I always thought that there are some fixed patterns in making films...This one typically is the underdogs turn winners category.
Its a simple story of six good-for-nothing people coming into conditional riches at the hands of an eccentric millionaire. The conditional riches is a textile industry with enormous assets and even more liabilities. Its up to the six under-dogs to convert the losses to profits. Obviously, they manage to do it!!
The very important element of this category of movies is the struggle from negativity and demotivation to optimism and perseverance. External romance ruins such movies. The only romance which could have withstood the film was the one between aftab and kim sharma...which is prematurely terminated. How Govinda and Aftab fall in love is a real suspense...I still don't know the answer.
When there are six underdogs, their story of losses should be concise and their fight towards victory should be elaborate...even after interval, for a long time, u don't even know that they are underdogs.
Motivation!!! Audience should feel the motivation from within, in each member of the team. The only people who are motivated from the six leads are Govinda and Celina. Rest all just look like the yes-men. Manoj Bajpai!! Immense talent wasted in a role which for all practical purposes might be a guest appearance.
They seem to have started with making of a Scary movie (spoof) and suddenly remembered that this was to be Guru(Story of real life).
I started with negatives because I am feeling angry with the script-writer for wasting a good central idea, director for putting in useless songs, editor for mis-judging the importance of the scenes, Govinda, Aftab, Manoj and Celina...for wasting the talent....
There are some positives...4 stars out of the six I have given go for the climax. In the movie, celina says that beauty is skin-deep, style is what makes a person stand straight...and they really put on ramp the people who are not exceptionally hot...and they DO look good...It honestly features short people, fat people, not-so-good-looking people and get away with it...Shruti really dresses them up and does a make-over which does not look impossible...and does look like a winner...
Fifth star is for govinda. He is good. He gives life to the Movie.
Last star is for manoj, aftab and celina. They look good.
Hansika entertains, but u cannot watch this movie for her. Ditto Upen.
What could have been better??? 1. The team had an advertising genius. They should have used him. 2. The team had a wonderful PR person. He should have participated in campaigning. The winning of fashion show bid, could be more dramatic. The winning of the bank employee...too thin. Both the scenes had great potential. It was wasted (due to time constraint, I suspect.) 3. The team had a guy with dreams. He should have built his dreams. They show him learn lessons from past. He should have used them. 4. A television star. She could have been a part of advertising campaign. 5. The audience is told in 15 seconds that the model and dress designer would make ordinary people a ramp material. (I have no clue why would a famous television personality play no part in it). The struggle should have been evident. It feels unrealistic that people with no extra-ordinary talent get on the ramp and have the attitude and élan in 5 minutes flat...
Govinda fans say that watch govinda movies by leaving the brain outside the theater. I watched MHTHH like that. I had fun. But my takeaway could have been better...
