'Mr. White Mr. Black' is directed by Deepak Shivdasani. With this movie you realize that the
director's intentions may be sincere to make a full-on entertainer. The film borrows heavily from
the tried and tested stuff. There's a bit of 'Gopi Kishan' plus, the usual masala that worked at a
point of time. But it falis to attract the audience.
Gopi (Suniel Shetty), a simpleton, arrives in Goa from Hoshiarpur. His mission to hand over a piece
of land to his childhood friend Kishen (Arshad Warsi). Kishen swindles people with a little help
from his accomplice (Atul Kale), to earn enough money to educate his sibling Divya (Mahima Mehta),
who's studying in London. Kishen, however, has managed to hide his profession from Anuradha (Rashmi
Nigam) by cooking up an alibi of a twin brother, Hari, who's the bad guy.
Kishen avoids Gopi like he's bad news. He's not going to give up his flourishing business and travel
to Hoshiarpur just to take possession of a measly piece of land. Meanwhile, diamonds worth Rs. 25
crores have been stolen by three girls, who are now holed up in Goa. Kishen traces the three girls
and succeeds in robbing the diamonds. But the diamonds actually belong to a don, Laadla (Ashish
Vidyarti), who has also reached Goa. And what happens hereafter is to be seen on the screen.
Performances:
Suniel Shetty repeats his act without any variation. Ditto for Arshad, who is livewire in some
portions only. Amongst ladies, Anishka Khosla resembles Preity Zinta from some angles. She is okay.
Rashmi Nigam looks pretty, that's it. Sharat Saxena is the only actor who stands out. Ashish
Vidyarthi is loud. Shehzad Khan is funny. Vrajesh Hirjee and Upasana Singh's track is half-baked.
The others have played upto the content. Music is adequate. Thomas Xavier's cinematography is not
upto the mark. Deepak Shivdasani shows a flair for comic fares, but is letdown by his screenplay.
The other aspects are alright.
