Just so...so bad
Kaydan Christian
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This movie is a perfect adaptation of the English Flick Unfaithful. Ashmit plays the role of Richard Gere, Emran that of Olivier and Malikka the perfect cheating wife role of Lane.They have changed the second half of the film to adapt for the Indian masses. Even then the movie has got the full traces of Unfaithful, though it couldn't catch up with the original. It was a cheap soft porn of the Bollywood lovers, where Mallika showed a lot more skin than anyone dared to show. Emran did more roles like this and was even nicknamed the serial killer. In the future if the Indian Directors plan to remake a English movie then they have to look into the feasibility of the plot with the Indian Censors. Though the film bombed at the box office, the actors got the undue recognition. In future the directors should be a little more careful in remaking a Oscar nominated film. All said, this is not a family film, so take the extra caution while watching it at home with family.

Here is another example of a copy of a Hollywood film. This time it's UNFAITHFUL. Like Dhoom, it's a copy that was also a hit. Before I begin anything, let me just say that the best thing about this film for me was the song 'Kaho Na Kaho', which is the reason why I bought the DVD in the first place. That and the fact that Amisha Patel's brother Ashmit brings it on in it. Of the three main cast member, Ashmit is the only one who shows some hope of a long career in acting(if only he had the right connections), he even upstages the usually good Emran Hashmi. Mallika Sherawat, looking very much like Halle Berry in this role, plays a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage (she married her dead sister's husband at the request of her parents, in order for her nephew to grow up with both a mother and a father). The husband here is played by Ashmit Patel, and the lover who comes into the pictures in played by Emran Hashmi who was also Sherawat's character's former lover. Most of the film is told in flashback. The film begins with a police chase (they're chasing Sherawat) and after she is captured, she tells her story and reveals that somebody is dead. The audience now has to guess if it's her hubby or her lover and what lead to their demise as she tells her story. Much was made of Sherawat's notorious nearly nude scenes, sex scenes, kissing scenes as well as shower scenes but aside from the fact that she's more risqué than most, she is at least beautiful player in the Bollywood game. I have to say though that as much hoopla as was made of the scenes between Hashmi and Sherawat, the most sizzling scene to me didn't even involve those two. The most sizzling scene involved Patel trying to share a shower with Sherawat.

This is one of Bollywoods better productions filmed interiors in Bombay and exteriors in Thailand. The film was done by a new Bollywood director hat despite health challenges he overcame, he has made another great film, Gangster.The film is a Hindi copy of Unfaithful but is really redone to appeal to Indian sensibilities. But I found that it appeals to everyone with its great sense of music and style.I really enjoyed the lounge song performed by Kashmera Shah. In today's Bollywood most item songs are getting sleazy. This one is classy and shows this girl is not only beautiful but can also act the dance not just dance and lip sync. I can't wait to see her next film! Overall great film, highly recommended for first time Bollywood fan. music is fantastic! Go Kashmira!

Storyline: The punchline of the movie says, "She is Married, She is lonely, She is having an affair". I guess this sums up the entire story. Now, one would be curious to ask, whether the skin-show is actually relevant. Well, I would recommend that you watch the movie to know more.Comment: The story line is inspired by Adrian Lyne's UNFAITHFUL (2002) starring Richard Gere, Diane Lane, Oliver Martinez, with sufficient changes in the story to suit Indian Conditions. The performances are quite average and bearable. Mallika Sherawat has created new standards for skin show in Bollywood with this movie.The Direction and Music have been given their due. The songs 'Kaho na Kaho' and 'Bheege Hont' would make the song worthy enough to have it as an mp3 in your collection. In general, the movie is watchable and makes a good pastime.
