A Still from 'Nazar' |
Meera sends a strong message to Bollywood regarding her being an actress of substance. Any novice actress in her place may have made a mockery of herself in a role that requires a lot of fearful expressions, confusion and shrieks. But Meera does all this as a pro and sets her feet in the right direction. A woman-oriented movie, 'Nazar' gives ample chance for Meera to display her histrionics and she manages to do that pretty well. In addition, she also shows that she can be glamorous if need be (through wonderfully choreographed 'Pyaar Asth' and the title song 'Mere Dil Me Raho'). Though she could just be more consistent about her makeup.
With no scope whatsoever in the script, Ashmit Patel does his best to act convincing as a cop. He doesn't act badly but the role of a cop doesn't suit him at all. The body language, voice, flowing hair, loose denim shirts - all of these make him more of a cool dude than a cop.
Koel Poorie is patchy - at places good but at others just average. She needs to work on her voice, which sounds squeaky because she appears more funny than serious while arguing a point with her seniors or ordering her subordinates. |
