Movie Review: Ek Deewana Tha

OK, this one, frankly, is a mixed bag. The acting by the leads is very amateurish, the story predictable and flat, the dialogue kiddish, and overall, the movie needed a lot more polish.

However, it has its moments. Amy Jackson sizzles (although her complexion changes as often as the twists in the tale), exuding a certain sexiness and innocence that's perfect for the role. The treatment of the story is very interesting. The use of Malyalam in the soundtrack and the dialogues adds tremendously to the atmosphere and the entertainment. The soundtrack isn't too bad, Hosanna being the best. And the locales in Goa and Kerela are beautiful!

The second half could have been snipped by another 15-20 mins, and if the leads could have got their act together, this could have been a pretty sweet movie!
