                                                Naqaab
Abbas –Mustan have this knack of delivering thrilerrs like anything .
From Baazigar to Naqaab they have come a long way and it is only fair
to say that they have turned up sometimes with real good stuff like Baazigar,
Humraaz etc.
But something seems to have gone wrong with them since 36 china town
and now Naqaab, both are pretty average. It really becomes torrid to sit through
their new release . Bobby Deol should seriously pull up his socks or maybe
ask papa dharamji to do a Rakesh Roshan for him, else the viewers might
forget him very easily. He fails to give those goose bumps which one would
expect in a thriller, though the script too is quite weak.
The story revolves around a multi millionaire Bobby Deol and his fiancé
Urvashi and her clandestine affair with struggling actor Akshay Khanna.
The fiancé realizes her true love is the actor and not the millionaire. Now
You don’t need need to be a rocket scientist to guess who ends up with
the gal. The sting operation & the secret camera are suitable for tiltillating
news channels. It fails to excite you on the big screen with the plot woven
around it. Maybe it is do with the overkill of news channels. Urvashi is good
for a debut . She looks promising in the movie. Music though is not good
which is surprising considering it is an Abbas- Mustan flick . not one
 song which you could out humming from the theatre.
Talking about the screenplay it lacks the pace of a thriller, first
 half is quite grim the second half catches up a bit but
fails to deliver the goods . Dialogues too leave a lot to be desired.
Script writing is one area where the industry needs to invest heavily. This
could stem the rot of this flood of flop films.
The movie is just about average. Akshay Khanna delivers a good performance
And Urvashi Sharma is also good. Watch it only if you have time to kill.

the movie is okayish one and is both watchable once and passable as well... the movie is about a couple bobby and urvashi who are engaged, they live in together... akshay khanna comes into life of urvashi and she gets attracted towards him... but apparently akshay has been hired by someone else to make urvashi fall for him... there is someone else who is following urvashi closely so you know something is fishy... in between this i-make-you-fall-for-me act, akshay khanna returns the favor and falls for urvashi... so now with guilt he is trying to back out from the deal... but urvashi breaks her marriage... after that suspense is revealed... once that is done you pretty much have a feeling on what will happen now... u just wait for how it happens...

overall decent performances by akshay and bobby, urvashi has a long way to go... she looks good though :-)... only one song is good... remaining are bad... not the best suspense-thrilles from abbas mastan brothers... again u can skip it and watch it.. no great expectations...

Disgusting Disguise with Painful Intentions

The plot of the movie is fresh, but badly executed. The main problem is that the plot is as convincing as Rajnikant's stunts (no offence to his fans ) and to make it worse the movie has more than one of them

The screenplay is really bad, the movie seems to be made up of "revelers" & "fillers" where revelers tell you something which you probably wanted to know while getting bored with the fillers...I think the disguised (Disgusting) intentions were mainly of the Directors and not of any of the characters

The performance of all the actors was pretty mediocre... with Urvashi Sharma looking good at some places.

The movie has one good song, Ek Din... that too badly coreographed.The only thing I enjoyed during the movie was the comments from the local junta at the theater...

 My Take - PLEASE AVOID IT !!!!

Worth Watching once

Naqaab's tag line is disguised intentions, it is well justified in the movie.. Sophiya (Urvashi Sharma) is the lead actress who works in Burger King in Dubai, she is in love with a millionare Karan (Bobby Deol), and they plan to get married soon, but on her engagement party with her friends she meets Akshaye Khanna, and things are not the same after that meeting, she finds herself drifting towards this "happy go lucky" guy who is a struggling actor in Dubai. But all is not what it seems to be.... this guy (Akshaye Khanna) has been hired by somebody named Rohit to fall in love with Sophiya.... The film has couple of mysteries, which are gripping. However you may find the movie a little boring in the first 15 minutes but when the plot starts uncovering the viewer gains interest in the story. I however didnot finf the movie boring in the first 15 minutes too... well Urvashi Sharma is looking Gorgeous in the movie.... so u can pass your time concentrating on her ;)

Akshaye Khanna's acting is good, Urvashi Sharma is okish... and she is looking too good in the movie. The songs are ok and they are less in number I think only two so u dont get bored once the plot starts to uncover.

Overall worth watching once, a new concept ;)
