To beat the Monday Blues we
decided to go for a late night movie on Monday night. This in itself goes to
shows how much we wanted this movie to be a kick-ass movie. It had all the
right ingredients- a good cast (was gonna say great but was considering only
Siddhartha ;)) , a seemingly good story and ok reviews…atleast it would be good
..that’s what we thought too.
Alas in the first five minutes of
the movie we knew our hopes were shattered and badly at that. The movie begins
with an over chirpy an over bubbly Shraddha Kapoor talking to an Idol of Ganesh
and cracking a joke at the deity’s expense. She then like any upright lady in
Bollywood tries to amend the society by telling a telephone repair guy of the
mess he has created on the road. She predicts that one day someone is going to
die on this very road due to the negligence. Cut to the next scene where the
lady is seen using one of the applications that has sponsored the movie and
leaving a long message for the hero over phone.
Minutes later she is dead, how is something you
should try and watch yourselves (as Shakira says “I Dare You”). The distraught Guru
(Siddhartha Malhotra) lays his beloved wife to rest and there out of nowhere a
CBI officer turns up who is scared that now Guru will take revenge , read he is
no bothered about the murder or what happened , he is worried that the anger
and vengeance of Guru will prove devastating. J
The film then rallies back and
forth in the memory lane innumerable times and just when you start getting the
hang of it, the mystery is solved .Just like that, it is game over. He finds
the killer and he finds the reason of the killings.But does he lay down
innumerable bodies as the CBI inspector had predicted ? Uh, NO.
Instead he has some intense
dialogue delivery to do and say sentences which revolve around the same
sentence so many times that after a time you just simply lose interest. He
wants the killer to die everyday and then when he is close to dying our hero
injects life in him (Literally he injects some magic fluid right in the chest
;)). Why ? Because it has to be a long enduring torture. Yes the torture is
there …but for the audience and it continues till the very end.
The film has so many loose ends
no body has thought of doing anything about .The lady is about to die..how may
I ask? God or the director knows. It’s a disease so fatal that the major
doctors wife is dying because of it but our heroine is miraculously safe after
just one song. She has a wishlist …sorry but after #Awalktoremember
this just looks Cliché.
The only salvaging factor is the
music of the film and Riteish’s performance which should have been more
explored.
The movie’s title says “Every
love story has one “ …well not true folks. J
