Hindi (U/A)
Cast: Kunal Khemu,Amrita Puri
Director: Vishal Mahadkar
As the first half ends, Kunal Khemu regrets he sold his soul. And the viewer cries he bought the ticket. Bloody or not, wasted money for sure.
There is nothing dazzling in this diamond tale as the rags-to-riches hero gets drawn, first into a pool of half-naked bimbos, and then into the world of smuggling. All along, wife Amrita Puri weaves her life around the dining table — waiting for Kunal with an oven-fresh fare that is ultimately fed to the bin. Stale-wait! Busy hubby, you see. Of course, Kunal has time for a quickie with office hottie Mia Udeya (red lips, red lingerie... sorry no steam).Conscience pricks pretty late. By then, a good friend is already in the grave.
It’s payback time and suddenly Kunal is dealing with arms dealers and terrorists in Angola.That’s quite a journey from precious stones to guns.
There is also an incredulous scene where our man is stabbed deep and almost bleeding to death, still does an Usain Bolt as he paces across the streets, thrashing baddies.
The Bhatts fail miserably this time. Their latest gem should get a quiet burial.
