Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

adamooo Having seen this with no idea what it was about, I wasn't sure if it was going to be a complete song-and-dance-fest..or not. But, I stuck through it all. A couple of minutes of no subtitles in some sections, subtitles of spoken English that didn't match the spoken English and spelling mistakes in the subtitles added to the hilarity. It doesn't try to be a comedy, but is completely unbelievable throughout and features a ridiculous storyline that becomes more hilarious towards the end.If you didn't pay to see the film (I used my unlimited pass, so I can see as many films as I like in a month for one price), then great, it's a passable form of entertainment as long as you don't expect, well, anything at all. Otherwise, unlucky.

Shivajyoti Kundu Another off beat movie for the Indian movie-goers, and it ain't that bad. Naqaab has a distinctly different style of story telling, and coupled with some exquisite shooting locations it is a visual treat to the eye. Urvashi Sharma is pretty good too. She's a delight to the eyes of every unmarried male. Although I must say the acting in this movie especially of Bobby Deol and Urvashi Sharma was pathetic. Akshaye Khanna is good, but this isn't his best of roles either.The story is like any Abbas-Mustan thriller. Ripped/adapted from classic Holly flicks. This time around its loosely based on The Truman Show, and no, SLV isn't the derived movie theme. It has a lot of twists and turns towards the end, which makes up for the pathetic first hour of the movie. At one point of time it was hard to imagine if the movie is a thriller or a comedy. The songs aren't that good, the camera work which should have been exquisite,considering video camera plays a chief role in the movie, isn't up to the mark as well.No point harping on the plot, it is basically a love triangle with a good twist in it. Its a fun watch at the end of the week, after facing the brunt of your boss' wrath.

Brajeshwar Oinam (oinam) Alright, the movie was pathetic and I would suggest a "Skip It" option and wait for their CD (yes, not even worth a DVD) version or better yet wait for the TV version.Of course, it is the Bollywood version of another not-so-good Hollywood flick – dot the i; no surprise there! "dot the i" took place in London whereas Naqaab took place in Dubai. Your memories may also give you flashbacks of The Truman Show and The Graduate.The story involves a Love Triangle amongst multi-millionaire Karan Khanna aka Rohit Shroff (Bobby Deol), Vicky Malhotra (Akshaye Khanna) and Sophia (Urvashi Sharma). Sophia is a jolly girl who have changed more jobs than she changed her clothes – worked for a construction firm, beauty parlor and finally we saw her as a Burger King girl during the course of the Movie Storyline. She is a casual but self-respecting girl, pays her rent to Karan while she continues a live-in relationship with him in his big Mansion.Anyway, it is funny that such big Mansion of Karan is home to just three person – Sophia, Mrs. Gomes and Karan with no security for such a multi-millionaire Home. Anybody can come in anytime from the main gate either at day (The private detective/photographer coming in to meet Karan) or night (remember Sophia coming home date that day from a date with Vicky).Finally, when Sophia got engaged to Karan after 6 months of living together; she met Vicky Malhotra on her Engagement Party at a Posh Hotel in Dubai. Much to the delight of everybody, she was supposed to dance her last pre-marriage dance with a man of her choice. She chose Vicky and they fell in some sorta Love. I never knew love is always that simple in Bollywood. What did she saw in Vicky that she missed in Karan? Those crudely cut Salsa-type dance done in multi-multiple takes? This is one self-claimed Thriller that will not thrill you at all. The first half of movie moved at snail's pace and stayed with building the characters. The encounters of Sophia and Vicky was exceptionally slow and unnecessarily long. The movie tends to move to the comic side at the end or where the Movie makers assuming that the audience will need some comic relief from the thriller that failed to thrilled? And what with the 2 camcorder flinging self-styled producers – Vikas Kalantri and Vishal Malhotra? Why do Bollywood always take mediocre and sub-standard actors for the non-lead roles in movies. They could have been replaced by some better actors and could have done a little justice to the movie. They are supposed to be supporting characters to the actual plot of the movie.I won't really discuss the funny plot and be a spoiler for you who wish to see the movie. But gain, that's a stupid movie according to me. Btw, for those looking out for Urvashi Sharma, well then she has the body and there was enough of her flesh in the movie to quench your thirst. However, she is neither beautiful nor pretty and her acting ain't that good at all.

nadeem_ali Abbas-Mustan, who have introduced bold concepts of wife-swapping, surrogate mother and sexual harassment to Indian cinema, true to their unique style of storytelling, try something different yet again. Naqaab certainly isn't your ordinary run-off-the-mill Bollywood love triangle. And true to the directors' trademark, the film is filled with twists and turns. Saying anymore would be giving the plot away.While the film is a far cry from Khiladi or Baazigar, it is far better than their recent "36 China town" and "Tarzan the wonder car" Casting is where the directors probably lost it: Akshaye Khanna, an old mascot in the A-M camp, seems not only out of shape to play a struggling actor, he seems 10 years too old for the part. Bobby Deol, another old favorite of A-M's still manages to look the part of the flamboyant rich man, but can't pull it off with finesse. Urvashi Sharma is a major let down in the acting department. her emotions seem concocted and superficial. While she looks decent enough in places, there are parts where she is either made to look bad, or achieves it naturally. The supporting cast is feeble. Vikas Kalantri and Vishal seem to be playing buffoons stuck with a serous job. who knows why Raj Zutshi is even there in the film? While the locations and camera work merge seamlessly into the film and the plot is complex and well conceived, the film loses out in its execution: at times focusing on the obvious and at times playing a tangent to the storyline. while it scores points for originality and keeping the audience curious, it loses points for performances, or lack thereof and one twist too many.The first half sets the plot in motion with haphazard character introductions and development, and the second half has a twist every few minutes, intentionally put to keep the audience in their seats. character motivations seem strong enough but somehow the film lacks flow.the good: plot has interesting concept, interesting twists the bad: the acting, the execution of the plot the ugly: the supporting cast final verdict: Could have been better, but worth one watch
