Vaada

I have to say that Satish Kaushik's first attempt at a thriller wasn't that hot. The story was kind of interesting, but somehow the screenplay just does not manage to engross the audience as a thriller really ought to. Many of the events are predictable (although not all are). Those that are not do not seem to make sense, especially the true reason for Amisha's death, which I won't reveal. Arjun gave a good performance, and Zayed also did very well. He seems to be improving very quickly. Amisha was OK. Songs were OK. I liked Teri Chunri Sexy. It's quite funny. Hopefully with a more powerful and engrossing script, Kaushik will have better luck next time.

This is a thriller, cat & mouse game movie. I liked the movie because it is interesting at least to watch for the first time. Some nice twists make the movie interesting. There are some loopholes or not so convincing scenes too. But the biggest suspense is the title of the movie - Vaada. Why is the title? Where is "Vaada" in the movie - the title song ?

This secret is revealed at the end with the last and an amazing dialogue.

Some may not like the movie but I enjoyed

A blind husband, a dead wife, and a somewhat psychotic ex-boyfriend, all thrown together in a story that I could not help feeling I have seen somewhere before, something not helped by an early scene clearly ripping off "Love Actually". Putting that aside, this was not a bad thriller; unusually for a Bollywood film, I found myself switching allegiances between the two main actors, even feeling pity for the psychotic. With a better script (or better subtitling, perhaps?), removal of the unnecessary dances, and a tenser courtroom scene, this film could have been very good. For me, the best performance was put in by Zayed Khan, I won't say more for fear of giving too much away. I saw this film on a long plane flight, and it entertained me perfectly well.

Vaada was a Flop in the box office, but it was entertaining. It tells the story of a Blind man Arjun Rampal, who finds his wife (Amisha Patel) dead. The police are investigating what has happened and they lead to a suspect Zayed Khan. What follows is a series of cat and mouse games among the two stars. I don't think Arjun and Zayed are good actor's at all. After watching this movie, I think this and Yakeen is Arjun's Best Film. Zayed Khan shows of a bit too much, but he does perform a good act in this film. He doesn't copy Shah Rukh Khan's style of an obsessive lover as Shahid Kapoor does. Finally the actress Amisha Patel hasn't got a lot of scenes in the film, but she does appear in flashbacks. Her acting is quite good but unnoticed. Thanks to her sexy dance and amazingly body, that i sure would like to dance with. Who cares about her acting as long as she shakes her curves in the dance sequences. There are many fun and entertaining scenes. This is worth the watch and does have a good twist at the end.

At the beginning of the movie, I thought John Abraham should have acted in place of Zayed because it would have been more exciting. I think the chemistry on screen between Arjun and John would have sizzled. As the movie went on, I realized Zayed was a better choice because John rarely excepts defeat. He is cunning enough to avoid getting into trouble with the law. Plus, the story would have dragged on. Other than that, this movie was well done, although it did remind me of Humraaz a bit. Arjun and Zayed rocked the screen portraying two seemingly similar characters. Amisha too had her share of fire. The only thing that annoys me are her innocent look and her hyperventilating crying. In conclusion, I really recommend this movie for its content and portrayal of the characters. All three went really deep to bring the so called imaginary characters to life. Trust me, this movie keeps going and keeps you wondering. P.S. The songs were really nice too.
