The film revolves around a 60 year old married man Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) who falls in love with an 18 year old girl Jiah (Jiah Khan). Vijay is a wild life photographer who lives with his family in a Hill station. Jiah is his daughter Ritu’s (Shraddha Arya) friend. Jiah visits the hill station to spend her holidays with the family. Vijay on his regular tour is out admiring the nature and taking pictures. His focus is captivated by the young n fresh looking Jiah all drenched up. This harmless photo session changes his feelings towards her. It’s a love story between the two and how his family reacts to it.
The writing is not crisp as it shows on screen throughout the bold flick. Jiah is attracted to her best friend’s father and falls in love with him. Her behavior is defiant and aggressive. She woos him openly, even though she’s sharing the roof with the man’s wife and daughter. Now that’s a bit difficult to absorb. Also, Jiah walks around in the skimpiest of outfits, making you wonder what her true intentions are. Does she need him to fulfill her physical needs? A vision that might not be approved or acknowledged by many! But then Varma doesn’t show any regards for a particular target audience in this film.
Each scene is beautifully shot by the gyrating camera and slickly edited. Add to it a riveting background score that elevates the experience. The director exploits silent moments to the optimum using the piercing intensity of the eyes of the characters.
Also as a story teller RGV fails to hold on to your interest in the second half of the movie. Something which was expected, after a good first hour.
The visuals tends to get monotonous and repetitive after a point of time. And expectedly, like any other Ram Gopal Varma film that starts on a promising note but falters due to a weak climax. The ending is simply unanticipated.
