Where do I even begin with "Shabd"? This movie is like a wild rollercoaster ride that takes you on a journey through the twisted mind of a writer, and boy, is it a bumpy ride!

First of all, let's talk about the acting. Sanjay Dutt is the star of the show here, and he delivers a performance that's equal parts creepy and captivating. Aishwarya Rai is also there, and she's as beautiful as ever, but let's face it, her character is mostly just there to be ogled at by the male characters, which includes Zayed Khan's character.

The story. "Shabd" is essentially a movie about a writer who falls in love with a younger woman, and then proceeds to use her as inspiration for his new book. But here's the catch: the book is all about how he murders her. Yeah, you read that right.

The movie then takes us on a journey through the writer's increasingly disturbed mind as he struggles with his feelings for the woman and his desire to write a masterpiece. There are a lot of surreal dream sequences, creepy voiceovers, and even a few musical numbers thrown in for good measure.

"Shabd" is a strange, unsettling movie that will leave you feeling both intrigued and slightly disturbed. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary, then give it a watch. But if you're looking for a straightforward romance or action movie, then this is definitely not for you.

Has anyone seen this movie?

Yes, I’ve unfortunately watched the film. My eyes was prepared to roll up heavenward to meet my creator had it not been for Aishwarya’s staggering beauty and Zayed Khan’s OTT laughing that helped keep me awake. Confusing and stupid movie.

Oh, those closeups of Aishwarya in this movie. Breathtaking!

Otherwise the film is a snoozefest

Ash was ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING in this film!!! One of her best looks! ❤️ The movie was stupid otherwise. I never found it unconventional, just stupid lol. Zayed was so irritating but then when is he not. Dutt & Ash looked so hot together.

Aish and Sanjay Dutt did good. Zayed was annoying as F. The nose ring really highlighted Aish's facial symmetry. It took her beauty to new heights. One of her best looks. I couldn't take my eyes off her in the movie.

It’s truly quite an unconventional film. The plot is bizarre and I can understand why Indian audience couldn’t appreciate it at that time. Having said that, Zayed Khan looked like a total clown and his pairing with Aish was 🤢 Sanju and Aish had hot chemistry though 😳

I only remember that Aish and Sanju baba were scorching together in the Sholon Si song..Both Sholon Si and Khoya Khoya were fantastic songs
