Vaada

I thought that Vaada was a very different movie with a lot of twists, turns, and interesting plots.

The basic plot of the story is that Amisha Patel is found dead, and Arjun Rampal, Amisha's blind husband, and his best friend Zayed Khan who also happens to be Amisha's obsessive ex-boyfriend, are trying to figure out who killed her.

Arjun Rampal did very well in his role, and he plays his part nicely as the helpless-looking husband who actually has other shades to him.

Zayed Khan was great in his role as the psychotic ex-boyfriend. I think this movie proved that he can do more that just play the "fun loving cool dude". He overacted in some spots, but it didn't go overboard.

Amisha Patel wasn't in the film very much because she's found dead in the very beginning, but for what she does do, I thought she wasn't that great.

The songs are good. I particularly enjoyed "Mein Ishq Uska" and "Maula".

watch it!!

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

Surprisingly good, thats what i'll say, this is a thriller and never loses it's track which is very un-bollywoodish.... the 2 actors - rampal and zayed have performed well, zayed has overacted somewhere..in all, the performance from the lead 2 actors is good. but the actress- amisha, does not live up to the standards set by them. the story starts with amisha found hanging to the death, there are 2 persons in that house - husband rampal, who is blind and zayed... then some interesting twists are involved and the nice thing is that we watch only one story, not many stories merged together, and that is the precise reason, i liked this movie. 7/10

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.
