EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Aamras attempts to bring light hearted teenage humour back to life but manages only one-fourth of it. The film is about independence, friendship, naughtiness, sensuality that strikes the life of four girls, almost at the same time.
Aamras ka funda usually would have worked well but the lack of promotion and known faces works against it. Moreover, the film is not really fresh and it takes the filmi elements from the Bollywood of the 90s. The theme does work, but only in parts.
The storyline of Aamras revolves around four school girls Jiya, Pari, Rakhi and Sanya. They all are very close friends and strike a unique chord at a renowned Mumbai school.
The girls manage to hold your attention well in the first half but the second half is a complete wash off. A sheer waste of time. Unnecessary emotions become very heavy for the film to carry till the end – result it falls flat.
Actingwise, the four girls do a decent job but this film will not get them a new offer as it does not prove their potential. The other actors are okay.
Overall, the film lacks the attention of the masses to make it a success. Watch it only if you have an eye for nuts!
Radiosargam Movie Rating: 3/10
