Ek Se Bure Do: Spells double trouble
|
|
 The first half of the year 2009 shall be always remembered as the worst
in terms of content for the Bollywood films released in this period.
Just when we thought you can’t get more bad films than what we were
subjected since last few weeks – Lottery, Kisse Pyar Karu etc, here
comes the long stuck in the cans – Ek Se Bure Do.
This apology of a film as its name suggest is literally double trouble.
The makers have tried to en cash on the ensemble cast of character
actors who have most of the time left the audiences impressed but
forgot to add a good plot. The film is an attempted comedy of errors as
two crooks played by Arshad Warsi and Rajpal Yadav create chaos leading
more trouble for the audience and the film’s characters alike. The two
heroines Natassha aka Anita Hassanandani of Ekta Kapoor’s serials fame
and the other new comer Tussha are portrayed as dimwit babes whom our
heroes shown flirting with. Adding to the existing chaos are Govind
Namdeo, Vijay Raaz (in good form yet again), Yashpal Sharma and Snehal
Dhabi who complicate it all further. The proceedings get so irritating
after a point of time that you wish to stage a walk out. Bad production
values, jarring music, non-existent direction and script, tasteless
dialogues you name it and you get it all in this pathetic film. Agreed
the film is aimed at the masses but even they will give a thumbs down
to such idiotic entertainer. The only thing you perhaps remember is the
hot item song shot on dusky beauty Brinda Parekh.
It seems Arshad must have signed this film quick in the wake of his
Munnabhai MBBS success as he finally got a leading man offer in this
one. But now as years have passed he too must have realized its no
point promoting this film. As we see the film we realize why Arshad and
even Rajpal Yadav (who for the second time after Rama Rama Kya Hai Ye
Drama seems to have been given the lead role) were embarrassed to
promote this film. Natassha with her over the top acting makes us hope
she remains trapped in the idiot box and doesn’t appear on the big
screen. Tussha is just about passable. Amongst the huge horde of
character artists the only ones to impress are Vijay Raaz and Snehal
Dhabi. Rest all simply shriek in the name of comedy.
Just don’t even dare to think of wasting your precious time, money and energy on this one.
