Vaada (2005)
Where do I even begin with this movie?
The fact that neither of the three lead actors can act?- Zayed Khan was by far the worst, mostly because Arjun Rampal's character had a redeeming arc, and mercifully, Ameesha Patel's character didn't have enough screen time to impart lasting damage.
The music?- The songs were deranged. I don't have any other way to put it. I mean, one of the songs was literally called "Teri Kurti Sexy", and one of them, "Main Ishq Uska" is a scary attempt to normalise stalking and other obsessive behaviours towards women in the name of love. And the background score was a completely over-the-top, headache-inducing early '00s Bollywood mix. The person responsible for this mess? The one and only Himesh Reshammiya.
The loopholes in the story?- So much could have been solved by simple communication. Why were Rahul and Karan friends? Why was Pooja so... never mind, this will go in the spoilers territory. But seriously, why weren't these people talking to each other, despite being unhealthily close to each other all the time?? This is why straight culture should be banned.
The atrocious direction?- The camera angles, oh my god. I can't even begin to express all that I feel about them
All in all, this one was a definite shoo-in for god-tier cinema. Watch it, and marvel at the fact that Bollywood can produce Swades one year, and Vaada the next.
