I guess one astorlogy predicted right, akshay will give one flop after another. So far he has given flops to disasters. Only Kambatkh Ishq can save him. Tasveer promotions were terrible, so the promotion. Where he says I have a secret🤣 For a minute i thought the movie is on Spoofs..like Hollywood does 😆

did they..? 😆😆😆 LOL.. but you know, even i could have predicted that knowing the stories of couple of his films.. 😉 seriously, the story is right out of some stupid holywood movie where either you go back in time.. i think even i said it earlier that story sounds really weak and i doubt it would work in India.. hehehehhe..

coming to think of it, even Blue i am not very hopeful about.. and from what i have heard from promos of KI, even script seems weak.. hopefully, it'll be a good entertainer.. however, base story line is flawed.. which surgeon in U.S. needs any other job.. they are so well off, it's not even funny..! LOL.. let's see.. i'll wait for reviews though.. 😳

Yes, they predicted Akshay would deliver MANY Flops..which surprising coming true 😲 Honestly speaking KI doesn't look good. Maybe it's me but i find some promos scene disrespectful to woman, love etc. The movie isn't a family from any way. Kareena has disappointed me using abusing words, which got mute 👏 At first i thought is it similar to Hum tum because both keeps arguing and screaming at each other. But after watching the promo, it was huge disappointment especially Akshay dialogues. But seriously i knew Tasveer won't work from first teaser 😆 I thought it was a spoof 😆

810 Tasveer Movie Review

Posted by Fareeha on 4/03/09 • Categorized as Movie Reviews(rottentamatar)

After making beautiful films like Iqbal and Dor, Nagesh Kukunoor decided to experiment with a murder mystery cum psycho-thriller. Is it as good as his previous films or not. Rating: 2/5

Starring: Akshay Kumar, Ayesha Takia, Javed Jaffery, Sharmila Tagore, Girish Karnad

Director: Nagesh Kukunoor

Synopsis:
810 Tasveer is different from all the films Nagesh Kukunoor ever made. Probably he wanted to experiment with the Abbas-Mustan kind of a murder-mystery style. Jai(Akshay Kumar) is a forest officer in Canada. His father Jatin dies by falling off a boat and drowning in water. There are four other people on the boat including his mom (Sharmila Tagore), uncle (Anant Mahadevan), his father's lawyer and friend (Girish Karnad) and best friend Ajit (Rushad Rana). Jai with the help of Hyderabadi inspector Happi (Javed Jaffery) realizes that his father was murdered but who did it? Jai has a supernatural ability to get into a picture and watch the happenings of a moment captured in a picture. And Jai will solve the murder mystery by going into the past through an 810 Tasveer.

Review:
On paper the whole idea of a protagonist who possesses supernatural powers of going into the past via a picture (as the person in the picture). He will then unfold a murder mystery using his powers. However, the final outcome of this concept is not so impressive. The sequences and gripping suspense build up towards a climax where you have a bizarre secret revealed. Ala old Hindi films!

The film loses control at some points and by the end of the second half, I had almost lost interest because it took forever for the mystery to unfold and when it did - It turned out to be really unconvincing and unimpressive.

It was well shot in the very picturesque locales of Canada and the general look and feel of the scenes was very soothing to the eye. Except for the regular and unnecessary advertisement of Godrej security systems. Also at times the film felt a little bland.

Akshay Kumar did not do any exceptional job. He was just okay. Javed Jaffery was very impressive in his Hyderabadi role. He is a really good actor whose can do great if offered a good role. Ayesha Takia is good. Sharmila Tagore is wasted and so is Girish Karnad.

My Verdict:
Its a good experiment that could've been better in a lot of areas. You can try it out but have very little expectations. It is strictly average fare.
