Avis à la une
Even 60s movies were better than this. A random song to promote it, some obviously unnecessary fillers to add flare but it sucks so bad even flares cant comprehend this movie. Uhhhh.
No way is it near the levels of the Indiana Jones trilogy. 'Naksha' does take its source from numerous Hollywood films, including 'Indiana Jones'. That doesn't really work in favour of the film. Yes, there are a few good moments (stress on the word few). I think this movie had potential to be great (given the concept) and since adventurous films are scarce in Bollywood, 'Naksha' is sort of fresh. Now if only, the director had actually done a better job. The film moves at an uneven pace Technically the film is quite poor. Since it takes place in the jungle, a lot could have been done with the forest atmosphere and mystery to make the jungle more involved but its hardly put to use at all. The cinematography could have been a lot better. The split-screen was annoying and irrelevant and don't even get me started on the slow motion especially in the action scenes (which I fast forwarded). The action scenes were over the top and too long (which is expected in a film starring Sunny Deol). The special effects are of poor quality. Some of the songs are likable and of foot-tapping quality. I liked the chemistry between Deol and Oberoi. Vivek Oberoi does well for the most parts. However, in his introductory scene, Vivek comes across as whiny and Sunny is over the top in most scenes (as usual). Sameera Reddy tries to pull off a Preity Zinta and adds some glamour. She doesn't have much to do but she does beat up an item girl. Jackie Shroff is irritating. 'Naksha' is a wasted effort. It could have been great if the screenplay were tighter (and a whole lot modified). Editing would have helped. The writing could use a lot of improvement. For example, either leave out Sameera Reddy's character or develop the character and make her somewhat relevant. Involve the jungle. Tone down the fight sequences. Come up with something original.
I think I should phone the director and ask him to re-release this movie and advertise it heavily as the funniest comedy of the year. I actually believe that it might catch more attention and gain revenue.
It started downhill and kept going down from there until the last scene where I wanted to see some nice CGI, when Jackie wears the armor. But Sunny Deol - ah, and Vivek Oberoi, so gay that he would make my gay friend ashamed of his sexuality.
And last, and pretty much the least, the director must commit suicide by hammering pins in his own brain. J/k.

This film had 4 decent things, they were: voiceover by Anil Kapoor, the animation segment of the Mahabharata, the mythology surrounding the Mahabharata and Karna, and the aerial shots of the landscape (not belonging to India). Rest everything was poor. They ripped off the story elements and whole scenes from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and The Rundown. The jokes were school-level bad and not at all funny, they were goofy really with unnecessary and out of place nods to Sunny Deol's father and his religion. The casting was poor, especially of the side characters. Songs were bad and really downgraded the little fun I was having while watching the movie. The score was too overbearing and the same couple of themes played throughout the whole movie.
The aerial shots were overutilized to death. After the end of each scene they were used and the same shots again and again. Editing was noob level with slow-motion done to death in fight scenes and off-putting cuts to the landscape shots in the middle of conversations. The tone of the movie jumped after every few scenes from emotional to funny to serious. Ten minutes after the death of Vivek Oberoi's father and his funeral I was watching a titillating dance number. The action was bad with bad guys flying after each punch and kick. Sunny Deol was literally a superhero, he was firing shotguns standing in front of the enemies, completely exposed, without getting shot at at least once. There were so many plot holes and logical inconsistencies in the story. Every hint was served to them, every puzzle was too easy to solve.

I had no intention of writing a review on this film but after reading the reviews written by others i was forced to do so. One of them said that the movie deals with trash mythology.Let me bring to the notice that the film has shown some amazing things about the Indian Heritage so you can take a hike. The movie is quite average and enjoyable.Few things in it is not acceptable like the scenes of Sunny Deol and Vivek Oberoi which was just copied from Welcome to the Jungle and also the action sequences like the jeep stunt, the shotgun sequence, and the fight with the dwarfs. It was just Cut and Paste. The story though was the same, but the actors had done quite well.Sameera Reddy was unnecessary. Jackie Shroff did a fairly good job and was acceptable. Hence, in all it was a film with too many songs, but enjoyable at the same time... Only a one time watch...
