The Ugly Truth!

A runaway comedy

I went to see this movie as it had Govinda in it. I wanted to see if he stil had it in him. Well, to be honest, he is no more what he was. Nevertheless, he is still awesome...and he proves it. And teh best part: he has lost much weight. Guess running around in his constituency did help after all!

getting back to the movie, it is a story which I havent come across in any other movie. Not that I have watched all the movies ever made. But there is certainly nothing like this Bollywood. A theatre company travelling to London loses its lead actress and the manger com director cum everything else Paresh Rawal promises that whoever gets another heroine to act will get to be the hero. Obviously the race for a heroine starts with Govinda and Akshay trying to outsmart eash other. The story takes an interestin turn when the comedy turns into murder mystery engulfing Govinda, Akshay and Paresh Rawal. It is a race henceforth to prove themselves not guilty.

Like any other Priyadarshan movie, the comedy is woven in a great manner and carried out well. Its fun alright. And the murder brings story into the film. good. But not enough.

The music, i didnt bother to check the director's name, is not good. In fact, its irritating at times. too much of noise. however, the other aspects of the film are quite ok.

The acting department is kind of non-existent. I mean, not much scope for performance. But whatever scope it provides, Paresh Rawal stands out and yes Rajpal Yadav is worth mentioning too. Jackie does justice to his role. Akshay is fine. About Govinda, I started with him so no more mentions.

Overall this movie is a one time watch. dont bother to buy the DVD. Priyadarshan will never be able to climb the hights he reached with Hera Pheri again. But yes, i said one-time watch... so do watch it! you dont want to miss on three hours of laughter.
