Technical Analysis

Inspired from a real incident or a Hollywood bizarre called ‘Stuck’, only the helmer    Mahesh Nair can answer after asking Mr. Nari Hira.

Well the original was a comedy that indicated the downing level of humanity and insight the world has today, its weird bollywood inspiration is the downing level of creativity and insight our today film fakers ……..oops sorry makers have.

Ingeniously nasty which shockingly asks the question why a comedy was made into a thriller which increasingly worsens its chances of providing entertainment moment if it where there any. After just losing his wife Prakash( Farooq Sheikh – why he signed this) ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time when a high on ecstasy Celina bumps in to him Still, the nashe mein dhoot half time nurse half time party animal Celina has sufficient presence of mind to drive home, stow her car in her garage -- even as a semiconscious, sporadically moaning Prakash remains stuck in place -- and, come morning, take a cab to work. She's really bummed out by what has happened, but she knows that spilling the beans about her hit-and-run accident might dampen her possible promotion.

So the Celina asks her drug-dealing boyfriend (Abhimanyu Singh) to dispose of the inconvenient body. But there's a complication: The body isn't quite dead. Indeed, the longer he remains trapped in the windshield, the more time Prakash has to gather strength for the slow and painful process of escape. In the end he manages to escape and we take a deep breadth.  

The pic was suppose to be thrillingly unsettling but turns into a irritating bore where the audience hardly generate any sympathy towards prakash which should have been. "Accident is a meaningless directionless drive which boldly underlines the difference between a film maker and a faker.

Celina is okay. Abhimanyu is passable. It was sad to watch the immensely talented Farooq Sheikh in such a pity situation.

Technical aspects are okay. Production values are fine.

The movie gets 1 out of 5

The point given is out of sheer generosity

 

The Story

This is an awful headbanger where Celina Jaitly stars as Sonam Chopra, a hard-partying, overworked nursing assistant in this delicious, darkly humorous psychological thriller from director Mahesh Nair.

Sonam accidentally steers her car into the harmless Prakash Shrivastava, movingly played by Farooque Shaikh, sending him flying through the windshield... Not wanting to jeopardize her future, Sonam, along with her drug-peddling boyfriend Sid (Abhimanyu Singh), chooses not to get him medical help, leaving him clinging to life in her garage. But soon her psyche begins to unravel as captor and captive are pitted against each other in a bloody and outrageous battle for survival.

Promotion
