Prince

Okay, I went to the theater and watched this film. And now I am sure i wasted 2 hours of my life, and Rs. 40 of my pocket money. But to the readers who are viewing this review , I recommend to watch this movie. It's such a bad action thriller that it has become a good comedy. 3 Mayas and all the twist ( NOT IN THE PLOT BUT IN THEIR FIGURES :P ). Lots of skin, lots of guns, lots of bad acting, and scenes copied from films like Iron Man. Vivek Oberoi does a good job making look everything comic. Oh, few things more...they also tried to make it a sci-fi one. but i don't know how does a chip made with nanotechnology be visible with our naked eyes, and I also didn't know this fact that to delete something safely from a computers hard drive is to reboot it...whatever, Watch this movie and laugh like you haven't done it in a long time...

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.

'Prince' caught my attention right from the moment I saw it's first promo, the promos were looking fantastic. The soundtrack was ruling my Ipod, so watching 'Prince' was a must for me! Kookie V. Gulati's 'Prince' is a film that works in bits and pieces. It has a terrific first hour, but the second hour struggles. However, It's amazing music, Camera-work, Action/Stunts and a superb performance by Vivek Oberoi makes this half-hearted fare a decent one-time watch.

Here's something I want to say: Shiraz Ahmed's screenplay is watertight in the first hour. The suspense unfolds beautiful, it's keeps you at the Grip. But as soon the second hr beings, the screenplay becomes a mess. The climax, especially, is the weakest link. It leaves no impact whatsoever! A film that could've been a power-packed entertainer, sadly ends up becoming a strictly one-time watch, as mentioned from the beginning.

Watch 'Prince' for the pluses it has. But be ready to come out half-hearted!

The movie is not as great as I expected it to be. A lot of the "thrills", stunts, etc. seemed forced, irrelevant, and tacky--quite reminiscent of the diamond heist films of the 70s. International dons hiding out in never-ending underground layers, massive lineup of useless bodyguards, a hero with an awkward smirk who always thinks he's acting in slow motion, and random futuristic technology are just some of the trademarks of those films that you will re-encounter.

The second half is better than the first as the plot develops more. Vivek fails to impress. He suits guy-next-door roles such as in Company, Saathiya, and Yuva as oppose to superhero flicks like Kisna and Prince. The débutant actresses were more eye candy than anything else. The computer graphics seemed quite artificial. Despite all its weaknesses, the movie is a half-decent entertainer with slick visuals, foreign locales, nice action sequences, interesting sci-fi technology, great eye candy, and cool cars.

However the best part of the film is undoubtedly the music. Great lyrics combined with power-packed performances by Atif Aslam make the soundtrack addictive--catchy songs with immense depth. Music videos are terrific as well.

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.
