      COuld be better

      This film is a remake of HOLLOW MAN

      The film has a simple story, earlier tried in DARNA MANA HAI

      The film has some funny moments even Tusshar's characterization is well handle and realistic

      While the entire magic things he does are funny but the film lacks the edge of the seat feel and by the end gets boring

      The sudden climax too is bad

      Prawal Raman does a okay job Music is okay

      Tusshar gets into the character perfectly and suits the role and acts very well Antra Mali is bad Govind Namdeo is okay Raghuveer Yadav is good,

      Ram Gopal Varma does it again

      Ram Gopal Varma executes his magic once again! Tackling a very different and difficult subject, the director does an excellent job in creating an entertaining film. We have all at one time or another as children imagined what it would be like to be invisible. Tusshar's character represents every person when they have felt depressed, lonely, and helpless, and Antra, their fantasy. Tusshar's daily frustrations leave him desperate enough to want to be invisible. His comic antics with his newly attained enchanted power are hilarious. Of course, "with every great power comes great responsibility."

      Gayab is an interesting adventure of how an ordinary boy experiments, uses, tricks, abuses, and changes with the power of invisibility. Oh, and please answer this question: What is so great about Antra Mali??

      cheated but oh well..

      I like the film ending.. great to watch. But what initially set me to watch the film was the soundtrack especially this track called "tanha". Turns out, that track was not even shot in the film!!! I feel Disappointed & cheated since "Tanha" was a great track with a soothing, alluring voice of Sonu Nigam. Anyway, guess what? There is a Tamil version of the film called "Githan". It Had a different ending from Gayab with all the different songs from a different music director. So It probably had a different screenplay except the invisibility formula devised by original producer Ram Gopal Verma. Wonder what ending it had different from Gayab? Did Mr.Invisible get his gal?
