Many times novel concepts get beaten up if not handled well Madhoshi is one such film, the film brought back the hit pair of John-Bips that time who were in a relationship after Jism(hit) and Aetbaar(flop) The film had a bit of a different story but sadly it was ruined by inept handlihg The film does remind of A Beautiful mind, Face/Off The story actually takes off when John-Bips track starts before that it's boring, The John track is well treated and there is a twist in interval point The second half starts well but the pre-climax is such an anti climax, but the climax makes a mockery right from Priyanshu's re emergence and John's sceneDirection by Tanveer Khan is good in parts but ruined due to writing Music is okayThis was John's first film after Dhoom success, his acting is good though but the film flopped, Bipasha does well in her role, their chemistry is fantastic however Bips does overact a bit in parts. Priyanshu is decent in his role however his talent is wasted in such a role Vikram Gokhale, Rajeev Verma and others are good, Shweta Tiwari is decent

Whenever there is a new concept in Hollywood, people do get inspired all over the world and Hindi cinema is no exception. There were films made dealing with 'Split personality' in Hindi but only few of them really pay tributes to the concept and one of them was Deewangee. It is well known that concept by itself is always good and appealing but a worst implementation does spoil the concept and drive audiences away. One such worst execution of a beautiful, poetential story line was greatly demonstrated in Chaahat ek nasha by none other than Partho Ghosh of Agni Sakshi fame. this brings me to the film "Madhoshi".This film is evidently based on the concept of "Beautiful mind" based on the life of a mathematical genius John Nash (played by Russel Crowe). I have not seen the English movie for my weakness in English. The heart of the story is the 'disease' Schrizophernia. It is said that there is no known cure of the disease. Given this non-existence of a successful method of treating a patient with such a problem, one tries their own method/attempt. Hence we should not laugh at any such method as it is very case specific.I must say that the treatment of the subject is first rate. Now I am motivated to see 'beautiful mind'. I recommend Madhoshi to all those who want to see 'beautiful mind' but cannot follow the language. This Indian version is good enough by itself that deserves a watch!

Bipasha is most definitely the scene stealer in this movie. Yet to adorn the conventional role, she plays a way out-of-the-ordinary character that demands as much of her as Bhoot demanded from Urmila. Now I don't know if Bipasha did as good as a job as Urmila, but it was pretty darn close. The story is excellent. There are a couple parallels between this film and "A Beautiful Mind" in that the protagonist's condition is the same and the ending is very similar. However, I feel that the similarities end there. John Abraham was OK. Priyanshu wasn't impressive. Music was pretty okay; the title track was good. The film does a great job of maintaining the suspense and shocking the audience with sudden twists and turns in the plot.

** Spoiler **Though, the comment is titled "Spoiler", there is nothing in the movie that could be termed Suspense! The movie is a very very bad Indian remake of the legendary "A Beautiful Mind"!The protagonist, Miss Bipasha "Jism" Basu, features as a schizophrenic girl who finds solace in an imaginary boyfriend...meet John Abraham!Her real life fiancé, Priyanshu Chatterjee, finds an innovative way out of the problem...face surgery...so very funny...I would recommend you must see the movie just for feeling how unimaginative Indian directors could be!The last scene where they copied the famous Nobel lecture by John Nash a.k.a Russel Crowe is again too much to digest.Overall, the movie is pathetic.
