Worms in the Chocolate

If Mr. Ugly would have seen Mr. Agnihotri’s version of The Usual Suspects he would surely have said “if you want to copy …copy…do not add your own”.

Well Mr. Agnihotri, even if one can try to sympathize with your attempt to Indianize Bryan Singer’s wonderful thriller, one cannot. Because “stylish editing do not a movie make”...it is the art of story telling that creates the magic.

Chocolate fails in almost every department. The script is pathetic; the acting atrocious, the attempt to create a mystery is feeble and the tautness associated with thrillers is completely missing.

Anil Kapoor is the ‘tar icing on this stale cake’...hamming and laughing like a lunatic throughout the film.

The two actresses seem to be in ‘I can show more cleavage than you’ mode complete with Ms.Reddy tearing her shirt open and screaming "main bhi doosri ladkiyon ki tarah bra pahanti hoon" - could you not think of anything better Mr.Agnihotri?

The only saving grace is Irfaan- one only prays that his unique style of acting just does not become a monotony ala Nana Patekar.

My advise- if Chocolate is what you want please reach out for a Cadbury…coz this one is surely full of worms.
