Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Blistering performances.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Another pathetic movie from Sunny and Vivek The movie copies from several films and comes as a terrible masala messThe first half is nothing great till Vivek decides to find out the truth but Sunny's intro is like a 80's Dharam filmThe rest comedy scenes fail to make you laugh Even the entire Jackie angle fails to convince and the last half n hour is the worst part It's hilariousDirection is bland Music is okaySunny Deol looks aged and wrinkled and does an okay job except when he goes loud Viveik overacts in comedy and is decent otherwise Sameera Reddy is a waste Jackie Shroff is convincing

No way is it near the levels of the Indiana Jones trilogy. 'Naksha' does take its source from numerous Hollywood films, including 'Indiana Jones'. That doesn't really work in favour of the film. Yes, there are a few good moments (stress on the word few). I think this movie had potential to be great (given the concept) and since adventurous films are scarce in Bollywood, 'Naksha' is sort of fresh. Now if only, the director had actually done a better job. The film moves at an uneven pace Technically the film is quite poor. Since it takes place in the jungle, a lot could have been done with the forest atmosphere and mystery to make the jungle more involved but its hardly put to use at all. The cinematography could have been a lot better. The split-screen was annoying and irrelevant and don't even get me started on the slow motion especially in the action scenes (which I fast forwarded). The action scenes were over the top and too long (which is expected in a film starring Sunny Deol). The special effects are of poor quality. Some of the songs are likable and of foot-tapping quality. I liked the chemistry between Deol and Oberoi. Vivek Oberoi does well for the most parts. However, in his introductory scene, Vivek comes across as whiny and Sunny is over the top in most scenes (as usual). Sameera Reddy tries to pull off a Preity Zinta and adds some glamour. She doesn't have much to do but she does beat up an item girl. Jackie Shroff is irritating. 'Naksha' is a wasted effort. It could have been great if the screenplay were tighter (and a whole lot modified). Editing would have helped. The writing could use a lot of improvement. For example, either leave out Sameera Reddy's character or develop the character and make her somewhat relevant. Involve the jungle. Tone down the fight sequences. Come up with something original.

Initially I had absolutely no hope for this movie, but I decided to watch it anyway. Surprisingly it wasn't too bad. It actually managed to catch my interest, especially the whole puzzle aspect of it. The integrated mythology was the best part of it. It could have been a great movie if they concentrated more on the different elements of the map - such as why each was included. It starts off slow but picks up in the 2nd half. Vivek Oberoi tends to get a little annoying. Jackie Shroff was perhaps the only actor in the whole thing that was sufficient. Sameera Reddy's role is completely unnecessary. Effects aren't bad, and landscape shots are well done. All in all, its good if you have time to spare.

I had no intention of writing a review on this film but after reading the reviews written by others i was forced to do so. One of them said that the movie deals with trash mythology.Let me bring to the notice that the film has shown some amazing things about the Indian Heritage so you can take a hike. The movie is quite average and enjoyable.Few things in it is not acceptable like the scenes of Sunny Deol and Vivek Oberoi which was just copied from Welcome to the Jungle and also the action sequences like the jeep stunt, the shotgun sequence, and the fight with the dwarfs. It was just Cut and Paste. The story though was the same, but the actors had done quite well.Sameera Reddy was unnecessary. Jackie Shroff did a fairly good job and was acceptable. Hence, in all it was a film with too many songs, but enjoyable at the same time... Only a one time watch...
