Review

  • I just came back after watching Ittefaq The Film and I am very pleased with how the film has panned out. Kudos to Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and Junnu Chopra for bankrolling the film. And considering the fact that the film has been helmed by a debutante director (Abhay "Boo" Chopra), it was much better than I thought it would be. One of the best things about this film is that hardly any aspect of the plot seemed to be contrived. The film has been neatly layered and the audience will have a gala time trying to unravel the mystery. Whodunnits are fun to watch and I am glad Bollywood has churned out one that is awesomely intriguing. Akshaye Khanna is such a splendid actor. Bollywood, please please give this man more roles. He is so elusive and yet he makes sure that his audience gets immersed in the superb aura he exudes. Sid Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha's performances pale in comparison to the one given by Khanna. My advice to everybody who is reading this would be to not let out any spoilers after watching the film. And speaking of whodunnits, I am eagerly looking forward to seeing Murder On The Orient Express.
