kcalpesh A surprisingly good movie. Just caught up with this movie when it was shown on our local cable movie channel. I found this movie quite interesting. It definitely could have been a lot better but some fine performances by Soha Ali Khan, Rajiv Khandelwal and Mohan Kapoor kept the interest in the movie up.The story is about a music composer / DJ (played by Rajeev Khandewal) who's career is rocked by a sudden deafness due to constant loud music, high consumption of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. Enter Gauri, who too is deaf but still helps Rajeev come to terms with his disability.Wouldn't say don't miss it but yes, if you get a chance, do watch it.

brij-raychanda After long time writing another review as it made me to write review due to its story telling and impact on my mind. I wanted to write review of Ra-one also but its already much late so writing review of Soundtrack.When the movie was released I haven't watched its single trailer only heard its songs and was knowing that Rajeev Khandelwal is there and I decided to watch it in theatre as he always do powerful movies. But somehow I couldn't. But yesterday I finally got the chance to watch it.Story: Raunak Kaul (Rajeev Khandelwal) is a master turntablist who spins at a nightclub in what is implied as Bandra, the hip Mumbai suburb. One day he goes deaf. Does he plunge deeper into his cocaine-and-whiskey path towards perdition and hell? Or does he crawl back up to life and music? There's that tantalizing promise—the promise of a man's redemption after he has hit the abyss with drugs, bad decisions, being in love with the wrong person, and a sudden physical disability.When I watched this movie I first searched about its director and music director, and surprisingly I found both debutant in movie and I gone gaga over them. After watching I felt that now how many well made movies like this goes flop but we are getting too many people who has something new to give to bollywood. I know movie is remake of Canadian movie but it needs many efforts to make successful remake also.In direction department, Debutant Neeraj Ghosh blew away my mind by giving such fabulous start in bollywood. No doubt movie losses its charm at many places, like he could have shown Raunak's inner split person more effective (Like it was in a beautiful mind, Shutter island etc.) but in the first time its really too good work. Director has managed movie by showing it documentary cum drama movie with such a fabulous music.In script and screenplay department, movie also takes credits as it is well written and executed. Still it loses ¬focus at many places and can be developed more but still its too much effective.In acting department, Hats off to Rajeev Khandelwal. He never fails to our expectation and always leaves much impact by being like the real character. He impresses in every shade weather as DJ or as psycho or as deaf person. Soha ali khan has done his part well. Mohan kapoor is entertaining. Mrinalini Sharma is OK. Loved special appearance of everyone.Music and song department of the movie needs to be impressive in the musical film and so it is in this movie. Almost all songs are well made and well placed. Starting music and when Raunak feels the music first time after being deaf are awesome.In short, the movie is power pack surprise with superb acting, Fabulous music and well executed story with some lake of ineffective scenes. (Must watch for the bollywood lovers who like something different.)

Himanshu Desai In recent times, Bollywood has witnessed many melodramatic remakes (most of them, remade from South Indian movies). Soundtrack, though a remake of Canadian movie It's all Gone Pete Tong (officially mentioned in the end credits of the movie), is thankfully not over-the-top.Rajeev Khandelwal as Raunak Kaul is just marvelous. He is thoroughly in sync with his character and he has proved his versatility with this movie. He transits well from a DJ hunk to a deaf musician. Mrinalini Sharma is unbelievably hot. Soha Ali Khan acts well (yes, you read it right). Both the ladies represent contradictions in Rajeev's character. Mrinalini makes you go high in first half and Soha makes you feel dry in second. Soundtrack, has very good music but the background score of the movie sounds a bit pale. Two songs, Naina Lagey and Banao are placed wrongly in background score, which can't be digested in a musical drama. The "Johnny Joker" element added to make it a bit artistic movie, is appreciative, but not needed.Camera works is fancy. Cinematography is brilliant.Dialogues are fresh, crisp and hap devoid of any melodrama, which is commendable. Direction is good, not excellent.The movie could have been narrated in a heroic way but the director chooses a subtle and documentary kind(not to misinterpret as a mediocre way) of narration giving it an artistic touch rather than commercial appeal. Don't trust the reviewers that rate Bodyguard as first class, and do go for this movie. You won't be disappointed.

Stamewo I saw the movie in its premiere show and i liked the movie at the first go with good performances and one song that i especially like, 'Ek manzil'. The movie like every movie has its own share of flaws and virtues but sometimes at some part of the movie the former wins over the latter. The connection with the audience of the lead character is minimum due to which while watching the movie, the required sympathy do not comes in watching the scene where Rajeev is going through a turnmoil due to his handicap. We just feel it like of any other twist in the tale. Soha ali khan was lisping for no reason and it looked awkward on her, either they should have explained the reason for that or have completely done away with the thing. Mohan kapoor was a relief to watch and provided some comic and exciting moment, sometimes you would just wait for Mohan Kapoor to come on screen. Soha was OK and Mrinalini was OK too in her first long length role. The climax of the movie is not something that will raise the adrenaline flow in your nerves and by the end you will a desire for some thing more from the film but in return you will only get the credit roles. Manu Rishi was wasted for his level of talent. Songs are pretty good as i already mentioned my favorite one. All and all a good effort and good one time watch. Recommended.
