Asambhav

What has Rajiv Rai done to himself? Once a hit director of films like Tridev and Vishwatama is now making one bad film after another. I was initially excited at the thought of Rajiv Rai returning to the action genre but that soon fizzled out. As a Rajiv Rai fan I thought I should at least give it a go but I left after an hour. One reason for me leaving the film so early so the amount of Paki- bashing in the film, this was not in Rai's previous venture.

A lot of directors have tried Paki- bashing but I did not expect it from Rajiv Rai Another letdown was the music. Rajiv Rai's have always had good music until now. There is only one good song and that is Tere dekh dekh Ladgayan. The performances are not upto scratch, not even from Rai Loyalist Naseer-Uddin- Shah. Avoidable fare from once my favourite director.

Overall the movie is great. The fight scenes are brilliant! Especially the one straight after Arjun Rampal is captured. Arjun's introduction is wicked..! The only downfall of the movie, is that it includes the India vs Pakistan theme. Which we could do without, now that both countries are starting to come together. Priyanka Chopra is absolutely stunning in the movie. Although the songs just come out of nowhere. The movie would do a lot better if it didn't have this indi-paki theme. As well as having too many characters. It just makes it difficult to fit them in the movie. which is about 2hrs 10mins long. If it were at least 2hrs 45mins - 3hrs. Then maybe every character would be given more time to adjust to the movie. Overall I would rate this movie 7/10.

Watched this film with an audience of....5 in total! Had a choice between Lakshya and Asambhav...(realized then I should have gone for Lakshya). A typical plot...India v Pakistan..but just isn't cricket as you have Kashmir in the middle. An Indian super hero goes on a mission to save the President of India from some Pakistani rebels who are involved in a mass drug smuggling racket. I left the film half way as it was simply boring and the plot was confusing and all over the place. The songs were also awful, the film tries to hide the flaws with its special effects but unfortunately they are outdated too.

Overall...avoid it if you can, has to be the worst film I've seen this year.

A perfect example of how songs can kill a movie. An amazing action thriller. A standout solo hero action movie released wen multistarrer action films were preferred. Superb story, superb location n superb execution of action. But how n why did the director keep 5 idiotic songs in this nail biting action thriller? Asambhav to know.

Well, besides the great views of Ticino and Locarno, Switzerland, the movie has a recurrent theme: Kashmir and Indo-Pakistani War. Besides the fact that Arjun Rampal is doing a good performance, I found pretty hard to understand who had the money, who finally is good and bad, and why there are so many changes in the gangs' composition. I kind of was lost but enjoyed watching it. It's action, action, action and lots of blood. Well, it's not Devdas or Yuva. But the mix between Bollywood and the famous scene in Switzerland is well done.
