Cash

I recently got an opportunity to see Cash, well I wasn't expecting much from the film but even then it was a disappointing affair.

Even though the movie has an excellent line up of stars, some how their true potential could not be extracted.

A lot of animation was unnecessarily used in this movie perhaps to save money which would otherwise have been used for SFX.

The movie had so many goofs, it seemed the editing team was asleep while cutting the final prints.

All in all Ajay Devgan has some good moments but they are a far cry from saving this move. Watch this at your own risk.

A horrible film. Simply horrible. Much worse than might be expected of a cast, most of whom have at least played a few really good roles in their lives. My expectations weren't particularly high, and I definitely didn't expect a masterpiece; but even truckloads of popcorn can't turn this movie into something remotely entertaining. I did my very best to follow the story somehow, in spite of its (to put it gently) fragmentary beginning. After that, however, all sense is lost completely, until nobody knows anymore who is chasing whom and what for. Utter chaos. The animated sequences that somehow manage to amuse in the beginning, become irritating soon. I have a strong impression that the director of this movie tries to imitate Oliver Stone's manners, but whereas Stone uses them as a means to convey something, in this case it's nothing but tricks. Add a few misplaced comic sequences to the mix, lots of action sequences that would have worked if we knew at least what they are about, and there you have it. It looks like they tried damned hard to conceal a lack of budget and a lack of script, but failed on both accounts. Expect for the title song, which is sort of funny, the songs aren't worth mentioning either. The background score is better, in my opinion. As for the acting:

Ajay: not bad, but nothing particularly good either.

Zayed: how is it possible that this actor keeps on playing in movies, despite an obvious lack of talent?

Ritesh: a nice role and well performed. The most bearable part in the whole movie, if you ask me.

Sunil: completely colorless, which is a pity, because he's too good an actor for this type of junk.

Esha: never liked her until I saw "Darling"; not too bad in this movie, I'd say.

Diya: hard to say. I like her, but I don't know why myself.

Shamita: it took me a while before I was sure this wasn't Shilpa, but Shilpa's younger sister. They are very similar to each other, in the same way as Kareena and Karisma are. Not so bad either.

It simply blew my mind off. What was Director thinking while directing this movie ? I am sure he must have shown it to others before it was released, did no one tell him how much he has goofed up.

It could have been an interesting plot, but thanks to direction, editing and screenplay it never blooms properly.

And as couple of posts earlier, the cartoons sucked, not sure what was the team thinking, but cartoons spoiled the show. Whenever it was time for real action, they threw in cartoons and killed the excitement, which anyways was hard to build.

**To be avoided at any cost**

Gosh, I was hoping for something crazy cool and ended up whiling away a few hours with something that was crazy crap. Its as good as a bunch of random clips stuck together, and every neat scene is replaced with some bad cartoon placeholder. Like, WHAT!

If I were the editor I'd have slapped the director for imaging that to be a MOVIE.

Last I checked a movie was a story told in the form of a video, and here I was watching crap told in the form of a wannabe video. For all the neat marketing they did, who'd have thought that crap would've been the result...maybe they'll do us a favor and title the movie CRAP next time...

Lets hope to god that Bollywood shuts this movie away for the rest of forever and all directors keep in mind to never pull another Cash...

Well, honestly I expected a better movie from Anubhav Sinha. He did an okay job with DUS. With CASH, he bowls a complete zero. The story wasn't thought out well. I wonder if there was a script at all! Nothing is in place in this movie. Ajay Devgan looks bored and his pairing with Shamita Shetty looks odd. Shamita impresses with her stunts but the script lets her down. Zayed Khan has style and can go miles in the future. Riteish looks somewhat bored too but does an okay job in the comedy department. Esha Deol was a huge disappointment! Suniel Shetty was utterly ridiculous as the villain. He is an actor who never got the opportunity to invest his talent in a good movie. And judging by his looks and age, we better hope for his retirement from acting as soon as possible! Dia Mirza did what she has to do and that was about it. She does nothing to rise above a mundane script. CASH would've been an exciting, never-before-seen action thriller of Bollywood. But the script lets it down completely. The climax was so disappointing that you feel like shooting the writers to death. Avoid!!!
