Action Replay- Retro Looks and Good Music

If you are expecting to watch a sensible movie that will take you to the old genre of 70’s and you can enjoy the romance and styles from that era, then please, beware!! Nothing like that is going to happen. The moment the time machine appears in the movie, the logic takes its exit. Whatever, happen after that is just a shapeless thing.

The movie starts with introduction of Bunty (Aditya Roy Kapoor) whose parents Kishen (Akshay Kumar) and Mala (Aishwarya Rai-Bacchan) are staying separate as both of them can not tolerate each other’s nature. Bunty comes across a time machine which he finds at his girlfriend’s grandfather whose role is played by Randhir Kapoor. Bunty has an idea to go back in the past time when his parents are young. He wants them to fall in love with each other. Actually that is all what can be said about the story line of the movie which is not so strong but is surely cheesy and not-so-specific type.

Two strong points of this movie are gags which are not too tiresome or intelligent, appearance of Akshay Kumar in retro looks. Cool looks of Aishwarya Rai-Bacchan give a somewhat soothing effect while watching the film.

The characters in the movie are totally shade-less, they are either black or white which do not appeal to be realistic. They are too loud. Despite of all these drawbacks, the performance by the stars is surely a plus point for this movie. They have performed to their best possible to make the film watchable at least for once. The new face Aditya Roy Kapoor has also done a good job, whereas, Rannvijay Singh makes a notable presence as a villain.
