If a picture speaks a thousand words, the writers of this film have made the characters speak each of those words. Nothing is left to chance or interpretation. We are shown and told through the voice in Ray’s (Neil Nitin Mukesh) head that the camera he has inherited from his grandfather takes picture that can tell the future.

The out of work photographer casts his artistry aside and uses the
camera for personal gain. It’s an idea others also have, except Ray’s DJ girlfriend Simi (Bipasha Basu). As cops and robbers try to grab the camera, Ray and Simi try to change their destiny.

The script is so full of holes you can sieve tea through it. The performances are largely wooden (Rahul Dev, Sophie Chaudhary included). Basu is styled like she’s 14 and mopes around a lot. Mukesh appears ill at ease. He could do with some dancing lessons and with learning that acting goes way beyond angling yourself for the camera.

The filmmakers could have done with a future photo of March 27 to see the fate of their film. As it is, the future’s not bright for Aa Dekhen Zara (or for the Jumper inspired sign off indicating the possibility of a sequel).
