Movie review
From Time Out London
Bollywood’s latest assault on our sensibilities is a preposterous romantic thriller. Ray (Mukesh) is a hunky struggling photographer who inherits his grandfather’s camera which can see the future. He finds wealth and love with the sultry Simi (Basu), a feisty female DJ who likes to ‘rock the party’ by breaking into some dirty dancing in a downmarket bar. Predictably, they go on the run when the evil villain learns of Ray’s secret. An illogical script fails to utilise any ideas from the plot’s quirky premise. Consequently, there is little charm to this kitsch concoction even though the gym-fit beautiful leads try their best. The unoriginal title track implores us to ‘come, have a look’ but this invite should be refused.Author: Anil Sinanan
