Sunday (2008)

This film ruined my Sunday :) Actually the film is so horrible that it hurtsThis is become a trend now to make a hit film 1) Take some stupid plot and try to make it a thriller and a comedy too 2) Take actors like Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi 3) Put lot of action, comedy everythingThe movie is actually a jumble of all sorts Suddenly Ajay is a serious cop and a funny cop suddenly? Suddenly Arshad Warsi becomes serious for 1 sceneThere are some funny scenes like the ghost night in the cab but thats it The story is as simplistic and stupid as a CID episodeThe director tries to create suspense but baffles people everything he switches genre and everything falls flat The climax is one of the biggest jokes Rohit Shetty's direction is confusing though some scenes are good Music is okayAmongst performances Ayesha Takia is natural in her role and gives her best thankfully she isn't just giggling or smiling mostly like in other films Ajay tries hard to play a funny cop but fails, his ice cream cone thing is bad, but he is okay in some scenes Mukesh Tiwari seems better then him in comedy Arshad Warsi is funny at places Irrfan Khan is wasted but he does manage some good scenes Ali Asgar is so unintentionally hilarious that he proves that TV actors should not act in films

I hardly criticize any movie, and this is one of them. Although Sunday is not exactly a comedy but it's hilarious scenes are not that impressive, but instead irritating and boring. Of course Rohit has his own methods and ideas of making a comedy movie, but in the sense that I am an audience - I cannot remark him positively like Priyadarshan or David Dhawan. The reason is that whenever I sit to watch either Dhawan or Priyadarshan's comedy movie I get exhausted of laughing and sometimes I need to drink water to feel free again. Whereas for Rohit Shetty's comedies, instead of getting laughed I get irritated. His previous comedy Golmaal was more useless with an absence of proper subject. There all the characters seemed stereotypically like dummies. This time it has a little bit of subject, still then it really fails to touch (or win) the heart.In the beginning I considered and was shocked seeing Ajay Devgan as a corrupted ACP, but later for her love's sake he avoids it and so I could breathe freely. The title of the movie also seems too odd, although it is based on the story. Rohit has a good understanding with Ajay for which he has taken him even in his third venture after Zameen and Golmaal. After watching Sunday one more thing I cannot determine in Bollywood - why they make all the action scenes like using robots in place of human being? Therefore, it is 50 years backward from Hollywood.Rohit Shetty is much advanced and unique in making action and thriller movies rather than comedies which he did in his debut Zameen. It was superbly made with a true subject on terrorism and its problems with Kashmir and Pakistan. That's why I cannot imagine as Sunday is made by Rohit Shetty again, because it is too far in standard and maturity as compared to Zameen. I could only be impressed by some cases where the true nature of corrupted police and politicians (in climax) are explained with good examples. The chemistry between matured Ajay and childish typed Ayesha is really worse, even her case with John Abraham in No Smoking. She looks like their younger sister and not girlfriend. Undoubtedly I really give a good *star to Arshad Warshi and Irfan Khan for their every step improvements in performing comedian role. In others' cases I have nothing to point out. That's it!!!

Having watched the promos of this movie, I was looking forward to watching this movie.Sohar Thapar has a big problem and that is she forgets what she has done, sometimes her belongings and sometimes that she has to meet people. But one night, after leaving a disco with her friend Ritu, she wakes up only to see that it is Monday. But what is worse for her is that when she goes into the city, she accidentally meets a taxi driver who, she thinks, is following her. But he only asks her for the fares that she owes him. She also meets ACP Rajveer Randhava, who, she is informed is a suitable person for her to marry. However, she soon finds out that he is a corrupt Police officer. But then then she faces more serious problems when she realises that she is not able to remember what had happened to her on "Sunday." She asks ACP Randhava for his assistance.After the success of "Golmal," this is Rohit Shetty's second venture with Ajay Devgan. The movie also stars Ayesha Takia, Arshad Warsi, Irfan Khan, Ali Asgar (of Balaji Telefilms's Kamal of "Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii) and Deepak Qazir (of Balaji Telefims Bapuji of "Kahani Ghar Ghar Kii" and "Kasauti Zindagi Kii".) Tushar Kapur and Esha Deol make a special appearance for item songs. What this film has highlighted is the situation regarding date rape drugs, which in forensic science, is very hard to trace when taking a sample after being raped. But this is a comedy / thriller movie genre and Ajay Devgan and Ayesha Takia are okay in this movie. But the two actors, that have saved the movie from being a total disaster are Arshad Warsi and Irfan Khan with their comedy.In some ways this movie has been a disappointment and more so after watching the promos, which to me, indicate that the PR and the marketing of the this has operated in the most appropriate manner.Conclusion: Disappointing but can be viewed with family.

Billed as a suspense-comic thriller, this one's a ho-hum in more ways than one. Rohit Golmaal Shetty just couldn't decide what he wanted out of his otherwise-talented cast, he messes up the recipe and throws the whole kitchen sink at you. The problem: the sink stinks.Devgan has to act a cool cop: so he licks ice cream all day. Warsi and Irrfan Khan drive around Delhi in a red car, which you are never likely to see in Delhi. Ayesha, who starts well, looks puffed up and lost in the bizarre plot, which is set in Delhi but you'd excused to think that the action was taking place in a one-car town with a population of 40.The suspense and the thriller elements are duds; some comic scenes however lighten up the proceeds. Shetty cant handle the romance between an ageing Devgan and a fresh but puffy Ayesha; the songs are dull and their filming moron. Makes you wait for the bits when Warsi appears, because he has the funniest lines, and Irrfan who feeds off his cues. These two make a good comic team who try hard to carry off the film to some extent.Shetty tries to put in too many items in the movie: from chases in a crowded Chandni Chowk to a gang of thugs led by a cartoon-voiced fellow to a Vrajesh Hirjee, a Karate expert speaking in a Malayalee accent without rhyme or reason. What actually happens to Ayesha is so prosaic, its not worth the effort of making a whole film about! The cinematography by Aseem Bajaj is good, especially his filming of famous landmarks in Delhi. The digital fusion of various scenes has been seamlessly carried out. Music is noisy, the background score is shrieky.Ajay Devgan looks listless trying to be cool, Ayesha Takia opens confidently in a well-crafted sequence of dubbing for an animation flick but loses vapour immediately thereafter. It is left to the highly talented due of Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan to provide some relief in the banal proceedings.There has been no movie last week, there is none next. Yet this movie played to empty seats on a Saturday.
