Ritu's Reviews

When I heard the title, I SEE YOU, I immediately thought of the Sixth Sense. It reminded me of the line, “I see dead people”. The correlation was a bit strange, but what do you know, it wasn’t far from the truth.
The concept of I SEE YOU is about a ghostly love. One that only our hero Arjun Rampal can see, touch, and hear. But don’t worry, unlike the Sixth Sense, the film doesn’t give you chills and isn’t creepy. In fact, its more like the sweet love story, starring Reese Witherspoon, Just Like Heaven.
Not an entirely original script, evidently inspired by the Hollywood flick, this film earns some marks for its Bollywood presentation. However the screenplay execution isn’t conducive with the potential that lay in the script.
I SEE YOU gets overly emotional. If your willing to think with your heart and heart alone, than this film can sustain your interest and make sense. Otherwise the illogical course of events fail to appease. It’s not a film that will put you to sleep, but it is one that has a red alert warning for boredom. But if you’ve been able to get past most of the second half, which in comparison to the first half is not so smooth, than its worth waiting for the concluding scene.
Arjun Rampal inserts some touching moments along with debutante Vipasha. Both lack the power of chemistry that is needed in such a love story, but perform well individually. Without much scope to showcase histrionics, Rampal is memorable for his impeccable good looks, and newcomer Vipasha for her cute, girl-next door appeal. Of the supporting cast who deserve mention are, Chunkey Pandey who comes as a relief package, suiting his role and Booman Irani who makes a decent attempt to evoke laughter.
Cinematography is first-rate, capturing the lovely sights of London. Music composers Vishal-Shekar do an average job, with only ‘Halo’ really standing out.
Thanks to friendship, two very charismatic superstars add gloss for 5 seconds in their friend’s home production. Perhaps if anything, they are worth seeing!
I SEE YOU is not so much a theatrical watch as it is a pop on DVD. With the accessibility of the remote control, time and pleasure can both be salvaged. So tell yourself, I SEE YOU…at HOME…and save some cash. I SEE YOU is a 2 out of 5 star watch according to Ritu's review.
