| It
was the perfect time for this movie to be released, what
with the holiday season on. Sadly, producers, writers and
directors are not being able to cash in on this 'golden
phase' with decent releases. If TASHAN last week was a
disaster MR WHITE, MR BLACK released this week has your
brains in a fix. This no-brainer should have been named, NO
GREY MATTER, instead of MR WHITE MR BLACK. Taking the
audience for a ride is one thing, taking them to be complete
fools is adding insult to injury. How else do you ask an
explanation from director Deepak Shivdasani for this apology
of a film, which has no script, nor any meaning to the
proceedings going on screen. |

The movie begins with a bang, with the sleek
picturisation, sometimes over-the-top, of three
girls overpowering a security agency on a fly-over
to steal some diamonds. Then the movie goes phut!
Next shot you see Suniel Shetty arriving in Goa from
Hoshiyapur to look for his brother Arshad Warsi, who
in turn is a petty con man, and is able to convince
his girlfriend, Rashmi Nigam that he has a twin
brother who does the petty crime while he has to pay
for it. |

However,
Poor Rashmi is not able to meet the 'brothers' in one frame.
Is she a fool? Or are we the fools? So she goes on believing
that Arshad indeed has a twin. There is also Aniskha Khosla
who is the daughter of the owner of KG Resorts in Goa. She
falls in love with Suniel. The way they meet is weird.
Absolute absurd. |

The scenes are badly sewn together; there is no
continuity in the plot. Basically, the crew
(production and actors) are at a loss to what they
are actually doing. To make matters worse, there is
an irritating Sardar couple thrown in to spice the
proceedings, who have no connection to the plot.
When things make no sense, the director suddenly
decides to let everyone loose on the diamonds, like
a pack of jokers. |

It's
really sad to see Ashish Vidyarthi being reduced to doing
such roles. Ditto Sadashiv Amrapurkar. Sharat Saxena as a
cop too, is reduced to a buffoon, but to be fair to him, he
does try to put some life into his role. The girls are there
for the frills with no explanation given to the three who
stole the diamonds. I mean, who they are, why they did it,
do they have a criminal background… etc.
Quite a few people walked out of the theatre mid-way and it
says it all... |
