In Your Name (2003)
1/10
An effort gone waste
31 August 2003
Another effort in hindi cinema goes waste solely due to one bad choice. Namely, Salmaan Khan. Role of Radhey was the best role Salmaan could ever have gotten his hands on. He would have made it an award winning performance, only if he had tried to forget that he is Salmaan. It doesn't look like he even watched the original movie. People are praising Salmaan only because it looks like he has performed better than what he has done in other movies. I am sorry, I did not see anything different. Same incoherent way of speaking with unnecessary movement of hands, same dance moves, same old habit of throwing his shirt off without any reason!!!

In the good things, Bhumika chawla didn't have much to do but look sweet and innocent, which she does. Actually Salmaan also looks good with his trendsetting hairstyle(hairpiece). Music and songs are good. Specially Oh Jaana, in which Shaan,KK and Kamaal Khan have been used for chorus!!! Title song was good too.

Mahima was totally wasted. Normally if you get a special appearance for an item number, you focus on the person appearing but in this case the whole focus was on Salmaan. Who picked Mahima anyway? She is a good actress but dance, hmm I don't think so.

Satish Kaushik's direction was good. Although one of these days, he should make a movie which is not a remake of any South Indian movie. Story of the movie was okay. Overall, it was a good movie to watch once but hey Salmaan, please don't bother to make space on your shelf for an award. 7/10
