Shruti has turned out to be wonderful in Luck. In terms of her look, talent and body language, Shruti is not your conventional heroine at all. She's very unconventional."Read more...

BollySpice's Kidnap Movie Review 4 Oct 2008 | 308 Views | admin
Performance-wise, Imran Khan was the only silver lining in this movie. He was far from perfect, but whatever bit you do enjoy in the movie is thanks to his performance. It was nice to see him move from the baby-face role in his debut film to a more serious one, proving that he is indeed a capable actor.
The movie is shot well, the camera work is good - there are some very well executed scenes, but when you have a flawed recipe in your hands then no matter what the chef does his dish will end up disappointing the hungry audience. Random song placement, below-average acting, absolutely illogical writing and poor casting make Kidnap one of the most senseless movies of 2008. I'd suggest you only watch it if you know a fantastic surgeon who can extract all the grey matter from your brain for the length of this movie. Otherwise you'll end up shaking your head after every ten minutes wondering why writer Shibani Bathija is insulting your intelligence with such a script. Kidnap is a definite miss.Read more...
