i watched this movie on Youtube and its was great as a Himesh fans his music is awesome but after watching this movie i can see Himesh Carrer is moving to the upcoming best.the only distraction was Shehnaz Treasurywala for me the whole movie her smile is the most awesome thing I've ever seen in a long time since 1999.damn Shehnaz was looking sweet. Sonal Sehghal was nice and paresh rawal making prank calls on the radio was hularious. the soundtrack of radio was by himesh himself and it was superb for 2009. Man ka radio,Tere Mere and all the songs were amazing. this movie is better then himesh all movies.Aap ka Suroor,karz and Kajraare. Radio Wins

Himesh needs to quit acting and stick to music instead. If he feels the urge to share something he considers poignant to his music with us, we might permit him to shoot an elongated music video provided we like the song it is about. This is just unacceptable. The guy can't act and to top it all up, he is too melodramatic and takes himself way too seriously. You can tell that all the actresses he keeps acting with are just doing it for the money and recognition, they can't even fake liking him talk less of being convincingly romantic with him. He is just embarrassing himself by churning out so-called romantic movie after movie (and by the way, the soundtrack for this one wasn't even great) just because he has the money to do so. 'Aap Ka Suroor' (his debut film) was a hit by fluke. 'Karz' flopped and I'm sure so did this one ('Radio'). I will not even bother describing this hopeless excuse for a film to you, watch at your own risk.

"What did you think you were doing?", "Are you crazy", etc. were some of the reactions when I said that I saw Himesh Reshammiya's 'Radio' on the big screen this weekend. While buying the tickets, even the box office staffer said "Go for Paa instead, it's a good movie". But, my curiosity to see this composer turned singer turned actor's indomitable spirit to fight the odds and his detractors led me to sit through this apology of a movie. Vivaan Shah (Himesh) is a popular RJ on Radio Mirchi who solves romantic tangles and of his callers; but his own life is in a mess following a divorce from Puja (Sonal Sehgal). However, neither accepts it well and harbor feelings for each other. Meanwhile, he runs into a free spirited Shenaya (Shenaaz Treasurywala) which develops into a meaningful bond. Both the women love him, as Vivaan refuses to acknowledge it or believe in love. It's well known that Himesh can't act! Furthermore, he has dumped his hinterland audience to tap urban youth with references to Facebook, coffee conversations and RJ talk. Its tag line "It's complicated" seems inspired from the relationship choices on Facebook. I could never imagine anybody turning this playful phrase into a whole two hour movie! But, none of the youth stuff is capitalized and bears no effect on the story. 'Radio' comes to you in chapters, about 18 of them. While most are poorly scripted, some come with bits of intelligent dialogue sprinkled in between. Old time VJ Shenaaz who's started to look old now makes a decent effort to be sweet and adorable and is the better one amongst the three leads. Sonal Sehgal's effort is bearable. However, given Himesh's constipated expression throughout, there was nothing to save the movie. The masala in the story includes a weirdly comical Punjabi and Parsi family of Shenaya whose family can never get their dish antenna fixed despite the Punjabi father being a senior cop. Probably Himesh didn't want his characters to buy dish antennas sold by his mentor Salman's competitors Shahrukh or Aamir. Paresh Rawal in his cameo as the forever- in-doubt 'Jhandu Lal Tyagi' makes a feeble attempt to tickle your funny bone.To its credit, you don't feel cheated when you watch 'Radio'. That's because you watch it with expectations which are around zero or probably in the negative territory. In the end, you may come back humming a few of its songs 'Teri Meri Dosti Ka Aasmaan' or 'Rafa Dafa'. 'Mann Ka Radio' or rather 'Gham ka Radio' played repeatedly in the first few minutes makes it feel like a nail being drilled into a head and 'Damaadji' is horrendous. With just 19 people strong audience, that too on the opening weekend speaks for itself. Some of us in there took pleasure in mocking at Himesh in every other scene. So, you know what to expect! Wait, before you think you can write off his filmi career, our Nasal star is all set to strike back again with 'Kajraare' later this month, 'Ishq Unplugged' in post production for 2010 followed by 'Mudh Mudh Ke Na Dekkh Mudh Mudh Ke'!
