Watch Naach For Free

Load of rubbish!!

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

In spite of all its drawbacks Naach is a pretty good movie. The story is interesting, the characters are unusual, the songs and choreography too try to do something different. Abhishek Bachchan acts very well. Antara Mali is not bad when she is doing the serious, unsmiling scenes but the one emotional scene by her is rather ghastly. Her utter lack of makeup is very nice though. The songs and dances even though a bit weird, are acceptable as different. What pulls them down are the minimalist costumes, which consist of strange Jurassic feathers and wings and scraps of chiffon. The story is about Reva who wants to achieve her goals but on her own terms and Abhi who will do whatever it takes to achieve his. They become a couple but of course their ideologies had to clash at some point.

Abhishek Bachchan annoyed me with his turn in this film. Thank God for Antara Mali who plays the other lead, I would have puked or something. I loved the premise of the film because it revolved around dance (hence the title 'Naach' which means "Dance" in Hindi) which I absolutely love and Miss Mali danced her tush off in this one! But, there just has to be a but and it comes by way of ABHISHEK BACHCHAN!!! He just acted like a spoiled-brat-out-to-get-some-action when he spots Mali's sexy (a great dancer who aspires to work and bring something new to the Bollywood dancing scene) character. She is a newbie in town who defied what her family had lined up for her, to come to Mumbai in search of her own dream. He is an out-of-work youth who is also defying his parents by going after his own dreams.While Ram Gopal Varma handles their attraction and love scenes very well, it was impossible to mask Jr. B's pouting and sulking. He falls in love with the girl, she teaches him how to dance and how to get in touch with his inner self, and when he becomes a big star, he expects her to just submit to his charms and forget about her own dreams. Mali's character doesn't mind the ultimatum, in fact, she sticks it to the ultimatum he gives her and she actually walks away. Sooner (than later) she is spotted by a new chassis (played by the charming Ritesh Deshmukh starring a Bollywood director) and a relationship is instantly implied. Once Jr. B sees this in the papers and shoots, his spoilt rich star self (which I'm sure is not very far from the man he is in real life) starts to act crazy, sulk more and ultimately demand that he gets the girl in the end. And ultimately in the end, he does.

Ram Gopal Varma is a in a class of his own. This is a movie about the aspirations of an aspiring choreographer & an aspiring actor. The choreographer played my Antara Mali wants to go her on way without compromising to nobody to achieve what she wants. The actor played by Abhishek Bachchan is willing to compromise to attain what he wants. Theirin lies the problems. The problems between these two characters form the basis of the movie. The script is pretty strong. The scenes between the leading characters is very well done. But the choreography lacks strength in the later part of the movie. Especially since it is a movie about the blossoming of choreographer, song dance sequences toward the end of the movie was kind of really boring.

Naach is an incredible story. I liked it, as I have all RGV movies. It is based in the reality of human emotion and not just the heightened emotions of technicolor love stories, although I like those movies too. Antara Mali and Abhishek are a great pair. Wonderful performances. And the cinematography is great, fantastic-- superb. I liked that this film is set in the world of Bollywood. Everyone knows it is a hard business, but this illustrates the struggle of these artists without being schmaltzy. The dancing is so abstract, but I admired it. Some songs I fast forwarded through because they slowed the film down. The dialogue is good and I recommend the film as long as you can control the remote. Ritesh Deshmukh also gives a great performance.
