Bollywood thrillers take a safe and predictable route -- there are a few conditions of course. You have introduced to half dozen characters, who keep looking into the camera with twitched lip area. Just when you stop caring, one of them confesses his crime.
An odd theory is sufficed to back it up and then five minutes before the ejaculate somebody else appears with an even weirder theory. In between, a couple of ‘item’ numbers do the tricks to keep the B-grade tag afloat.It’s so formulaic that you can actually put your headsets on and still decipher each scene and lipread every debate.
Director Vishal Pandya’s (Hate Story 2 and 3) latest offering Wajah Tum Ho is one such film where you know that they're going to use a ‘the-butler-did-it’ kind of theory. And just for a twist, it will be the butler’s friend, the house maid, or the garden enthusiast, or somebody similar
But that’s most likely not enough to drive the audience gently insane, so heavy sighs and insane pelvic thrusts are thrown your way. Classics like ‘Pal friend did ke paas’ and ‘Aise na mujhe tum dekho’ are “re-mastered” in a manner that you may stop listening to the originals. The doctor has to have been insanely confident to concentrate that they can re-arrange the arrangement for these timeless songs. Are these songs really that easy to replicate, or the younger audience is perfectly clueless about the originals? In any case, it’s losing music.
Now the story -- if you’re still looking for it. Media mogul Rahul Oberoi (Rajneesh Duggal) is accused of telecasting a life hard on his funnel. Mumbai Police, headed by Kabir Deshmukh (Sharman Joshi), think they have damaged the case and then another killing finds its way on air.
No direct connection between Oberoi and the murders can be established and the person primarily responsible is his legal expert Siya (Sana Khan). Her brilliance not only lies in romancing Ranveer Bajaj (Gurmeet Choudhary), the government’s attorney for a passing fancy case but also in giving him a run for his money inside the court.
In between the court scenes, you also get to hear dialogues such as ‘Aaj is bhatakti khusbu ko thikana de do’ and ‘Ye case nahi, pyaaz hai’. I so agree with the second one. This is indeed as an onion. The more you peel from the lemon it, more you cry.
