[QUOTE="ashdoc, post: 211026, member: 15932"] Ajay Devgan plays Shivaay who is a mountaineer capable of extreme skills ; no wonder , because he is virtually the modern incarnation of the hindu god Shiva---with long hair and trishul ( trident---Shiva's weapon ) tattooed on his body . He shows his flair for extreme mountaineering in some fabulously photographed scenes in the beginning of the movie---all shots of white snowcapped mountains taken from several long range and close out angles . I was laughing however when some firangee girls who came for mountaineering said that Shivaay looks so hot and sexy ; Ajay Devgan is ugly enough for a laugh at such statements . He openly flirts with one of them ( the bulgarian heroine ) who looks good with roses and milk pink complexion . While saving her from an avalanche they make passionate love in a tent that is hanging in a crevasse---another ridiculously unbelievable scene . But she wants to go back to her native Bulgaria , and does go back after reluctantly giving birth to an unwanted love child---wanted by him because he is in love with her and wants a memory of his moments with her , but unwanted by her . But when the girl child ( who is dumb but not deaf ) grows up , she wants to meet the mother who did not even want to see her face...and the father agrees under pressure from the daughter to take her to Bulgaria . Until now the movie was actually going well with some real story and sentiments and emotion ; I was engrossed . Even though the movie has been marketed as an action movie , it is actually in the emotional and tender moments that Ajay Devgan has excelled in direction...and he should have stuck to that . Because when he turns to action which is supposedly his forte , it is then that the movie unravels . For the actions scenes are nothing special and they are far too prolonged . While photography continues to be good , I found the action not so entertaining . It is hampered by the permanent expression of distress that Ajay has on his face . The action itself seems to be veering on tragedy all the time . The punches and kicks that Ajay throws seem too tired in their execution . Shiva ( Shivaay ) has opened his third eye , but where is the smoulder in the look and the fire in the soul ? Instead it is just a tired looking and distressed Devgan . In Bulgaria the daughter gets kidnapped by human traffickers , and Shivaay moves heaven and earth to get her back from the hell she is in . And mayhem does ensue . He is helped by an Indian embassy girl . And Shivaay has such divine powers that hundreds of bullets fired from a helicopter fail to hurt him for they fall all around him but don't hurt his body or his daughter's body while they are on the run---how ? only God Shiva knows.... The villains are the russian mafia , but there is no Indian villain---another mistake on Ajay's part . For with no famous Indian actor as villain and no famous Indian actress as heroine , Ajay has to carry the entire film on his shoulders . And he is no superstar to do that . Especially when the competition is 'Ae dil hain mushkil' with Aishwarya Rai , Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma . On the other hand music is good and some songs are really hummable and worth listening to again . Acting by everyone is okay but nothing great . But the Bulgarian mother and daughter look real cute . Verdict---average movie . Two stars . [/QUOTE]
