Then Zoya wrote ‘Luck by Chance’, I wrote ‘Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd’ and those films happened. This was a story that had stayed with us, and we even tried talking Farhan into giving it back to us, but he didn’t budge. “After we came back, we felt we were a bit short-sighted. So we sold the script and went on holiday. At that point, we had just started out - this was our first attempt to write anything.
He heard and said he really liked and wanted to buy it for Excel (Entertainment, Akhtar’s production house).
We started bouncing it around and Farhan (Akhtar) came into the room and asked us what we were doing. We were sitting and chatting one day and Zoya said something to me. I would say this was about eight years ago. It was pretty soon after ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ came out and way before Zoya (Akhtar) and I had written either of our first films. Q: This was a script that took a long time becoming a film, right?Ī: “This was quite a few years ago. Kagti, 40, spoke to Reuters about her new film, which stars Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor. Copyright years later, Kagti is back, switching from romantic comedy to suspense drama in “Talaash”, which opens in cinemas this week. The music, like the movie, is forgotten quickly.Īll in all, Talaash is a fiasco and a poor excuse for entertainment. The songs are like the rest of this movie: sheer drivel. The fight scenes are worse than crude - Akshay Kumar looks silly as he leaps off motor bikes into the windshield of a truck, jumps off buildings and shrugs off two massive chains that he's tied down to in Chote Pathan's lair. The narrative sags barely 20 minutes into the movie and never recovers. Then there's Tina (Kareena Kapoor), daughter of one of the gangsters responsible for kidnapping Arjun's sister, and in love with our hero. Still, despite these horrid events that can traumatize any adult let alone a 10-year-old, Arjun turns into a strapping young man, who's helping the police nab gun-runners, smugglers and other bad guys.īut Arjun has never forgotten his younger sister and the terrible promise by the gangster Chote Pathan (Kabir Bedi) to sell her into a brothel when she grows up. When still a young boy, Arjun (Akshay Kumar) is hit by a triple whammy - the brutal murder of his small- time-criminal father (Suresh Oberoi), the kidnapping of his younger sister and his mother's entry into a mental hospital over the shock of the first two events. How else can you explain so clumsily inept a film. Surely, the escapees from the asylum must have had a big hand in the making of this Bollywood movie.
