At First Sight



At First Sight is a movie that's different simply because it tells a true story that doesn't fail the surprise you. The movie does tell a different story but it misses to present the story with a certain degree of depth. The dialogues and the depiction is very shallow. The movie could have been better with the kind of story that it has.

The film also drags during the later half and by then you may have lost interest in the story and even the hard hitting scenes might just not hit you.

Conclusion. At First Sight could've been a better a movie.

Also, Val Kilmer is really commendable in his role.

My Rating- 2/5

Since I've been watching a lot of old movies, I just thought of randomly watching this Aamir Khan starrer from the 90s.

I'm an Aamir Khan fan but I won't say that this is his best performance. The movie as a whole is actually a good story but it lags in the screenplay which doesn't compliment the concept. Aamir Khan has a strong character and a few applaud-able dialogue sequences. Actor Mukesh Rishi also has a commendable role in the movie.

The movie bagged a Filmfare in the best film critics category. Which may be because the subject of the movie was based on the much hyped Indo-Pak disturbance.

The story of the movie is surely commendable but the screenplay is a tad bit random at certain instances and could be notch higher. Just by opinion though.

Nonetheless, Cheers to the good old Sizzling Sonali Bendre, Jagjit Singh's "Hoshwalon ko Khabar Kya" and the phenomenal perfectionist Mr. Aamir Khan who was on a course of self-progression during those days.

My Rating- 2/5
