Sunday on a saturday !

After much deliberation, we decided to watch the movie which many critics deemed 'ordinary'. The movie boasted of an impressive star cast with some of the best contemporary actors in hindi cinema like Ajay Devgan, Irfan Khan and Arshad Warsi.
Yes, we saw 'Sunday' on a cold Saturday night and to be frank, the movie was quite entertaining and not as bad as people (read reviewers) made us believe. I heard from my telugu speaking friends that this was a remake of telugu hit movie 'anukokunda okka roju'.
The movie starts off introducing the 'plump' Ayesha Takia (yes, she looks fat) dubbing in different voices for an animated movie. Ajay Devgan is a corrupt police officer (or an efficient police officer who accepts bribes?). Arshad Warsi and Irfan Khan also get decent introductions and enough sequences in the film to make their presence felt.
The movie's plot is something like this. Ayesha Takia gets harrassed in pub/discotheque (or whatever) by a couple of blokes who mix a drug in her drink. She looses her consciousness and a day from her calendar. She fails to remember what happened to her on the Sunday and everybody in the movie get linked together as they are involved in the events that happened on the Sunday.
The movie has its funny moments and can defnitely get you to smile (if not laugh). The movie does have it's cliches and the unnecessary action sequences though. The revelation was however the assistant to Ajay Devgan who does have a good comic sense.
The movie has it's fair share of suspense too and can keep you hooked till the last scene. The songs are good, if not great, and the makers have ensured that the songs arent that long. The climax song could have been picturised better. The whole movie is shot in Delhi and one wonders if the capital is as good as the movie shows it to be.
Finally, this is a decent entertainer and was worth the time and energy spent in getting to cineworld in bad weather. It is defnitely a much better movie than 'Welcome', which went on to become a hit.
