Where's the Game?

Reviewed by Sab Khan

Game is the Bollywood’s latest release by debut director Abhinay Deo. He has unfortunately failed to come up with a sizzling hot thriller. He may have tried to make a fashionable by signing in an apparently "hot" cast, but the plot of his movie needed thawing. The script was simply uninspiring and weak. Kabir Malthora (Anupum Kher) is the billionaire who owns an island in Greece, Sia Agnihotri (Kangna Ranaut) is a detective and Neil Menon (Abhishek Bachchan) is a casino owner. There's Boman Irani in the film too as a politician, Jimmy Shergill as an actor and Shahana Goswami as a journalist.

Four people are suspects in Kabir's daugther's murder case. But before the father can start investigating the murder, he dies. Apparently, this is a suicide attempt, but the four currently suspected are again arrested, for Kabir's death.

Too many unanswered questions and high predictability makes it a chore to watch the film. The direction is amateurish and is unable to extract the best from the actors involved. The first half of the movie is painfully slow, which the director tries to make up for in the second half, which looks mindless. But Alas! The thrill was still not gripping enough to control the audiences’ mind.

The movie tries to sell itself with the "trendy stuff" like people from different professions, a sexy police officer and views of beautiful Greece, but it all gets murdered by the script. Save your time by avoiding it, unless you are a huge fan of any actor involved.

Rating:2/5
