GHANCHAKKAR-SERIOUSLY...


GHANCHAKKAR was on my recommendation list since the beginning of the year because of the two beautiful stories that RAJ KUMAR GUPTA had weaved in AAMIR and NO ONE KILLED JESSICA, but after watching the movie I feel it is not EMRAAN HASHMI who has lost it in the movie (Amnesia) but RAJ KUMAR GUPTA and the guys at creative/production- who have lost the plot big-time.
VIDYA BALAN is the sole silver lining in this odd cloud and she just lights up the screen whenever she comes on, VIDYA has become like the hot chocolate fudge of nirulas in Delhi or the vada pao/pao bhaji in Mumbai –means you can never go wrong with her, but unfortunately her brilliance alone can’t save the movie.
This is the golden period for all young and aspiring scriptwriters to make it in the Indian Film Industry, however this movie shows how sad things can become if you get it wrong (Talaash comes to mind).
AMIT TRIVERDI’s music is the saviour along with brilliant lyrics from AMITABHA BHATTACHARYA, LAZY LAD is a masterpiece but the movie unfortunately is not.
