Nasha

The movie is all about a boy falling in love with his teacher.The movie has bold scenes and some a rated jokes.The story takes place during the summer camp when the drama teacher(Poonam Pandey) comes to his school. One of her student(shivam patil) fall in love with the teacher.A teacher which he cannot have but has a desire for her.The story is weak .their is nothing in the movie worth watching for. There are lot of unnecessary bold scenes in the movie.Acting of the stars is very poor. they don't live up to the characters in the movie.The movie is not worth watching.This kind of a film was never excepted from the director of JISM part 1. So watch the movie at your own risk/

Some good moments are there. Surprised to see Poonam pandey can act.

Plz don't rate this movie without watching it. You might underrate it. The poster gives a wrong impression. It's not a B-grade or C-grade film. It's an A-rated A-grade film. 'A' not as in 'Adult', 'A' as in Adolescent. The script could have been better and the plot could have been more convincing. Poonam Pandey as Anita Joseph, Shivam Patil as Saahil, Sheetal Singh as Tia and Vishal Bhonsle as Samuel gives a fair performance. All of them have executed their respective parts well enough. But there should have been thought put into the writing and propaganda. Promotion could have been less provocative. I'd have rated it 7/10 but since the net rating is too low, I'm rating it 8/10.

I was expecting a really bad movie but got surprised. The theme is a bit of cliche. Acting is nearly mediocre.

The most surprising thing about this was Poonam Pandey's acting. She did a decent job except for some cheesy scenes. With proper mentoring her acting skills could've been improved.

I can't say I regret watching this movie.

Nasha, directed by Amit Saxena (of Jism fame), stars Shivam Patil and Poonam Pandey, both of whom make their Bollywood debuts with this bold venture. The film was marketed as an erotic thriller, probably because of the reputations shared by both the director and Poonam Pandey. The irony is, this film actually had minimal erotic elements, and did not even try to be a thriller.

It's when you go in with an open mind, you realize that Nasha is the coming of age story of an 18 year old boy, Sahil (Shivam Patil), who along with his teen friends, is a high school student from Panchgani (a small city in India). Before his final examinations, Sahil becomes deeply infatuated with the new drama teacher in his school, Anita (Poonam Pandey). This infatuation soon turns into an obsession, uprooting his life and catapulting him through a lot of emotional turmoil, as he stops relating to his family, friends, and even himself. But, as is the case with unfulfilled obsessions, Sahil eventually learns his first lesson in maturity: he comes of age.

The Good:

What really makes this film come alive is the character journey of the innocent and emotionally vulnerable boy. Shivam Patil deserves the major critical acclaim he has received, for his debut performance as 'Sahil'. Sahil's girlfriend, Tia, is played by Sheetal Singh who makes an admirable attempt to make her role believable. The rest of Sahil's friends are confident and convincing, and their chemistry with each other really keeps the film breathing throughout. Wherever the simple plot of Nasha falls short, Sahil & gang come to it's rescue with solid, entertaining performances. Sahil brings forth innocence and internal conflict, whereas his friends bring in light-hearted humour, quirkiness and good entertainment. Cinematography is quite outstanding in certain sequences, and the credit to making Panchgani come alive goes to the DOP James Fowlds. The music is pleasant, with the title track 'Tera Nasha' being the best one of the lot.

The Mediocre:

Poonam Pandey gives a flat performance as the supposedly sensuous and charismatic 'Anita'. A better actor could have really made this film complete. The story line, as you can see, is not really one deserving of a standing ovation, either. It belongs to well explored territory in world cinema. The background score is a little too heavy in the first half, but makes a noticeable improvement in the second.

Conclusion: Amit Saxena makes an earnest attempt at showing the ups and downs of an infatuated teenager. But all the freshness and entertainment brought forth by the young cast, is compensated by a struggling Poonam Pandey. It's worth a watch for the pool of teen talent, but Nasha could have been a lot more with a stronger story and a competent female lead actor. It's definitely a one time watch, simply because it's better than the usual crap Bollywood churns out on a regular basis!
