Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
silvan-desouza Bollywood and con artists go a long way, EK KHILADI EK HASEENA was released months after CHOCOLATE. The film is a mix of CONFIDENCE and HOUSE OF GAMES. But the mix leaves a lot of loopholes in the end The film starts well, Rohit Roy and FK scenes are fun, after his demise things are well handled too but the film tries to be too smart in the end by changing the events(ala Sixth Sense) which makes no sense and leaves loopholesDirection is decent Music is good, the songs are shot like international songs and are good Jhoom, Saara Jahaan and all songs are goodFardeen Khan has the required style for the role and plays his part well Koena Mitra is awful, KK Menon is the best, Mukul Dev and Sharad Kapoor are okay,Gulshan Grover is terrific, Feroz Khan has a brief role and is as usual, Rohit Roy is fun rest are okay
Sherazade The Maverick and The Beautiful, as the title loosely translates, 'Ek Khiladi, Ek Haseena' is Bollywood's remake of the Rachel Weisz sleeper hit 'Confidence.' Koena Mitra appears here in the sexy vamp role immortalised in the Hollywood version by Weisz and the directors and stylists do there best to make Mitra stand up to par, and that she does to the best of her ability. Catchy song numbers as well as dragged out scenes and dialogue make the film a true Bollywood one by letting it unnecessarily spill over the two hour mark, and with that you just have to wonder what they were hoping to accomplish that Confidence and its stellar cast didn't already do? The film suffers from being too urban, too ahead of itself, too flashy, too sexy, too shiny in spite of being a dark thriller, too prim for its own good. Con artists and swindlers needn't over do it to achieve their goal, the director (who had a perfect 10 in his clutch) let it slip by overdoing the glitz and things. Nevertheless, Koena Mitra and Fardeen Khan don't fail to delivery the much needed sizzle for this type of film. Ignore Mitra's Britney Spears-ish number that the film opens to, there's much more to be enjoyed inside!
Vivek Sharma I was simply blown by the opening scene itself, which starts in reverse. Each frame was simply poetry and also an indicator that the director Suparn Verma is setting up the audiences for a ride. I'm a fan of film noir something missing in Indian cinema for a long long time. But Suparn Verma's debut film is a landmark in its style and plotting. In fact this film was recommended to me by a group of filmmakers and its already become a cult film. Much ahead of its times in the execution and knowing that was it was made for a ridiculously low budget, hats off. The story has been inspired by a few con films, but this film is about the execution. A must see in my book. This is one of those films that will garner appreciation over time as new and younger viewers keep watching it and the word of mouth keeps growing
indigshai-1 I think this is a great Hindi movie I have watched after a long time. Of course this is a great Bollywood Masala. I hope people remember what Bollywood is about and forget about comparing it to Hollywood. In comparison to other Hindi movies' of the year, this is definitely on the top. Fardeen acting is great, Kay Kay really shows what he is all about. He has really done well. Of course Feroz Khan is at his best as he is always. Even though he shows visible age, the dialogue delivery is as ferocious as always. I wish he had a bigger part in the movie. The romance in the movie is about right and where it should be. The movie has really been edited well. The pace of the movie is about what it should be. I usually, will finish a 2Hr 30m movie in 1Hr, FF all songs, unnecessary scenes and mocked fights. But I really enjoyed all bits of this flick. I really think that Fardeen has a making of a great actor if he is cast in these sophisticated roles.
