Sunday (2008)

Very well executed

Lack of good storyline.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

When i first saw the trailer i was man this looks so stupid. Then after it was released my dad was like lets go watch it. And i agreed. Best thing i did that day. I actually went to see the film on a Sunday and i was impressed. What looked like stupidity in the trailers was actually pure comedy and the story was very unusual and bizarre which i liked because this film didn't just copy something but actually made it good. I don't think the idea is completely original but still its pretty good. I liked Ayesha Takias acting. She shows her emotions well and Ajay Devgan was a bit annoying after a while when constantly eating ice cream and that. The songs were good especially Manzil and Kash ye Kash hai and it was obvious that the director wanted to show off his cool camera tricks that he had learnt and it was done a bit over the top but overall the acting throughout was good and so was the story. Arshad and Irfan were truly hilarious and i was a bit worried this was going to turn into some weird film when the rape drug was mentioned, then it was OK after the explanation so i was like phew! I liked the theme tune lol when the action starts and you can hear Sunday being repeated in the background. Definitely worth the watch....you don't want to miss this Sunday

My Sunday was well spent watching this movie. For the first time, a gripping show of comedy, brilliant suspense, and of course a good and unique storyline. Rohit Shetty proves that even he exists in the filming world! Not literally, but metaphorically speaking... The soundtrack is also good, lets say 7.5/10. This movie will have you gripped till the last frame. Ajay Devgan suits almost everywhere - tragedy, comedy or action. He proves it in Halla Bol and now Sunday. Ayesha Takia is brilliant, perhaps in my eyes her first good performance. Arshad Warsi as usual flawlessly impresses you. The screenplay is good, cinematography flawless, and editing brilliant! All in all, to put it in a nutshell, a brilliant take for 60 bucks, and i mean BRILLIANT! Don't miss the chance next Sunday and get your ticket, and run for it! Its not many times you get such a show... You know what I mean.

Billed as a suspense-comic thriller, this one's a ho-hum in more ways than one. Rohit Golmaal Shetty just couldn't decide what he wanted out of his otherwise-talented cast, he messes up the recipe and throws the whole kitchen sink at you. The problem: the sink stinks.Devgan has to act a cool cop: so he licks ice cream all day. Warsi and Irrfan Khan drive around Delhi in a red car, which you are never likely to see in Delhi. Ayesha, who starts well, looks puffed up and lost in the bizarre plot, which is set in Delhi but you'd excused to think that the action was taking place in a one-car town with a population of 40.The suspense and the thriller elements are duds; some comic scenes however lighten up the proceeds. Shetty cant handle the romance between an ageing Devgan and a fresh but puffy Ayesha; the songs are dull and their filming moron. Makes you wait for the bits when Warsi appears, because he has the funniest lines, and Irrfan who feeds off his cues. These two make a good comic team who try hard to carry off the film to some extent.Shetty tries to put in too many items in the movie: from chases in a crowded Chandni Chowk to a gang of thugs led by a cartoon-voiced fellow to a Vrajesh Hirjee, a Karate expert speaking in a Malayalee accent without rhyme or reason. What actually happens to Ayesha is so prosaic, its not worth the effort of making a whole film about! The cinematography by Aseem Bajaj is good, especially his filming of famous landmarks in Delhi. The digital fusion of various scenes has been seamlessly carried out. Music is noisy, the background score is shrieky.Ajay Devgan looks listless trying to be cool, Ayesha Takia opens confidently in a well-crafted sequence of dubbing for an animation flick but loses vapour immediately thereafter. It is left to the highly talented due of Arshad Warsi and Irrfan Khan to provide some relief in the banal proceedings.There has been no movie last week, there is none next. Yet this movie played to empty seats on a Saturday.

Sunday : In a straight review Sunday is not what you expect after seeing the promising promos. It's a mixture of thriller and comedy sequences. Whereas the comedy sequences are highly enjoyable, there is no thrill in the suspense and murder mystery element of the script. The film is said to be a remake of a HIT Telugu film ANUKOKUNDA OKA ROJU [2005]. The Telugu original must be more enjoyable fare as it was a big hit but the Hindi version lacks the right punch needed for a blockbuster. In fact director Rohit Shetty seems confused in whether to make a comedy film or a fast paced thriller. Many plots and characters are deliberately inserted, which are clearly spotted by a average film-goer too. For instance : 1. Ajay Devgan's character of a ice cream eating cop is the most unimpressive one. He just plays the role and doesn't seem to be interested in the movie at all. 2. The murder mystery has no surprise element in it as some unknown character just enters the climax as the main culprit. 3. The most disappointing thing is that Irfan Khan, an actor of endless capabilities has got no definite role and he is just included in the movie to add to its project value. He has no involvement in the script and is just wasted as a comedy character. However it is his own brilliance that he again comes up as the best thing in the movie with his excellent comic timing. 4. Even Arshad Warsi, is not given the mileage he needed and he is also just another character in the script. 5. The action sequences on the actual locations of Chandni Chowk, Delhi and the item number of "Esha Deol" are clearly added as the last moment insertions. The director could have easily avoided them. 6. Ayesha Takia working as Cartoon Dubbing artist is given unwanted footage. She just acts in the movie as a routine work. The script surely has a new concept, but is not handled in a promising manner. Music is also below average.. The only enjoyable moments in the movie are the scenes with Arshad Warsi & Irfan Khan. They both are highly entertaining together and the viewer keeps waiting for them to come on screen again. In all, Sunday is certainly not a good thriller movie but can only be seen once for the comedy by the talented pair – Arshad Warsi & Irfan Khan.
