Jai's dad was killed by some accident and Akshay kumar who has power to see the past through 8X10 Photograph thries to solve the mystry behind his father's death. There were 3 protogonists he doubts to have killed his father, and tries to see there past with the photograph which was taken at the time of murder. There were some reviews which told that the director went through the same sequence 4 times when he tries to see the post and one feels that the movie doesnt move further and that the movie is very paced. But the truth is when he goes through the past for 4 times there was only a single shot which repeats and everytime they show different visual and each time they go through, you get a new twist in the tale.
In the last hour the movie goes through various twists leaves viewer guessing the culprit. But ending keeps you thinking.. And has a ending which is not seen much in Bollywood. The critcs have rated the movie below par though sighting the reason that the story is not upto the mark. And if there was a normal ending like many movies have, they say its a bollywood style movie. I would say the end is wierd, may be childish(But thats fine as the hatred for the culprit started in childhood. It makes sense.)
Performance-wise, Akshay has done a very good job and answers for those who believe that he can only do comedy. Ayesha is excellent and Javed Jaffrey is passable.
I also feel there is probably lot of negative wave in industry for akshay kumar.
Audience has mixed reactions and this is mainly because of bad reviews from critics.
I hope the movie does well inspite of this. Since there wont be any multiplex release for another 1 month cos of strike, there would be few takers for the movie.
rating: ****
