tiaradeol Happened to watch this movie, 'I see you' recently. I have nothing to do with films by profession but whenever I watch a movie, I end up researching a bit on it too. So researching on 'I see you', I found out it was a commercial failure. I kind of couldn't believe it. It was actually a quite good feel good cinema- a similar feel I had when I watched Abhay Deol's debut, 'Socha na tha', which also didn't do well commercially. At some level, movies do need to be commercially viable, but sometimes factors other than a 'good movie' might play a role. I admire Arjun Rampal's body of work but that doesn't mean I blindly believe in all his movies. I didn't like 'Dil ka rishta' or 'Humko tumse pyar hain' for that matter. But 'I see you' was a movie that I really came to like. First of all, the concept of the movie, a spirit showing up in a happy go lucky guy's life from nowhere is of course imaginary genre. But then the movie doesn't try to prove anything about ghosts here. It just shows a weird possibility of such a thing happening to a regular person. And then a little love story developing between the spirit girl and the guy! Then there is a villain doctor who is trying to kill the girl but the guy helps to save her. That way the story is simple. But what is unique here is the treatment. It's like easy breeze, just like the song 'subah subah' (it has three special appearances btw! Sharukh, Hrithik and cute little Mahikaa!!!). The scenes and background music are very easy flowing and without too much drama. I guess this is bit too easy-breezy for the typical Bollywood masala audience who are treated with lots of sensational roller coasters in most movies. What's nice about the movie is the interaction between the spirit and the guy. Once the guy accepts the spirit is a real presence in his life, the flow of energy between them is very natural building up to a romance. The scene where the guy calls the spirit 'khubsoorat', or where he sings along the streets of London with her, or how she transforms his view of life at times is all well done. The movie also carries lots of comic moments around the spirit. But again, it's not your slapstick type. It's subtle and nuanced comedy. The guy, Raj, running away from the hospital, his friend Akshay's disbelief, hospital scenes where Raj and Akshay save a life, Boman Irani as the psychologist, Sophie Chowdhary as the damsel co hostess with Raj, all are quite funny scenes. Performance wise, Chunkey, Boman, Sonali, Sophie, Kirron- all do a great supporting job in their roles. The girl Vipasha as the spirit is likable, but I felt something was amiss. Perhaps her little girl like dress which she had to wear for the whole movie was a set back to her. She needed something more 'spirit' feeling since the movie is about her being the spirit. Acting wise, she is not bad, but could have been more charismatic with an aura especially again for being a spirit. But the best part of the movie other than its music is Arjun Rampal. He looks gorgeous in all his movies (well he may look great just out of bed, brushing his teeth also, still..), in this movie, he looks one of his best looks. He is posh, stylish, suave, well spoken (hindi or English, the guy says his lines with such ease and charm, with that amazing baritone).. but the best part is he is endearing. His comic timing is subtle but effective. He emotes just enough never going overboard, nor underplaying. He is so charming as the flirt and then this really nice guy who comes around to help the spirit. Now coming to the flaws of the movie- I feel the spirit should have been more enchanting than it is. Because the movie is based on the spirit and the romance between her and Raj. The climax should have been more effective perhaps. Because when it all builds up, the movie just ends without cashing on it. The last scene where the girl and the guy meet again could have been more interesting too. Cinematography and music in the movie are top notch. With all this, I see you, is still a really nice movie to watch on a gloomy day and feel nice. I think it failed because of not having the masala factors, item songs, sloppy jokes and OTT sequences! Was multiplex a thing when the movie released? I don't know! Yet, I would recommend it to all feel good movie fans and Arjun Rampal fans! Lovely it is!

elshikh4 ***It has spoilers about (Just Like Heaven - 2005) Too***The Indian cinema makes about 900 movies per year ! So when they remake many American movies I don't blame them at all ! The American cinema itself used to remake a lot of its movies or others' movies, so the thing isn't the idea of the remake as an evident of insolvency inasmuch as it's the quality of it first ! Here it's a remake of an American one (produced 1 year earlier !) named (Just Like Heaven) which seemed like optimistic comic copy of (Ghost - 1990) yet it was genuine and fair. However the Indian one has no recognition about the original source of its story !! How they gonna deal with the American copy protect ?? It's not my problem ! My problem IS the script of this movie ! It just told us everything from the start including the state of the female doctor as alive in a coma ! That was one hell of a surprise at the original ! So blowing it up like this maybe was to give hope to the audience so they'll guess the happy ending YET this script must compensate it by another thrilling surprises, good comedy or tender romance but the ugly truth is that there isn't almost anything of the above in here ! I thought that they made some changes to create more profound movie. For example the hero/young man became here an announcer in some entertaining TV show maybe to make an ironic situation about the doctor's ghost (as a scientist who'll ask him to believe in fantasy and to judge by his heart), and him (as someone works at the business of art as less imaginative and more materialistic man; namely blinded by the liar flashes of his world) but I was such a naive ! Because the movie disappointed all of that ambitious depths ! Like the wonderful scene when she makes him walk blinded to see clearly, to feel the reality of humans and things, to be more sensitive or to be "lighter" just like her (as we all want to be : a pellucid spiritual humans) but unfortunately it was just slight scene in flood of boredom ! So now when I look at the reason why they didn't bother themselves making some CGI to show her like a transparent ghost I don't think that it was a trick to make us focus on the events as love story with philosophical meanings..NO my dears.. It was maybe a trick to cut the budget ! Probably you'll never stand the gullibility of that script like : why the sprite came to him in particular ?! (he didn't rent her flat as the original !), when he went to the hospital as a doctor to steal the body he didn't even disguise (not to mention that he's working as a TV announcer for one popular show !), when she forced him to kidnap her body from the hospital to save her from the evil doctor, she (as a doctor herself) didn't do a thing to cure herself ! Instead of that she begged him to leave the body so they could BOTH go to a party thus we have the opportunity to watch one big hot dancing number !!, it was weak link between the British officer and the sidekick (just to find out who robbed the ambulance !), she was the one who makes the officer see the body because she loved that announcer and now she wants no troubles for him !?? (Actually that what will bring the troubles for him !), though when the officer discovered the truth he didn't accuse him of anything ?!, if she knew about the real crimes of that doctor why didn't she (as a ghost) unearth some proofs at the hospital so our very hero and his idiot friend make some thrilling comic mess till they expose the crimes.. or anything instead of that poor climax (the officer catches the criminal so easily !), and at last it's too much already to add how stupid & slow the way that the felon doctor was trying to kill his colleague with, during her coma !!! The acting was near to horrible ! (Arjun Rampal) wasn't a comedian or trying to be one ! Being so dull like a male model in a fashion show !, (Vipasha Agarwal) isn't pretty at all yet she was definitely better than him as an actress but with a script gave her nothing to do except to smile all the time!, and being in very fabricated romantic scenes like when he was losing her at the end, thinking that she was dying..she was talking sadly about her being a ghost all her life before the accident ! In fact that was important storyline in the original movie which had absolutely no presence here ! So what the hell she was talking about??!, and the officer's personality ? It looked at the start like inspector (Clouseau) then turned out to be mixed up between being funny or serious ! and what about the matter of making the whole movie in England where the announcer, his crew, the doctor, the receptionist of hospital are all Indians !? (with English officer who can also speak Indian !). Despite the well-meaning message of it, and the too many Indian guest stars (like Shahrukh Khan as a guitar player in the street !??) this as an Indian movie was wretched and inferior, and as a remake it wasn't a romantic comedy as the original but a romantic silliness ! So my advise to its makers : Please…watch more movies !

arkasamanta I rented the DVD of this movie, because from the story I had guessed that this film is inspired from the Hollywood movie "Just Like Heaven", and I liked that movie. So I wanted to see how this movie turns out! What I got was a combination of average acting with Plot holes!! The movie gives up the main suspense of the story in the very beginning! The story's potential has not been used to the most! But still, this movie turned out to be a nice "Time pass" flick. Arjun Rampal as RAJ was average and so was Chunky Pandey. But the face to see is that of the new arriving actress Vipasha. She reminds me of Salma Hayek! although she needs to work a lot on her acting, she did a good job in the film. Lots of Special Appearances like Shahrukh,Hrithik,Sonali were an added eye candy! Music was not worth mentioning. But the locations of London were too beautiful! One last word! You can see this movie, but don't expect too much! And if you want to test the strength of the plot then watch "Just like Heaven" Instead!

Elisha I watched this recently in India expecting a lot because it was Arjun Rampal, but who knew he would choose a film this crappy? It had few lines of comedy and hit songs, but besides that the story is dull.It's about a talk show host Raj, played by arjun rampal, who lives in Britain. He's a lady's man and can get any lady in a snap. But then when he sees a mysterious lady on his balcony claiming to be somewhat of a spirit. But she's not dead because her bodies in a coma from a accident. Raj is the only one that can see and hear her. She befriends Raj and seeks his help to uncover the truths of her so called "accident". Through out everyone thinks Raj's crazy because he's talking to himself and dancing with himself.A remake of Just Like Heaven, which can't even entertain you for more than ten minutes. The only thing that entertained me was Chunky Pandey's scenes with over emotional wife and the songs.Gaurenteed FLOP.
