KAABIL - So the big clash . KAABIL vs RAAES. To start with Hritik's acting was pretty good. And to some relief its definitely better then Mohenjo Daro. But just slightly better. I don't see what was so great about this script that RAKESH ROSHAN decided to produce it , with Hritik as the lead and SANJAY GUPTA {a very stylish but a commercially flop director} to direct it. The thing is , the movie is predictable to death. Every turn , every action and every dialogue is predictable. I mean i was literally saying the dialogues before characters were opening their mouth. The storyline was very simple. Two blind people meet on a 'blind date'and talk , on 2nd meeting song happens , they fall in love , then the 2nd song happens and they marry , then the tragedy happens and the hero take revenge. The only expectation which i had was , how a blind character took revenge. It has been pretty awesomely done in the TV series DAREDEVIL and even in AANKHEN the robbery by blind people was done very good. So i was actually relaxed in the whole first half with that exact expectation in-spite of the fact that nothing exceptional happened in the first half. But the 2nd half didn't paid off. What i wanted was to see some exceptional intelligence of Hritik's character , rather what i got was villains dying because of their own foolishness and overconfidence along with incapability of Mumbai Police . In one scene police got a handkerchief on a dead body , and they directly concluded that the owner of the Handkerchief {whose name was written on the handkerchief} is the murderer without even checking the fingerprints on the handkerchief , in which case murderer could have been caught easily. In another scene , Hritik's character telephone Ronit's character and challenge him to come to an address , and Ronit quickly reach that place with just a single bodyguard. What kind of villain does such a foolish thing ? Why not take a full army of thugs to kill his enemy. And for god's sake , Bollywood villains should just kill our heroes when they have him on his gun point, and not start beating him with that gun so that after sometime our hero can snatch that gun and point it to the villain and again not kill him with that rather kill him with his hands. Basically what i want to say is that this film is very filmy . The story is not interesting , the action is not interesting , the dialogues are done to death , the villains are bad. Can good performances and direction with interesting camera work can save it. The Answer is No. O yes i forgot to say , this movie just cost 60 crores(because of which i think it would be a hit). And how is that possible ? Because of the bad CGI. Almost 25%of the movie has been shot with CGI background of MARINE DRIVE and an Under construction apartment which looked like crape. Did i mentioned SAARA JAMANA is now the worst item song ever for me after MAAVI VE of WAJAH TUM HO. Very badly choreographed (also with CGI background) and forcefully injected , although the song MON AMOUR has been shot very well. One last thing i want to mention that the director on an interview said that there was a different version of SARAA JAMANA song which was crucial for the storyline so has not been released , and will be shown in the movie directly ,but it didn't haven't. That means the director has just lied on the face of the public, DON'T KNOW WHY. Its a shame that all the hard work HRITIK is doing is just going to drain in every movie one after another. 6.3/10 by ANuP APu KuMaR
