MOVIE REVIEW
Radio



Hot RJ (Himesh) gets divorced with his wife Pooja (Sonal) on her firmness because she feels they lacked compatibility. Though, they continue to remain friends. This leaves him completely confused in his daily life. He meets Shanaya Dhingra (Shenaz) in a misapprehend situation and ends up insulting her. But more chance meetings later, they end up becoming good friends. Shanaya ends up being a ray of sunshine in Vivan's boring personal life. But Shanaya and Vivan's friendship leads to Pooja getting awfully envious. Situation becomes more complicated for Vivan as Shanaya's parents mistake him for being their daughter's boyfriend. Then there is also a reality show on Vivan's radio channel which has Shanaya posing as his lover. What all further convoluted confusions it all leads forms the rest of this entirely confused movie!

The thing that you keep realizing while watching Radio is that, more than its characters, it's the makers who are more puzzled and convoluted! All those, ‘3 weeks later', ‘few hours later' make it unintentionally very funny. There is however a decent attempt at trying to convey an individual situation of many an urban couple's lives. But then again unnecessary songs and situations that over stay their time limit, bungle it all up. Director Ishan Trivedi delivered a light hearted humorous comedy with his debut directorial venture 7 ½ Phere and was quiet entertaining. But alas, same can't be said about Radio.

The movie attempts to be too cool in every department and ends up getting all messed up.

The climax also is extra extended and you actually lose interest as to who is going to end up with what!

Himesh tries and succeeds in putting up a better act than his last two acting ventures. Shenaz is wonderful. Sonal despite a good screen presence fails to impress but the fault lies with her puzzled characterization. Zakir Hussain playing Shenaz's father has his funny moments. Rajesh Khattar as Himesh's boss is nice.

Paresh Rawal in a special appearance is a disappointment.

The only one department which leaves you mighty impressed is Himesh's music. Mann Ka Radio, Teri Meri Dosti Ka and Zindagi Jaise Ek Radio being the pick of the lot.

It is an average movie. Radio is only for Himesh fans.
