Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi
A funky roller-coaster entertainer |
|
|
 JAN
04 -
Kudos some say to to Mahesh Manjrekar, the maker of ‘Viruddh’ who has chosen a
subject that is inspired by two Hollywood films ‘Bruce Almighty” and
“Bedazzled”. Some say it's a copy-cat! We say it's a bomb, at best
an average.
It is however different ball game in Bollywood this time as the package comes out as
a funky roller-coaster entertainer. It is in short okay, may not be
a paisa vasool unless you r a movie addict.
The successful pairing of Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao hits the mark
in this film. A light-hearted fun packed film “Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi” with its emotional moments and good music is made for
children and urban audiences. This sci-fi thriller has loads of
special effects in which Sanjay Dutt is a surprise package. He, as
the god of death, breathes life into the film and makes it
interesting.
Dutt, in his usual inimitable style, drives home a point: He is just
cut out for such roles. Prem Chopra -- and his repetitive villainy
-- not only looks incongruous but also unnecessary. It's time he
retired.
Shahid Kapoor tries hard to give a good performance and succeeds to
a large extent. Amrita Rao makes most of the few scenes that she has
and brings a grace to her part. Arshad Warsi is excellent in comedy
scenes. Himesh Reshamniya compositions are trendy and upbeat. |
