Sunday (2008)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It is a performances centric movie

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This film ruined my Sunday :) Actually the film is so horrible that it hurtsThis is become a trend now to make a hit film 1) Take some stupid plot and try to make it a thriller and a comedy too 2) Take actors like Ajay Devgan, Arshad Warsi 3) Put lot of action, comedy everythingThe movie is actually a jumble of all sorts Suddenly Ajay is a serious cop and a funny cop suddenly? Suddenly Arshad Warsi becomes serious for 1 sceneThere are some funny scenes like the ghost night in the cab but thats it The story is as simplistic and stupid as a CID episodeThe director tries to create suspense but baffles people everything he switches genre and everything falls flat The climax is one of the biggest jokes Rohit Shetty's direction is confusing though some scenes are good Music is okayAmongst performances Ayesha Takia is natural in her role and gives her best thankfully she isn't just giggling or smiling mostly like in other films Ajay tries hard to play a funny cop but fails, his ice cream cone thing is bad, but he is okay in some scenes Mukesh Tiwari seems better then him in comedy Arshad Warsi is funny at places Irrfan Khan is wasted but he does manage some good scenes Ali Asgar is so unintentionally hilarious that he proves that TV actors should not act in films

Watch out for Rohit Shetty. His movies are too good all the time. They are always so entertaining. He always cats Ajay Devgan, who is a very good actor and has shown that he can do whatever role he is given, no matter how difficult it is. He also makes it look believable, like it is just natural for him. However, he was not the one who impressed me the most. The main star of the show was Arshad Warsi. He is a natural- born comedian. His facial expressions and dialogues are so good. His chemistry with Irfan Khan is amazing. All of their scenes together are so hilarious, especially the scene where they follow the goons into the garage to save Ayesha and Irfan closes the door. Ayesha played her role very well too. She is another actress to look out for. She is far better than actresses like Aishwarya Rai, who is always overacting or not even acting. There is something wrong with bollywood. They give awards to the worst actors and actresses. In my opinion, films like Halla Bol, Sunday, Zameen, and Johnny Gaddar that were all box office failures are the best. Another thing that is good about Rohit Shetty's films is that in his films, there is always great chemistry between all of the actors, but the best chemistry is between only 2 of them. In Zameen it was between Ajay Devgan and Abhishek Bachchan. In Golmaal it was between Tusshar Kapoor and Sharman Joshi. And in this movie, it was between Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan. Also, all three of his movie are awesome and very entertaining with outstanding performances.

Sunday is the movie about a missing Sunday.Sehar (Ayesha Takia) is a dubbing artist for cartoon movies. Everything is going normal until one day when she misses a Sunday from her life. She doesn't remember anything about what has happened on that Sunday.She started feeling the missing day, when she feels her life in danger when she gets attacked by some strangers. She starts feeling when strangers starts hounding her for various things happened on that particular Sunday. SP Rajveer (Ajay Devgan) tries to help her out to solve the mystery of the missing Sunday.What happens on the Sunday is a mystery until the last reel of the movie. It's one of those who dunnit mystery but presented well by the director. Worth watching.

After a successful "Golmaal" Rohit Shetty's latest venture is Sunday. With an impressive star cast of Ajay Devgan,Arshad Warsi, Irfan Khan and Ayesha Takia, Sunday looked pretty strong in its promos. I was quite excited about the movie after watching the promos, my only fear was Tushar Kapur, but I thanked god when his name appeared as Special thanks. Well it's difficult to give a black and white review of Sunday. You can't call it an outright winner and not a complete waste of time either. It will definitely fall among the better category of humor of recent times. But still you will have some disappointments. Sunday is a comedy-thriller where the thrill part is a major let down. Sehar (Ayesha Takia) is a dubbing artist (thank god not an Advertising professional or journalist an innovative profession for sure) living in Delhi who is unable to recall the accounts of one Sunday. She remembers going to a night club on Saturday and going for a movie on Monday but one Sunday is missing. Ayesha Takia desperately wants to find out what happened on that day, well if one is chased by reckless goons who wouldn't. Strange people acts weirdly around her after that one missing Sunday. Ajay Devgan is a Cop and prospective fiancée of Sehar. A Taxi driver (Arshad Warsi) and a struggling actor ( Irfan Khan) are looking for Sehar and asking for 420 rupaye. Ajay Devgan tries to solve this mystery one missing Sunday. The real hero of Sunday are Arshad Warsi and Irfan Khan, the timing is impeccable, the chemistry is outstanding and when they both are together on screen they give you moments which will make you laugh out loud. The jokes are very situational and it's the sheer brilliance of Arshad and Irfan who instigate a touch of excellence. The first genuine hilarious scene comes in with the entry of Irfan khan and after that both of them never go down. One scene when Irfan Khan is dressed up as Ravana and the scene where Sehar scares the hell out of both of them are moments of great fun or the HR parody. Most of the other actors look desperate to make you laugh. Ajay Devgan's new found love for flaunting his cleavage is beyond my understanding and somehow he was not at all fit for the role. All the time it looks like he is fighting hard to be funny but not quite there. Ayesha Takia was not given the responsibility to make you laugh. Her job was to look pretty all the time and scared sometimes. It was nice to see that she lost some weight after her Miss Thunder Thighs and Hooters appearance in No Smoking, still there is a long way to go. Vrijesh Hirjee's accent might make you smile for the first time after that he just drags. Many side characters are put in for no good reason. Sunday is confused, there are few scenes which just appear out of no where and they don't make any sense. Arshad Warsi's emotional revelation of his kidney problem is one of the most stupid thing Rohit Shetty could have done. But good thing is every time after all the mayhem and stupidity Arshad and Irfan come on screen to clean up the mess. In the second half Sunday changes tracks to be a thriller still there are good doses of laughs. But the thriller part is the most ridiculous suspense you could have ever imagined. When the whole mystery breaks you feel like why it all started in the firs place. Casting that cute little bump as the villain clearly shows budget constraints or may be Rohit Shetty was smoking "Classic Milds". A major let down on the movie is its screenplay. Sunday is full of worthless song placed in the worst possible situations. To add to the agony the music is nothing but great. Rohit Shetty fumbles in all the romanticize sequences and the chemistry between the lead stars never builds up. In the end I will say if you have some extra cash and some extra cash give Sunday a try for the sake of Irfan Khan and Arshad Warsi's outstanding performances. Otherwise even if you miss this unlike Sehar you are not missing anything.I am gonna give Sunday 2.5/5
