The Unsound

Save 2 hours of your life by not watching this movie. I was lured to watch this movie after reading good reviews about it on IMDb and YouTube. The YouTube community does warn that none of the actors in the movie knows acting and it is just one time watch. But I still watched it because they have classified it as a thriller / mystery movie. I do like mystery movies. Trust me. There is no mystery or any sort of suspense or in fact any story in this movie at all. The community was right in that none of the actors except Tinu Anand knew acting. Their expressions don't match the situations at all. I bet I can act better than these guys. However they were wrong in that it is not even one time watch. I can still live with that if the movie has a good story or some sort of thrill or mystery. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I generally don't write bad reviews about any movie. But I am writing this one only to help you guys save yourselves some time.

Th story, screenplay and dialogues of the film compliments each other. The director of the film seems to be inspired by dark suspense thriller of Hollywood. The locations of the film are virgin specially the bunglow where they have stayed. Camera work and sound design are meaningful. Doctor Joena acts well and looks glamorous. Dev Oberoi with his dashing looks acts well. Tinu Anand is evergreen. There is a heart touching song in the movie. Which I am unable to find the mp3 on internet. Production value are very limited. But it doesn't shows on screen. One can dare to watch this non-starrer as I did on Eros now. but it is pleasure to watch the movie. I am going with 8 of 10.

Make no mistake, this movie is highly disjointed, amateur and goofy at times. Can be boring and drags on in the middle as well. However, the original premise, that a bad boy inspite of having multiple relationship/personal issues, is so devastatingly attractive and irresistible to a multitude of women is very valid and nicely portrayed. Shadab Khan plays the role of Dev with much conviction, and looks genuinely threatening and terrifying in most scenes. Sapna Thakur is gorgeous, and in the role of Dr. Joanna shines through, even though her description of the brain disorder with the term "enzymes' instead of "hormones" from the hypothalamus is mildly annoying and takes away from the scientific validity of the film. I found the love making scene between her and Shadab Khan to be highly arousing. The other actors and actresses are OK in their roles, albeit absolutely wooden and expressionless. I will give this movie a 7 out of 10 merely on the basis of the truth involved in portraying a disturbed individual who brings so much misery to many people and families and yet succeeds outstandingly in spreading his genes far and wide.
