Movie Review-Athidhi

Dec 24, 2007 14:00

Red and I got roped into watching Athidhi last Saturday. And 2 minutes into the movie, Elizabeth Barrett Browning crept into my mind-with a twist..."How do I loathe thee?Let me count the ways."

The movie was pathetic to say the least! Mahesh Babu has a weird pitch to his voice and his acting skills are yet to kick in.

Amrita Rao deserved to be slapped upside her tiny head for acting in this movie. SHE HAD NO ROLE to speak of. 
She cried, clung and then spoke in a ghostly tone, reminiscent of the House of Ramseys.

Ashish Vidyarthi has fallen on bad days indeed, when he will take up a role which has him in dreadlocks and in need of a orthodontist urgently! He hissed, he spit, he shook his manes trying to summon up the forces of evil and all for naught.

The villian Kaiser (Murali Sharma), clearly in a Janus-like role, clings onto the hype that in order to play a psychopath one must laugh uproarious when being evil and have nervous muscular tics... DSM time people!!

Mahesh Babu may have had chocolatey good looks but now chubby cheeks rule the roost and a head of hair that made me itch to get my shears.

The songs are boring, the dance sequences are dull and unimaginative and the lead pair dance like they have fireants climbing up their legs.

The worst part of the movie? Malaika Arora. Who in the world asked that woman to prance around and jiggle her protruding booty like a 2-bit hooker?

Opinion- Give it a miss. It's 2 thumbs down and more!
