Product Description
Ishwar Chandra Thakur and Sumitra both adore their only son, Aditya. Having come up the hard way, Ishwar feels his son deserves nothing but the best and Adi shamelessly takes total advantage of his father s love for him. As far as Ishwar is concerned, Adi can do no wrong and even when he elopes with the girl of his choice Pooja, the father forgives him readily. Adi on his part has only one obsession -- to become a star and is least interested in joining his father s successful toy business. Everything is going smoothly for Adi... Pooja is going to have a baby... everybody is excited and happy... Adi is busy training for his contest... when suddenly catastrophe strikes. Aditya is thrown out of his luxurious house and forced to stay in a shabby outhouse. Adi is puzzled and consoles himself that his father is playing some kind of a cruel joke. But his hurt turns to fury when he realizes that his parents have no intention of relenting.

Synopsis
Adi, a spoilt only child, takes advantage of his father's unconditional love and elopes with Pooja. His dream of becoming a star, however, is suddenly hindered when he is thrown out of his luxurious apartment, and for once, his parents are not going to bail him out...

3.0 out of 5 stars Average Bollywood that dances (or teeters) the line between comedy and drama, 2 Jun 2009
By Lyn "musicolit" (Melbourne Australia) - See all my reviews
This movie is about a father who is a now-wealthy self-made man (Amitabh Bachchan) with only one child (Akshay Kumar)- a son whose every whim he has indulged. Son marries on the sly to daughter (Priyanka Chopra) of one of Dad's friends who Dad has a comic relationship with of constant one-upmanship. There is also a loyal servant who is so simple minded that its hard to see how he manages to do all the household tasks as he apparently does.
The new wife gets pregnant early and son is showing no sign of growing up (wanting to keep spending his fathers money on fun, and having dreams of being a celebrity rather than going into Dad's business). Son doesn't know father is dying and mother finally persuades father to stop the money flow so son can grow up and be ready for fatherhood. Son is cast out of the house and is angry (not knowing that dad is dying). The race is for the son to make some money but more than this: a race in what remains of Dads time alive.
This movie looks good and has some major actors but I didn't connect with it. Akshay's character was almost too superficial and princely and one asks whether just being given things spoils someone. If he has 2 parents of good character why didn't he collect some of their attitudes. Of course Dad overreacts in the end as well as not giving son the full story, and the son digs in stubbornly (to the father they had him adoring right up to this point). This undermined the drama for me.
In addition to this they kept putting comic bits in and were playing it as a comedy earlier then we have the dying stuff come in and it didn't read as melodrama with the lighter bits through it.
Priyanka wasn't really used much and has a lot more to her than seen here. Akshay also has more depth and perhaps that's why I found it hard to accept him in this role. Amitabh was playing fun-loving genial father as required for the part and was fine enough. The father-son relationship was also played warmly by both Amitabh and Akshay. Boman Irani and Rajpal Yadav play for comedy.
They put effort into the musical numbers but they didn't remain with me (and I suspect the dance steps were a bit limited by Amitabh's dancing range.)
Now while my reaction was a bit lukewarm to this, elsewhere on the Net it tends to average a bit above average (e.g. 7 out of 10). However people seem to polarise as well: quite a few loving it with full marks and others hating it and giving it very low figures.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waqt - The race against falling asleep!, 16 Oct 2006
By Balraj Gill (Slough, Berkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
I cannot believe that the Indian film industry still puts out such dross as Waqt. For starters, the storyline is totally implausible - spoilt son gets thrown out of family home so as to teach him some self-sufficiency. So what does he do? He promptly goes on to win some national talent contest by doing some star jumps in front of a panel of judges (I honestly am not joking here). In the meantime, his dad is dying of lung cancer, but keeps it a secret from the son, but he survives long enough to see his son become famous, to see his new grandson and also make a new toy giraffe with his own hands.

The acting is cringe worthy in its hamminess - no effort was made to try and act in any convincing manner by any of the main players in this film. As usual for Indian films, the family lived in a huge mansion and seemed relatively untouched by the concerns of the real world.

To be honest, the main losers when such dire films are made are the intelligent viewers who made the mistake of seeing such a film. The actors, such as Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar, will still be revered as Gods by those people who have nothing but blind faith in Bollywood.
