Kaal - don't waste your money on it
Watched Kaal last weekend purely because we expected nice footage of Corbett National Park. What a disappointment of a movie! It could have been made so much better. There are huge plot holes and loose editing. Too many gimmicky Ram Gopal Verma like effects. Characters are not believable and therefore you can empathize with them. Acting barring one exception is horrendous.
Some random thoughts:
1. What's with the actresses moving around in the jungle in skimpy clothes? While I certainly don't mind the eye-candy, it makes little sense. Esha Deol in a cammo-patterned bra takes the cake!
2. John Abraham just cannot act to save his life. If he is wondering why he doesn't feature in Dhoom 2, here's the clue: watch your performance in Kaal.
3. Vivek Oberoi plays the brat role to pretty good effect, but that's all he plays. There is no depth to his acting and his dialogues get tiresome after some time.
4. Lara Dutta screams very well throughout the movie. And that's all she does. And I felt short-changed because I expected more skin to compensate for her lousy acting which, in contrast, was in full display.
5. Esha Deol puts on too much gook on her/over her eyes. Doesn't suit her. Not much scope for acting and she seems to have made use of this excuse to the fullest.
6. Ajay Devgan had some of the best lines in the movie and acted pretty decently for a stupid character, proving once again that he's certainly a better actor than the rest of the riff-raff.
7. Vishal Malhotra (who played Vishal) acted pretty well when he panicked towards the end. I felt it was pretty believable.
8. Shah Rukh Khan looked uncomfortable doing the item number with Malaika as the title credits rolled by. This song is no patch on the Chaiya-Chaiya number on top of the train. That song was sung with such feeling and the dancing was with such gay abandon it's become a classic.
9. What's with Siberian tigers in Indian jungles? What's with calling the park Orbit national park? What's with the name Krish Thapar (John Abraham)? The Tiger expert tag printed below his name in the report he makes for National Geographic was hillarious as hell.
9. What the hell were Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan thinking???
