Vishesh films are known for copying films, not that others don't and at least they make better films then YRF even though copies. ZEHER was a copy of OUT OF TIME(2003). The entire movie is almost lifted from the original yet it does have some good scenes and some hit music. The film starts off well, the characters of Emraan, Shamita and Udita are well handled and slowly we get involved in the proceedings though the pace does tend to be too slow sometimes. Even there are hardly few moments between Shamita and Emraan hence their relationship feels good yet the film does manage to startle you throughout if you haven't watched the original. Though it does get predictable too often. The climax too is nothing new and has been done to deathDirection by Mohit Suri(his first movie) was good though the script could be tighter. After assisting the Bhatts in films like FOOTPATH finally Mohit Suri(relative of Bhatt) was launched with this film Music was a big rage, WOH LAMHE was the best song, AE BEKABAR by KK too is good, all songs are fab overallEmraan Hashmi does his role very well, serious roles suit him best and he does a great job, this was his 2nd hit after MURDER. Shamita Shetty does a good job, sadly her career didn't really go miles and she has now quit bollywood Udita Goswami is wooden and terribly dubbed by someone else Amongst rest Samir Kochar does a good job, Ninad Kamat is superb in the typical hero friend role Vishwajeet Pradhan is okay

I Must start by saying I enjoyed this movie, I Laughed my a** off. ;-) This movie is a frame to frame copy of "Out of Time" (well almost 90%, with songs and some Indianisation) I'm not against such remake or copies, but please give the source movie some respect for god's sake, this movie has no creativity what so ever (apart from the songs, which are GOOD)Emraan and Shamita have tried, but sadly failed. some of their expression are so funny, kinda childish. Notice Shamita's eyebrows, she surprised/stressed through the movie, that the standard expression she has sticked tooOn whole, if need to pass your time, with friends passing comments, this can be enjoyed. otherwise it is a just below average movie, that too just because of the plot. (taking in consideration u have'nt seen "Out of time")

Oh this one is a must-watch!!! Emraan Hashmi is absolutely brilliant in this movie. Even though this flick is a copy of Hollywood's "Out of Time", it surpasses its predecessor and is the perfect thriller to watch, especially late at night.The other co-stars Shamita Shetty(Sonia)and newcomer Udita Goswami(Anna) have also given a superb performance. An estrangement between Siddharth Mehra (Emraan) and his wife Sonia leads him straight into the arms of seductress Anna.But this passion is short-lived as Siddharth is drawn into a web of treachery that leaves him struggling not only to prove his innocence but also to keep his affair secret from his wife. The chemistry between Anna and Siddharth sizzles, but the love Siddharth has for Sonia is equally evident.Above all, its such a pleasure to be led on an emotional roller coaster by Siddharth. Watch closely the emotional by-play on Siddharth's face. He has really portrayed all the emotions well, lust, desire, contempt, anger, deception,apprehension, etc.He has a really expressive face, and his voice adapts very well to the mood he's supposed to play. Injecting humor into the tense drama is Siddharth's friend James. Mr.Bhatt is well-known for steamy scenes in his movies, but then, he's not a father figure to the youth..he's just what he is...a film producer, who is out there only to entertain us...He's not there to reform or lead astray the youth.So, please stop pointing fingers at him.He's provided us with a great thriller in Zeher, and if one hasn't watched its Hollywood copy, Zeher is really unpredictable, with twists and turns, and a great climax.The scenic backdrop of Goa is perfect for this movie. The sound track is amazing....Woh Lamhe is a great song to listen to in both, the slow and the fast version. All of Emraan's movies are good, but in Zeher he plays a very mature character, unlike his other boyish roles(eg Aashiq Banaya Apne), and he pulls it off perfectly with a capital P. I have watched this movie about 24 times to date, and each time i've enjoyed it as if it were the first time...The song "Woh Lamhe" holds a special meaning for me, because i've recently lost the love of my life due to a huge misunderstanding, which so far i've been unable to remove. I can go on writing about this movie...Its my favorite Bollywood movie ever, and Emraan is a heart-throb, but i'll end my review here with a recommendation to watch this movie. Its worth your time. P.S Emraan...we want more of you, we love you,from Pakistan.
