A new offering from Bhatt camp,Mr. X runs on the same formula as previous films of this camp.
An invisible hero who is a vigilante,An actress who does everything to capture the hero because she loves her duty more than anything,some lip-locks,A few romantic tracks and a decrepit and weak storyline,all sums up to make a film which is below the moderate mark.The main problem lies in the writing which is terrible.The plot is stale and pathetic.The screenplay is very slow and exasperating.The sluggish narration is another big drawback.The movie is full of unnecessary and foolish scenes which are too aggravating and makes you to yawn.The basic premise is good but is presented in such a absurd and ridiculous manner that the film seems like a preposterous mishmash of Mr.India and various vigilante films.Some scenes of the movie seems bizarre and comical.The situations created in the movie are ludicrous and risible.The ending is open and a gate for sequel has been left open(Oh god......plz save us).
Emraan hashmi is a good actor and this time again he plays her role nicely.He has played such type of roles many times and he fits nicely in his role.Although in some scenes he becomes dismayed and uneasy.Amyra is terribly bad and vexatious.He is extremely weak in acting.Arunodaya is decent.
Vikram bhatt's direction is neither good nor bad.Dialogues of the movie are plain and sometimes afflicting too.The film needs a serious editing and can be trimmed down by almost 30 minutes.Music is repetitive and bad.Only title track is audible.Visuals are good.
Mr. X is an attempt to create a Desi sci- fi thriller.The attempt is genuine,noble and praiseworthy but its outcome is not good enough.The main problem of the film is its paper- thin plot.If you are a fan of Emraan or Bhatt camp then you might find it good.Otherwise wait for its DVD to come out and save your hard earned bucks. 4.2 out of 10 is too much.
