'All Style No Substance'

Still from 'Musafir'

The background score, like the songs, is very loud and jarring! The dialogues are crass. The climax is a major disappointment, a common trait in Sanjay Gupta films. It is almost like a musician's signature tune! The only saving grace of the film is P S Vinod's camerawork that gives the film a foreign look. Not to forget Sanjay Dutt who unfortunately has an extended guest appearance in the film. He is the 'paisa vasool' element in the film and the masses are sure to love him, as usual.

'Musafir' is clearly inspired or rather ripped off from Oliver Stone's U-Turn. But the Indian actors don't really come up to the level of their foreign counterparts in the original. The film tries to ooze style at the cost of substance. Looks like Sanjay Gupta will never get over his Hollywood hangover. But how we wish he made his films classy like his inspirational source. Just slick presentation does not work! It would do him good to remember that.
