'Summer 2007' is directed by Suhail Tatari. The director has come up with a commendable
thought but then he should have worked on the narration and presentation part if he wanted to
create an impact which was missing completely. The director intention may be the film which
touched base with 'Rang De Basanti' has actually got a good concept but then the clarity of
thought was not presented clearly when it came on screen. And this film is about the friends
only.
A could be better treat, the story begins with a group of five friends who come from the top
cream of the society and all of them are students of medicine which they got through the
capitation fee. With their life full of X Box and Formula 1 life is going hunky dory for them
but then the act of getting into politics in the college is very appealing due to which they
form a gang called studs. Leading them from the front is Rahul (Sikandar Kher) and the spoiled
brats are keen on the new role.
However, the thought of campaigning seems too inconvenient and they end up with a more smarted
idea of going on a medical camp to one of the rural districts in Maharashtra to escape the
election headache. Finally, they do land up at the village and what they come across hits them
real hard on their face. The country they have known and the country they are seeing is a
stark contrast and slowly but surely, a soul searching journey begins from inside. Soon, the
situations in the village engulf them and each of them comes out with their true colors. And
what happens hereafter is to be seen on the screen.
Performances:
In this movie the Sikander Kher has turned out to be a disappointment in the movie with just
attitude and style and no real performance. Gul Panag did her best. The script was bad and the
screenplay was poor, not much happened from the music and the camera departments, the songs
were just a bore and unwanted, camera could not get much from the locations or the artistes,
editing was completely numb. and made few decent marks, Uvika, Alekh and others wasted a good
opportunity. Ashutosh Rana ,Divya Dutta and Vikram Gokhale were the saving grace in the film.
Neetu Chandra's item number was uncalled for. The others did their bit mechanically and did
not have much to add value.
