When you’re about to go for a movie that you know can be potentially disastrous, go with absolutely no expectations at all. With Bhram, we went with the zero expectations and still came out extremely disappointed.
As the credits begin to flash on screen, you might think that the film deals with the lives of the rich and the glamorous. We see models whose acting skills have nothing to write home about and gay designers who only make exaggerated feline gestures. But this isn’t what the story is about in the beginning, the middle or even the end!
A happy-go-lucky bachelor, Shaan (Dino Morea) won’t settle down easily. But when fate brings him face-to-face with Antra (Sheetal Menon), a disturbed model with a shady past, he is suddenly intrigued. Not only is he in love but he is also miraculously willing to commit. And so after popping the question, he decides to introduce her to his brother Dev (Milind Soman) and sister-in-law (Simone Singh).
Just when things seem like they couldn’t get peachier, Shaan’s entire world is turned upside-down. Antra accuses Dev of a heinous crime which she insists she had witnessed as a kid. Thereon the film abruptly takes us to the scenic Kulu and Manali where Shaan tries to get to the bottom of things with the help of his friend Prem (Chetan Hansraj).
It is highly disappointing to see characters in the movie being so badly portrayed. The performances are abysmal and Simone Singh, despite being the best thing in the movie has too small a role to make a difference. Sheetal Menon is by far the worst model-turned-actress. Dino is probably the only ‘interesting’ thing in the film.
Director Pavan Kaul has outdone himself in this trashy so-called thriller. The scenes are loosely strung and the use of different colour tones to show the past and the present seems absolutely unnecessary.
The use of the word Bhram is quite frivolous and the dialogues, repetitive. You’re bombarded with the philosophy that life is an illusion and it can come crashing down any minute. The first half on the other hand drags.
With music that is strictly okay, cinematography that could have been better, we recommend you watch this movie with an anti-depressant near at hand. The only redeeming factor for this film is that Bhram attempts to play with a theme and style that can only be perfected with further experimentation.
