Asambhav (2004)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Sorry, this movie sucks

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

What has Rajiv Rai done to himself? Once a hit director of films like Tridev and Vishwatama is now making one bad film after another. I was initially excited at the thought of Rajiv Rai returning to the action genre but that soon fizzled out. As a Rajiv Rai fan I thought I should at least give it a go but I left after an hour. One reason for me leaving the film so early so the amount of Paki- bashing in the film, this was not in Rai's previous venture.A lot of directors have tried Paki- bashing but I did not expect it from Rajiv Rai Another letdown was the music. Rajiv Rai's have always had good music until now. There is only one good song and that is Tere dekh dekh Ladgayan. The performances are not upto scratch, not even from Rai Loyalist Naseer-Uddin- Shah. Avoidable fare from once my favourite director.

The president of India as well as his daughter as kidnapped and held hostage at a remote location during a visit to Switzerland and it is up to Captain Aditya Arya (played by Arjun Rampal in one of his many action-hero roles) to be deployed there and save them with his military/James Bond-like skills.You can always trust Naseeruddin Shah to bring it as a bad guy any day and any time, and he does just that as Sameer 'Sam' Hans a man with unclean hands and strong ties with terrorism groups. His men lure an Indian pop star named Alisha (played by Priyanka Chopra) to Switzerland under the pretext of making her an even bigger star but it all turns to hell when her best friend/sister is murdered for overhearing a terrorist plot. Her luck changes when she meets Captain Aditya who promises to help her escape from the clutches of evil. Too bad the pairing of Chopra and Rampal was particularly very bad here. They had zero chemistry in this film, it was painful!Look for passable action scenes featuring Rampal, and okay dance numbers featuring Chopra. The star of the show is truly Naseeruddin Shah in major bad guy mode. Mohan Agashe, Yashpal Sharma, Tom Alter among other co-star in this action packed adventure. Look for an eye-popping item number by Mumait Khan in the song 'Mashuqa Rubi.' Strictly for fans of specific stars in the film only.

I live in the region where this movie was shot and i find funny to see my town and other village in an Indian movie. But i find that this movie is a little bit boring, i mean, an action movie of 2 1/2 hours is TOO MUCH. the history need a lot of time to start and only in the last 3/4 hour it was very good to see. I think that in europe it will not work because we are not understanding why in an action movie people have to sing and dancing all the time. By the way I think that with some cutting and deleting for an European public this movie can work. And if you want to come in switzerland..keep cool! I never see so much dead people in our country!! ;-)

Watched this film with an audience of....5 in total! Had a choice between Lakshya and Asambhav...(realized then I should have gone for Lakshya). A typical plot...India v Pakistan..but just isn't cricket as you have Kashmir in the middle. An Indian super hero goes on a mission to save the President of India from some Pakistani rebels who are involved in a mass drug smuggling racket. I left the film half way as it was simply boring and the plot was confusing and all over the place. The songs were also awful, the film tries to hide the flaws with its special effects but unfortunately they are outdated too.Overall...avoid it if you can, has to be the worst film I've seen this year.
