Sanjay Gupta has a niche for thrillers and Woodstock
Villa is no different. Directed by Hansal Mehta,
Woodstock Villa is stocked with thrilling moments,
shock value and slight percentage of despair as
well.
Like Sanjay Gupta’s earlier films, Woodstock Villa
too has been made on the lines of Hollywood cinema.
The cinematography is distinctive as sepia look
takes over the regular frames of Eastman color. |

Actor Anupam Kher’s son Sikander Kher makes an
impressive debut with Woodstock Villa along with
beautification glorified Neha Uberoi. The
performances are praiseworthy but not the film in
entirety.
The plot revolves around a high profile kidnapping
of a businesman’s (Arbaaz Khan) wife (Neha Uberoi),
followed by a series of set-free demands added with
the grey shades of menacing. |

The kidnapper (Sikander Kher) falls in a loop of troubles
with the wife is murdered. Things don’t work always as they
were planned, and the characters get entangled in a maze of
lies and deceit.
The film let looses itself with the ample of songs that pour
in all the time, reducing the thrilling moments. Otherwise,
director Hansal Mehta has done a decent job is keeping the
narration under the covers with little doubts over
predictability. |

The script gets
slightly out of place towards the climax as the conclusive
moments are rushed through. The screenplay is well thought
upon though the interruptive songs aren’t out of contention
towards making the movie dull. Background score by Amar
Mohile is fantastic and so is Vikash Nowlakha’s
cinematography. |
|
|
Actingwise, Sikander Kher is a remarkable actor and
his portions are handled keeping his soaring
potential in mind. He essays the character of a
kidnapper with natural flair and holds his screen
presence at a high point.
Another debutant, Neha Uberoi is a refined discovery
of Sanjay Gupta. She carries her amazingly hot body
with supershots of acting as well. Neha Uberoi is
the beauty |
|
 |
|
to gaze for in the films to come.
Arbaaz Khan is good in his brief stint but he seems to be in
a closet for some time now. Shakti Kapoor is okay.
Overall, Woodstock Villa’s prolong delay and restricted
publicity will affect its business at the box office.
Viewers who enjoy hardcore thrillers should book the tickets
in the theaters. |
