Article Updated 02 September, 2007 09:07:37 PM IST   Victoria No. 203 By Our Correspondent ©2007 Bollyvista.com   This is the second remake released this week, apart from 'RGV Ki Aag'. The only difference is that this is the official remake and in fact the yesteryear 'Victoria No. 203' was produced by the present producer, Kamal Sadanah's father! Bobby Bomabata (Javed Jaffery), who is a rich industrialist, along with his partners in crime, Devyani (Preeti Jhangiani), Ranjit (Kamal Sadanah) and Tora hatch a plan to rob diamonds worth Rs.300 crores from an exhibition. But Tora double-crosses them with the help of her brother Karan (Rajesh Khera). Ranjit stabs her, but before she dies, she manages to hide the diamonds in a horse carriage called Victoria No 203. Meanwhile, the daughter of the horse carriage driver is Sara (Soniya Mehra), who is a call center employee by day, but by night rides the horse. Raja (Anupam Kher) and Rana (Om Puri) are two small time crooks who have been just released from jail. They learn about the connection between Victoria No. 203 and the stolen diamonds. They land at Sara's house, but end up taking pity on her and decide to help her. The director of super duds like, 'Dil Vil Pyaar Vyaar', 'Dil Maange More' and 'Aksar' comes up with one more turkey, this time in the form of 'Victoria No. 203'! Trust director Anant Narayan Mahadevan to completely ruin a wonderful and already proven successful script! One can only manage to survive the initial 15-20 minutes of the film, after that it's downhill all the way! Performances of veteran actors like Om Puri and Anupam Kher are pathetic. There is just no chemistry between the two and they seem uninterested with the proceedings. Debutant Soniya Mehra (daughter of actor late Vinod Mehra) just fails to impress. Jimmy Shergill and Jatin Sial are also part of this lackluster enterprise. This one is completely avoidable. * (One star)   close   Print this Article http://www.bollyvista.com   http://www.bollyvista.com/article/a/29/8026
