Movie Review: 8×10 Tasveer

Executive Producer / Co-Producer: Elahe Hiptoola
Director: Nagesh Kukunoor
Story Writer: Nagesh Kukunoor
Star Cast: Akshay Kumar, Ayesha Takia, Sharmila Tagore, Javed Jaffrey, Girish Karnad,
Anant Mahadevan, Benjamin Gilani, Rushad Rana, Utara Pawkar
Lyricist: Irfan Siddique, Sameer, Bohemia
Music Director: Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant, Neeraj Shridhar, Bohemia

“8×10 Tasveer” is a supernatural suspense thriller where the hero possessing supernatural powers tries to find out the reason behind his father’s death. The film starts in a fine way to get you interested but the second half of the film is extended and the climax part is disappointing. Performance of Akshay Kumar in the film is very different from his previous movies as for the first time his facial expressions are very serious. Music of the movie is ok. Most of the shots of the film have been taken in a Hollywood style as the story of the film is based in Canada.
