Roy

Why did I watched Roy... mostly because of my trust on Ranbeer Kappor... But then I asked myself what is he doing in such a movie. Then I asked what is anybody doing in this movie... and then I asked what am I doing in the theatare. But in spite of repeated temptations to leave the theatare, I survived till the end, mainly because I hoped something will happen. but that's the trouble. Nothing at all happens in the movie. From start to end, in most of the scenes there is only one character on screen, generally smoking or drinking. the dialogues and monologues(there are a lot of monologues) are not natural. A lot of scenes, if not all, are unnecessary. there are hardly 4-5 characters in the movie (including both real and imaginary characters), out of which 2 are played by Jacklin. First Jacklin is the sri lankan beauty we know ( that came as a relief) other Jacklin is wearing some kind of makeup which is making her look like a vampire. Songs are good... but their placement is so abrupt in the two and a half hour movie , and you are so bored with the movie that you can hardly enjoy them. Locations are good, but monotonous dark and gloomy picturization spoils them too. I can understand that the director did not wanted to make a Bollywood masala movie, but trust me, this movie is not above Masala, This is way below Masala. Conclusion: Don't watch this movie even if you are paid for it.

I had many expectations from this film, 'Roy'. But it proved to be an extremely senseless, illogical, third class, and a boring film.

There is lack of comedy, suspense, thrill and a proper script & story which was expected to take a good grip. The entire film is filled with useless and non-sense dialogues. All audience in the hall were wondering like when something will 'happen' in this movie. The part before interval contained only dialogues n dialogues....though some of the songs were nice.

You better avoid this film at any costs. If you want to watch this movie, watch it only and only if you can't get good sleep at home, or your air conditioner is damaged! You may give it a try if you want but at your own risk!

Fifty minutes in to the movie I started to ask the question 'What is going on here? Where is the movie I was promised by the trailer?' Nearly all the scenes that were in the trailer have been played out by now. You could stare at Jacqueline or Ranbir or Arjun and you could sing along with the chart buster songs. That's it, that's all you can do in the theater after the first 20 minutes or so. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen more than what the movie has to offer.

Somewhere in the 'intellectual' dialogs and sleek, stylish cinematography lies buried the dreams of an amateur director with a lot of potential. Vikramjit Singh will need a lot more nurturing before he can make a coherent movie. I have nothing to spoil the plot, that is how bad the movie is. I would give this 0 out of 10 just because the promise was not delivered upon.

I have been fortunate enough to know people who have made 15 minute short films with more sense and better vision. None of the actors are at fault although one would not have expected Ranbir Kapoor to be part of such a movie. Maybe even he was fooled by the seemingly engrossing premise like the rest of us.

This is my first review. I had to write it because this is the movie I stepped out of in an hour even when I had no other plans. It's awful.

• Fake accents dripping into Hindi as well - Arjun Rampal could have been replaced with a cactus with zero change in the quality of cast (really) - Again, atrociously incorrect fake accents - Dialogues so cheesy and dumb that you will get tired rolling your eyes.

• Arjun Rampal's character was trying to be as witty as Dr. House failing miserably.

• I can't say how bad the story was because, like I said, I left the cinema after an hour of sheer torture.

Take your money and meticulously tear it into 100 small pieces. You'll get more mental stimulation from that than watching this movie.

Roy is a pathetic attempt by the debut director Vikramjit Singh. It is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. Poor script with equally poor direction will make you pull your hair even before the interval of the movie. The talents of Arjun Rampal and Ranbir have been completely wasted. The viewer will never get a hang of what is happening on the screen. The narration is equally pathetic. There are a lot of continuity errors in the movie making the viewer puzzled.

The songs of the movie are good.

The only point for which one should go to watch Roy is the beauty of Jacqueline Fernandez.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND PRECIOUS TIME WATCHING ROY.
