VETA (Movie Review By Yoonus E.K)

Veta - Richard's comeback movie could not create the ripples it should have in the movie world. The first thing which was not in tune were the weak promos and the weakest musical score for a comeback movie like this. If you see the movie, you will find that there are better scenes and dance sequences which should have been used to introduce the film in the market. The story line and the basic plot has a striking resemblance to the theme of a Bollywood Movie called "Darna Mana Hai" which came in 2003 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349333/), which was also not a well made movie.   In the whole movie Richard is the only positive thing to see and he keeps on trying to make it happening with all the artists. He still looks ravishing and can carry a whole movie on his own but he was not given the backup of a good script. The next best thing in the movie is Rajiv Kanekala & Moha Chopra, but they also have their limited scenes. The talented Ghazal Shrinivas is just wasted. The viewer never gets convinced or feels entertained while watching the movie. The writing is not upto the mark and almost all the scenes are weakly written which simply fail to impress. The only scene which i liked was the chase scenes in the first half.   The movie has the weakest start as Richard is straight away introduced in the first scene and that also in the first scene. The climax "I Know What You Did Last Summer" concert is well executed but the melody required is not there.   The movie has a good feel but you dont get entertained which is a must for a good film. . Ratings : 2 / 5 (with special mention of Richard's spirited performance)
