My Favourite Indian Movie Maker is back. Farhan Akhtar. This time again in his new found profession, but pre-existing talent of acting. I somehow connect completely to whatever he does. The man really makes the character look real be it, he being in front of or behind the camera.
I have been lucky enough to have had a sneak-peek at the movie. And I should say I was completely awestruck by the entire movie. The music of the movie is really groovy. Another soul-connection album provided by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Especially Hey ya, Uff teri ada and Jaane ye kya Hua. Im sure Uff teri ada would be a hit the night clubs already.
The story of this movie is really hatke. The film starts with a very thrilling feeling in the dark backdrop of a cave. Where the protagonist of the movie Karthik lies with his head on the ground smashed with a heavy hand. His body exposed to the icy floor of the cave and his blood being getting diluted in the ice. He can't speak, he's numb and has 2 guards hovering right over him. Then the camera shifts on the silhouette of a pony-tailed guy, a familiar voice. He's on the phone, puffing a cigar and speaking to someone and surrounded by the biggest computers one might have ever seen. The cave is a lab full of scientist working day in and day out, and one gets a feeling that even they have been held under captivation.
The main plot of the movie surrounds the threats of human cloning of how dangerous things can get in the future. The love story is a flashback into the life of Karthik. And that is where the entire movie picks, how things change in the real Karthik's life, how a dangerous experiment, could have meant a huge threat to so many lives in the world. Farhan Aktar is at his usual best, and Deepika Padukone is looking fresher than ever. The climax of the movie and particularly the unfolding of events towards the end are absolutely breathtaking.
The most amazing thing about this movie, and very well guarded fact, is that, the person who is running the entire show of human cloning, the pony tailed guy, is.... Shah Rukh Khan. While Farhan Akhtar has been fooling people that Don 2 is on the cards, KCK is indeed Don 2. The entire movie has been shot in the Alps and the scenes have superb aesthetic appeal. The entire Don gang is back and back with a bang!!!
