Ankahee

It has to be Vikram Bhatt's best film, Aftab's & Esha's acting was excellent. I felt really sorry for Esha although she was dangerous & obsessive especially when she was crying in the hospital. The story is about Aftab who is a doctor and is happy with his married life with Amista Patel but unfortunately an actress & miss world came into his hospital after a failed suicide attempt. Aftab was taking care of her and told the media "It was just an accident". Eventually they both fell in love with each other and that's where they all start to have major problems. The film contains every emotion, its low budget and music is very heartfelt.

Story- weak/ poor/ typical Screenplay- weaker/usual Performance- poor/pioneer/fake Music- Amazing Music wasted in such a movie Dialogue- usual/poor/typical dramatic Direction- weaker/ half left/ unexplained/ Oblogatively made complected.

Descriptions- Direction could be a bit smarter, Things are forcefully made complecated which could have been handled smoothly at certain places in story. Nothing new in story, some overacting ruins the charm, Voice over dubbing of main lead is the worst part of the movie giving a bad impression right from the start. ONLY STABLE PERFORMANCE SEEN BY ESHA DEOL THAT TOO FOR THE OTHERS WHO HAVE RUINED THEIR PARTS.

Truly deep! Some scenes I've haven't even heard top psychologists explain as well. They showed the good and bad side of the main character. Real symptoms like hearing voices, paranoia, loneliness; with realistic consequences. I'm sure it relates to famous true stories. At the end it's about the child that suffered the most that didn't deserve it. Shows the weakness of a human. Not sure if I'd ever be strong enough to forgive like this. The 90s/20s era actually had it all, the cast, songs, stories; explains the automatic judgmental reviews, just because it's raw and not polished, they would rather rate comic book sequels higher. Highly underrated movie, with a good message, "Aa pass aa" song gave me great memories. Salute to the makers! These everyday movies made a big impact in our lives. Thank you!

Yes, the title stands true. I watched this movie with friends. One of them watched till half-time, and went back to catch up on sleep. The rest of us stayed on. It was painfully slow from around 15%th to the 50%th point. Long dialogue sequences. Overacting. And the most annoying thing -- Aftab's inability to converse (especially arguments) without moving this hands in air as in sword-fighting. If he had a sword in his hands, he'd have cut both Ameesha Patel and Esha into million pieces each.

The second half was a respite. Story picked up pace. But now it went into the well-beaten track of Bollywood (won't reveal that in the review, but it's obvious from film's theme). Very much predictable.

Positives: 1. Ameesha Patel looked nice. 2. The movie starts off with an old-age Aftab lying in bed. The portrayal is funny. All us friends went into a laughter spree.

Negatives: 1. Oft-repeated theme. Too predictable. 2. Aftab's lack of dialogue-delivery abilities. 3. Esha looked horrible in most parts of the movie.

This movie is not at all convincing.. How can a reputed surgeon - who is a loving husband and a doting father - can fall in love with a patient with manic depression? He should have treated her as his patient and tried to help her out of her psychological disorder. Even his fellow psychiatrist friend warns him about her.. In spite of all this he falls in love with her and divorces his loving wife and leaves her and his daughter whom he loves very much... Very much unconvincing... Acting wise Aftab Shivadasani is as unconvincing as his role..Ameesha Patel is OK.. There is not much scope for her in this movie. Only Esha Deol is the saving grace. She has portrayed her role as a manic depressed beauty queen very convincingly.. Hrishita Bhatt is wasted in a miniscule role..
