Ankahee

This movie is not at all convincing.. How can a reputed surgeon - who is a loving husband and a doting father - can fall in love with a patient with manic depression? He should have treated her as his patient and tried to help her out of her psychological disorder. Even his fellow psychiatrist friend warns him about her.. In spite of all this he falls in love with her and divorces his loving wife and leaves her and his daughter whom he loves very much... Very much unconvincing... Acting wise Aftab Shivadasani is as unconvincing as his role..Ameesha Patel is OK.. There is not much scope for her in this movie. Only Esha Deol is the saving grace. She has portrayed her role as a manic depressed beauty queen very convincingly.. Hrishita Bhatt is wasted in a miniscule role..

Story- weak/ poor/ typical Screenplay- weaker/usual Performance- poor/pioneer/fake Music- Amazing Music wasted in such a movie Dialogue- usual/poor/typical dramatic Direction- weaker/ half left/ unexplained/ Oblogatively made complected.

Descriptions- Direction could be a bit smarter, Things are forcefully made complecated which could have been handled smoothly at certain places in story. Nothing new in story, some overacting ruins the charm, Voice over dubbing of main lead is the worst part of the movie giving a bad impression right from the start. ONLY STABLE PERFORMANCE SEEN BY ESHA DEOL THAT TOO FOR THE OTHERS WHO HAVE RUINED THEIR PARTS.

It has to be Vikram Bhatt's best film, Aftab's & Esha's acting was excellent. I felt really sorry for Esha although she was dangerous & obsessive especially when she was crying in the hospital. The story is about Aftab who is a doctor and is happy with his married life with Amista Patel but unfortunately an actress & miss world came into his hospital after a failed suicide attempt. Aftab was taking care of her and told the media "It was just an accident". Eventually they both fell in love with each other and that's where they all start to have major problems. The film contains every emotion, its low budget and music is very heartfelt.

Well the movie seemed boring and dragged at times but it sure is not a total disappointment. I am not proud to say but I was stunned by Esha Deol's work in the movie. She is sure to be nominated for the best actress in negative role award for this year and if I was to decide, ill even give her one. Aftab and Amisha were also not as bad as they usually are. There are few good scenes in the movie and some powerful dialogues make up for the rest of the score I have given the movie. I would agree that it is not that great a movie but it definitely is under-rated. I would recommend watching the movie at least once if u do have the time. Obviously it is not a 'watch again' movie and maybe for some of you, not even worth watching in the cinema halls either, but renting it's VCD on a Saturday afternoon is surely not a bad idea.

Ankahee is a simple story about infidelity revolving a beauty queen ,a doctor and a house wife.

Vikram Bhatt undoubtedly proved that he can make sensitive films that can be appreciated by viewers that go for more than just dumb entertainment in a film.

Esha Deol truly shines in the film.She definitely deserves at least an award for her exceptional performance in the film.She manages to create so much of hatred but also pity from the audience.She brigthens up every scene she is in.

Aftab also is commendable in the film.

Amisha Patel shocks you with a composed but striking performance as the vulnerable housewife.

The music by Pritam and the lyrics are just wonderful!!! This films are one of those films that do not get much appreciation that it deserves.

On the whole,Ankahee is a film that should be watched only by people who can appreciate sensitivity and realism in films.
