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...

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.

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 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...

Gulati's 'Prince' is pretty much another one of those horrible presents that are covered in beautiful giftwrap. It starts off with the title character stealing a coin (yes, of all things he steals a coin which is, as you'll see later, worth millions or whatever). Anyway, then he finds himself awake in his condo with no recollection of anything. Yup, he don't even remember his own name. A servant feeds his memory but that ain't enough. He goes to a nightclub and sees a hot slut performing an item number. She claims to be his girlfriend Maya. The morning after, he receives a phonecall from a seductress (Nandana Sen with overdone makeup), who also claims to be his girlfriend Maya. After some doubts and encounters, Prince is sure that seductress number two is the real Maya until it turns out that she's a 'chamchi' of a pathetic crackwhore kingpin and the truth is revealed that kingpin and chamchi orchestrated this in order to obtain the coin from Prince. Prince is then rescued by seductress number 3 (played by a newcomer whose name I don't know but she looks hot and cannot act). Now this number 3 also claims to be Maya. Who is the real Maya? Why does everyone want the coin? What's happened to Prince's memory.

My proper answer would be: Who cares? But if you still want to waste precious time then just watch this horrendous movie which has very good special effects. The slow motions are quite retarded (as they almost always look in Bollywood movies). If the intention was to make a slick action movie why use slow motion at all? I really think Bollywood movies should avoid using slow motion. The camera-work is impressive and the songs are forgettable (some are downright horrible).

Vivek Oberoi is adequate. His performance mainly suffers from bad writing. I can only imagine he did this film because he badly needed a hit and hopefully he got that so that now he can focus on doing meaningful cinema. The rest of the actors are downright bad. Nandana Sen is unintentionally funny.

'Prince' is all gloss and no substance. Enough said.
