It's Showtime

The picture below is not for comparison; it's just to enjoy the spirit of PRINCE

I was waiting for a long time to write something on this cool movie but got stuck with Artificial Intelligence paper. The coolness of movie can't be expressed by a mere blog post but a detailed thesis can be done for it. This movie will be remembered for years not for showing high profile intelligent diamond heists but for setting benchmarks for making a perfect action movie.

 First of all let me congratulate the producer on having the intellectual capacity to not add a kooky subtitle in an attempt to make it ‘hip’ and ‘happening’. Something like ‘Prince – The Yuvraaj’ or ‘Prince – The Raja’ or ‘Prince – Ek Chota Rajputra Ki Badi Kahani’.

Main attraction of the movie : Tattooed version of Nandana Sen , a villian named Sarang that has a Terminator style super arm.Vivek Oberoi as the lead "Prince" has the easiest role, his lack of acting prowess is shielded by the repeated head-holding and falling-on-ground sequences 

 The movie opens with a shot of the heavily secure swanky multi-storey headquarters of the Diamond Corporation of India(DCOI), which has more gadgetry and security systems than the FBI and CIA put together. Let us put behind us that there are such establishments in the country and also the fact that they offer free tours of their security systems to every dork disguised as a sardar.

He then suits up in the lamest leather available and hides in the air-ducts, not before uttering the 2nd best line of the movie,"I’m in and it’s time to win“. After having navigated laser beams, fingerprint mechanisms he uses a laser pen to cut through a window, which in the previous scene was described to be strong enough to resist a powerful bomb blast. That’s not it, for there’s a giant vacuum cleaner that doubles as a periscope and reaches the top floor window from a van outside. You’d assume that he’d just bag the diamonds and then drop them into the van, but in what is the flavor of the season they are vacuumed into the van from the top floor of a multi-storey building. Just so that you can estimate the height of the building, in the very next scene while being chased by the guards, Prince base-jumps of the building and pulls the ripcord of his parachute to land safely on the van. If you’re reading this with your mouth wide open, then hold on to that expression for a while. This was only the opening sequence before the titles take over and Atif Aslam wakes you up from the CGI-induced slumber. “Oh mere khuda” indeed, but only for making such a movie with the craziest indipop album type music video.

Prince suddenly wakes up with a bullet lodged in his arm, unable to remember a thing and the only thing worse than his lame expressions is lines like “main kaun hoon, main kahan hoon..........Meri yadaasht aachanak kaise chali gayi”.

Prince is now sought after by the CBI and two white collar dons for he posses information about “The coin”.So if you’re wondering how Jason Bourne finds the coin and takes it to destroy it, then you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Turns out that there are three women vying for his attention claiming to be romantically involved, each with an even interesting back story.What is even more interesting is that each of them is named Maya and has an ulterior motive with the coin in question.
Now we have Maya-1, a  club dancer and Maya-2, a CBI officer. As Maya-2 enters she proves maya-1 as fake, later Maya-2 double crosses Prince as she is a partner of our Terminator villian but before anything happens to Prince,  Maya-3 has a introduction scene where she rains bullets from machine guns strapped to a hand-glider, followed by more bullet rains , bike flying sequences that will give complexion to Rajni and BalaKrishna. Maya-3 presents us with a killer back story where in, she and Prince collude with the CBI to stage the funkiest robbery ever known. Turns out the coin is a facade for carrying a embedded chip developed by the country’s top biotechnologists, and it enables downloading the entire contents of the human brain downloading the entire contents of the human brain only to replicate them and upload them into another. Prince is strapped to a chair and his brain is mapped using the chip, the progress of which seems to go faster than what it takes winrar to install on a machine. What about the fact that the human brain can store  terabytes worth of data, were they lying of is Prince pulling a fast one on you? I found it weird at first but then realized that if you’ve signed a movie like this then surely you only have enough grey matter than can be downloaded under two-minutes. That explains how they did an format disk on him and the so-called seizures he gets. The reason I use computer jargon here is because, it is the closest to equating system-crashes and reboots to his brain trying multiple unsuccessful auto-restore.

More unintentional comedy ensues with Bond style chases, gunfights and CGI-mockery before he finally finds the coin everyone is after. This is where Maya-1 gets bumped off  not before the best line the movie is used, “maine uske aankhon mein laalach ka virus scan kar liya tha”.
An absurd climax sees Maya-3 decimate Maya-2,  while Jason Bourne and our Terminator Villian engage in a duel on an overturned vehicle going downstream which is drifting into a humongous waterfall.  Prince rips apart the iron-fist and uses his mini-harpoon to cling onto a nearby chopper, leaving Sarang to fall to his fate.

I know by now nobody even cares but it’s time to pick up the shattered pieces of our brains around the chair and recover from his high tech heist saga that will be unforgettable for many years unless it's sequel comes.


A note to all CBZ/Karizma lovers who are mostly fans of Vivek Oberoi as well, doing a wheelie while with your girl too on bike then looking romantically in her eyes is not probably the best idea because you may want to keep an eye on the road as well.

आँखें हटी,दुर्घटना घटी  

Lastly, I don't care now of writing a crap blog post because there are people who could have donated money to noble cause rather than investing 50 crore bucks in making the lamest Desi-Matrix till date.
