Prince

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.

Wasted a Saturday and 150 bucks on this. The only thing that sticks out of this movie are the action sequences. There is no story to begin with and with times it is clearly evident that the actions are as well mindless and in most places unneeded.

There are a million plot holes but no need to pick those as after about 20 minutes in the film you will understand that the producers have only paid for the action sequences, the cast and the crews and no money has been given to the scriptwriter.

If you really want to know the one paragraph plot then here it is -- Vivek Oberoi plays Prince, a supposedly high-profile thief, who has lost his memory. Everyone is after his life and in the process he knows that they are after a coin.

Overall cinematography is good, but the acting is comical in a serious film. With such laughable and wooden acting it is hard for Vivek to even get a decent solo hit and rest of the star cast are there like stereotypes. Bad villains, Bond type female right-hand, useless Police...and the list goes on.

So, spare the money, forget about this royal mess.

3/10 - only for the needless actions and cinematography.

Prince satiates the Indian audiences' need for an action science-fiction thriller with spectacular stunts and technology. It is about a suave and stylish thief aptly named Prince. He wakes up one day with a blank mind at his beachside house. Then starts the adventure of Prince towards discovering who he is and why people are behind him.

Coming to the structure of the film, it has more than enough substance in the form of action sequences as well as songs. Twists are placed suitably and you get to feel enthralled when watching the story on screen. One thing should be said - the film might feel incomplete at some places - but that does not outright disturb the viewing experience. You will never get bored while watching this film.

Performance of every actor is splendid. Vivek Oberoi lives in the character of Prince and he has showcased all emotions ranging from vulnerability to confidence very well throughout the film. It is a treat to watch him execute his plans. The 3 heroines have done their job nicely. Sanjay Kapoor, Isaiah, Dalip Tahil have portrayed their characters very well and deserve special mention. The movie has high standards of believable unbelievability and handles such things well.

The film boasts of a sound technical team. Vishnu Rao's cinematography has captured the mood of the film very efficiently - there are beautiful shots during action sequences, and the tropical colour tones used in outdoor shooting is pleasing to the eye. Visual effects are splendid as per 2010 standards. This film has the potential to capture the attention of the youth and teenagers because of its catchy songs. Each song is a gem and it must be said that such a strong soundtrack with a perfect entertainer is a rare combination. Background music of the film coupled with the sound design compose one of the best audio outputs that have never been heard before. Editing is apt and the complex action shots have been handled well. Length of the film is completely justified.

The only negatives we can see are that a few characters are not given ample extension i.e. they could have been given more scenes. Serena and PK are two such characters. Also, the film carries a sort-of dated look that might not go down well with some people.

It is sad that we had not been able to appreciate this film at the time of its release. Such entertainers are very rare in Hindi cinema. Do not miss it on TV as it needs just a receptive mind to feel the movie. And who knows, you may become a fan of Prince as well as Vivek Oberoi. Highly recommended (even for repeat watching).

There is a lot in Prince that could have worked much better. The plot of course is pure science fiction. And this isn't a bad thing. Actually it had the potential to make Prince into a well made thriller. Only somehow the writers couldn't get past the clichés you have seen over and over again in other similar movies. I have no problems with style over substance. But this movie has too much of the wrong style with no substance at all. Too much flash can ruin scenes and Prince is a good example of how not to do it. The biggest problem however I had were the badly executed action scenes. When a plot doesn't hold up there has to be something else to elevate a production. Whether it is comedy or action. (I am not mentioning drama and it should be obvious why). Since every actor took this movie way too serious there was no chance of genuine laughs whatsoever). So we are left with action. Oh my god the action. And I don't mind ridiculous stunts like the one with the motorcycle on the walking bridge. As long as it looks good. Say what you want about the stunts in James Bond movies. They were always over the top but still impressed the viewer since it looked believable. And this is not the case in any action scene of Prince. Most of it looked fake. So what is left there too enjoy. Well,there were these beautiful women. But they only can hold your interest for so long.

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...
