I watched this film with high hopes and as a big fan of Irrfan Khan, but am afraid to say that this is the biggest pile of garbage I have seen in a long while and feel that I have been robbed of my time.The plot line is an outrageous, piecemeal, predictable mess, which left me feeling unfulfilled and irritable. The sound was equally awful and had me thinking back to viewings of the stunningly bad 'Fun 2 Shh: Dudes in the 10th Century'. The score was disjointed and out of place, not my cup of tea at all.The only saving grace was Irrfan Khan, who's exquisite acting skills were unfortunately eclipsed by the truly dreadful writing and direction. All in all, worth a look if this is your sort of thing, but for me this is one of the worst films out of India in 2005. Abysmal.
... View MoreI never ever noticed Irfan until I saw this movie! I knew him for his voice and now I know him for his acting! He is brilliant, he really rocks, all u see is Irfan. However, everything else is same like other Indian movie. There is good suspense thought. You will surely love this movie with pint of beer on your sofa and at good wet evening with rain !! As all know he is one of the best unnoticed actor in Indian cinema this time he came with some good show off!I am sure you will enjoy this movie as long as you like Irfan and you ignore some aspects of movie!Have a pint of beer and enjoy Irfan! If Irfan is reading this comment by any chance, let me tell you that you are one of the best one we have~!
... View MoreI thought this was a nice, fresh movie to ring in 2005. Irfaan Khan acted brilliantly. He played his role of a depressed cop who has no desire to live very convincingly. The actress, however, was quite lame. She is portrayed as drop-dead gorgeous, heavenly, and very innocent. I thought she was the complete opposite--she seemed kind of ugly and quite worldly. Nevertheless, the story and characters are quite interesting. Pooja Bhatt always has a thing for creating extremely mysterious characters that strike the audience's curiosity as they do in Rog. The actress's friend, boyfriend, etc. all have interesting personalities. The very idea of falling in love with a dead person is indeed very haunting, and it is disturbing to think of love as a disease as the tag line suggests. There are some really nice scenes and dialogs. Songs are excellent, especially Guzar Na Jaaye.
... View MoreROG produced by Pooja Bhatt who tasted her first success as a producer with Jism, so she thought to go ahead with such kind of genre and taste the success again but sorry Pooja this time you went wrong as you went wrong with your directorial debut movie Paap where you promoted it as a Sex Movie Jism Part 2 which it was not and because of this reason it was rejected by the audience. Rog was screened last year in Pakistan at Kara Film Festival and Paap was also screened in 2003.The film is about Ilene Hamann around whom the story of 'Rog' moves. She heads for an ad man Suhel Seth and soon their life flow peacefully. But, the silence turns deadly when one day she is found dead.Then the story takes the turn that who has done this? What was the motive behind this brutal act against a woman? And, it is here when the investigating officer Irfaan Khan enters the scene. First he considers it as a usual crime case, but soon realizes that it is not as simple. Hamann's daydream makes him fanatical. Is he sick? But, this is only the start of the confusion that he is going to lead into.What could have been an edge-of-the-seat thriller loses focus soon after the principal characters are introduced. The climax is insensible that whatever shocks a few sequences created just disappear. Even the identity of the murderer does not come as a shock.The worst writing by Mahesh Bhatt, bad direction by Himashu Brambhatt and also not good cinematography by Anshuman Mahaley. 1 out of 5
