Musafir

Musafir is a glamorized underworld movie that in summary is simply a waste of time.

It tries to sell on the lewd dances and pseudo-sex scenes, but even there it fails.

If I have to watch a soft porn I will flip on Cinemax but this mindless 150 minute fare is best avoided since there are no other strengths in the flick.

What a waste of time, money and resources. A bunch of washed up actors and desperate actresses thinking they will feed of the uneducated and Riksha Wala Indian audience. Embarrassing stuff coming out of Bollywood !! Boom

i don't understand how some people criticized this movie..I've seen U-turn last year and b4 i started watching this bollywood fare i had imagined that this must be another crap 4m bollywood...But it really surprised me..Sanjay dutt again lend his unique style to the movie and the flashbak version told by Manjrekar and Sameera had me wondering whats going on...only to realise both of them had their own versions of storytelling...that was uNique!! i watch a lot of Hollywood movies and i always make fun f bollywood movies but this one shut me up!!! every time my step kids picks up a knife they do the Tej Dhaar action...They just love Sanjay dutt..Imagine they don't even know /understand Hindi and they loved this film so much .. That must tell something to those who criticize!!so SHUT UP AND ENJOY ..

I am no critic. I watch movies just to have a good time. I don't get paid to criticize or praise a movie. I will not praise a movie just because it has one of my favorite actors, Sanjay Dutt. Sanjay Dutt is one of the top five actors in India on my list ( Others are Naseeruddin Shah, Amir Khan, Irfan and Om Puri). But its sad to see him doing movies like Rudraksh, Plan, Kaante and all these new formula movies. The only purpose of these new movies is to make the viewers believe we are getting closer to Hollywood but in reality we are giving up our originality and wasting talents like Sanjay Dutt with movies like Musafir. Cleavages, Guns, Leather, Silver, Gold, Drugs can look good in a movie if the movies actually has a storyline, a theme, a SCRIPT! Musafir is nothing but a Suzuki engine inside the body of a Lamborghini. Its all looks but no torque. If you liked Kaante then you will probably like this movie because both those movies have something in common, they're both "kool" but have no substance.

Saw this movie a few hrs ago. And i must say its not the worst movie ever, but at points its really bad.

Its a remake of Hollywood movie U-turn and Bollywood kindda ruined this version. Sanjay dutt was cool, and all that, but the flippin knife all the time gets annoying after a while.

They focused to much on style and less on doing a good job.

Male actors did Well. Females was plain bad, the Dark main Girl looked hot but nothing more, the ending was as expected and it was even worse when the bad guy just takes off, and not claiming what he came for all along.

I remember the songs even tho i didnt Watch the movie back then.

Bollywood never gets a Hollywood remake right.

Bearing a "resemblance" (or shall we say "inspiration" ?) with the Hollywood thriller "U-Turn", Musafir is a good entertainer. With veterans Sanju Baba and Anil Kapoor, one wouldn't expect any less.

Lucky(Anil Kapoor) is a conman, thief, small-time gangster all rolled into one, having had a orphaned and destitute childhood. He dreams to have a peaceful life and takes all short-cuts to achieve that. One fine morning he wakes up to find that his last con-job went against Billa(Sanju baba), a feared, knife-swinging Mafia Don who would stop at nothing to get his job done. Now, with his partners killed, he has to save himself by carrying out a drug-deal for Billa, in Goa. When he goes to Goa, he is torn between a couple who want to get each other killed and try to use him as the instrument. To rub more salt in his wounds, he accidentally crosses paths with Tiger(Aditya Pancholi) a corrupt, encounter-specialist cop. Throughout the movie, Anil Kapoor's expressions are enough to show his inner feelings.

Sanjay Dutt's mafia-Don image seems to have stuck to him, right from "Vaastav" and "Kaante", but then he carries it so well that it seems nothing less than natural. Anil Kapoor does perfect justice to the character of Lucky, who is smart and rarely loses his cool. Sameera Reddy fails to deliver; I guess she is in it just for the skin-show. I don't know what Shakti Kapoor is doing in this movie ! Mahesh Manjrekar's psycho-type acting is quite good but it seems to be getting stereotyped, these days (remember Kaante and Plan ?) Overall, it doesn't stand-up to the standards of "U-Turn" but a movie worth watching, if U don't have anything else to do. For all Anil Kapoor and Sanju baba's fans, its a treat. The Saki-Saki and Ishq Kariyo Na numbers are simply awesome !
