Ankahee (2006)
5/10
Vikram Bhatt goes Mahesh Bhatt way
4 November 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Mahesh Bhatt has made several autobiographical films, right from ARTH, PHIR TERI KAHAANI YAAD AAYI, ZAKHM(based on his mother's story). Vikram Bhatt too follows his path in this film and makes ANKAHEE supposedly based on his affair with Sushmita Sen, but not sure how far it's true, also he refuted claims when the film released. The film has a plot which has been seen many times, actually the plot is similar to ARTH with daughter track added, Vikram Bhatt does handle several scenes well, however some scenes look too primitive. The film also gets predictable after a time but yet it's quite a decent watch

Direction is good Music is decent, Tumse Yun Milenge which is sung by Kunal Ganjawala(also a video is shown in the opening credits featuring him which was a trend those days)is good, Ek Pal too is good rest are okay

Aftab Shivdasani does a good job, this marked a comeback with Vikram Bhatt for him after Kasoor,Awara Paagal Deewana, Footpath.etc surprisingly even his voice is dubbed by Vikram Bhatt for reasons unknown Esha does a superb job in her role sadly her career never took off Ameesha Patel too gives a decent performance after ages, her career too never took off and she got releagated to doing second fiddle roles. Amin Hajee is good, Ashwini Kalsekar is superb as always, Hrishita Bhatt has a cameo and she is okay rest are okay
