A bad remake of already average Hollywood movie ‘Knight and Day’.
Read at your own risk, there may be spoilers ahead …
When you remake a movie that itself was at best one time watch, you expect the film-maker to work a lot on script and do major changes. Siddharth Anand and his team didn’t believe in it, not only do they keep plenty of stuff same, the changes they make only makes the original Hollywood movie ‘Knight and Day’ look far superior to it.
Right in the first scene, Siddharth spoils the entire movie where he lets you know clearly that Viren
(Jimmy Shergill) who is dying has a brother Jai (Hrithik Roshan) who would revenge his death. Instead of keeping Jai’s character full of suspense, we are given the typical stereotype revenge story. Not to forget, Jimmy Shergill is given the smallest possible screen time, sadly for the viewers who are thereafter left to find moments to enjoy which are far and few.
Even Hrithik Roshan’s comic timing looks out of touch, what works is his stunt sequences and his first meeting sequence with Harleen (Katrina Kaif).
Watching Katrina Kaif after a long time, and you wonder what happened to her improving hindi diction, her dialogue delivery looked completely unbearable. Also, unlike Diaz in Knight n Day, Katrina’s comic timing is awful. Its only her looks that is likable in the movie at best.
The action is also so disappointing, nothing like jaw dropping at all.. not even one stunt scene.
The rest cast is totally wasted, as most of screen time is given to Hrithik and Katrina only. They get a extended romantic plot which only weakens the already going no-where movie.
Songs are certainly good break from the movie, giving some pleasant moments, specially Meherbaan which is my fav.
Bang Bang is a movie that is best avoided unless you are a die hard Hrithik or Katrina fan. Else like me you are gonna feel you wasted time watching this movie which gives very few entertaining moments.
Verdict : 1.5/5
