Woodstock Villa

With this one "Bollywood" has once again proved it keeps on wasting lacs of money to introduce youngsters who can't act, can't dance, don't even look good and most unluckily aren't backed up by good storyline. I went to the theater with lot of expectations from Sikandar(Unfortunately I never saw him in the newspaper, magazines) who is related from the family of great names like Anupam Kher and Kirron Kher. In the end I could only say if you don't have a good face for Hindi movies you must know how to act and how to dance (Unfortunately, my dear, Sikandar, you know nothing of them!!). The whole story is based on a kidnap/murder, which is rather comical than being a thriller. The music scores are pathetic and I must add the songs are not required in the movie at all. And specifically I just don't want to discuss about the storyline because there wasn't any real story behind, it's all real CRAP!

Only one word - it was a disappointment. I read some reviews about the movie and someone compared it to johnny gaddar so I was really looking forward to this one. The movie is unexpectedly short. Direction, screenplay is good and so is Sikandar Kher and Neha Uberoi. Its a stylish flick from white feathers but Sikandar deserved a better debut.

I think the movie started really well, picked up good pace but loses pace in the middle. There are 3 songs that are so unwanted and annoying. Sanjay Dutt cameo song is good but again they could have just kept it in titles and not made a part of the movie. Both Gulshan Grover's and Shakti Kapoor's characters are added to fill the space. All in all, the story line is really short for a movie. I thought this could be the 11th story that Sanjay Gupta could not fit in Dus Kahaniyaan. If this was made as a 10 min story, it would have been really a good short story.

Do you know what is even worst? Even the story that I felt was so short - is not original. Its a copy of 1958 classic Vertigo.

A loose story with twists which though intended to bring out awe and thrill instead just ends up disgusting the audience with a senseless and illogical plot. It all starts with a business man played by Arbaaz Khan getting a call from a kidnapper demanding a ransom of 50 lakhs to free his wife . Later revealed that it was a setup by his wife to test the loyalty of his husband planned with a protagonist played by Kher who she befriends in a bar . Seems to be an ordinary story until the time all those twists are un-curtained which sound way to far fetched and completely put off the audience off to an extent level that you just want to leave the movie midway.

I'd too much expectation from this one, but it turned out to be a real letdown and the most tragic experience. The plot has been frequented and the execution could only have made the difference. Considering that director is Hansal Mehta (dir of "CHHAL" which wasn't outstanding, but nevertheless, was far satisfying than expected), I felt that though the plot isn't fresh, the execution will be effective and make the movie worth watching. But again, I was wrong. It's been handled in the worst way it could have ever been. All the songs were totally unnecessary and were purely intended to extend the duration of the movie, since a movie needs to be more than just an hour. Otherwise, the topic fitted the best for a TV series episode {I remember having watched many TV episodes with same plot, however can remember only one series name for now and that's "SURAAG" (produced by Adhikari Brothers; Sudesh Berry playing the lead role) and "APRADHI KAUN" with Ashutosh Rana playing lead role}.

With the director and script at their worst, most of the actors too tried to match up with them and delivered their worst performance ever (especially Sachin Khedekar). I can't understand why Sikandar (Kher) chose to begin his career with such a disastrous movie script. Anyways, his acting suited his choice, it was also as worst as the movie, if not more!!! There's no point in discussing Neha Uberoi, Arbaaz Khan and others' performances.

If you haven't watched this movie as yet, you're quite lucky and do yourself a favor by not even considering to watch it. Save yourself from a tragic experience by skipping Woodstock Villa, a movie which truly deserves to be in a trash box.

I saw this movie only because it was a White Feather Production whose previous film Dus Kahaneeyain was a good film(considering all ten stories). It's coming up with new ideas which have never been applied in Bollywood, plus 'The Great Indian Butterfly' and 'Pankh' also look very good in the trailers.

But this film was really a disappointment, the new actor Sikander Kher, son of Anupam Kher really dint act well nor did any one else and even the soundtrack is pathetic. The only reason that one can sit through the film is because it's not slow and second that the storyline is not all that bad, mildly predictable but bearable.
