Yet another star son comes onboard the Bollywood wagon and this time it is the son of Anupam and Kiron Kher - Sikander. Also making debut with this movie is Neha Oberoi who looks to make a mark in tinsel town.
But how much of a splash can these newcomers really make is one that is to be seen in the coming weeks?
Getting back to the movie, this one is produced by Sanjay Gupta, Sanjay dutt and Ekta Kapoor, while directed by Hansal Mehta. It is the last of the Sanjay Dutt-Sanjay gupta combinations as they have parted ways ever since.
The film is one of the noir genre and is expected to boast of everything associated with this genre- shocks, thrillers, murders, mystery, suspense etc. Yes that is what the makers claim. And with this coming from the house of Sanjay Gupta, we can sit back and start guessing its 'international' inspirations.
The thriller is about a businessman who suddenly finds his wife missing. What follows is a demand for ransom, and the cat and mouse game that ensues.
The story focuses on Samir (Sikander Kher), an unemployed Punjabi boy. Street-smart, Samir has a weakness for beautiful women, easily falling in love with them. So it's not very difficult to imagine Samir falling for Zara's charms. But what makes Zara even more attractive is her proposal – asking him to kidnap her.
But little does he know that he is being trapped in a web that is going to change his life forever!
Samir needs answers before he gets sucked further in the whirlpool he has created.
Beautiful and seductive, Zara (Neha Oberoi) is a charming and wonderful wife in husband Jatin's (Arbaz Khan) eyes. But she can also be totally wild when on her own.
Changing personalities on a whim, Zara plans her own abduction to test her husband's love.
Jatin is a rich, suave businessman of few words. He zealously guards his social position and values the respect he enjoys from his peers and the media. He also loves his wife Zara.
But after her abduction he fears the worst. Is it was too late to express all the feelings he nurtured for her?
So when Jatin's wife disappears, a hostile and taunting ransom demand follows.
If the makers are to be believed, Woodstock Villa is contemporary entertainment that breaks new grounds with every twist. Hmm, that scares me...When they say ..every twist, it reminds me of how overboard filmmakers get (like the recent RACE).
The film is a week away but news is pouring in that the film has upset a lot of ladies associated with it. Well, not to get me wrong here, it seems that lead actress Neha Oberoi is upset that her voice is being dubbed over which Sanjay Gupta maintains will only help her in the long run.
The other lady that is not so pleased seemed to be mama Kiron Kher who was shocked when she saw the portions that Hansal Mehta shot. So news doing the buzz is that she got Sanjay Gupta to reshoot several portions.
The music of the film from Anu Malik has failed to create any ripples, so it has made it difficult to the promos to catch any eyeballs. Probably why the lead pair has to resort to all those skinshow. Surprisingly, even that is failing to create any interest so far.
THE PANEL ROOM
WOODSTOCK VILLA has decent merits and holds appeal for those with an appetite for hardcore thrillers. INDIAFM 2/5
Directed by Hansal Mehta, this purported noir thriller is a killer waste of your time and physical tolerance. HINDUSTAN TIMES 1/5
