Hum hum toh rahenge na, ab toh bas hum hi hum rahenge..
Kunal (Kunal Khemmu) has big dreams of a luxury lifestyle as he reaches Cape Town with his wife Arzoo (Amrita Puri) for his new job of diamonds export. Arzoo starts feeling ignored with Kunal's busy new job. And after a while Kunal realizes the trap set against him, the people he works for are involved in smuggling as well as contacts with undeworld. His dreams becomes nightmares ...
As a first timer, director Vishal Mahadkar succeeds in engaging me towards the film for major part. But, the writers especially the one who wrote the dialogues simply weakens the film. Strong dialogues would had given much more weightage to various scenes.
Kunal giving reasons to Arzoo in their major fight sequence, Kunal's boss asking him to chose between 'Sach and Khushi' with reference to Italian food (Very well written and executed scene), and to a certain extent the climax sequence were some of best moments of the movie. Also, special mention to the voice-over dialogues of Kunal in the film, the only few ones that are properly written.
Except for Gunaah, every song was very well used. 'Chahat' used romantically in end credits, 'Aarzoo' covers the new lifestyle Kunal and Arzoo get in Cape Town, 'Jo Tere Sang' brings the change and mistakes Kunal does to achieve his dreams, 'Teri Yaadon Se' my fav song of album I feel would had been better with Kunal not drunk until he reaches the bar else I liked the way its filmed. Gunaah fails because one it is halting a particular ongoing activity, and two the parallel cliche of girl in temple and boy running. Not to forget the 'vidhwa' dialogue in between!
Kunal's performance is really good, I feel he has matured a lot ever since 'Kalyug', only in the climax sequence I thought his dialogue delivery was going slightly over the top. His expressions when Arzoo narrates the witch story or when he quitely watches the actions of Zaveri's brother in his new given cabin (my personal fav scene of film).
Amrita Puri dissappointed me, she still appeared to me in her 'Aisha' role, surely she could do much better than this. Also, she looked bit over-weight. Manish Choudhary was good in a scene or two only, though he was saddened with some poor dialogues.
Mia looked hot, I don't think she had anything else to serve for in the film. The guy playing Zaveri's brother was completely over-acting. While the friend of Kunal in film was pretty good.
Overall, Blood Money is a decent film. Its poor dialogues lets it down, otherwise director Vishal is very much able to narrate a story about how a dream job could so easily end up as your worst nightmare of life.
Verdict : NICE
