Right ya Wrong - Review


Yes, I did actually see this film.
Yes, It does have a Sunny Deol dance number.
Yes, I will review it.
No, you will NOT watch it !!!!
Right ya Wrong is a movie meant for those searching for a mind-numbing experience.

Lets roll back to the 90's:
Villain has 5 looser goons with him. He's got a moll on one arm. He's gonna get thrashed by the good guys. That's how the film begins, with cops Ajay Singh(Sunny) & Vinay Pathak(Irrfan) leading the way to capture our bad man(Aryan Vaid). They succeed, but in the bargain Ajay gets a shot to the spine & gets paralyzed the waist below.
His Mrs(Isha Kopikkar) is meanwhile having a steamy affair with his own cousin. Frustrated with his life, Ajay tells his wife and bro to put him out of his misery. He also has a 5Cr insurance(yeah hes a cop + he lives in a sprawling mansion). After setting it all up, they shoot him but surprise surprise. When the cops arrive, the Mrs & the brother are dead & Ajay alive !!!
Vinay smells foul play, wondering Who did it? Why? and How?
These questions are answered in the 2.5 hr fiasco.

Lets get to the juicy bit, the classic moments of the film:
1. Sunny Deol screaming WHYYYYYY, 6 times, in an intense scene.
2. Sunny's no-gooder bro, who doesn't do any work, telling Isha.K, "babes, wait till you see my Manhattan apartment"
3. A courtroom where knives are allowed as bookmarks !!!

To be fair, the story is interesting. A lot could have been done with the plot, which has an intelligent element to it. Alas, this one doesn't do justice. The background score too, by Monty is good. The music though, a downer.
The camera has a life of it's own. Ravi Walias cinematography does too much for it to be an enjoyable experience.

The performances. Irrfan Khan is clearly the pick of the lot. He is effortless & a natural. The movie doesn't do justice to his talent. Sunny Deol moves between acting and hamming in parts. Isha Kopikkar, looking sexy, displays her worst acting skills to date. One wonders why Konkana would do such a role as hers. Govind Namdeo is at his dramatic best. The actor playing Sunnys brother cracks you up with every line he speaks.(He is not supposed to be funny).

Director Neeraj Pathak pens a good plot but a shoddy screenplay. The film itself is not exciting enough, except for certain parts.

To sum it up, this movie is meant for those who have won free tickets. Go inside, laugh at the madness and you would enjoy it. At he box office, I see no activity.

For those who read this review not knowing what this film is, Thanks. Its more fun than the film itself.

Rating: 1.5/5
