Heartless, a directorial debut by Shekhar Suman. I heard Shekhar Suman sharing in one of the TV show during movie promotions that this movie is literally and figuratively heartless. True upto an extent. Shekhar Suman indeed dons the hat of a director in a very good manner. Though, I need to admit that this movie has its own share of flaws and fine points. The first half of the movie is not built up logically and the characters are not defined nicely. I kept on wondering at the fast-motion love which blossomed between the lead pair Adhyayan Suman as Aditya Singh / Addi and Ariyana Ayam as Ria and tried to figure out what actually clicked between them. Why Aditya seemed to be unsure of himself, insecure in life, rebellious at times in spite of his businesswoman mother Ms. Gayatri Singh (played by Deepti Naval) showering him with her love, care, concern…it is not justified properly. The first half gives a feeling that it is going to be the struggle of Aditya to cope up with a deadly heart disease, rather win over the disease with the support of Ria's love. But, when the movie began, the noting said that it focuses on Anesthesia Awareness (a scary situation wherein a patient seemingly unconscious to the doctors is able to hear sounds and experience pain). So, my thoughts moved to the direction that probably, it could be a case of medical negligence. Could it be a love story or be a Medical Thriller…?But the plot changes its track in the second half which kept me glued to the screen better than the first half ...the story begins here. With unpredictable and shocking twists, suspense is built up, still I wish the subject could have been dealt more clearly (though it is heartless on my part to say so). Adhyayan looks good on screen, especially during the song sequences. Ariyana delivered an average performance, though looks pretty on screen. Shekhar Suman as Cardiologist Samar Saxena is effortless in his performance. But the non-clarity (at times) of the script gets translated to his certain scenes as well. Deepti Naval is great as Aditya's mother, whose head-strong shrewd personality is shown on one side and on the other hand, a doting mother who lived for her son. Om Puri as Dr. Trehaan's role is minimal yet pivotal to the movie. Thumbs up for the exceedingly well shot scenes (especially Dubai) by Cinematographer Derrick Fong, a few nice songs (though out of place at times), a heart-touching emotional mother-son scene towards the end, no melodrama overpowering the characters… and above all a welcome break from the regular story

100% ripoff of Awake and a very bad one staring Hayden Christensen and Jessica Alba. Watch it only if you cant sleep on one of those nights and this sure will make you sleep. S Suman cant Direct.Songs were so so. Acting was very bad except from the Hero's mother. Om Puri was wasted. First half is very bad and the second half just as bad. Some of the actors just seem to be going through the motions as they know how bad this is not their fault just that the screenplay was too weak. A Suman tries hard but his dad just cant direct and make this work.Watch Awake http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211933/combined instead nothing much to say about this one.

whats good- 1.story,it is something that's never seen before in bollywood....2.direction, as a 1st time director Shekhar Suman has done a very good job....3.acting,supporting cast outdone the lead but as a lead actor Adhyayan Suman is good but actress is average....4.music,all together isn't great but compared to the type of music that are currently rolling in bollywood its pretty good with a couple of very nice songs.what's not that great- well i haven't found any major flaw in the movie but yes the 1st half of the movie is slow and filled with regular romance sequels..final words- this movie is based on concept never seen before in any bollywood movie and it has been adapted with a lot of emotion. despite some flaws i recommend this movie to everyone. A must watch with your family.....

HEARTLESS...a complete package..a much awaited movie after a long time which u can share with your friends,love and much more..with your FAMILY. The movie starts with some luring background score...the sound of blowing instruments and the violins are exceptional.And before the release we have witnessed people humming....Mai Dhoondne Ko Jamane Me,Mashooqana,Soniye..and other heartless songs..which makes it a HIT as per Musical aspects. Adhyayan has proved himself again with good acting skills,nice expressions and scary pain in the operation theater. He had improved his class in dancing.Ariana Ayam is good,she looked nice and pretty.The movie deals with the love and romance of this new couple on the first half and suddenly it becomes a thrilling experience in the OT where it displays the love of a Mother for her son after the interval. We can see the class of acting in the performances of Deepti Naval,Om Puri and the young looking Shekhar Suman.Madan Jain also impresses in his short role. As a whole it's a good movie to watch...and we should give a high five to the Director Mr. Shekhar Suman who chooses this uncommon rare topic instead of making any spicy common fighting sequence type movie with sexy item numbers in it.FINAL VERDICT : 8.5/10(STARS)IF YOU HAVE ANY DIFFERENCES WITH YOUR MOM...THEN WATCH THIS MOVIE WITH HER....TRUST ME ...YOU Don't HAVE TO SAY A WORD TO SETTLE ANYTHING ...HEARTLESS ADHYAYAN WILL DO THIS FOR YOU.
