Good dancer, great flexible body with all the right curves in all the right places: why not make a whole film out of it?This is a POOR excuse for a film: a weak plot, appalling acting, scarce dialogue and even the dancing is not exceptional. All these MINOR considerations set the stage for the true purpose of the film: the female body. Not in a good way, but in a filthy way you can imagine a perverted old man enjoying (just like the one in the film ironically).The whole film is a collection of agonizingly slow sequences of dance, that clearly emphasize the BREASTS, which are either plainly on view, or at the centre of the screen or shown through skin-tight extremely short tops. The LEGS also have ample screen presence in all their various positions: open, closed, stretched, bent, crossed,...the film was long enough to try all the possible combinations.Sadly, the actress had no facial expression, but she made made up for it with her body talk, which I'm sure most men appreciated.The film went even further by accentuating the genital area with either the conveniently designed costumes or the strategic placing of hands. At one point there were also explicit body movements and the dancer reaching a climax...and that was the ONLY CLIMAX present in the film!You can easily go to sleep and not miss a thing, but don't worry, at any given moment you'll be guaranteed to see breasts and legs on display! Enjoy!NOTE: If the film was a tribute to innovative dancing and against the commercial film industry, it failed miserably. If this is the case it's EXTREMELY ironic, because it delivered spot on to a mass public, eager to see a poorly covered girl. If on the other hand it wasn't, then it was just an excuse to expose some flesh.
Not much to say about Naach. It is an endearing story of two strangers who meet each other and learn to know each other through the art of dance. The film is beautifully shot, and the making is inspiring and intelligent. Abhishek and Antara give spirited, restrained and realistic portrayals. The film however is very slow and the development of the story is a bit stretched and long. It doesn't make the film uninteresting, but it significantly reduces its level of appeal and creates some disturbing aspect to it. Nonetheless, Naach is a quality film that perfectly gives expression to the talent and the unique style of Ram Gopal Varma, and it should not be missed. Go for it!
In spite of all its drawbacks Naach is a pretty good movie. The story is interesting, the characters are unusual, the songs and choreography too try to do something different. Abhishek Bachchan acts very well. Antara Mali is not bad when she is doing the serious, unsmiling scenes but the one emotional scene by her is rather ghastly. Her utter lack of makeup is very nice though. The songs and dances even though a bit weird, are acceptable as different. What pulls them down are the minimalist costumes, which consist of strange Jurassic feathers and wings and scraps of chiffon. The story is about Reva who wants to achieve her goals but on her own terms and Abhi who will do whatever it takes to achieve his. They become a couple but of course their ideologies had to clash at some point.
Abhishek Bachchan annoyed me with his turn in this film. Thank God for Antara Mali who plays the other lead, I would have puked or something. I loved the premise of the film because it revolved around dance (hence the title 'Naach' which means "Dance" in Hindi) which I absolutely love and Miss Mali danced her tush off in this one! But, there just has to be a but and it comes by way of ABHISHEK BACHCHAN!!! He just acted like a spoiled-brat-out-to-get-some-action when he spots Mali's sexy (a great dancer who aspires to work and bring something new to the Bollywood dancing scene) character. She is a newbie in town who defied what her family had lined up for her, to come to Mumbai in search of her own dream. He is an out-of-work youth who is also defying his parents by going after his own dreams.While Ram Gopal Varma handles their attraction and love scenes very well, it was impossible to mask Jr. B's pouting and sulking. He falls in love with the girl, she teaches him how to dance and how to get in touch with his inner self, and when he becomes a big star, he expects her to just submit to his charms and forget about her own dreams. Mali's character doesn't mind the ultimatum, in fact, she sticks it to the ultimatum he gives her and she actually walks away. Sooner (than later) she is spotted by a new chassis (played by the charming Ritesh Deshmukh starring a Bollywood director) and a relationship is instantly implied. Once Jr. B sees this in the papers and shoots, his spoilt rich star self (which I'm sure is not very far from the man he is in real life) starts to act crazy, sulk more and ultimately demand that he gets the girl in the end. And ultimately in the end, he does.
