Aap Ka Surroor’s main feature is supposed to be Himesh Reshammiya who dons the acting cap along with debutant Hansika Motwani and Mallika Sherawat. Himesh or HR attempts to prove that he can act too after proving himself as a singer, composer, judge etc. The film has a very stale love story turned thriller for its script but unfortunately it is the screenplay that seems to be the weakest point. The script has the usual run of the mill love story which is set against the backdrop of a conspiracy against Himesh, who plays a world renowned singer. Although Himesh has tried to give his film an international appeal with foreign locales, high action, romance and a good dose of drama, the overall film seems to be high on gloss but low on content and quality. The execution by director Prashant Chadha too is barely average and the screenplay often seems to be a collage of hi-fi sequences thrown in together. Meanwhile performances too are not satisfactory. Himesh comes across as stiff and does not have that powerful screen presence required for an actor. Overall the film may appeal to die-hard Himesh fans, but the film barely makes it to the average mark.
The film belongs to the romantic genre and has been produced by Vijay Taneja and directed by Prashant Chadha. The story has been written by Vibha Singh and the film stars Himesh Reshammiya, Hansika Motwani, Mallika Sherawat, Raj Babbar etc. The music has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
Himesh is a singer with fame, fortune and everything going for him. He has fans all over the world and women swoon just at the sight of him. He goes to perform a concert in Germany and there he falls head over heels with the young girl who is co-coordinating his concert. Meanwhile the event organizer and his partner Mallika Sherawat are busy publicizing the concert. Mallika too gets enamored with Himesh but unfortunately he does not reciprocate her feelings as he loves Hansika.
Unfortunately there is an underlying conspiracy being worked out by some who want to crush Himesh’s rising glory. A conspiracy is set in motion and Himesh finds himself accused of a murder which he has never committed. He is arrested for the murder of a reporter and no one is willing to believe Himesh’s innocence. So Himesh is forced to take the law into his own hands and prove his innocence if he wants to get out of jail and win his ladylove back. There’s loads of opportunity for music as Himesh plays a singer. So will Himesh emerge from this crushing conspiracy unscathed? How will he prove that he has not committed any crime? Also what will happen of Himesh’s true love?
The story has nothing novel; writer Vibha Singh does not offer any major interesting twists and turns. It is a love story which turns into a thriller later, but unfortunately there are many clichés used in screenplay. The screenplay seems to be more of a collage of stylish sequences but unfortunately these sequences don’t completely grip the viewers’ attention. The execution by director Prashant is average and he attempts to carry forth the film despite a stale script and a lackluster screenplay. The film has a stylish look and the music too is fine. Performances range from satisfactory to below average. The climax too is predictable. The love story between the lead pair is not very convincing too. The part of the thriller is average but the mystery of the murderer should have been maintained throughout the film to extract full value. The film’s pace though is fast and there is a fare dose of drama, action, romance and music included which makes for an average masala flick.
The screenplay often ignores rationality and logic, like when suddenly rickshaws are seen in Germany or the simplicity with which Himesh escapes from prison. There are many sore points like these. But nonetheless Himesh fans may take a liking to all the drama and romance in the film. Music is fine and the good locations and average choreography lift it a notch. Dialogues though seem unconvincing especially the one which Himesh keeps repeating about fate.
Performances are also nothing to rave about. Himesh seem to be stiff at times, though in a few sequences he manages to depict certain emotions well. His dialogue delivery is not up to the mark and unfortunately he does not have that amazing screen presence. But again for a newcomer one could say that he is average and could improve with future films. Hansika Motwani looks sweet but her acting too is not up to the mark. Mallika Sherawat is average in her role which offers limited scope. The rest of the star cast is just average.
Overall the script and screenplay is not convincing enough but there is enough of drama, romance and music to make it an average film. Die- hard loyalists will enjoy Himesh’s acting efforts. At the box-office it may be just able to make it to the average mark. The film seems to be an average time-pass flick.
