This is the first comment i am writing on IMDb, despite being a regular here. The movie was so bad that it forced me to write this comment. You really need to see the movie to believe that it could be have made at all. Apparently, if you have a lot of money, and enough ego, a drivel like this can be put across.
This is THE movie to watch at a film school. All film makers in the making should watch this film to avoid pitfalls and obvious errors. Each scene is a class in itself. HOW NOT TO WRITE A MOVIE. Everything that could go wrong is incorporated in it. Almost as if it was designed to be bad. From the script to the incomplete characters, to the use of bad casting, to the hyperbole marketing. This movie shows what happens when one lacks aesthetic sensibilities in a domain.
The only reason i wrote this is to warn other wannabe film makers with lots of money in the pocket, but not enough time spent watching and studying the craft.... A clear case of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." the hack who made this travesty of a film (runing out of negative qualifiers), gives dilettantes a bad name. An even more casual dabbler of film making could have made a better thing (notice how i refrain from calling it a movie/ film)
A management "guru" can at best be good at transferring knowledge of academic nature. Trying to translate that academic knowledge into a living, breathing film is a totally different ball game. Look what happened when they put the worlds economy in the hands of MBAs. Come to think of it, the reason i am so upset, is the gall with which the movie was promoted, and proclaimed a hit even before it was released. Did someone forget the cardinal marketing sin? The fastest way to kill a product is to advertise a bad product heavily.
N.B. do watch the film, it will surprise you no end. Dekh sako to Dekh lo. Also, there are some comments in this section claiming it to be good enough to get a 10. I am quite sure they passed out of IIPM with good grades!
