Vaada raha... i promise

Bobby, with Nanhe Jaisalmer has already proved that his best expressions and consummate acting skills are explicit and commendable when he is with a child.

Surprisingly it is the same supporting characters around him in his latest YEH VADA RAHA also.  With Dwij boy around, Bobby is at his very best once again!  It's a very touching story adopted from a Russian story theme but director Samir has done a good job.

Bobby is a doctor who meets with an accident and is paralysed neck below.  He loses all hope of recuperation, refuses food and medicine and gives up on existence.  fortunately there is this child, who descends on him like a saviour with his bubbly talk, cheerful smiles and makes live a sporty make believe outside world with his chirpy reports looking out a window.  The bed ridden doctor finally breaks through his misery, submits for treatment and is on his way back to normalcy just when his child friend has excused himself for a short break saying that he has to attend his school exam.  This is moving denouement of the story.  Watch it and you'll be in tears!!!

Bobby, you're at your very best!  Kudos to you...........

I thought the movie was okay, but the only problem was the script. The jodi of Samir Karnik and Bobby Deol has returned after Nanhe Jaisalmar’ and ‘Heroes’. The jodi really doesn't work as both films failed. But "Vaada Raha" isn't that bad like people are saying. The story is touching. It is about  Duke Chawla (Bobby Deol) who is a successful doctor. Duke is doing well in both his professional as well as personal life. He is in deep love with Nalini (Kangna Ranaut) whom he is to marry soon. He has a pet dog whom he loves and cares like his family member. As preconceived, misfortune awaits the protagonist and he meets with an accident. Though he narrowly escapes death, he could not stand to the blow of destiny which leaves him paralyzed from neck down.  He could have at least fought with his condition if Nalini had stood by his side. To his shock, he finds that his dream girl ditches him in time of need and goes away from him. This part of the movie fails to convince the audience as it seems highly unacceptable that someone who loved so deeply walks off one’s life so abruptly.  Anger and frustration overcome the best part of Duke and he starts wishing to die rather than living this type of life. It is at this point that the child Roshan (Dwij Yadav) walks into his life. Despite initial resentment, Duke begins to grow close to the boy. Roshan acts as the moral booster for Duke and he regains his hope and interest to live. Gradually, his condition improves and he gains sensation in his hands and legs. Another misery befalls him when one day the doctor tries to make him walk with the help of clutches. Watch the movie to find out what is the other misfortune for this tragic hero, Duke.

The film is a little bit too unbelievable. Kangana's character leaves him and in the end marries him despite betrayal. How can you marry somebody who left you when they needed you most? The kids talks like a guru. How can a child talk so like a big adult? He is only 10! The music is okay while the script is faulty, but it works.  Coming to the star cast, Bobby Deol and Dwij are perhaps the only actors in the movie whom the audience will appreciate. Kangna is a wonderful actress but her talent is not exploited properly in the movie. Samir Karnik should have used Kangana's talented to his advantage. Mohnish Behl has also done a good job, though he could have done a better job provided the script and direction was apt to mark. 

Overall, the film is okay.  The audience may like it, they may not

Samir Karnik’s latest venture “Vaada Raha” walks on the same path of partly good movies as seen in his earlier projects such as “Nanhe Jaisalmer” & “Heroes”. Selecting a fresh emotional subject for a film is as easy as reading a new story book. But transforming the same story into a worth watching movie is quite a different game altogether. This time too, Samir comes with a novel plot inspired by a Russian story based on the relationships between two patients in a hospital. But as experienced before, he again struggles in converting the emotional storyline into an equally transforming movie.

Commencing with a slow start, the main hospital plot gets into the picture after quite a while. Until then, the viewer helplessly keeps trying to guess the real catch of the story, which actually revolves around a well known doctor (Bobby Deol), who accidentally reaches the hospital bed after a deadly road mishap. Completely paralyzed after the accident, he is not able to move any part of the body other than his face and also gets dumped by his fiancée (Kangna Ranaut) due to his current dependent state. But the real plot starts later on, when a small boy (Dwij Yadav), who is also there in the hospital, becomes the new friend of the doctor and motivates him to fight with his own destiny with a newly found courage and inner strength.

The plot had a great potential for an off-beat kind of movie, close to the genre of “Anand” and “Mili”. But in order to make it commercially viable, the director goes on to add un-necessary songs into the narration and also comes up with a highly unethical climax where Bobby again reunites with her selfish fiancée who left him alone at the most inappropriate time of his life, when she was needed the most. Moreover, the main focus of the movie, moving around the relationship between Bobby & Dwij Yadav, also fails to impress the viewer completely. Dwij has a great confidence and that may be the reason why Samir keeps on repeating him in his movies. But in “Vaada Raha” he is made to act more than his age, speaking such mature dialogues, suggesting that he is more intelligent than all the other grown-ups roaming around in the hospital as doctors and nurses. Though he has acted well, but I think a more soft spoken tone in his dialogues could have connected with the audience better.

Bobby Deol, tries his level best and gives a good performance. But he gets many half-heartedly written scenes, where he suddenly starts walking after a severe paralysis attack, can easily facilitate a life saving operation dictating the doctors from T.V. monitors, reaches a quick conclusion on cancer cure after studying only a few books and goes on to marry the same girl who ditched him big time. Kangna Ranaut and her talent is simply wasted in an insignificant role. Mohnish Behl is ok and so are the other character artists playing their small parts. Cinematography is just fine but music has nothing great to offer and has only one song reaching the above average level.

With very few worth mentioning scenes (like the ones featuring the pet dog), “Vaada Raha” falters mainly in its writing department. The child factor and his trauma are not used so impressively into the script. The emotional sequences and the tragedies are unable to touch you deep inside. As a result the movie keeps on floating on the surface and fails to leave a heartwarming effect on the viewer. You can watch it only if you are tired of watching the usual love stories, underworld and murder mysteries.

Rating : 1.5 / 5

(By Bobby Sing from www.bobbytalkscinema.com) 

Duke Chawla (Bobby Deol) has a successful medical career, a doting girlfriend and dreams that are coming true until one night changes it all. A fatal car crash leaves him neck down paralyzed and puts an end to his perfect life. A man who was once an epitome of hope sees death as a better option than to live like a vegetable. The rest of the story is how Roshan (Dwij Yadav), a young boy dispels the darkness from Duke’s life by teaching him to love life.

The story is ok but the screenplay and the direction are amateurish. The movie is filled with cheesy scenes and silly comedy. The movie is basically Anand rehashed with the little kid playing Anand and Bobby playing a paralyzed Amitabh. Roshan narrates the events going on outside Duke's room window (in what clearly looks like a set). One can clearly make out that the kid is lying. There is a small twist in the end which one can probably guess from a mile.
