Absolutely Fantastic
A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
I see you is an enjoyable film. Arjun stars in this supernatural story,and as a lead actor,it's a remarkable film of his compared to the others. Raj Jaswant,bachelor and a famous TV channel host in London,comes across a lady who says she can be seen.heard and felt only by him.Initially not believing it,Raj soon discovers it to be true.He then goes along with her to find out how she has attained this ghostly state,and how he can help her,only to learn that thongs are more complex than what appears to be, and she soon falls in love with him.The concept,authentic or borrowed(From Mohanlal's "Vismayathumbaththu" maybe) is good.Music is beat tapping,choreography is remarkable.Arjun does a fair job.That's why I've given 8 on 10. The sad thing is this film would've probably done better if it had released in the 90's.Such concept is not what people want now I believe. Anyway,it's a near 2 hour entertainer. And don't look for logic.It's a supernatural kind of film,not practical.Just see and enjoy!
"I See You" is a remake of the Reese Witherspoon/Mark Ruffalo film "Just Like Heaven". While the film does have its flaws, it is not by any means the worst film to come out of Bollywood that has been 'inspired' by a Hollywood film. Arjun Rampal stars as Raj Jaiswal, the host of the successful NRI show British Raj. He moves into a new apartment but soon finds that it is being haunted by a ghost, Shivani Dutt (Vipasha Agarwal) that only he can see, the catch is, she's not a ghost but a doctor who is in a coma after an accident. His friends ponder his senility, but his close friend Akshay (Chunky Pandey) supports him as much as he can. Shivani informs him of a plot that involves doctors stealing and harvesting organs of healthy patients at her hospital.The story has it's flaws, for one, the added story line of the harvesting of organs isn't really needed and doesn't contribute to the story being a romantic comedy. It actually does nothing for the story overall. If they had stuck with the original story, the film would have worked more. At certain points, it is unclear which story line is the central plot.The location and setting is a tired one. The film is set in London but it could have been pulled off in Mumbai or any other Indian city. There is little charm in the way London has been used and the location never fully comes alive.The acting is far from perfect and very flawed. Arjun Rampal manages to carry the film but because the film is heavily flawed and unnecessary, his character tends to replicate that fact. He has persona and charisma, but not enough to make this film work or enough to make it a pleasurable experience. Vipasha Agarwal sleepwalks through her performance and isn't worth a second glance. It is because of her that the film suffers, there is little chemistry between her and Rampal even though he tries his hardest to make it work. The supporting co-stars don't do much but the stand outs are Chunky Pandey as Akshay who is Raj Jaiswal's best friend and Michael Maloney who plays Inspector John Smith, the English Hindi speaking detective investigating Shivani's accident.The writing is un-inspired and the direction is useless. This film joins the ranks of other cheap knock offs that help hold back Indian (or rather Bollywood) cinema rather than allow it to flourish. The high point for some will be the ten second cameo's by Shahrukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, but at the end of the day, it is their cameos that are selling the film. Not the story, not the writing, not the director and certainly not the actors.4/10: "Just Like Heaven" is far superior over this tripe, even though it is quite a mediocre film itself.
***It has spoilers about (Just Like Heaven - 2005) Too***The Indian cinema makes about 900 movies per year ! So when they remake many American movies I don't blame them at all ! The American cinema itself used to remake a lot of its movies or others' movies, so the thing isn't the idea of the remake as an evident of insolvency inasmuch as it's the quality of it first ! Here it's a remake of an American one (produced 1 year earlier !) named (Just Like Heaven) which seemed like optimistic comic copy of (Ghost - 1990) yet it was genuine and fair. However the Indian one has no recognition about the original source of its story !! How they gonna deal with the American copy protect ?? It's not my problem ! My problem IS the script of this movie ! It just told us everything from the start including the state of the female doctor as alive in a coma ! That was one hell of a surprise at the original ! So blowing it up like this maybe was to give hope to the audience so they'll guess the happy ending YET this script must compensate it by another thrilling surprises, good comedy or tender romance but the ugly truth is that there isn't almost anything of the above in here ! I thought that they made some changes to create more profound movie. For example the hero/young man became here an announcer in some entertaining TV show maybe to make an ironic situation about the doctor's ghost (as a scientist who'll ask him to believe in fantasy and to judge by his heart), and him (as someone works at the business of art as less imaginative and more materialistic man; namely blinded by the liar flashes of his world) but I was such a naive ! Because the movie disappointed all of that ambitious depths ! Like the wonderful scene when she makes him walk blinded to see clearly, to feel the reality of humans and things, to be more sensitive or to be "lighter" just like her (as we all want to be : a pellucid spiritual humans) but unfortunately it was just slight scene in flood of boredom ! So now when I look at the reason why they didn't bother themselves making some CGI to show her like a transparent ghost I don't think that it was a trick to make us focus on the events as love story with philosophical meanings..NO my dears.. It was maybe a trick to cut the budget ! Probably you'll never stand the gullibility of that script like : why the sprite came to him in particular ?! (he didn't rent her flat as the original !), when he went to the hospital as a doctor to steal the body he didn't even disguise (not to mention that he's working as a TV announcer for one popular show !), when she forced him to kidnap her body from the hospital to save her from the evil doctor, she (as a doctor herself) didn't do a thing to cure herself ! Instead of that she begged him to leave the body so they could BOTH go to a party thus we have the opportunity to watch one big hot dancing number !!, it was weak link between the British officer and the sidekick (just to find out who robbed the ambulance !), she was the one who makes the officer see the body because she loved that announcer and now she wants no troubles for him !?? (Actually that what will bring the troubles for him !), though when the officer discovered the truth he didn't accuse him of anything ?!, if she knew about the real crimes of that doctor why didn't she (as a ghost) unearth some proofs at the hospital so our very hero and his idiot friend make some thrilling comic mess till they expose the crimes.. or anything instead of that poor climax (the officer catches the criminal so easily !), and at last it's too much already to add how stupid & slow the way that the felon doctor was trying to kill his colleague with, during her coma !!! The acting was near to horrible ! (Arjun Rampal) wasn't a comedian or trying to be one ! Being so dull like a male model in a fashion show !, (Vipasha Agarwal) isn't pretty at all yet she was definitely better than him as an actress but with a script gave her nothing to do except to smile all the time!, and being in very fabricated romantic scenes like when he was losing her at the end, thinking that she was dying..she was talking sadly about her being a ghost all her life before the accident ! In fact that was important storyline in the original movie which had absolutely no presence here ! So what the hell she was talking about??!, and the officer's personality ? It looked at the start like inspector (Clouseau) then turned out to be mixed up between being funny or serious ! and what about the matter of making the whole movie in England where the announcer, his crew, the doctor, the receptionist of hospital are all Indians !? (with English officer who can also speak Indian !). Despite the well-meaning message of it, and the too many Indian guest stars (like Shahrukh Khan as a guitar player in the street !??) this as an Indian movie was wretched and inferior, and as a remake it wasn't a romantic comedy as the original but a romantic silliness ! So my advise to its makers : Please watch more movies !
I watched this recently in India expecting a lot because it was Arjun Rampal, but who knew he would choose a film this crappy? It had few lines of comedy and hit songs, but besides that the story is dull.It's about a talk show host Raj, played by arjun rampal, who lives in Britain. He's a lady's man and can get any lady in a snap. But then when he sees a mysterious lady on his balcony claiming to be somewhat of a spirit. But she's not dead because her bodies in a coma from a accident. Raj is the only one that can see and hear her. She befriends Raj and seeks his help to uncover the truths of her so called "accident". Through out everyone thinks Raj's crazy because he's talking to himself and dancing with himself.A remake of Just Like Heaven, which can't even entertain you for more than ten minutes. The only thing that entertained me was Chunky Pandey's scenes with over emotional wife and the songs.Gaurenteed FLOP.
