked off when Indian filmmakers take a Hollywood movie and give it their own spin and call it their invention. In reality all they have done is added some songs in the midst. The master of Plagarising is Bhatt Camp, I could name all of their movies being copies of Good Hollywood movies. Murder-- Unfaithful, Paap--The witness, Awara Pagal Dewana--The whole Nine Yards, Saaya--Dragonfly, Zeher--Out of Time, I am telling you all of Bhatt's movies can be linked to a Hollywood flick. The funny thing is nobody is catched on to it yet, the movie is a frame to frame copy. After couple initial frames it clicked right away. Zeher is a good remake, usually they screwed it up big time. It just bothers me when people give credit to people who have done nothing but watched a English version on their DVD player. As far as the performances go, Emraan had big shoes to fill considering he was playing Denzel's part, he tries but at times in comparison he does not get the same impact as Denzel. Shamita played her role the best but then she was playing Eva Mendez's part, she is not all that known for acting. Udita looked cute in paap, here she looked awful to me. She didn't impress me as far as her performance was concerned. Ninad Kamat played a good part. If this movie was a hit then I feel bad because the audience has been cheated of their money, just go to a video place and get out of time, 2003. Much better movie with a treat of watching Denzel act. If Indian audiences are filled in theatres for some teaser nonsex scenes, might as well watch Hollywood flicks, they show more, do more, and have hotter chicks. I hate Mahesh Bhatt, He is a thief, i don't mind remaking a film, but don't give yourself credit for writing the story or concept, which he does every single time. Although, I would give Zeher a good score, just because its different than other bollyflicks.

Do you like soapy actors and actresses? Soapy lines and writing? Soapy camera work? Soapy music? Oh, and stolen plots and cliches? Then this movie is for you. I gave it the extra star for subtitle quality - very good!
