A mismash but some good moments and a good msg
24 December 2009
What you call a film like NAYAK?

It has a message, it has a good topic but it's handling is a mishmash

It sometimes is like a social drama and sometimes veers into a surreal mode

It's like a south film, not surprising directed by Shankar a south Indian director

The film starts rather painfully with a bad joke by Johny and Razzak Khan and they are many of such incidents

The turn of events like the riot is ruined by melodramatic and exxegarrated picturisation

The interview too is too contrived to take seriously, also Anil made an interviewer from a cameraman is also silly

But the things Anil does to change the state of affairs is well handled though it's too contrived to believe that it can be done in 1 day Also the film has too many stupid scenes like Anil getting into disguises and fighting with a goon over a truck Paresh's outburst forcing Anil to join politics again is well handled and also the finale

Direction by Shankar is good in parts Music is okay

Anil Kapoor looks his best here and he dons the role perfectly his formal clothes, his natural acting and his common man type look suits the role Rani annoys as his girlfriend doing all the nonsense she mostly does in most films Amongst rest Pooja Bhatra is okay, Johny Lever hams it up as usual and irritates Amrish Puri is good in his part though a bit too much Saurabh Shukla is funny Paresh is a highlight, he is a natural hope to watch him in such roles now. His outburst is perfect Amongst rest Shivaji Satham is okay Vikram Gokhale has done dubbing for Anil's father while Neena Kulkarni is as usual
