Review : Fever

Fever, hits the silver screens today. Fever stars Rajeev Khandelwal and Gauhar Khan in lead roles.

Fever is about a contract killer who loses his memory in an accident. After which he wakes up knowing only his name and the company of a woman who wants to help this person to regain his identity.

With each passing day the two women, unknown to each other’s presence, guide Armin’s mind to the depth of the abyss. It is almost as if they are scared of his memory and what it will reveal.

As the train of memory emerges from the tunnel of Armin’s mind, he is able to assess the fact that these two women are playing a deadly game of hide and seek with him. Unfortunately for him, the end of the game could be his own!

In a narrative akin to the complexity of a psychological thriller; with traces of the neo-noir style, this is a story which delves into the recesses of reasoning. The quintessential mystery which packs in breathtaking locales, character-ridden houses, beautiful women adventure, desire, intrigue, drama and love!

It is hard to forgive good actors when they reduce themselves to such parts. Rajeev, who was mesmeric in his role, still remains a one-time wonder in Bollywood. Gauahar isn't half bad. Bond girl Caterina Murino and Gemma Atkinson were wasted.

But in this case, Rajeev Jhaveri's incoherent and cliche-ridden script plays the spoiler. Added to that, he packs the movie to the brim with corny dialogues.
