Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

The less said about Anubhav Sinha's Cash, the better. No I am not being harsh but the movie has been unanimously been blasted by the critics and the audience. Rajeev Masand also shred the movie to pieces and here are some excerpts form his review.

Review:
Okay, I've got a question for you - what happens when a bad film does well? The answer to that is, more bad films get made. This week's new release Cash is a perfect example of the point I'm trying to make.

If director Anubhav Sinha's last film, the very idiotic Dus hadn't turned out to be a hit, he wouldn't have been inspired to make another film on similar lines.

Now Cash is a heist film, but it's made with zero intelligence and no skill whatsoever on the part of every single person who's worked on it, barring perhaps the action director who's designed some cool stunts.

Don't even ask me to comment on the screenplay of this film, it's got so many holes it would resemble a fishing net. The director's focus is clearly on the look of the film, giving it a slick, racy feel, even merging live action scenes with Japanese animation or manga.

I'll go with one out of five and a thumbs down for director Anubhav Sinha's Cash, the one star strictly for the film's superior technical values. It's a mind-numbing experience that you don't deserve to subject yourself to. This Cash left me with a very unpleasant rash.
