Roy

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.

The trailer raised my expectations for the movie. I took it to have a good and an interesting plot. But I was utterly disappointed today after watching the movie. I was terribly bored and was waiting for it to end. There is no suspense or mystery not even a single one. It is very slow and does not even have a good storyline. The storyline, in fact, is too predictable. You can almost predict the ending of the movie. The music and songs are good though. And the thing I found the most beautiful is the style and the locations. The cinematography is good too. I gave it a 3/10 for some of the good things I mentioned above.

Fifty minutes in to the movie I started to ask the question 'What is going on here? Where is the movie I was promised by the trailer?' Nearly all the scenes that were in the trailer have been played out by now. You could stare at Jacqueline or Ranbir or Arjun and you could sing along with the chart buster songs. That's it, that's all you can do in the theater after the first 20 minutes or so. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen more than what the movie has to offer.

Somewhere in the 'intellectual' dialogs and sleek, stylish cinematography lies buried the dreams of an amateur director with a lot of potential. Vikramjit Singh will need a lot more nurturing before he can make a coherent movie. I have nothing to spoil the plot, that is how bad the movie is. I would give this 0 out of 10 just because the promise was not delivered upon.

I have been fortunate enough to know people who have made 15 minute short films with more sense and better vision. None of the actors are at fault although one would not have expected Ranbir Kapoor to be part of such a movie. Maybe even he was fooled by the seemingly engrossing premise like the rest of us.

Why did I watched Roy... mostly because of my trust on Ranbeer Kappor... But then I asked myself what is he doing in such a movie. Then I asked what is anybody doing in this movie... and then I asked what am I doing in the theatare. But in spite of repeated temptations to leave the theatare, I survived till the end, mainly because I hoped something will happen. but that's the trouble. Nothing at all happens in the movie. From start to end, in most of the scenes there is only one character on screen, generally smoking or drinking. the dialogues and monologues(there are a lot of monologues) are not natural. A lot of scenes, if not all, are unnecessary. there are hardly 4-5 characters in the movie (including both real and imaginary characters), out of which 2 are played by Jacklin. First Jacklin is the sri lankan beauty we know ( that came as a relief) other Jacklin is wearing some kind of makeup which is making her look like a vampire. Songs are good... but their placement is so abrupt in the two and a half hour movie , and you are so bored with the movie that you can hardly enjoy them. Locations are good, but monotonous dark and gloomy picturization spoils them too. I can understand that the director did not wanted to make a Bollywood masala movie, but trust me, this movie is not above Masala, This is way below Masala. Conclusion: Don't watch this movie even if you are paid for it.

Roy is a pathetic attempt by the debut director Vikramjit Singh. It is by far the worst movie I have ever seen. Poor script with equally poor direction will make you pull your hair even before the interval of the movie. The talents of Arjun Rampal and Ranbir have been completely wasted. The viewer will never get a hang of what is happening on the screen. The narration is equally pathetic. There are a lot of continuity errors in the movie making the viewer puzzled.

The songs of the movie are good.

The only point for which one should go to watch Roy is the beauty of Jacqueline Fernandez.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND PRECIOUS TIME WATCHING ROY.
