Review---Red Swastik: Kills Time |
Red Swastik: Kills Time indya.com rating: 1.5 out of 5 * Cast: Menaka Chopra, Harsh Chhaya, Deep Raj Rana and Deepshika Director: Vinod Pande Synopsis: This one's for those who want to kill time and have no other option. A skin flick with a difference...what's that?...lets find out! A nameless psycho killer (Chopra), masquerading as a call girl, is on a killing spree, targeting rich businessmen. She is also obsessed with Sarika (Deepshikha), an editor of a leading ladies magazine and haunts her with her calls to print her real story...Why does she wanaa do that? And why is it only Sarika? The reasons are never explained. A top cop (Harsh Chhaya) is baffled with the amazing proficiency with which she executes the murders across the country. No one has a clue where she comes from and heads for? Heard this one before? Well yeah in many B grade Hollywood flicks...but here our killer kumari leaves a red swastik mark on her victims forehead and does a tandav nritya at her house after that. Not only that she fasts on some days of the week and doesn't go on with her 'job' on those days. One rainy night, the best officer in the DCP's team, Sunil (Rana) manages to accidentally bump into her. He falls for her sob story and later in her bed. An erotic song later and after a night passes away, he realizes he slept with the enemy. But before he can react, she takes him onto her bath tub and leaves him in a pool of blood....murdered. What happens after that is an unintentionally giggle inducing cat and mouse game between the cops and the killer lady. Sherlyn aka Mona aka Menaka Chopra, the wallpaper girl whose claim to fame nowadays are her dare bare bindaaas quotes, does a neat job of...well....exposing. Since she knows that's what her fans may expect in this flick, she makes sure no one shall go back home dissatisfied. None of the other actors have anything worthwhile to do. Vinod Pande, remains true to his subject and delivers the goods. But it feels sad to see a mature filmmaker, who has made films in the past like Yeh Nazdeekiyaan and Ek Baar Phir, now totally dedicating himself to making skin flicks like Sins and this one. On the script part, the film does have a plot and the revelation at the end does shock you a little bit. Like mentioned earlier, if you are totally bored of seeing the same stuff dished out nowadays and wanna laugh your heart out with a luscious beauty forever on screen as a bonus, this one is apt for you. -- Abhijit Mhamunkar |
