EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Samir Karnik has decided not to come of out Bobby Deol. I mean whether the script demands or not, Bobby Deol is always there in his movies. In addition to Bobby, it is the kid Dwij Yadav who has started irritating the masses with his humpty dumpty actions.
Eliminate these actors out of your contract Mr Samir Karnik, and I assure you a blockbuster. And what is it with the emotional quotient, the cries and fouls just goes on and on. Is there a stopping to this rona – dhona or not?
The storyline of Vaada Raha starts off with all the things going the good way. Dr Duke (Bobby Deol) is a true optimist and infuses hope wherever he goes and whatever he does. He is in love with Nalini (Kangana Ranaut). However, an accident changes the entire life of Duke as he is left paralysed below his neck, with no one by his side, not even Nalini.
Hope is lost until Roshan (Dwij Yadav) enters Duke’s room and slowly yet steadily creates an aura of liveliness. Roshan is suffering from cancer and the rest of the film depicts the way in which both the patients make an attempt for the other’s survival.
Direction is okay but Samir Karnik has not improved on his narration as yet. He still lacks the prowess to hold the attention of the viewer. Binod Pradhan’s cinematography is class. Music wise, Vaada Raha lacks melody. Choreography too is run of the mill.
Actingwise, Bobby Deol is fantastic. Kangana Ranaut is a cloud of make-up. Dwij Yadav does well but looks like there is a dearth of child artists in our Hindi Film Industry.
Overall, Vaada Raha does not live up to the noise that it has been making in its promotions. Avoidable completely!
Radiosargam Movie Rating: 4/10
