Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Absolutely Fantastic

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

I always like Abbas-Mustan films like KHILADI, BAAZIGAR Off late their films are being bad like AITRAAZ, TAARZAN, 36 CHINA TOWN NAQAAB a remake of DOT THE 1Sadly this film is a complete joke of a filmFirst half is typical Hindi love triangle with everything looking fake Be it Bobby- Urvashi love story or Akshaye- Urvashi or even the too much cuts- edit and everything actuallythe kiss after The EK DIN song and all the hot scenes are badly handledFew comic scenes are fine here and there but then the film does a 360 turn and becomes even worse in the last few reelsThe entire turn of events make the illogical film a farce Imagine you are laughing at the film being typical Hindi stuff first and then when it tries to be bold it makes you cringeThe sets, wardrobe design all seem too cheapAbbas-Mustan gives one of their worst films ever Music is saving grace, EK DIN is good Cinematography is goodBobby looks bored in first half and manages some scenes towards the end well Akshaye Khanna with a bad wardrobe is wasted though he manages to leave a mark as always but now his role, style is getting predictableUrvashi reminds you of Udita Goswami and Rakhi Sawant which isn't a good thing, her voice is awfully dubbed tooVikas Kalantri and Vishal Malhotra tax your nerves

Having seen this with no idea what it was about, I wasn't sure if it was going to be a complete song-and-dance-fest..or not. But, I stuck through it all. A couple of minutes of no subtitles in some sections, subtitles of spoken English that didn't match the spoken English and spelling mistakes in the subtitles added to the hilarity. It doesn't try to be a comedy, but is completely unbelievable throughout and features a ridiculous storyline that becomes more hilarious towards the end.If you didn't pay to see the film (I used my unlimited pass, so I can see as many films as I like in a month for one price), then great, it's a passable form of entertainment as long as you don't expect, well, anything at all. Otherwise, unlucky.

'Naqaab' which comes from the stable of the director duo Abbas-Mustan is a watchable movie! One wouldn't come out of the theater cursing it or ruing the wasted money!!! The first half of the movie is below par but I have given it a rating of 6 because the last 30 minutes really takes the graph of the movie to a new level. The first half seems a half-baked plot where all the three leading protagonists (Akshaye Khanna, Bobby Deol and the new Urvashi Sharma) are trying to create a love-triangle/drama of sorts. The character sketch in the first half not up to the mark and I can see a lot of viewers losing patience at the intermission mark. But boy, the movies does take a good turn in the second half. Though the movie is a rip off from a Hollywood flick (I would not name it though), it would come as a good enough thriller for Bollywood fans. Acting is not the strong point of the movie, Akshaye is strictly O.K. and Bobby Deol needs to get back to form really quickly. For her first movie, Urvashi is fine (and she is a quite a treat on the eyes). Another good thing is that song interruption is minimum in the movie (just 3 songs and one is kind of introduction). So all in all an average movie! Watch it just for sizzling Urvashi and the last 30 minutes.

This movie's a poor remake of a 2003 movie called "Dot The i" written and directed by Matthew Parkhill and starred Gael Garcia Bernal, Natalia Verbeke and James D'Arcy. I loved that movie and was saddened to see this awful remake. This not an adaptation or an interesting take on the original. It is totally ripped off, scene for scene. The location has been changed to Dubai- that's it. This travesty is made worse by forgettable songs and third rate acting by the whole cast. I don't think anyone ever acknowledged the original movie. I wonder how anyone can get away with this in this day and age when everyone is sensitive about intellectual property rights.
