It did not disappoint.

Basic plot: A fashion photographer takes a bunch of female models to an uninhibited island for a calendar photoshoot where everyone except the photographer ends up missing or dead. What happened to them forms the mystery of the plot.

My review: I came across this movie on an OTT platform. Figured it was a low budget trash and decided to watch it for sh!ts and giggles. It did not disappoint me.

It's one of those 'so bad it's good' kind of movie (thus the 5/10 rating). I was giggling throughout over how bad everything was.

And I mean everything. The story, screenplay, direction, cinematography, editing, songs, singing, music, choreography, acting....well, you get the idea.

Atleast the screenplay seemed competent to begin with but by the end it turned out to be trash as well. I assumed there would atleast be some big twist or revelation at the climax, but.....nothing. It was as if someone lost the last few pages of the script and the director didn't even realise it and decided to end the movie right there.

The main character, the photographer played by Tilak, romances literally every one of the models, but for some reason has two duet songs with just one of them. Those songs just pop up randomly when you least expect it.

The songs sound as if they were recorded underwater while some amateurish band played them outside the water.

The cinematography and editing is just intercuts of random scenery which has nothing to do with what's going on in the screenplay. There's also those typical Indian soap style camera zoom and pans with the whooshing sound effects.

Oh, I shouldn't forget those photo shoots. It actually makes up something like half the movie's runtime. It happens to be just shots after shots of bikini-clad models making awkward poses while the horny cameraman focuses mainly on their crotches, navels and breasts but unfortunately not enough on their butts. A couple of those models are even decent looking.

One of the funniest scene for me was where the models are indulging in debauchery on a beach and some random passerby comes up to them and slaps just the ugliest one among them before giving them a lecture on proper behaviour.

The makers have roped in Jackie Shroff for a role, which I'm guessing is for publicity. He looks like a fish out of water doing overacting in some scenes and underacting in others. The guy doing voice over for him does the same too.

If I was forced to say one good thing about this movie, I would say it was Tilak's acting, but that's because the bar is so low already.

I tried to do some research before writing this review and I couldn't find a single review for this movie on the entire internet. Maybe I'm the only person who has watched this abomination until now.

So, I'll just say.....first.
