Absolutely this AASHAYEIN has no Hopes at the Box office!
A home for the sick! Yes.. You will have them all.. cancer patient, Aids victim, psychic patient, death bed man, cold, cough, fever, headache and ooh aah ouch... Doctor Doctor... everyone needs little Hope (Aashayein) to survive. But, the film ends up being an arty documentary on the sick galore. Diseases and Lectures.
Cancer ruled the box office once upon a time, whether it was Rajesh Khanna's Anand or Shah Rukh Khan's Kal Ho Naa Ho. But, the same treatment of the patient rejecting his love because of the disease he has, does not go well with Abraham's Aashayein. It falls flat and the charm and the sensitivity is missing!
Aashayein goes wrong in its very choice of theme is that it's not in the league of films that can pull it off well. Each scene, each frame is a forced attempt at appearing perceptive, including plenty of amateurish dialogues and actually you feel you are at a place that is so suffocating. You look at for fresh breeze and walk out of the theater. Thats the best solution to come out of the sickness of watching this film in a hospital (theatre)
Strictly No Hopes with this Abraham film! Abs.. not!
And if Kukkunoor thought that this film could get him or John an award, pity them! As the truth is that - The film will breath its last from the theatres in just a few days time.
