This is my first critical review of a movie and i have been longing to do this for a long time now. Never too late.
Sunny Leone was a household name, for atleast the men in India, even before she entered Big Boss. Hence, the movie had practically no or negligible marketing costs. The first released poster was no doubt a crowd puller, but to be fair, there was very little left for imagination anyway.
The movie for the most part of it has been shot in Sri Lanka, the locations are exquisite and breath taking. The two houses where a major part of it has been shot are extremely creative and lovely.The flora, fauna and the water background only adds to the mysterious undercurrent of the movie.
The cast is well chosen and sufficient. The screenplay is flawless and some of Sunny's dialogues are memorable.
Aayan Thakur (Arunoday Singh) plays the role of an intelligence officer. This movie will make people sit up and notice him even more.His performance in Yeh Saali Zindagi earned him a nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 18th Screen Awards. His screen presence is very strong and endearing. His voice is very impressive. He has not got a very chocolate hero face, yet is very effective and delivers his part impressively.
Kabir (Randeep Hooda) plays a deadly assassin, who was previously an intelligence officer. He has really groomed himself into a well seasoned actor, who knows his strengths and short comings very well. I had seen his last movie In 2011,in which he impressed critics by giving a stellar performance in the film Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster.
Izna ( Sunny Leone ) plays the part of a small time drug peddler,who falls in love with a good cop Kabir. Only to find him vanished from her life one day. Later, is hired by the intelligence agency to set up Kabir. Sunny carries herself very well, her body language comes across as sexy, yet dignified. Her dress designer has done an extremely good job, in making her fit the part perfectly. She emotes very well for a first movie and is drop dead gorgeous.
The movie is based on a ' Honey -trap ' plot, in which Izna ( Sunny Leone ) is used as bait to get close to Kabir and steal confidential data from him. The first half is very engrossing and the curiosity factor for Sunny, reaches an all time high. However, the second part is a little slow and predictable.
The end is a little flat and leaves you wanting for more. The highlight of the movie is the music and the songs. The music by Arko Pravo Mukherjee and Mithoon is very melodious and fits in prefectly in the plot. The songs sung by Ali Azmat are set to top the charts for a long time.
On the whole a good one time watch. But,whether Ms. Leone is here to stay or not, her second movie will decide. Hope she chooses well.
I give the movie 2.5stars + 1 star for music = 3.5 stars
