Chrysanthepop No way is it near the levels of the Indiana Jones trilogy. 'Naksha' does take its source from numerous Hollywood films, including 'Indiana Jones'. That doesn't really work in favour of the film. Yes, there are a few good moments (stress on the word few). I think this movie had potential to be great (given the concept) and since adventurous films are scarce in Bollywood, 'Naksha' is sort of fresh. Now if only, the director had actually done a better job. The film moves at an uneven pace Technically the film is quite poor. Since it takes place in the jungle, a lot could have been done with the forest atmosphere and mystery to make the jungle more involved but its hardly put to use at all. The cinematography could have been a lot better. The split-screen was annoying and irrelevant and don't even get me started on the slow motion especially in the action scenes (which I fast forwarded). The action scenes were over the top and too long (which is expected in a film starring Sunny Deol). The special effects are of poor quality. Some of the songs are likable and of foot-tapping quality. I liked the chemistry between Deol and Oberoi. Vivek Oberoi does well for the most parts. However, in his introductory scene, Vivek comes across as whiny and Sunny is over the top in most scenes (as usual). Sameera Reddy tries to pull off a Preity Zinta and adds some glamour. She doesn't have much to do but she does beat up an item girl. Jackie Shroff is irritating. 'Naksha' is a wasted effort. It could have been great if the screenplay were tighter (and a whole lot modified). Editing would have helped. The writing could use a lot of improvement. For example, either leave out Sameera Reddy's character or develop the character and make her somewhat relevant. Involve the jungle. Tone down the fight sequences. Come up with something original.
Asbohra Naksha is definitely one of Sunny Deol's best action movies ever. The plot is novel, path-breaking, and new to Bollywood. This a total action adventure with thrills and fun. Watch this movie, and you will be in for the roller coaster ride of a lifetime! The movie is awesome and fun, and finally does something different from the norm. After seeing Sunny Deol in full form, I will say how badly I missed him in heavy action for a long time. The action is one of the best ever in any action film (unlike the previous venture, Teesri Aankh (I felt bad for the way that was done)). Now Sunny should just go nonstop no matter what!! Just ignore the stupid media and critics and just watch the movie. Do NOT miss this movie for anything else! This film deserved to be a blockbuster, as it was something new and different and cool. Just watch this action-adventure and enjoy man!! Recommended for Hindi action movie buffs. I loved Sunny's fight with the 6 Thai fighters and later, the shootout at the baddies' camp with the jeeps blowing in the pre-climax. I would give this one 12/10! Enjoy!!
tgsangha Initially I had absolutely no hope for this movie, but I decided to watch it anyway. Surprisingly it wasn't too bad. It actually managed to catch my interest, especially the whole puzzle aspect of it. The integrated mythology was the best part of it. It could have been a great movie if they concentrated more on the different elements of the map - such as why each was included. It starts off slow but picks up in the 2nd half. Vivek Oberoi tends to get a little annoying. Jackie Shroff was perhaps the only actor in the whole thing that was sufficient. Sameera Reddy's role is completely unnecessary. Effects aren't bad, and landscape shots are well done. All in all, its good if you have time to spare.
amitjain1512 Hi, In case you are sitting awfully idle and don't know what to do with your time then this movie fits in your schedule. Rent a VCD and see it and don't waste your money going to the theatres.The plot tries to work on Indian mythology but the movie is so loosely scripted and even so badly executed that you wonder why did the makers even make it. The actors are totally wasted and loose they simple did it for money and they are not getting any worthwhile project to do (which is actually true for all the starts of this film).Creditible is the fact that they tried to make an adventure film that have totally died out in Bollywood.See it..close it..forget it.. (if u want to watch it)
