Review of Kidnap

Kidnap (2008)
1/10
A Predictable "Thriller"(as the makers call it)
17 October 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I had to go for this movie because Imran impressed me with his work in JTYJN.Well,he did not fail here either.Coming to the movie;I would say this will be one of the worst movies of 2008.The movie begins with a song(boring) and within the first 10 minutes of the film,there is the kidnapping(underwater kidnapping is a really stupid idea).This is the first and the last time you experience the thrill.With every 20 minutes the movie starts getting more and more predictable.Predictability is the worst,a thriller can suffer.Every clue that Imran gives Sanjay Dutt is Pathetic as no clue makes sense.The extent to which Sanjay Dutt goes to solve the clues is even more pathetic.The action sequences make no sense(Nobody would run a bike on the railway track to chase a train).Yes,there is one good chase sequence between Imran and Sanjay.But,this one too,"just looks good".(would you dare to chase a guy who jumps from one building to the other).The climax is something even a 7 year old could have guessed.The usual,"bad turns good" ending,laced with bad dialogs.As far as acting is concerned;Imran is at his evil best,Sanjay Dutt impresses with his body language,Vidya Malvade is just OK,Minissha has no scenes where she acts,rather she has overacted every scene in the film and Rahul Dev has given the worst performance ever.Talking about the technical aspects of the film;Shibani Bhatija has written a lifeless script,Screenplay and the dialogs are far too bad.Summing everything up,the movie is no thriller;rather a bad,action laced emotional drama.
