Starring : Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Neha Dhupia, Om Puri
Action replayy is a mish mash of a sci-fi and rom-com genre. It has Akhsay and Aishwarya as the main lead and Om puri and Kiron kher as support cast.
Now, about the movie.You expect the movie to be a no-brainer coz of the presence of akki baba. But I dont think its his fault anyway, its the producers and directors who flock to him with money and think that his presence alone will suffice in box office success. Well, if they dont even learn from the fiasco of Housefull or Chandni Chowk to China, then I dont know how they ever will.
The story goes like this. Bunty(Aditya Roy Kapoor) is a commitment phobic young man. He thinks that post marriage relationsihps degrades to the level of what he observes at home. The continuous fights between his father Kishen(Akshay kumar) and Mala (Aishwarya) is driving him nuts and when on their 35th anniversary a big fight breaks up between them, he decideds to go to their past using his girlfriends dad's time machine and fix up their marriage. phew.
So the movie is extremely dumbed down version of Back to the future. The movie was ruined to me since I am such a fan of the fun filled original. But still, I thought the beginning was not that bad. But once the initial euphoria of 70's fashion and atmosphere dies, you begin to realize its the same sad treatment all over. Over simplifying things for the masses. (Why cant they just treat the audiences with some respect, is beyond me.)
The music is the only saving grace of the film and that too because Pritam always puts in 1-2 catchy songs in every movie he does. Here they are "Zor ka jhatka", "O Bekhabar" & "chhan ke mohalla"
Akshay is over acting (As usual) Aishwarya and Neha showing their thighs in 70s (Blasphemy). And the rest of cast bumbling along. You know the outcome from the beginning, and the journey is painful to say the least.
Avoid it if possible.
