Contract

It's not great but decent movie to watch. I liked it. No big stars so not so good reviews and also no promotion done.

RGV's latest movie "Contract" tries to throw all its flaws straight on your face. It is just so easy to pick so many of them in movie.

First of all poor star cast; absolutely! None of them had a hold on their characters. So much so, many of the characters make you feel they were not required at all - like the gangster's wife - damn what was she trying to portray? the martial arts specialist's role was crap. I even feel the commissioner's role was enacted without even a basic level of stature.

Shabby dialogues and one-liners; Most of actors tried too much to show thinking(staring?)faces(Sarkar Style) and say one liners as if they are trying to remember their dialogues! The lead character and his love interest need professional training in acting. Even some of the dialogues are so short and stupid even kids will find them laughable such as..."It's a secret!?" Now, I truly believe... one liners or punch dialogues can be pulled off only by seasoned actors.

Poor background music and soundtrack; They were the hallmarks of cult movies like Satya and Company - but for contract it is big thumbs down.

The Plot; The start of the movie itself rushes the concept to the viewer so fast that you immediately know how the story is going to end like... and that's it... you loose interest and wait to watch who is worst actor among the cast.

Sadly, RGV's magic shows have run out of tricks. Gone are the glory days. I still hope RGV will comeback with a masterpiece like Satya.

Movie is about a covert operation to kill sultan who happens to be one of the terrorist group leaders. ( We don't talk about the message of the movie as RGV says that he is not interested in any messages through films )

Not much research went into knowing how a covert operation is done ? Secret. Director should have referred to "Drohkaal". Director concentrated on clearly presenting how the hero is placed in villains gang.

It looked pale when the hero keeps informing to police officer on phone all the time. Is thats how mafia deals with the people inside the group??? Secret.

Background music was scary. Varma " have u seen the movie in mute?? "??? Secret. What i liked most in the movie is acting. Every did their best. Goonga's wife,RD and RD's sister are the top performers in this movie. That saves the grace of the movie and can be watched for it.

Actors are bad. Story is weak. Dialogues are dull and boring. Not very convincing plot. Gang war, don, hero losing wife and kid in a blast, infiltrator, love affair etc. You get the gist pretty quickly. The loud mouth guy who owns a posh yacht is a totally misplaced character.He keeps making noise about being the king of Mumbai. Keeps sending some dud assassins to kill his rivals and always fails. How can such a guy be worth anything? And then the hero comes and kills him like killing a fly. No conflict, no fight, nothing! A very pathetic subplot. The usual ugly, bearded, scary looking terrorists are shown as dumb as a doorknob. Ram Gopal Verma should stop making movies and find something else to do. Extremely weak and predictable plot. In order to show the hero to be tha master, they shown the rest of crew to be so stupid that the whole story becomes laughable. There is one encounter man. Without establishing him as anyone worthy, they have shown him running around naked, being chased by the hero, then grabbing a saree from a mannequin and trying to put it on. All very poorly done. Stay away from this movie.

Ram Gopal Verma returning with his third underworld film, after "Satya" & "Company" was indeed a great news which raised the expectations level again from the master film-maker after his recent "Sarkar Raj".

But all the expected standards were shattered and nothing new and impressive was there in his Trilogy movie "Contract" featuring all newcomers. 10 minutes into the movie and you know that RGV again has come up with a product not matching his own standards set in the past.

The plot was partly similar to "Departed" and was also quite predictable for an underworld movie. Putting a spy in the Terrorists Gang and then tracking their plans is what we have already seen numerous times in Bollywood movies.

The criminal characters and their presentation, resembled RGVs own "Company" to a huge extent. Like the female accompanist in the gang was exactly the same as Manisha Koirala with Ajay Devgan. The debutant Prasad has just played the role with no conviction. Zakhir Hussain was loud in his scenes.

RGV has got a great creative film-maker in himself, but in recent times he seems to be lost his way. Especially in the music department, as music of almost all his recent films have gone unnoticed. As I see it, new unexploited plots are the key point to have him back in form. Underworld movies should be given a break and may be a musical comedy like "Rangeela" can give us back our good old Ram Gopal Verma.

Still Waiting for RGV to get back in form again! Sadly it was not this time.
