Way Complicated

Rating: 1/10 (21 August 2014)

The only good part of the movie is the chemistry among the cast. Rest all seems complicated, boring and stretched. Music, direction, dialogs does not help. Confusion gets more while story suddenly keeps switching between 2 periods, pre-independence and current scenario. Though climax is unpredictable, it does not grip you for long. No humour in the film, except a few scenes that too fail to create any humour. People have tried to give it a patriotic fervour and name, but it is surely not a patriotic film. Screenplay is good. Aamir Khan, Soha Ali Khan, Atul Kulkarni, Sharman Joshi, Kunal Kapoor have given a normal performance. Actors seems lost in a few situations. Kirron Kher did well and leaves a mark. Madhavan's episode has been unnecessarily added, and takes the story to a different tangent. Om Puri, Waheeda Rehman and Anupam Kher didn't have much to say. Veteran actor also did justice to her role. English actors have been taken in just to complete the story. The jazzy group is by force put into the shoes of Bhagat Singh, Azad, Rajguru and others. This seems apparent, as there was no other option for the lady-film-maker. Some camera angles and locations are good. But in Aamir Khan movie, one goes majorly for a story, which was surprisingly totally missing in this film. The movie seems too stretched in the end. All put together, added with mental complexity created for a normal viewer, does not make this movie qualify for >1 rating.
