| Introducing
Sheetal Menon, a model aspiring to make a mark in Bollywood, Bhram
directed by Pawan Kaul is yet another suspense thriller. The movie
is the director's second directorial venture and stars Dino Morea,
Milind Soman, Sheetal Menon and Simone Singh in pivotal roles.
With lack of star value and below average promotion. Does Bhram
surprise or yet another cheesy flick?
Shantanu (Dino Morea) falls for a successful model Antra (Sheetal
Menon) and develops a strong bond with her. As the relationship
grew he gets exposed to some traumatic mystery that almost ruined
Antra life. He sets on a mission to find the mystery man and unveil
all the secrets behind this incident.
Pawan
has the talent to don a director's cap and his effort is evident
in the movie. But the story lets him down big time. The sequences
were bizarrely placed and the conclusion was appalling. However,
Pawan has executed some sequences well. The first half keeps you
alert as the focus keeps shifting from present to past. At some
point it gets confusing too. The pace of the movie picks up in
the second half as the illusions break and the suspense unfolds
itself. But again it disappoints with just another drop of a hat
kind of climax. It's so hackneyed that the answers run in your
mind even before it's seen on screen. Screenplay and dialogues
disappoint. Cinematography is good while the music is below average.
The performance factor of the movie is impressive. Dino Morea
does well. His expressions were decent and he carries off his
part with seriousness. Debutant actress Sheetal Menon creates
an impact with a good performance. Simone Singh is first-rate.
Miland is good.
Overall,
Bhram as a movie is just average but could do well at the single
screens; hot women with loads of steamy scenes. |
