Nanhe Jaisalmer

'Nanhe Jaisalmer' is an incredible film. Bobby Deol plays himself, an actor … that's fine, but in the movie he is a superstar! That's incredible!

Nanhe (Dwij) is a ten year old, who makes a living by taking passengers around the deserts of Jaisalmer, on his camel, Raja. Also, Nanhe is immensely fond of the Bollywood actor Bobby Deol. He often writes letters to Bobby Deol, with the help of his elder sister Jeeja. Obviously all and sundry disapprove of his fascination towards an actor. Things change, when one fine day Nanhe comes face to face with Bobby Deol.

First and foremost, kudos to director Sameer Karnik for attempting such an unconventional subject. That too after the disastrous fate of his first film ... that's brave! Next, shame on him for making a mess of the story and consistently boring the audience for the second time, after his debut film "Kyun Ho Gaya Naa" ... that's stupid!

Bobby Deol essays the character of the boy's friend very well, but he is just not believable as the superstar. The young boy, Dwij Yadav is a natural performer and steals the show.

Rajesh Vivek, Sharat Saxena, Prateeksha Lonkar, and Bina Kak form rest of the supporting cast and perform fairly. Point to be noted is that Vatsal Sheth is also part of this flick and he is a bad actor!

Ace cinematographer, Binod Pradhan, just doesn't seem to be in his element in this film. Editing drags like nobody's business. The film just goes on and on with no respite in sight. Music by Himesh Reshammiya is ok, with a couple of average songs, but his usual touch just seems to be missing.

Though director, Sameer Karnik does a sixth sense on us towards the end of the movie, it just doesn't manage to salvage the film.

* (One star)
