 The
promos of the film gave one the impression that it was
a hardcore musical. It also left one wondering if Antara
was again indulging in a lavish show of her toned body.
After viewing the film, these doubts are sorted out
and it also answers to a lot of questions. But one thing
is for certain. There is no stopping Junior AB now.
He is well on his way to scaling great heights as an
actor and is undoubtedly the superstar of tomorrow!
If the film works with the masses, you know who’s
responsible! Now for the story.
‘Naach’
is about a struggling actor, Abhinav (Abhishek Bachchan)
and a struggling choreographer, Rewa (Antara Mali).
The two meet, fall in love and are a happy couple who
sip coffee together while spending special moments at
her house. The two are also very focused on achieving
their set goals in their career. But there is a difference
here. While Abhi wants success, fame, and money at any
cost, Rewa wants it on her own terms. So naturally Abhi
tastes success soon while Rewa is still struggling.
The two separate owing to conflicts arising out of differences
in their personalities. Abhi is unhappy despite his
success while Rewa finds happiness in whatever she does.
Finally the big break comes! Overnight she becomes a
dancing sensation. Soon Abhi and she are cast together
in a musical.
All this is happening
while their love or hate story is still on. At times
their love story gains precedence while their professional
life takes over at other times. Trust a director like
Ram Gopal Varma to handle a subject so well. But having
said that, we have to add that the first half hour of
the film drags. If you can sit through that, you will
enjoy the remaining parts of the film. He has also gone
overboard this time in trying to make Antara expose
as much of her body, and look as alluring as possible.
Most times the makeup is also very garish. After all
those wasted efforts, what really works for Antara is
the strength of Rewa’s character, and her film
beliefs and convictions. She is particularly good when
she cries in the climax scene. It is time she got to
depend on her histrionics rather than her body gyrations
and Calisthenics.
But the best part about
the film is undoubtedly Abhishek! He is simply superb.
To say that he has grown by leaps and bounds as an actor
would be an understatement! His raw looks and vulnerability
suit his character of a struggling actor. While earlier
he looked gawky when he danced, today he is a very confident
and graceful dancer. It is almost like watching the
Big B in his old films. No compliment could be bigger
than this! Of the songs, the title track is quite good
but one doesn’t even remember the others. Good
cinematography. The film has its own dose of humour.
The references to the casting couch and real life characters
in the industry are quite funny and more than obvious.
The film could receive a mixed response at the box office
but again hats off to the director for attempting to
portray something so clichéd in a daringly different
style!
