Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

silvan-desouza Sanjay Gupta after KAANTE turned a new leaf in his career, which was a remake of Usual Suspects+Reservior Dogs. Musafir is a remake of U-Turn(1997) The film like Kaante has lot of style,sex everything and also a twisted plot. The film keeps you guessing throughout which is a plus point, also there are several twists and turns which keeps you engrossed, the film does get slow paced a bit in second half, Also Sanjay Dutt's character is missing from second half, the climax too is flawed, Direction is good, but the writing could be tighter even Sanjay Gupta overdoes in style department,too much of style in the film Dialogues by Milap Zaveri are too goodAnil Kapoor gets maximum footage and does a superb job, he looks too good and carries off his part superbly, Sanjay Dutt gets a small role but the best lines and he carries such roles with ease always Aditya Panscholi with a bald head and french beard suits the role and is superb, Sameera Reddy is good in her role,raw in some scenes Mahesh Manjerekar excels in a role which seems tailormade Shakti Kapoor has a brief role and is okay Koena Mitra doesn't impress much Ashwini Kalsekar is good in a brief role

elshikh4 Remember the American movie (Single White Female - 1992) ? When (Jennifer Jason Leigh) was psychologically unstable, and went to imitate her roommate (Bridget Fonda) in nearly EVERYTHING! Well, I did remember it while watching (Musafir), whereas it imitates ridiculously American ANYTHING ! Director (Sanjay Gupta), who directed (Musafir) and co-wrote it (correctly co-stole it !), ensures whatever you may demand out of a purely commercial movie from the contemporary Indian cinema. And in the same time, his movie represents the majority of Bollywood production in the 2000s, as an ideal example for the shinny bottom that this cinema can reach ! First off, despite any onslaught you may do against (Gupta), you must admit that; with intensive technique, the man delivered what he promised, and what exactly did he promise ? "Blood. Money. Sex. Tears. Murder. Betrayal.". Just like the tagline said it frankly.. So "Get the picture ?!". But could ripping-off American movies, as well as imitating blindly their atmosphere and style, be a "style" in itself ? I think : Yes. However, what a shameful proof of lack that could be. I liked the old Indian movies. Surely they got their own problems, but at least were more original and more Indian. Now, and especially in (Musafir), it's nothing but American movies, American video clips, American style, and American music. Here, (Sanjay Gupta) made a mix of : A stolen American movie; Oliver Stone's (U Turn - 1997) this time + A gangsta rap singer's music video; overloaded with sexy girls, golden teeth, undulate smoke, rich limos, loud music, hostile lyrics, lewd dancing, and - let's not forget - ice cubes in a glass of wine ! + Some of Robert Rodriguez's style (in one sequence it seemed like a Desi Desperado !) + Possible plot concerning an angry Indian Don, filled with enough flying bullets and various corpses. All of that in a colorful, prurient, and psychedelic world that lengthens for - if you can stand - 151 minutes. It's hot, big, and in your face mix that embodies the crime Indian movie as pure American as it could be !So, what this entertaining movie from the east could say ? That the American pop became the pop ?! It was like watching an overlapping of broadcasts that included the MTV channel, an American movie channel, and some Indian movie channel; all at once. So if you used to call the flashy pastime flicks a cotton candy, then this is the dope ! Maybe it says that Bollywood has gone bankrupt. It has thick flamboyant surface and nothing else. For what it is, this is natural. For instance, James Bond movies have thick flamboyant surface and nothing else. But you know what ?, Bond movies don't endeavor to be Indian ! They have a script of their own, and a world of nonsense of their own too. Therefore the numerous references here to Indian classics like (Zanjeer - 1973), or else, weren't only a source of pride, or a homage from movie to another, it was also a kind of desperate affirmation that this is India anyway, or what's left to define it !Of course it says something about sheer technique just to amuse heavily. But the American works are already there ? So what exactly the Indian filmmakers have to offer ??! Actually it looked like an Indian movie written and directed by Americans, or an American movie with Indian language and stars !Speaking of which, (Koena Mitra) wasn't beautiful, as femininity suffers from famine. Moreover, It was scary to see (Anil Kapoor) knocked over by an American coolness storm like this; as if a vengeance of mad stylist hit him badly. (Sanjay Dutt) was the circus's silly clown. The drama was an excuse for too bright, too much, sizzle. And it's, as a whole, a cross between being a cinematic show and a bad joke. To tell you the truth, I felt that somebody gave (U Turn) a cheap Indian narcotic to hallucinate all what we watched ! I was amazed only by (Sameera Reddy). She was the sole true and pretty thing. However, she was just a lovely image or raunchy moment. And being that was the real ambition of the movie itself by the way. Although it hit the mark, but as an amount of fun and flavor : I'll never do this drug again !Fairly, if you look at (Musafir), you'll find how it's amusing. But if you look closer, you'll find how it's totally poor also. So Bollywood wants to be Hollywood ? Why not being yourself ??! It was tragic that (Jennifer Jason Leigh) in (Single White Female) hated her own character, and went to live as another person. And the situation in (Musafir), or rather nowadays' Bollywood, isn't less tragic.

Angelus2 Lucky is a con man who con's a local gangster and decides to celebrate his 'luck' with his girlfriend Lara, only she con's him and takes all the money, literally a second later Lucky gets a call and finds out the gangster he conned is a member of Billa's crew, a notorious gangster.Lucky then meets Billa who vows to forget the incident if Lucky does him a favour.The film has the classic songs that make a Bollywood film a Bollywood film. It has great scenery, Goa and fantastic songs that make you hum. The script is a bit of Hollywood movies here and there, too many to name. It has the Lock, Stock feeling. The cast was okay, especially with three veterans of Indian cinema, Anil Kapoor; Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Pancholi, (who looks really good.) One of the moments that I loved was the beginning, a different kind of start to a Bollywood movie, Lucky falls to the ground and confesses what death feels like and what you see before you die. The action scenes like all Bollywood films are a little over the top but its great to see Anil in different type of role, Sanjay is himself playing the gangster roles we have come to know of him.A good Bollywood movie..... considering what Bollywood is coming up with right now.

Sumit Jain The basic plot of the film Musafir (literal translation: Traveler), revolves around Lucky (Kapoor), a small time conman who inadvertently steals a hefty sum from an underworld kingpin, Billa (Dutt), only to lose it to his thieving mistress. Billa has Lucky work off the debt by transporting his narcotics. Thus begins the story of Musafir (the Traveler). Unfortunately though Lucky, the womanizer, can't keep his eyes of luscious ladies and this is where the excitement begins.Add to this, Sam (Reddy), the damsel in distress; Tiger (Panscholi), the corrupt police officer; Luka (Manjrekar) the domineering husband; and, Whacko Jacko (Shakti) a small time drug dealer; and you have a tinned spaghetti western.A poor copy of Sean Penn's U-Turn, this movie however does have a few good action sequences, especially from, The Man, Dutt himself and a bunch of corny dialogues. Be sure to check out the sizzling Sameera Reddy and newbie Koena Mitra as Kapoor's mistress.
