Different. Review on Abhay - Bollywood

What happens when an exceptionally talented actor develops an inexplicable urge to delve into the dark side of the human psyche, and worse, decides to paint the town red about it? Well, for one, you get a film called Abhay .With the vision that hindsight provides, I wouldn't be far off target if, in a rare bout of self-pity, I describe myself as being the real Abhay for having sat through the almost three-hour-long film. For someone who has grown up deifying Kamal Haasan's histrionic talents, whether as the simpleton in Moonram Pirai (dubbed as Sadma in Hindi), as the do-gooder godfather in Nayakan, or as the mentally challenged Guna, his portrayal of Abhay is sterile and without soul, to put it mildly. Padmashri Kamal Haasan, as he has chosen to introduce himself in the credits, seems to be afflicted with the typical Hollywoodian obsession with technology, and it shows in the delusional sequences of Abhay, numerous fight scenes, and the countless pyrotechnics the twins (Abhay and Vijay) engage in.
