A bad Sunday!

It is not a wise idea to watch Sunday on any day of the week, says Anita Iyer.
The movie Sunday revolves around Sehar (Ayesha Takia), a comic dubbing artiste whose world turns upside down knowing that a particular Sunday is missing from her life. Sehar in the movie tends to forget about happenings in her life and that causes a lot of chaos and confusion. To give her respite, ACP Rajveer (Ajay Devgan), a dishonest Police official resolves to crack the case. In the way of locating the lost Sunday, Rajveer comes across a murder case which passes gestures of Sehar being the murderer. Is Sehar really a murderer or innocent as she claims is the real climax of the story.


The other star cast in the movie includes Ballu (Arshad Warsi) a taxi driver and his friend (Irfan Khan) a struggling actor who carries the roles of Ravana, Draculla, Dons and the hilarious Himesh Reshamiya. The emotional punch of Arshad Warsi suffering from Kidney disorder was redundant and doesn’t fit the story line at all.


The second half revolves around the mystery of two murders in the movie and it is disappointing rather than surprising in the end to find the murder. The whole movie seems to be shot in Delhi with beautiful historical landscapes in the background


The first half of the movie has great comic timing with marvellous performances by Arshad Warsi and Irfan Khan proves that he can shoulder comic roles too. All the songs in the movie are out of place and have no relevance to the movie what so ever, only the title track ‘Sunday’ manages to groove the audiences. Even the choreography by Ganesh Acharya is not worth talking about and fails to impress.


Known for his comic movie “Golmaal – Fun Unlimited”, Rohit Shetty doesn’t quite succeed to tickle the funny bone this time with Sunday. Although Shetty has teamed up the best actors, it fails to guarantee success at the box office.
