Starfish review :

Based on Bina Nayak's book Starfish Pickle, this two hours long movie turns out to be a royal bore. Beware guys as it can genuinely lull even insomniacs in to a deep snore...sorry to say but Starfish goes astray despite quite a few positives up its sleeve.

Like the exotic locales of Malta and Sicily (Italy) which are beautifully captured here! The underwater sequences are also wonderfully shot which reminded me of one more Bollywood biggie called Blue (2009). Unfortunately just like Blue, Starfish rests on a wafer thin plot which just doesn't go anywhere. After all, how many times can you watch the voluptuous Khushalii Kumar drinking like a fish, doing drugs and partying hard like there's no tomorrow. Glug glug!!

Khushalii Kumar was impressive in last years Dhokha Round D Corner and in Starfish too, she displays adequate acting chops coupled with her abundant sex appeal quite effectively. Kudos to that!!

I was actually expecting some hot chemistry between the macho Milind Soman and Khushalii but just as they come close to kiss, the director shifts focus away from them. Oooff, that's sacrilege!! As for those two (supposed) hunky heroes who get lucky with the leading lady, the less said the better!!

To sum up, Khushalii soars but Starfish drowns...

A parfum advertisement has more coherence that this film. It is like "mexican soap opera meets Bollywood". Countless continuity errors, stereotypical music, poor performances, in a display of exuberance and lavish locations. On the bright side, it can serve very well as a travel advertisement of Malta and southern Italy. If you are the type of person that can't sleep without some white noise or something in the background, this movie is perfect for you. Otherwise, don't bother.

As I have nothing else to say about this movie, I will write this final sentence to fill the gap in this review. Bye.

Waste of resources and waste of time. If you have so much money, kindly give it to me. I'll make a better film than this. It's a migraine. No story, no talent with 10% potential. The director has made a mess. It looks like they've gone on a holiday and made this film. Watch if you want to waste your time. T-Series has produced this film, and there's not even one good song in the entire movie. At least for your family members (Khushhali Kumar), kindly make a good film and get a good composer next time. Khushhali Kumar's acting is very bad. Limited star cast, and they all are bad. It looks like black money; they wanted to turn it white, so they made this garbage called "Starfish."

Starfish," directed by Akhilesh Jaiswal and adapted from Bina Nayak's novel "Starfish Pickle," embarks on a narrative journey that, unfortunately, encounters turbulent waters. The film introduces us to Tara, portrayed by Khushalii Kumar, a diver entangled in the undertow of her past. Despite a promising start, the cinematic voyage is hindered by a choppy narrative, impulsive editing, and a screenplay that lacks finesse.

The initial chapters offer a glimpse into Tara's world, but impulsive edits disrupt the flow, hindering the audience's immersion. The film grapples with a momentary dip in engagement, struggling against a cinematic tide that refuses to be tamed. While Jim Edgar's cinematography captures stunning underwater scenes, it becomes a victim of the film's impulsive editing, overshadowing its potential impact.

Set against the enchanting backdrop of Malta, Tara's life as a diver and her struggle with PTSD are hindered by a screenplay that meanders lazily through thematic depths. Conflicts between moving on and confronting past wounds feel diluted, failing to leave a lasting impact. Relationships with Aman (Tushar Khanna) and Neel (Ehan Bhat) suffer from predictability, lacking the emotional depth intended.

Despite Khushalii Kumar's commendable performance, the film struggles to rise above its challenges. The attempt to deliver a compelling exploration of human emotions is marred by a choppy narrative and a screenplay that misses opportunities. While Jim Edgar's cinematography shines, it becomes a victim of the film's lack of cohesion.

In conclusion, "Starfish" falters in its attempt to provide a seamless and immersive cinematic experience. The film's untamed currents, represented by its choppy narrative and impulsive editing, may leave audiences grappling with cinematic confusion. Unfortunately, the lack of interest-inducing elements categorizes "Starfish" as a waste of time, failing to make the overall viewing experience compelling or worthwhile.
