Non-official Hindi remake of Open Water 2: Adrift
Nov 26, 2019 09:21 PM772 Views

Touted as India’s first 3D underwater film & borrowed heavily from Open Water 2: Adrift, first time director, Gurmmeet Singh take audiences on a journey into the lives of 7 young friends, a Labrador Retriever and a baby(Sara). They catch up in Fiji after the protracted five years to celebrate the benign old times & the first birthday of Sara. They do not heed a warning amidst all the jollity and find themselves stranded neck deep in shark-infested ocean, unable to land themselves back on to their small yet lush yacht(Pied Piper). Then starts a bloody game in middle of the everlasting ocean. The lucky one dies first and the rest goes through the worst nightmares of their lives after venting out their frustration/anger, facing the unrequited love, popping out the secrets and lastly, churning out their patience for their survival, with no hope of rescue and miracles.


The movie is more of a survival story & has some inly nail-biting moments, more in the second half, to be precise. The astounding locales of Fiji, the cinematography(top notch), the camera angles, the hair-raising sound effects, the direction, the skin show, the acting in the first half, exhibitioning the fear and a few fantastic shots of 3D gimmickry truly builds up the momentum of the proceedings & keeps the spectators jaw-dropped and hooked till the end. The movie emits fresh vibes to viewers of Hindi films with a theme that's seldom explored here. The direction is simply brilliant. Gurmmeet Singh is flawless in the art of storytelling. The lingo is contemporary, to catch up with the target audience - Youngsters.


On the flip side, the movie is not a scarefest, which one expects from this kind of cinema. The narration should have been a songless affair. The escapades with the shark in the second half, should've evoked fear, with the use of 3D gimmickry, but unfortunately it doesn't. The slow pace of the movie has diluted the impact of tension/fear & hence, it should have been 15-20 minutes shorter. The culmination is hurried & abrupt as well, which leaves the viewers wanting for more. The editing is shaky & fails to give the desired lucid flow.


Madhurima Tuli & Suzana Rodrigues flaunt her beach body dauntlessly. It is only during the ultimate moments that the aquaphobic Manjari Fadnis surpasses all, both by flaunting her irritant body & showing her effectiveness through her acting skills. Varun Sharma is competent and has nothing striking to do, unlike his previous attempt Fukrey. With chiseled body and ravishing looks, Santosh Barmola [as Manjari's lover], Jitin Gulati [as Manjari's husband] & Sumit Suri are confident and effectual enough. They know how to emote well.


To sum up, the movie makes it clear from the very beginning what to expect further, as the reel unfurls but if you're brave enough to experiment, give this one a shot(with minimal expectations) for the execution of the idea, which has been done with panache & as never-seen-before happenings or else skip it
