ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Biswajit Tripathy Computer Hacker, Vikram, frames Jai Malhotra for this crime, and has him arrested, on condition that he will pay him 60 million rupees to pay for, Neha, his girlfriend's debts, to which Jai agrees. The bank account that was hacked is that of Babu Anna, a notorious Bombay criminal Don, who is engaged at this upstart for robbing him. He arranges to kill Jai when he is escorted to Court to be tried, but Jai manages to escape, only to find out that it was not only Vikram who framed him, but Neha also. This devastates Jai, and now he must run, not only from the police, but also Babu Anna's men, as well as his own memories.Jai (Shaheed Kapur) knows what kind of girl she wants to fall in love with. So it is but natural for him to fall in for Neha (Kareena Kapoor) when he meets her. He can do anything for Neha. But does Neha things that way too? He thinks there's is a perfect Mills and Boon Love story, but then life is not always that smooth. He has got something else in his fate.Vikram (Fardeen Khan) is a computer hacker who has hacked a bank account and transferred a lot of money to his account. He is looking for someone who can play the thief and surrender to the police as the thief. So what does Jai & Vikram have in common? Neha of course. Neha is in love with Vikram who pretends to be in love with Jai so that he could be framed in the bank robbery and they can live in peace. Then there is this Don whose money is stolen by Vikram. What will happen when Jai will know that Neha along with Vikram have framed him for the robbery? Will he take revenge? Or will he surrender to the Police and go to jail?
roysid I usually like dumb movies, provided they don't pretend they are something out of the world (eg. Jo Bole So Nihaal). The problem with "Fida" is that the makers think they have made some high tech movie, whereas this one is as dumb as possible.To start with, the hero Jai (Shaheed Kapoor) must be the dumbest of them all. When he sees Neha (Kareena Kapoor), he falls deeply in love (Even though he has Sonia (Kim Sharma) as his girlfriend). So much so, he empties a bottle of sleeping pills to get her love or death. Should have been busted then and there; would have saved himself and others lots of trouble.Sonia is intelligent enough to realize that she is stupid to love Jai. She promptly gets married and off to London. Good for her.Now the stupidity of filmmakers. At the very start a hacker siphons off a whooping Rs. 550 crore from the bank account of a don, Babu Anna(Akhilendra Mishra) and police can't do anything about it. As if banks allow so much transfer and money tracking is not possible.Akhilendra Mishra (if the name doesn't sound a bell was the famous "Krur Singh" in Chandrakanta) is a proper UP bhaiya who for some deadly acting reasons plays a Anna here. So here we have a Anna who dresses, has mannerisms like a North Indian. And tries to speak with a SouthIndian accent over his North Indian Hindi. Probably Akhilesh thinks he is Nana Patekar who have played both Anna in Parinda and a Bihari don in Apaharan, both great performances.Back to lover boy Jai. Neha tells him a cock-a-bull story of owing 6 crores to some bhai. Jai meets Vikram(Fardeen Khan), the hacker who will pay 6 crores but Jai must take on the crime allegation on his head.Jai takes the money, gives to Neha and surrenders himself to police. He escapes and finds then Neha is actually Vikram's girlfriend. Now you understand why he should have been busted long before.Anyway Jai feels bad and plots revenge which gives a lot more to display his dumbness...
tipsycitrus The opening with the hacking transaction being made is very classy and adds an air to the movie which sets a lingering tone throughout. However you have to wonder where its all going when after meeting this Neha, Jai begins to feel such strong emotions that it becomes sickening and as evident dangerous. I was caught by surprise when after all the happiness and declarations of absolute love Jai decided to self-harm for a naturally un-interested Neha! Wouldn't any normal woman naturally repel and remove herself from the situation? A man you have only known for a matter of days is already cutting himself to pieces in your name just to show you that he can! NO THANKYOU! You may thing I am just dismissing it but I think it was probably the most cruel act in this gritty plot as Jai put his utmost trust in this woman, little he knew...Nazar Nazar: Song number 1 in the visuals is a soft breezy track with mellow vocals that leaves you feeling its just another safe and pretty Hindi Cinema story especially after the first four lines...Aaja Ve Mahi: A very well put together number which is able to have you up on your feet at the first counts of the bass. Well choreographed, charming visuals and good chemistry. Slightly sickly.Dil Mere Na: What can i say. Enough sweet to kill a baby. However the outfits in this light-hearted number are easy on the eye. Cultured and colourful. The locations are a wonder as the input into the story is no-existent but the visuals are delightful.Maine Jisko Chaha: Raunchy, wild and (as you'll see in the opening of the song) wet! However do not get impressions that this is a song full of sleaze! It contributes majorly the film and just about explains everything after the cash transactions. We see a new sexy side to this heartless Kareena and Fardeen Khan is quite the designer dandy! Everything is thrown in for good measure Champagne to Showgirls! Sleek and sinful!by Khamisi Brown
ishel This movie is one of the most chameleon-like I have ever experienced. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it; but the mainly relaxed, whimsical, romantic opening (after the first encounter with the crime boss, who almost then seems to get forgotten for about 40 minutes, though you know he must resurface sometime) is filled with extravagant Bollywood dancing (though often with a more sexy feel than I have usually encountered in my so-far limited Bollywood experience) and over-played but highly amusing protestations of love on the part of the main character, Jai. In this portion, the aficianado of Bollywood ladies has plenty of opportunity to admire the very sexy Kim Sharma as Jai's childhood friend Sonia, and also of course his new love Neha played by Kareena Kapoor, who is more restrained in her sexiness but just demurely lovely. But after about 30-40 minutes, the pace and tone completely changes with one dramatic moment, and after that we are very much engaged in a helter-skelter action movie with multitude plot twists, wide-ranging shifts of location from India to Dubai to South Africa and even (I think) a small vignette in London, and a fair share of unarmed combat and exploding gunshot wounds. This is not a movie for the faint-hearted or the lover of simple romantic Bollywood stories, but overall it is an enjoyable ride!
