Bluffmaster (2005)
5/10
Bold attempt but not quite there.
3 January 2006
Once again it all boils down to expectations. I went in expecting a 5 and came out with a 5. The movie was just too predictable. One other thing that i think all bollywood movies suffer from is this western hangover. The movie has toooo much English to much COOL, and too much style. That makes it very difficult to identify with the characters, the plot holes are numerous, but are excusable in this sort of movie. by far the best and most lovable part of the movie is nana patekar who steals the show. even ritesh deshmukh is decent and i see a bright future for him as a second actor. abhishek bachan is victim of his own stardom and i constantly got the feeling that they spent to much time making him cool and stylish and using English dialogues (honestly which people who sit in the stall in India understands all that?) and forgot that there also is the story. Also this movie suffers from the all destroying factor of the predictable ending and gutless one at that ( just by making the ending with some more B*&^s they could have improved the movie by 2 stars). But the movie is refreshing and original concept and the soundtrack and nana patekar make the movie worth seeing once.
