For starters, someone ought to tell director Manoj Agarwal that shooting more than half your film at picturesque locales across Europe doesn8217;t necessarily mean you8217;ve made a great movie. This second offering from the filmmaker who a few years ago gave us Pardesi Babu is nothing more than just a bunch of laughable moments strung together. Probably the biggest fault that Hadh Kar Di Aapne suffers from, is a weak story. The tale of a man who assumes the cloak of a detective for his friend, and agrees to stalk his friend8217;s wife across Europe to find out if she8217;s cheating behind his friend8217;s back, the movie is entirely unoriginal. The few novel moments in the film are illogical.

Gang

What do you say about a movie that has taken over a decade in the making? Nothing much, naturally. Barring a well-shot, peppy number featuring Juhi Chawla the Dole number by Anu Malik, there is little else in the movie hat has been recently shot. As a result, even a handful of interesting bits in the film go mostly unappreciated. There is little to talk about as far as the film8217;s story is concerned. It8217;s the tale of four buddies: Gangu Jackie Shroff, Abdul Nana Patekar, Nihal Kumar Gaurav and Gary Javed Jaffrey who come together to earn a living. Such others as Mukesh Khanna and Gulshan Grover only add to the general confusion. There is far too much violence in Gang and most of it seems pointless. Preaching the age-old fact that crime never pays, there is little else that the film manages to convey. Perhaps if completed and released in time, the movie might have attracted audiences. But with poor performances from almost everyone involved, there is little to recommend here.
