One 2 Ka 4

One two ka four is quite simply the most atrocious,hacknyed,and forgettable film i have ever seen.First of all,not only does this film heavily "borrow" from other western films,it displays absolutely no originality.This film was sheepishly contstructed,and obviously very little time and effort was put into this project.Anyone can easily find errors in continuity and realism. One need look no further than the opening action scene as an example,where a criminal who is dead,is shown in one shot to have his hands on his chest,and in another angle shot, rest his hands on the ground! This just scratches the surface of all the improbabilities of this film.The script is a hash of cliches and fails miserabley to develop any of the one-dimensional characters. The villian "KKV" deserves particular recognition for poor acting,as he is far too cartoonish and unbelievable. The music just seems odd and always out of place. Overall,even by Indian standards,One two ka four is a very poorly made film. For anyone who has seen the film,this thought should be amusing for you: what would happen if a film like one two ka four was made in Hollywood?

Shahrukh Khan is a muslim, dont know why he didnt played Javed Bhai and Hindu actor Jackie Shroff played muslim role. Anyways, Shahrukh in whole movies keeps saying only one word- Javed Bhai, Javed bhai, i mean got it we have who this character respect, but why in every scene he has say it 5-6 times.

Javed Bhai has been portrayed as a very nice, gentlemen, who is a good job, treats everybody well and has lots of hindu friends and he also has Hindu kids at home. After all, Bollywood!

Yes, Javed Bhai has adopted Hindu kids, truly amazing imaginary scene by director, only to keep a good image. Amazed!

Pretty much every movie critic has ripped this film apart and called it "highly avoidable." I, on the other hand refute all of them. Why? The answer is simple. I paid $8 to watch this movie, and never during the 3 hour span of the film was I ever bored. It entertained me for every second of those 3 hours that I watched it. It should be obvious that this is not meant to be some serious, thought-provoking classic. It is meant solely to entertain. And as part of Indian cinema, extensive hybridization of a film is absolutely necessary to entertain an undifferentiated audience, which this film has the capability of doing. It has action when needed (although the scenes are flicked right out of John Woo's "Face Off"), it has some great comedy through a fabulous performance by Juhi Chawla, and some wonderful music and a kickass background score by A.R. Rahman. Shahrukh and Jackie are very competent in their roles. The movie is pure escapism and to provide that, the director Shashilal Nair does a decent job. It is extremely surprising why this film flopped and why critics took the film so seriously and denounced it completely. I mean come on, cut the entertainers some slack and enjoy the movie. Not every movie you critics watch absolutely HAS to be a work of art. Just take it in as what it is. Free your mind a little.

One 2 Ka Four is not that bad. But it's a disappointment from a director of Shashilal Nair's caliber. The only highlight of this film was the pairing of SRK and Juhi Chawla. Shahrukh Khan seemed lost in a somewhat unconventional script that demanded a lot of histrionics and yelling and screaming. Juhi Chawla was believable as the bubbly, fun loving girl-next- door but fails to leave a mark as an intelligent undercover cop. This is one of her many films where she gets to display her comic skills and she does it surprisingly well. The story of One 2 Ka Four resembles the story of One Good Cop. And this is quite sad that an intelligent filmmaker like Nair would resort to ripping out a B grade Hollywood thriller. Jackie Shroff in a small role looks jaded and is quickly forgotten after the intermission. Nirmal Pandey cannot act, that is quite apparent. Raj Zutsi looks bland. Overall, it's a below average flick!

Shashilal Nair's 'One 2 Ka 4' was a very enjoyable movie for me. It is an action-packed comedy-drama, and somehow reminded me of the 1993 movie 'Hum Hai Rahi Pyaar Ke'. Here too Juhi Chawla is the governess of children who are under the hero's custody though they are not his children. The movie was mainly watchable because of the leading stars, Shahrukh Khan and Juhi Chawla. They really rock together as was evidenced in previous projects like 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman', 'Darr' and 'Yes Boss'. They are very comfortable working together and it is very obvious. Shahrukh Khan is fantastic here. He is a great action star, though he is better known for his romantic roles. Here he is completely restrained and serious as the tough policeman, a role we don't see him playing that often. But the one who completely blew me away is Juhi. A gifted comedienne, she is absolutely charming and hilarious in a comic role which seems to be tailor-made for her. This is one of her most entertaining performances. The kids are quite good. Jackie Shroff is there for something like half-an-hour and he's okay. Towards the end the story gets a bit confusing and it is very easy to lose interest in the film mainly due to its lack of focus. However, there are some things to be said in its favour: unlike most Hindi films we use to watch and like, this one is neither melodramatic nor overly emotional. The narrative style, which is surprisingly a bit dark and dim, is very effective and special, and A.R. Rahman's music is nice as well. 'One 2 Ka 4' is not a great film, but it is a good entertainer and you definitely can watch it for the rather interesting story and particularly for the actors.
