A Still from 'Nazar' |
In the supporting cast, the much talked about cameo by Neena Gupta is just about OK. Vishwajeet Pradhan (a Bhatt regular) is as usual. Ally Khan is passable (why did he have to imitate Mahesh Bhatt's style in the initial scenes?). Avataar Gill and Bobby Darling have no role to talk about. Cinematography is hazy at places. Special effects are average. Tunes by Anu Malik are just passable but the songs do well to take the story further. Background music is fine (though not extraordinary) and does well for the narrative.
One thing that is common in all the recent Bhatt films is that they all [Jism, Murder, Paap, Rog, Zeher] have revolved around crime. After watching 'Nazar', one feels that all the controversy before it's release was simply unwarranted. If the promotion had been more aggressive around the plot of the movie and the promos slicker, 'Nazar' would have taken a much better opening than it has this weekend. The movie is definitely not bad and has enough moments to keep one engaged throughout the proceedings. Don't look for a classic or a path breaking film. 'Nazar' is an above average fare that can be watched for a decent time pass.
