| Reply 1 : Story: Khushi has a dream of making it big in Bollywood. So what if she is a high profile sex worker....
Movie Review: Forget better late than never. Sometimes it's better never than late. That's precisely the case with this Bollywood film which should have never made it to the screens. Overtime has been caught in a time wrap for quite some time - its release has been postponed for days, weeks and even months. But then that's not the reason why this one looks all stale. Topicality is no issue here - casting couch, women exploitation.... There is a bigger problem. The story is missing. The acting is missing. The continuity of scene is missing. The clothes (skimpily clad girls) are missing. The only thing that's there in aplenty are the songs, a huge cast, the 'c' word...
In the meantime you are left wondering what is so overtime about Overtime? Well, it's newcomer Swati Sharma (as Khushi) getting all men - a corrupt politician, Aatre ( Satish Kaushik), a builder, Huda ( Yashpal Sharma), an architect Rajeev ( Zakir Hussain), a film co-ordinator Shankar (Vijay Raj) - to bed her (read do overtime) at a cost of Rs 20k.
Now we surely don't have all that over... and extra time to see yet another movie based on the mera sundar sapna tut gaya theme. |
