kidnap,the movie,film review

From Sanjay Gadhvi, the master director of mega blockbusters like Dhoom and Dhoom: 2, Kidnap is a high octane edge of the seat drama about a power tussle between a young boy and the father of the girl he kidnaps. Sonia (Minissha Lamba) lives with her mother, Mallika (Vidya Malvade) and grandmother because her parents divorced when she was ten. A week before her eighteenth birthday celebration, she gets kidnapped. The abductor, Kabir (Imran Khan) is interested in speaking only to her father, Vikrant Raina (Sanjay Dutt), an affluent New York based Indian businessman, with whom he has an old score to settle. Vikrant returns to India to retrieve his daughter from Kabir`s clutches but has to carry out a series of daunting tasks set out by Kabir as a condition to rescue her. At the end of each task is a clue that helps Vikrant in coming closer to Sonia. But this mission is not as easy as it seems. How far will a father go to save his daughter? What redemption is there for Kabir at the end? Sanjay Dutt`s first release of 2008, co starring the latest teen sensation, Imran Khan, Kidnap makes for compelling viewing as the big festival release on Eid.

Reachout's Comments: Like 'Drona' Kidnap has also been one of the most eagarly awaited movies of recent times especially to see Imraan Khan after his superlative performance in 'Jane Tu...'.And finally what a let down it was to see this movie.The film infact kidnaps the audience to a different level and it was a real torture to sit through the film.The only saving grace of the movie is Minissha Lamba who for sure drops quite a lot of onlookers!! Looks like age is catching up on Sanjay Dutt.Most of his chase scenes are done by dupes while Imraan Khan shines in bits in pieces.Imraan Khans transmission to serious role is a complete letdown for his fans.
