Movie Report
Cash is a thriller set in Cape Town, South Africa. Cash is very similar to Dus having a plethora of stars stunning locales/visuals an energetic musical score and stylized action.
The story of the film Cash revolves around an ace con artist [Ajay Devgan], who hires a set of topnotch robbers [Esha Deol, Zayed Khan, Dia Mirza and Ritesh Deshmukh] to steal a set of priceless diamonds in South Africa.
The group also faces a threat from underworld don [Suniel Shetty], who is after the same diamonds and also the Head of Security [Shamita Shetty]. How these three groups manage to thwart each other forms the rest of the story.
The concept of a guy hiring professionals to execute a plan brings back memories of Sholay. There's an uncanny resemblance with "Dhoom-2" as far as the stylish stunts are concerned. Also, a number of individuals wanting to lay their hands on the priceless diamonds take you to "Shalimar". Writers Yash-Vinay had the right intentions of making a chor-sipahi kahani, but the writing is just not convincing.
What you take back as a viewer is only style. The writing is unenergetic in the first hour, but the second hour, you've to admit, is far more absorbing. The marked currency notes and also the chase by the cops [Ritesh, Esha, with Zayed atop the speeding car] are pulse-pounding.
Ajay Devgan is not in form this time around. He looks unenergetic. Suniel Shetty gets to play a role he has visited a few times in the past. Zayed Khan is okay. The real scene stealer is Ritesh Deshmukh very confident and easy-going. Shamita Shetty stands out. Esha suffers due to sketchy characterization. Her make-up makes her face look hard. Dia is far more appealing and enacts her part well. Ayesha Takia adds to the star-value.
Director Anubhav Sinha does make a 'good looking film', but the writing curtails it from being called an engrossing saga. As the captain of the ship, he should've ensured that Yash-Vinay gave him a smart screenplay that compliments his skills. Anthony Stone's stunts are topnotch. Vishal-Shekhar's music is trendy and the visuals and choreography supporting the tracks make you exclaim 'Wow'. Ravi Walia's cinematography is mesmeric. The film bears a striking look all through. Dialogues are well-worded at times.
On the whole, Cash has style, but rests on a thin plot and that is its biggest flaw. The choice of subject is right, but the writing lacks the meat to mesmerize the viewer.
