Mannu Sadana I was very excited when I was going to see this movie but my excitement flied away just after seeing the first 15 minutes of the movie. This is the worst movie I'd seen in 2006. It is very bad remake of Hollywood movie 'The Rundown'. The story of second half of the movie is minor different but very very bad . Sunny Deol played the character of 'The Rock' of The Rundown. But his actions is too below than The Rock. Vivek 'oberoi' tried the character of Sean Willam Scott but couldn't do like 'Sean'. Special effects is of very low level. Somebody tell the Indian directors that Hollywood is too far & don't try to imitate them. In short sentence this film should be called "A piece of SH*T".
truly84 I think I should phone the director and ask him to re-release this movie and advertise it heavily as the funniest comedy of the year. I actually believe that it might catch more attention and gain revenue.It started downhill and kept going down from there until the last scene where I wanted to see some nice CGI, when Jackie wears the armor. But Sunny Deol - ah, and Vivek Oberoi, so gay that he would make my gay friend ashamed of his sexuality.And last, and pretty much the least, the director must commit suicide by hammering pins in his own brain.I should take film-making at college, and move to Mumbai. Actually, I just made up my mind...I will.
Chrysanthepop No way is it near the levels of the Indiana Jones trilogy. 'Naksha' does take its source from numerous Hollywood films, including 'Indiana Jones'. That doesn't really work in favour of the film. Yes, there are a few good moments (stress on the word few). I think this movie had potential to be great (given the concept) and since adventurous films are scarce in Bollywood, 'Naksha' is sort of fresh. Now if only, the director had actually done a better job. The film moves at an uneven pace Technically the film is quite poor. Since it takes place in the jungle, a lot could have been done with the forest atmosphere and mystery to make the jungle more involved but its hardly put to use at all. The cinematography could have been a lot better. The split-screen was annoying and irrelevant and don't even get me started on the slow motion especially in the action scenes (which I fast forwarded). The action scenes were over the top and too long (which is expected in a film starring Sunny Deol). The special effects are of poor quality. Some of the songs are likable and of foot-tapping quality. I liked the chemistry between Deol and Oberoi. Vivek Oberoi does well for the most parts. However, in his introductory scene, Vivek comes across as whiny and Sunny is over the top in most scenes (as usual). Sameera Reddy tries to pull off a Preity Zinta and adds some glamour. She doesn't have much to do but she does beat up an item girl. Jackie Shroff is irritating. 'Naksha' is a wasted effort. It could have been great if the screenplay were tighter (and a whole lot modified). Editing would have helped. The writing could use a lot of improvement. For example, either leave out Sameera Reddy's character or develop the character and make her somewhat relevant. Involve the jungle. Tone down the fight sequences. Come up with something original.
Chandramouli Daga I had no intention of writing a review on this film but after reading the reviews written by others i was forced to do so. One of them said that the movie deals with trash mythology.Let me bring to the notice that the film has shown some amazing things about the Indian Heritage so you can take a hike. The movie is quite average and enjoyable.Few things in it is not acceptable like the scenes of Sunny Deol and Vivek Oberoi which was just copied from Welcome to the Jungle and also the action sequences like the jeep stunt, the shotgun sequence, and the fight with the dwarfs. It was just Cut and Paste. The story though was the same, but the actors had done quite well.Sameera Reddy was unnecessary. Jackie Shroff did a fairly good job and was acceptable. Hence, in all it was a film with too many songs, but enjoyable at the same time... Only a one time watch...
