| Prince - It's Showtime |
Bollywood Actor Vivek Oberoi makes a come back with this Bombshell of an Action Entertainer by Kookie Gulati. 'Prince', written by Shiraz Ahmed of ‘Race’ fame, has every ingredient, other than a convincing script, that would be needed to make a blockbuster.
The film seems to be inspired by 'Ghajini' and several Hollywood flicks that deal with the memory loss of the protagonist. The filmmakers take the story from there and has stuffed the film with twists and turns and more of technology. Many futuristic concepts are employed, like erasing the memory of an individual and later inserting it back with a computer chip. At times, our hero even looks a superhero in the mould of Spiderman. If he is that superhuman, then why should he go through a series of "small" challenges to secure his end, one may be complled to think.
Vivek Oberoi plays the title role, that of a savvy thief. He wakes up, after committing a mega bank robbery, with gun wounds and without memory. He has many a task on hand: He has to find his own real identity; has to throw off CBI sleuths and the goons of a don from his trail. He also has to find out the place where he had hidden the riches he had stolen from the bank.
Soon, the hero finds that his name is Prince and that he has a girl friend, Maya. Soon, many girls come who claim to be his lady love. He finds the real Maya in the end and with her help, he succeeds in his mission.
Vivek Oberoi has delivered one of his finest performances in his career so far in this film. He looks stylish and is excellent in action scenes. Allan Amin's stunts and chases are so thrilling that they are seen to be believed. Sachin Gupta's sizzling scores add to the appeal of the movie. As for the woman actors, Aruna impresses.
The film is one of the slickest films seen in recent Bollywood. Its visuals, shot by Vishnu Rao, are magnificent and it is a treat for the eyes.
The director could have done a better job if he had trimmed some of the scenes dealing with the memory loss and the technology part of it. Another glitch in the movie is its far fetched climax. Despite its obvious drawbacks, the film has everything in it to go all the way to the top.
