Kidnap - Time for a nap!

The girl who is kidnapped, is the daughter of a tycon (Sanjay Dutt) who is worth 50 billion dollars! The girl Minissha is sweetly taken away with her wardrobe to the kidnapper’s den. The young girl keeps hopping in and out of songs in her ever skimpier bikinis on the beaches. Imran tries to look all menacing with that uneven stubble and a tanned look. His occasional stares at the girl’s assets seldom worry her.

Film: KIDNAP
Director: Sanjay Gadhvi
Actors: Sanjay Dutt, Minissha Lamba, Imran Khan, Vidya Malvade, Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, Rahul Dev, Reema Lagoo, Sophie Choudry, Raj Zutshi
Rating: 2/5

The girl is ready to anything for him, provided he takes her for another trip to the beach for yet another song (for the audience’s benefit!)  The girl has been with him for only 3 days and she realizes that it is her parents’ holiday home and she goes telling the kidnapper that he has kidnapped her in her own home. Wonder what is this all about? Well keep trying to figure that one out!

The mother of the girl is Vidya Mallavde (remember the captain of Chak De India!) and the grandmom is Reema Lagoo. The mother looks prettier than the daughter for one and it seems the bollywood has changed the age slots for actresses to pose as mom and grandmom!

The father is the meanwhile trying to locate the abductor and instructs his secretary to provide him with ‘mere dushmanon ka list banao’.  Then there is this wild goose chasing with the tycoon posing as policeman in a jail, and there as a fireman.

Despite all these series of running all over the place there is no sign of rescuing the girl.  The kidnapper conveys that he wants to collect crisp notes and there is an exchange of cryptic messages as ‘akkar bakkar bame bo’.  They seem meaningless till the end.

The film is actually about a young kid trying to take a revenge on a rich man who got him jailed for stealing a car.

The filmmaker says this movie would not have been made if Sanjay Dutt had turned down the offer. Now we really know who to blame for making us suffer this one.  But what is the point, it is going happen again down the line and we will get to suffer more in these series.. I shudder to think of a sequel for this one!
