'Prince' boasts some of the most involving special effects ever conceived by Bollywood. Of course there isn't really any acting to speak of, although Aruna Shields and Nandana Sen get to chew Vivek and scenery, the dialogue is pretty much what you'd expect. There is a tremendous amount of shooting and running. You could build a large pond just from the adrenaline we see expended in the course of the movie. Most of the film is good enough that way - dumb, but not boring. But does it have to be so witless, so stupid, so openly contemptuous of the very audience it's supposed to be pandering to? Not by a long shot.
The film borrows heavily from Hollywood's 'Crank'. Prince (Vivek Oberoi) wakes up one morning with a severe bout of amnesia and a gunshot wound on his arm. He realises that he is being simultaneously hounded by the CBI, India's secret service and a shadowy criminal organisation. He also finds out that he has committed the biggest crime in the history of the universe and embedded in his brain is a secret that threatens the ENTIRE human race. Three scantily clad girls (Nandana Sen, Aruna Shields and Neeru Bajwa) wag their tongues and claim to be his girlfriend Maaya. And if it all weren't uncomfortable enough already, Prince finds out that he has only five days to live. Will our hero vanquish the villains and save the human race? Watch the film before acute anticipation turns you into a squeezed lemon.
Action director Allan Aamin and cinematographer Vishnu Rao are the real stars of 'Prince' - if there's anyone who deserves Aruna Shields in a bikini its them. Oscar winner Resul Pookutty's sound design matches big budget Hollywood standards. Editor Nicolas Trembasiewicz could as well have been dropped considering there is no escape from Sachin Gupta's music. Director Kookie Gulati's concept is cookie, he seems so pleased with the fact that he came up with a thinly plausible pretext for this clash of the visual effects that he didn't bother to develop the characters or fashion a plot with any suspense.
