Kidnap (2008)
1/10
Recipe of a disaster film
13 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Sanjay Gadhvi after making Tere Liye got another chance with Yashraj films with the moderate success of MYKSH which was a remake of My Best Friend's Wedding, but he got success after directing Dhoom and Dhoom 2 and then he left Yashraj and made Kidnap. The film was in news as it was Imran Khan's second film after JTYJN and Sanjay's comeback film after his jail term in 2007. The film is a comedy of errors, gone all wrong. To Start with:The story s so stupid it makes you cringe. The ease at which Imran kidnaps and the cat and mouse game is very childish, The film is filled with stupidity like Imran kidnapping Minisha underwater by making her unconscious when she has hardly worn anything but reaches the place fully clothed, Also the wardrobe changes by Minisha are hard to digest, the scene that takes the cake is Minisha wants a bath so Imran our darling kidnapper takes her to a sea and there is a song There are lot more, like Sanjay conveniently getting a bike to reach a train, Also the shootout at the disco towards the climax and climax.

Direction is bad Music is bad, too many songs spoil the show

Sanjay Dutt looks jaded and disinterested, plus his weight put on makes him look older and bored Imran Khan is hilarious, he doesn't look a kidnapper, also his accent is a put off for the role. Minisha Lamba hardly looks 16 and is okay, Vidya is a miscast as Sanju's wife and Minisha's mom, Reema Lagoo is as usual Rahul Dev has a brief role rest are okay.
