An absorbing anticipation may not necessarily construe into an absorbing screenplay. AA DEKHEN ZARA is a prime archetype of this statement.
Think about it... A man inherits his grandfather's camera and with the camera comes the adeptness to see the future. What an idea, Sirji... But AA DEKHEN ZARA is affiliated to a canteen of soda, which starts off with a lot of energy, but the buzz settles down faster than expected.
AA DEKHEN ZARA had abundant abeyant to be a arresting thriller, but center through the film, you apprehend that the writers accept run out of ideas. In fact, by the time the blur alcove the finale, the eyewitness is awfully abashed [like the writers of this film]. This is one jigsaw addle that charcoal baffling even afterwards its culmination.
In a nutshell, AA DEKHEN ZARA promises the moon, but what you eventually get in acknowledgment is alone a mirage.
Ray [Neil Nitin Mukesh], a disturbing photographer, has annihilation traveling for him... until he inherits a actual appropriate camera from his grandfathering which changes his activity in a way that he could not accept absurd in his wildest dreams.
The ability of the camera changes Ray's afterlife overnight. His activity becomes one big roller coaster ride that takes him from rags to abundance and aswell helps him accommodated the adulation of his life, Simi [Bipasha Basu], who is a DJ with a apperception of her own. Everything is hunky dory.
As they say with abundant ability comes abundant albatross and in Ray's case, aswell abundant danger. He have to now face up to the aphotic ancillary of absoluteness and win not alone adjoin the angry forces, but aswell adjoin fate.
Come to anticipate of it, your acuteness can run agrarian with a apriorism like the one in AA DEKHEN ZARA. But the blur runs out of ammunition midway.
Director Jehangir Surti has an eye for visuals, but he care to apperceive that the eyewitness wants to accept to a acceptable story, told in the a lot of simplistic manner. You care to be added accurate if you're attempting a anxiety thriller. You charge to disentangle the knots in such a way that the abstruseness doesn't abide a abstruseness in the end. In this case, it still charcoal a mystery.
15 account into the blur and you're fatigued into Neil's world. You are agitated every time he wins a action or race. The addition of the abrogating force [Rahul Dev] is smartly handled as well. But the artifice slackens thereafter.
Let's get specific, the additional hour is a problem. The cine should've arranged some abundant moments, but the writers assume to yield an simple way out. Sample this. While on the run, Neil and Bipasha al of a sudden breach into a ball in a broken-down pub. Prior to that they jump from the roof of the auberge and acreage beeline into the pool. The cat and abrasion bold gets added and added ambagious with the afterpiece alone abacus to the chaos.
Jehangir Surti can't do abundant back he's saddled with a poor script. Music is the sole extenuative grace. The songs are active and energetic, one of the affidavit why AA DEKHEN ZARA has generated amazing interest. Cinematography is good. The hunt and stunts are able-bodied canned.
Neil Nitin Mukesh showed abundant affiance in his admission blur and you alone apprehend him to ascend the ladder in his next release. Sadly, the cine doesn't accord him that opportunity. Bipasha Basu is alright. She looks abundant though. Rahul Dev is absolute for the part. Biswajeet [Neil's grandfather] has a tiny role. Sophie Chaudhary adds to the allure quotient. She doesn't get abundant scope, frankly. Bobby Vats is okay.
On the whole, AA DEKHEN ZARA had the abeyant to be an agitative fare, but the post-interval portions prove a deterrent. The absurd advance accompanying with the accepted agreeable account will ensure abounding footfalls in the aperture weekend, but the blur lacks the backbone to run steadily. |
