Neeyat the movie! Please do not watch!
This is actually a social service blog saving from the torture that is watching a movie such as Neeyat!
There was a time when there used to be one movie which used to come once a week in the only channel available! We all used to gather around the TV whether in black and white or color and the only remote used to be the youngest or the fastest or the closest to the TV kid!
Movies used to be seen between advertisements and sometimes these used to be so long and so many that we could finish the food and some homework in between!
My mother would then rush to the kitchen to clean and finish her work! Then you would get a warning that the movie is about to begin! Sometimes a kind technician would have rewind the movie a bit since we would have forgotten where it had reached!
And now the less than a minute ad and the skid ad button is the only thing we search for! The amount of options which are there is simply too much!
I can assure you that no human in the world even now can ever watch all the movies in the OTT available right now even if he or she watches them back to back!
Previously we would have waited for a week for the next episode to come of a soap or even a detective series!
And now we patiently wait for the whole series to release so that we can binge watch the whole thing or season without any wait! And since you have paid for the OTT, you are not riddled with the ad!
So when we did not have choice, even that old movie with absolutely no bankable or recognizable actor was so interesting and we used to watch glued to the TV provided the signal is clear!
While now, when the you tube plays a video in Standard definition and not high definition we cannot bear to watch it!
Previously since there was no social media or internet, we would love a movie so much without realizing that it is a remake of another movie! And now even if there is a vague similarity we find it! Now whether we like it better or not after that is dependent on how good the original movie is!
So in this day and age if you are going to remake a movie, the least you could do is select a good movie in the first place! Knives out first part was a good movie but the second part was so full of plot holes and a big mess! A murder mystery is watched by people only for closure! If you do not get closure then there is no point. The only thing Neeyat gets right is the closure! It tries to copy Knives out 2 Glass Onion and fails so miserably!
Vidya Balan has never looked so confused so much so that she is doing a better job with her reels! A recreation of a person like Vijay Mallya is the central theme of the movie!
Then they take the whole team to Scotland in a castle! I would have watched Gumnam again which is in fact a better copy of Agatha Christie’s ‘and then there were none’. Of course when we watched Gumnam, we did not know this and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Of course a big role is the role of expectation! Since we do not have any expectation it was amazing!
Then there is the son of the rich guy who looks and acts so bad that in real life he would not even have got the role of the cleaner (cleaners of course are more smart!). The other actors look like they have come on a holiday and this whole movie was a game they played! Badly and unprepared!
Dead bodies fall like the gnat to the flame and even then it is not clear what the hell is happening!
I have to add about Rahul Bose! That amazing actor in JHANKAR BEATS is made to be a fool! Every time he comes in a scene you feel like pulling out your hair and using those hairs to cover your ears and eyes! By the time Shefali has come to the scene it is a lost cause!
Then you have so many twists that at once you can know the director is really twisted!
The final twist is in the end but by that time your mind is so twisted that you just want it to get over and move on! Directors and story tellers must realise that the average viewer is spoilt for choice! Has low attention span and does not take non sense like he or she used to!
Watch it at your own peril, I don’t think the NEEYAT of the director is good!
