Deewangee

It seems like we have no writers who can come up with a original story or the original movie is such a hit it makes sense to copy it, I hear Ankhen story is bought by Hollywood-the criss cross is going to happen as long it happens with a

artistic touch instead of a blind copy of the original. Irrespective of that there is a Desi angle to the version which comes with its own patented dance numbers which the Hollywood crowd are just beggining to take notice. Dewangee is yet anouther such venture. The story of an obssesed and indestructable romantic who goes to great lenths to get his girl, this is not a villain since this would have been easy he had to just let the hero's car go down hill without brakes since Bollywood hero's are used to accelaration going downhill. But the Villain her is childhood sweet heart who lies, cajoles, dupes, bargains and uses alias personality-still is let go by his girl in a climax-as a requisite in Hindi films is done in a dark loaded wearhouse in this instance a lighthouse-ofcourse without the flashbacks she would have not let go his oldboyfriend and this would have conveniently given rise to a sequel. But he is let go to only appear singing a haunting tune on that the Hero dismisses as "lot of people can sing this song-or something to that effect" which will relax the heroine so they can live happily everafter.

Ajay Devgan, he fills the charecter like a glove, but I donot understand the type of violence that was metered out the secretary, this might have been the case in the original film but this is too crude for an Indian audience. This is probably his best role so far.

Akshay Khanna, is a subtle gestures and looks that does justice to the part but wry smiles at the wrong places just takes away the intensity of his emotions and hatred towards the "probono- client" that double crossed him (this is lesson not to trust probono clients)Urmilla Matondkar does not have the reserve talent to emote, she is just one of the cute faces to cause a rift between two men which she does well.

The thing interesting with this movie inspite of the lenth it gripping.
