8x10 tasveer reviewed

8x10 tasveer is not the apt title for this vapid "thriller" which lulls the viewer to sleep and compound abhorrence with each scene as it unravels. if i were to be given the job of naming this movie ill go with 12x12. because as they say "is film ke barah baj gaye hain"

i wont go with my format for reviewing movies for this one since it doesnt even fall under a muvee which should be reviewed or rather viewed.i wont be describing positives and negatives but for this sorry movie only the latter holds valid so the former is ruled out. o no no no i m sorry it has a positive. it has a runtime of 2 hours. it gets over after sometime. phew!!!

akshay kumar has this bizarre quality(can it be called a quality?)of navigating into photographs but this virtue of his has a limitation(see the reality) he can only do dis for a minute. everytime he does so he pummels into unconsciousness.he helps people by this good gift of his but one day when he comes to know that his father whom he had bitter relations had died, he decides to look into the murder (out of a tiny place he had for him in his heart) which is being touted as a heart attack. i wont say that what he does to unravel the mystery forms the next part of the story but ill say that is left for the viewer to decipher(pity the viewer so much contemplation he has been coaxed to do). teachers must love this movie because it encourages one to scratch the brain not once but several times suring its course.

the movie has akshay doing what he does best---- action.the location ie canada which isnt even shown properly. just the usual home scene and occasional sea is projected as if screaming to the viewer go see for yourself why do we take the headache. ayesha takia needed a solid performance before her marriage to farahan azmi but fails in her endeavour and that too miserably. she vowed to never shed clothes and compensate that with her acting. with a very sterotyped attire in just about every movie she does, she becomes all the more hard to see making herself an eyesore despite augmenting her assets and going under the knife for umpteen number of reasons. (sorry for veering too much on all this and not the movie but after seeing this movie one is exhorted to imitate it ie go beyond the topic or beat about the bush). back to the review. sharmila tagore was better suited judging reality shows and holding the censor board chairmanship than act in such movies just to appease close friends. a movie so moroose coming from the director of iqbal,dor, et al. he might have though that his muse ms ayesha takia wud save this film but to his chagrin things take place otherwise. anant mahadevan is wasted as chacha ji. the little bit of "comedy" (note the inverted commas please) tried by javed jaffery goes down the drain. his role was also better as boogie woogie judge. he should refrain from muvees altogether than doing such stuff. one wondeers where this movie is heading to after seeing one hour or so.(sorry did i say see. plz read it as tolerate). i dont know how some faction of the common masses liked this film. either they are die hard akki fans who does live upto his action image or are pure blind to whatever he does. whether cc2c or tasveer they will bear it all in the name of akki fanaticism. it comes as no surprise that this movie was the last movie released before the producers strike. the mood in the industry sums up this nonsensical movie. it is one of the worst infact is the worst thriller i have seen. all hamming an no pure enacting makes dis a dull boy;infant rather.

got bored of reading the review? that was exactly how i felt watching this hogwash.ill pay through my pocket to see deshdrohi but not this. at least through former some amount of mirth will be a reason to see but tasveer leaves no reason to be viewed.
warning : avoid this movie(that is an understatement).
ill go with 0.5/5 for this disgusting piece of cinema. akshay has truly succumbed to foolish cinema in the name of earning quick moolah.

for anyone who thinks that i am wrong or harsh in dis review please read the detailed story below dis post.
