8x10 Tasveer movie review
It seems that bollywood' s latest addiction is photography. After 'Aa dekhe zara' last week '8*10 Tasveer ' is also a concoction supernatural power & photography. This times it's not the camera but our own dear ' padam shree ' akki himself who has the ability of time traveling
whenever he peeks to a photograph (?) .
Jai Puri (Akshay) is a forest ranger in Canada. For over a year he is having a live in relationship with Sheela (Takia) and staying separately from his parents Jatin (Benjamin Gilani) and Savitri (Sharmila Tagore) because he doesn’t approve of his father’s business dealings.Jai can look at any photograph and can actually go (actually his spirit used to visit) right into that moment when it was actuall

Starting of the movie is well. But soon slow pace faded down that wellness , though it is intentional to go slow.The premise of the movie & settings keeps on getting more & more grabbing & interesting & some superb shots keeps you binded , It is almost like watching a Hollywood suspense thriller . But the whole premise get crazy free during the last 30 minutes in what appears like a ever lasting climaxWith the big suspense tumbling out and the reasons given by the murderer appearing far from convincing, you stop taking it seriously. But one can admit, the identity of the murderer is indeed very shocking and something that even the biggest of suspense fil

But that doesn't prevent u from giving credit & praise to Kukunoor who truely deserves it
. His interval point is really grabbing u can almost wish that it shouldn't came at that point
. kukunoor again rocks though this time at a lower note.
Akshay Kumar deserves a bow for taking the risk to be a part of such an unusual project. He has acted sincerely and given it his all Ayesha Takia is back in form and impresses. Javed Jaffrey is simply superb right from his entry to exit. Girish Karnad makes a rare appearance and is good as usual. Sharmila Tagore lends grace to her character. Anant Mahadevan and Rushad Rana are good as well. The actress playing Javed Jaffrey’s nurse ex-girlfriend is natural.
The film hardly has scope for music and thankfully songs are kept minimized. The background score by Salim Suleiman successfully elevates the thrill element.
One can easily go & watch it. He won't feel that his money is been robbed .Movie is a good thriller & a paisa vasool.
8X10 Tasveer" stars Akshay Kumar as Jai, a man with a special ability. Straying away from the Bollywood comic norm, "8X10" is a supernatural thriller with Akshay Kumar starring as a man who can go back into the past of the deceased by touching one of their objects.
Akshay Kumar’s friends are skeptical at his supposed power and his father, Jatin, feel like he should be managing the family business rather than focusing on his "so called" power. The constant struggle between Jai and his father has destroyed their relationship. Jai’s mother can’t stand being apart from her son so she goes behind Jatin’s back to see him.
When Jatin is killed in a mysterious accident, Akshay Kumar holds on to a photograph and delv

Along with Akshay Kumar, the film stars Ayesha Takia who plays his wife Sheela, the love of his life. Sharmila Tagore, and Javed Jaffery. A.R. Rahman follows up his Oscar award winning soundtrack for "Slumdog Millionaire" by working on the 8X10 soundtrack. Also featured on the soundtrack is Bohemia, a US-based desi rapper.
Nagesh Kukunoor (previous films include "Bollywood Calling" and "Iqbal"); director of the film set the filmed in Calgary, Canada. Fans of Akshay Kumar will be surprised by the role as Kumar is taking on a different type of role, one with sci-fi/thriller elements. According to Kumar, "Nagesh’s film is definitely a change from what I am used to doing. But after that, I’m going back to action and then comedy. " When asked what type of film he enjoys doing the most he says, "Each has its own fun and challenges. Action’s my all time favorite though."
