Roy

Trailer and promo were reflecting that there is some mystery and thrill but after fifteen minutes of film you get the sense that there is nothing, you are victim of a boring stuff in the name of creativity. This is complex representation of a simple and many time seen concept. There is a dialogue in film that says that there is a type of film, which is only made for the sake of makers, without caring of audience, this line is appropriate for this film itself. Complete film is full of parallel cuts without any story line and emotions. It must have sounded fancy just at the idea level. Good actor Ranbir Kapoor gone waste. He had nothing to do. Sometimes I couldn't understand that what push them to do such type of film. Arjun Rampal is OK. Hindi does not suit a bit to Jacqueline Fernandez but she had make to speak difficult words even when it was not required for her character. It irritates more than her performance less acting.

The movie was such a drag. The songs jump right in the middle of a story which is struggling to continue for 3 hours.

I watched Arjun Rampal swimming shirtless more times than i wanted to. I watched the characters change costumes three times in less than ten minutes. I watched the characters roam about without any particular goals.

The character Roy is portrayed as a mastermind thief. Yet i saw nothing of his skills that made him to his title.

This movie concentrates on the looks of the Arjun Rampal, Jacqueline Fernandez who speaks Hindi with an accent but can sing chittiyaan kalaiyaan in Punjabi fluently and change her clothes hundred times and that useless crap of a thief(The world famous thief).

You must watch this movie and suffer like i did.

I had many expectations from this film, 'Roy'. But it proved to be an extremely senseless, illogical, third class, and a boring film.

There is lack of comedy, suspense, thrill and a proper script & story which was expected to take a good grip. The entire film is filled with useless and non-sense dialogues. All audience in the hall were wondering like when something will 'happen' in this movie. The part before interval contained only dialogues n dialogues....though some of the songs were nice.

You better avoid this film at any costs. If you want to watch this movie, watch it only and only if you can't get good sleep at home, or your air conditioner is damaged! You may give it a try if you want but at your own risk!

This is my first review. I had to write it because this is the movie I stepped out of in an hour even when I had no other plans. It's awful.

• Fake accents dripping into Hindi as well - Arjun Rampal could have been replaced with a cactus with zero change in the quality of cast (really) - Again, atrociously incorrect fake accents - Dialogues so cheesy and dumb that you will get tired rolling your eyes.

• Arjun Rampal's character was trying to be as witty as Dr. House failing miserably.

• I can't say how bad the story was because, like I said, I left the cinema after an hour of sheer torture.

Take your money and meticulously tear it into 100 small pieces. You'll get more mental stimulation from that than watching this movie.

The cast and the music had a magnetic effect on me. But once the film reel began rolling, I was experiencing symptoms of depression and schizophrenia.

Roy starts and ends on one single note: blankness. While I am still trying to figure out what the writer intended by conveying such a senseless story, I have not yet recovered from the trauma I had after sitting through two and a half hours of nothingness. Vikramjit Singh's characters are pretentiously polished: Arjun Rampal as an arrogant writer and director who uses a typewriter, Jacqueline Fernandez as a book-loving, reserved filmmaker, and Ranbir Kapoor as a (mute) thief who drives around in a convertible, you know, for the effect. Yes, Kapoor has a total of fifteen dialogs (including "Ooh," "Aah," and "Aao") in the film. (Also, if you observe, the beginning credits introduces Kapoor to be in a "dynamic role." What does the director mean by this? If ever I meet the amateur Vikramjit Singh in a coffee house, I'll make sure that I ask him this question and write a piece about it verbatim.)

The thief in the film introduces himself as a thief so that we don't misconstrue the makers as thieves for robbing us off through the ticket costs. This happens in less than twenty minutes into it, and I did not need any more proof to consider how bad the film was gonna be. Even if I forgo the snail-paced narration, I cannot forgive Singh for botching up the screenplay. It has the worst screenplay I have seen all this year, and it is a good thing from a Bollywood point of view. The story constructed is so choppy, I bet you will turn to your therapist after watching it.

Bad cinematography and good photography mix together and bring out blues in the exotic locales the film has been shot in. The dialogs are plain bad, and so is the cast performance. Only Rampal comes out as an average player.

If you want me to tell it, then, yes, the music and songs are good. Period. But the score is repetitive, often sampling many of the songs' melodies. I bet most of us have seen the best parts of the movie in the trailer, and if you were to divide Roy, as a film, into two parts: one as the trailer, and one as the film intrinsically, you would have two polarizing videos.

BOTTOM LINE: There is not an iota of thrill in the storyline, nor is the story fathomable. Roy only looks good in the trailer, and for a moment there, I even thought the whole film was a tediously long advertisement for Godrej lockers and CCTV cameras. Regretlessly Avoidable!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
