Charming Film
25 October 2009
There was lot of concern if this film would succeed because of an unknown actor. The actor is not Hrithik Roshan, but he is well co-ordinated for a debut actor and his acting is mediocre. He is the type of an actor who grows on you as the film unfolds but not strong enough to sustain without a versatile actress like Priyanka Chopra.The funniest was the Anjali character (where she deliberately sticks her upper lip)with a lisping speech,cacophony laugh, the clumsy walk and poor etiquette. The twelve characters, even though have varying backgrounds the acting is of three distinctions-dumb,demure and crazy. There is certain suspense as to the next Raashee carnation would be-same token there is a nonchalant expectation too. The scene where they stare at each other on the balcony is poignant probably the best part. The story is original and unique but the spying part of the story drags the film down to a B-movie-not inline for someone like Gowariker. stature. The movie could have been tight-suffers from poor editing and long drawn out dances. Music is not the calibre of A.R. Rahman-his absence has definitely made a dent in the film. Overhaul this is a good comedy which bashes the NRI and at the same token brings up lot of social injustices.
