Akshay Kumar has finally done something different after many years .i.e a serious role. I was kinda not sure whether he would stop doing the comic stuff but he has managed to pull this one of decently. Tasver is a plot where the main lead Akshay has a gift of picture prediction. He peeps into the past by observing the image of the person and comes out with the hidden secrets that let to the circumstances. The cinematography is truly very Hollywood and is extremely refreshing to see the beauty of
Ayesha Takia plays his love interest and manages to look not as glamorous as she normally does.
Javed Jaffery plays a special investigating COP and has added the comic presence with a Hyderabadi flavour. His presence on screen was superb but I some how felt that after the interval there was not much scope for him anyways.
The story goes back and forth many a times with Akshay kumar trying to crack the mystery of his Dad’s death. He has to cross check each and every character again and again not face to face but by peeping into the photograph that his mother (Sharmila Thagore) had clicked just before his death on the boat.
The movie moves very slowly and has not managed to keep the viewer at the edge of the seat. However the climax was truly unexpected and almost made me believe that this one could have been handled differently. It happens to be Aky’s twin bro who is behind all the killings and that completely put me off. I thought that they could have spiced up the script with a Split personality concept making it more realistic. But that’s how our bollywood movies are made.
Akshay has tried really hard to make his character look convincing but I some how feel that his serious role effort was not half as good as his comic timing.
Surely a one time watch to see a HATKE movie this summer.
