'Lakshya' - Lacks Punch!

Continued: << Previous Page

There are a few questions we would like answers to. Why is Romilla in such a hurry to tie the knot when she is shown as an independent and intelligent girl? And she has just started her career! Otherwise Preity is convincing as the TV journalist. But why does only one news channel (Romilla Dutta from 'Global News') cover the goings on at Kargil?

The film fails to enthuse the viewers even when Karan's team returns victorious. Besides the two songs mentioned above, the rest of the songs are not hummable. Hrithik fans will surely be disappointed. Not by his performance (he is delightful especially in his goofy role) but they have to literally look for him in the second half. Wonder what the supporting cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Om Puri, Amrish Puri (the latter has just one scene and is completely wasted!) were doing in this film? Boman Irani is good as usual. One has to wait and watch if the film lives up to its pre-release hype especially with another huge film due for release next week!
