Vaada

Surprisingly good, thats what i'll say, this is a thriller and never loses it's track which is very un-bollywoodish.... the 2 actors - rampal and zayed have performed well, zayed has overacted somewhere..in all, the performance from the lead 2 actors is good. but the actress- amisha, does not live up to the standards set by them. the story starts with amisha found hanging to the death, there are 2 persons in that house - husband rampal, who is blind and zayed... then some interesting twists are involved and the nice thing is that we watch only one story, not many stories merged together, and that is the precise reason, i liked this movie. 7/10

I thought that Vaada was a very different movie with a lot of twists, turns, and interesting plots.

The basic plot of the story is that Amisha Patel is found dead, and Arjun Rampal, Amisha's blind husband, and his best friend Zayed Khan who also happens to be Amisha's obsessive ex-boyfriend, are trying to figure out who killed her.

Arjun Rampal did very well in his role, and he plays his part nicely as the helpless-looking husband who actually has other shades to him.

Zayed Khan was great in his role as the psychotic ex-boyfriend. I think this movie proved that he can do more that just play the "fun loving cool dude". He overacted in some spots, but it didn't go overboard.

Amisha Patel wasn't in the film very much because she's found dead in the very beginning, but for what she does do, I thought she wasn't that great.

The songs are good. I particularly enjoyed "Mein Ishq Uska" and "Maula".

watch it!!

I have to say that Satish Kaushik's first attempt at a thriller wasn't that hot. The story was kind of interesting, but somehow the screenplay just does not manage to engross the audience as a thriller really ought to. Many of the events are predictable (although not all are). Those that are not do not seem to make sense, especially the true reason for Amisha's death, which I won't reveal. Arjun gave a good performance, and Zayed also did very well. He seems to be improving very quickly. Amisha was OK. Songs were OK. I liked Teri Chunri Sexy. It's quite funny. Hopefully with a more powerful and engrossing script, Kaushik will have better luck next time.

Teri kurti sexy lagti hai," sings Arjun Rampal to his screen-wife Amisha Patel before he goes blind...and the film goes bust.

Wish we could see anything remotely sexy in this sterile thriller about a blind man, his beautiful wife and his closet-psychotic friend, played by Arjun, Amisha and Zayed Khan with all the correct pauses in-between fits of passion.

But alas, nothing finally fits in "Vaada". It's like an over-elaborate jigsaw puzzle. Someone evidently read the instruction booklet on whodunits too carefully. So much attention is given to the fine print that the overall framework appears to miss the bus...and the buzz.

Dead at the centre, cruelly unproductive at heart, "Vaada" is one of those could've-beens that don't take long to become has-beens. The cruellest blow to the audiences' expectations (no matter how low) is that the thriller, as written by Rumi Jaffrey, has the potential to grip.

The narrative just lets it droop...and drip until the basic story tapers into a blow-dried dead-end. Very often in the course of this stiff-and-over-conditioned film you ask yourself if director Satish Kaushik was briefed to make a play on film.

If so, the narrative ought to have been free of those frisky flights of fancy into foreign shores for Himesh Reshammiya's can't-get-over-you song sequences.

Styled like the Michael Caine-Dyan Canon-Christopher Reeve thriller "Deathtrap", "Vaada" tries to create an aura of upper class languor.

This is a thriller, cat & mouse game movie. I liked the movie because it is interesting at least to watch for the first time. Some nice twists make the movie interesting. There are some loopholes or not so convincing scenes too. But the biggest suspense is the title of the movie - Vaada. Why is the title? Where is "Vaada" in the movie - the title song ?

This secret is revealed at the end with the last and an amazing dialogue.

Some may not like the movie but I enjoyed
