Review: Vivek delivers one of his finest performances in ‘Prince’

Vivek Oberoi starrer ‘Prince’ is clearly inspired by Aamir’s ‘Ghajini’, where the hero struggles with memory loss. Director Kookie Gulati’s flick has everything that makes it a Box Office success. Written by Shiraz Ahmed of ‘Race’ fame, the film has high adrenaline action sequences by Allan Amin and scintillating music by Sachin Gupta. Yet, the only glitch to the Box Office success of ‘Prince’ can be its wobbly script.

Vivek Oberoi starrer ‘Prince’ is clearly inspired by Aamir’s ‘Ghajini’, where the hero struggles with memory loss. Director Kookie Gulati’s flick has everything that makes it a Box Office success. Written by Shiraz Ahmed of ‘Race’ fame, the film has high adrenaline action sequences by Allan Amin and scintillating music by Sachin Gupta. ‘Prince’ is the story of a thief, who commits one of the biggest robberies of his life. However, when he wakes up the next morning, he discovers gunfire wound on his arm and a memory loss. From here onwards the journey of our hero begins, who is set to discover his real identity. Gradually, he comes to know that his name is Prince and he works for Sarang. Also, the name of his girlfriend is Maya. Hunted by the CBI and one of the biggest crime lords in the world, Prince is chased by all as he is the only one who knows the whereabouts of the stolen goods. In the meantime, Prince meets a string of women who claim to be the love of his life - Maya, with each having a different version to truth. ‘Prince’ uses some of the finest locales that translate well on screen, director Kookie Gulati’s vision for the magnificent and the opulent is quite visible and the high action sequences offer a rare visual treat. Even so, ‘Prince’ completely fails when it comes to keep the interests of viewers alive. Though the chase sequences are extremely sleek, Prince’s desperation to reclaim his lost identity becomes cumbersome after a point. In all, with ‘Prince’, Vivek Oberoi has given one of his finest performances. The dramatic sequences and stunts are simply superb. Coming to female leads, Nandana, Neeru and Aruna are quite effective. Yet, the only glitch to the Box Office success of ‘Prince’ can be its wobbly script. Rating: Three cheers for this one!
