OM KARA
Went to the movie on the shortest possible notice, again precariously perched on the auto. And once in the theatre, found a patient guy who can help me with my hindi comprehension and sat near him. Saif Ali Khan plays the role of a sniper (without a scope though) in the gang. The movie opens with Saif marking a baarath bus’ tire, thus stopping Kareena’s wedding. Prior to it Kareena falls in love with Ajay because he has injured his shoulder. I am not kidding. Kareena plays a very optimistic role. Once when Ajay comes to her home, she gives him a cup of coffee with her engagement ring in it. Kareena’s positive intuition and the hot coffee prevents Ajay from swallowing it.
As Ajay is shifting to politics, he is forced to find a successor for his gang. Vivek Oberoi gets picked up inspite of Saif’s seniority. This forms the crux of the movie. As there is no legal way in which Saif can snatch the leadership which he feels he deserves, he resorts to artifice. He spins an affair between Kareena and Vivek and makes Ajay believe it. Bipasha Basu’s role has been woven into the main story to have two item numbers. Also Konkana Sen plays the role of a village belle. As there are six stars in the movie, the director has made use of a simple means to identify the couple combinations. If two people of the opposite sex have an ornate hip bracelet with them when together, it means they are a couple and you can guess what will happen next. Now between all this entertainment, the gang goes on with its job increasing its frag count. At a stage of the movie when you start to feel that the cops have been significantly absent, guess who turns up as cops. Our own Ajay and Saif and still more fragging.
Finally Saif is given a deadline for proving la affair. I first misunderstood the deadline to be the morning of the marriage. But it turned out to be just before first night. Saif finally cooks up some crazy call in which it seems like Vivek’s reading of a paper written by Saif. Our gullible Ajay believes it. Now starts the killing spree. Whatever ways you think people can die, they do here. Kareena is smothered to death with a pillow by Ajay. Konkana confesses that she had stolen the ornate bracelet. So now Ajay turns on Saif. Then loses interest and chases them away. Then comes the sudden revelation that he is a necrophile. Later Konkana surprises Saif with a sickle and slits his throat. Now with too many confusions about who was right and who wasn’t, the director chose to end the movie allowing Ajay to kill himself thus saving our time and the reels
