Action Replayy (movie): A film without homework!




Directed by: Vipul Shah
Release date: November, 2010

After a long time the trailer was able to convey the right expectations of the movie. When the trailer came to charts the first impression about the movie was not promising and that’s TRUE. Most of the times the trailer looks very promising but in actual the movie is not a good one. But in case of Action Replyy the trailer was able to convey the right “picture” of the picture. Movie will disappoint you!

About the Story – Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai are married to each other for past 35 years. For such a long time what all they have done is fight, blaming each other and more fighting. Their only son Bunty believes that marriage was the biggest mistake done by their parents, due to which when his girlfriend ask him to get married he always run away from the scene. Bunty travels back to time so that he can change the arrange marriage of their parents to a love marriage, so that they will love each other and he will be able to marry his girlfriend. (Sorry to say but illogical thought)
The movie doesn’t look like its set up in late 70’s. Though the director tried a lot on clothes, locations, dialogues, so that it should give a retro look. However, the effort was not enough. In several shots including songs, you will feel the dress is of present time and if someone will not tell you, you won’t realize its set in 1970’s. Some of the special affects (like the first shot when Bunty came to 1975 and stands in front of VT station) are also not up to the mark. Story does not have much to offer. Actually there is no story. Just couple of events happenings now and then and director tries to make them humorous. It’s only Akshay, who will be able to make you laugh in 2 or 3 instances. That’s it, nothing else to cheer or talk about the movie. Songs are also not memorable (Jor ka jatka is an exception here).
Wait for the original DVD to be released or its premier on Indian television and provided that you don’t have anything else to do on that day than you can take the risk to watch it.
