Prince

The movie is not as great as I expected it to be. A lot of the "thrills", stunts, etc. seemed forced, irrelevant, and tacky--quite reminiscent of the diamond heist films of the 70s. International dons hiding out in never-ending underground layers, massive lineup of useless bodyguards, a hero with an awkward smirk who always thinks he's acting in slow motion, and random futuristic technology are just some of the trademarks of those films that you will re-encounter.

The second half is better than the first as the plot develops more. Vivek fails to impress. He suits guy-next-door roles such as in Company, Saathiya, and Yuva as oppose to superhero flicks like Kisna and Prince. The débutant actresses were more eye candy than anything else. The computer graphics seemed quite artificial. Despite all its weaknesses, the movie is a half-decent entertainer with slick visuals, foreign locales, nice action sequences, interesting sci-fi technology, great eye candy, and cool cars.

However the best part of the film is undoubtedly the music. Great lyrics combined with power-packed performances by Atif Aslam make the soundtrack addictive--catchy songs with immense depth. Music videos are terrific as well.

The movie's story is actually good. Lots of backstabbing and twist. Some are quite obvious but some are real good. Acting was also acceptable. The thing that takes this ship down is the direction. This usually don't happen but the movie was a flop maily because of poor direction . The scenes were forced and slow. The cars and bikes in the chase sequences were so slow that i felt i drive faster than them on Kolkata roads. I thinks its because in most scenes it felt like the actor himself was riding the motorcycle, which sounds commendable but is not. They cannot do what a professional stuntsman can. Also one bike chase scene was way too long. Might have been fun to watch had the riders been not following the speed limits. The technology shown was quite good in many scenes, new for the time and the audience.

I believe if you run this movie at 1.5x speed, this movie might actually be really good.

the movie is about a person called prince ( vive oberoi ) who has done a biggest heist in life and suddenly he wakes up to find that his memory is lost. such a person is been chased repeatedly by fake Maya ( neeru sing and nandana sen ) . the story takes a turn when real Maya ( aruna shields ) enters the movie. then the movie gets the slow side and the concept is all about a coin that has a memory chip which has been used for prince. now prince will die in 6 days slowly . can he survive and destroy the gangsters behind him. watch out for prince. cast wise performance : vive is suitable for the role. aruna is good as Maya. sanjay kapoor has done a neat role. Issiah is good as a villain.

plus points : action scenes

songs

scenarios minus points : a different depth story that did"t make up to best.

no much robbery scenes except the first

unnecessary roles of Maya"s.

a drag a bit story

no indication of the stolen heist whereabouts

over all prince fails in proper execution of the story and ends in a predictable way with a different approach of climax using CGI"s . a good passable entertainer and can be watched once.

'Prince' caught my attention right from the moment I saw it's first promo, the promos were looking fantastic. The soundtrack was ruling my Ipod, so watching 'Prince' was a must for me! Kookie V. Gulati's 'Prince' is a film that works in bits and pieces. It has a terrific first hour, but the second hour struggles. However, It's amazing music, Camera-work, Action/Stunts and a superb performance by Vivek Oberoi makes this half-hearted fare a decent one-time watch.

Here's something I want to say: Shiraz Ahmed's screenplay is watertight in the first hour. The suspense unfolds beautiful, it's keeps you at the Grip. But as soon the second hr beings, the screenplay becomes a mess. The climax, especially, is the weakest link. It leaves no impact whatsoever! A film that could've been a power-packed entertainer, sadly ends up becoming a strictly one-time watch, as mentioned from the beginning.

Watch 'Prince' for the pluses it has. But be ready to come out half-hearted!

The movie is great, really awesome, fantastic story suspense in every step, if people aren't satisfied with this story then they can't find anything better. If this would be a Hollywood movie then people would love it. The problem is that the typical Indian audience just want family drama stuff and they can't welcome such new concepts. Overall the movie is great, a must watch movie, great action, suspense. Vivek Rocks ...... I'm waiting for it's sequels too..... The movie is actually ignored because most of the viewers don't like Vivek, to be very honest.... A great story you will find in it and stunts too than those useless super hits like Chennai Express, Ek Tha Tiger.... etc...
