Prince (2010)
9/10
Perfect Entertainer With A Huge Repeat Value
2 March 2019
Prince satiates the Indian audiences' need for an action science-fiction thriller with spectacular stunts and technology. It is about a suave and stylish thief aptly named Prince. He wakes up one day with a blank mind at his beachside house. Then starts the adventure of Prince towards discovering who he is and why people are behind him.

Coming to the structure of the film, it has more than enough substance in the form of action sequences as well as songs. Twists are placed suitably and you get to feel enthralled when watching the story on screen. One thing should be said - the film might feel incomplete at some places - but that does not outright disturb the viewing experience. You will never get bored while watching this film.

Performance of every actor is splendid. Vivek Oberoi lives in the character of Prince and he has showcased all emotions ranging from vulnerability to confidence very well throughout the film. It is a treat to watch him execute his plans. The 3 heroines have done their job nicely. Sanjay Kapoor, Isaiah, Dalip Tahil have portrayed their characters very well and deserve special mention. The movie has high standards of believable unbelievability and handles such things well.

The film boasts of a sound technical team. Vishnu Rao's cinematography has captured the mood of the film very efficiently - there are beautiful shots during action sequences, and the tropical colour tones used in outdoor shooting is pleasing to the eye. Visual effects are splendid as per 2010 standards. This film has the potential to capture the attention of the youth and teenagers because of its catchy songs. Each song is a gem and it must be said that such a strong soundtrack with a perfect entertainer is a rare combination. Background music of the film coupled with the sound design compose one of the best audio outputs that have never been heard before. Editing is apt and the complex action shots have been handled well. Length of the film is completely justified.

The only negatives we can see are that a few characters are not given ample extension i.e. they could have been given more scenes. Serena and PK are two such characters. Also, the film carries a sort-of dated look that might not go down well with some people.

It is sad that we had not been able to appreciate this film at the time of its release. Such entertainers are very rare in Hindi cinema. Do not miss it on TV as it needs just a receptive mind to feel the movie. And who knows, you may become a fan of Prince as well as Vivek Oberoi. Highly recommended (even for repeat watching).
