There's no Jism in Madhoshi Add to Clippings
LOPAMUDRA GHATAK

[ FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2004 07:18:15 PM ]

Film : Madhoshi

Director : Tanveer Khan

Cast : Bipasha Basu, John Abraham, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Shweta Tiwari

Rating : **

Those who are looking for a Jism part II , forget it.

First, there's no scantily-clad Bips, dressed in virginal white and beaded jewellery, walking out of water and flaunting her tresses. Secondly, the 'can't-handle' sizzle between real lovers Bipasha Basu and John Abraham is missing, and those looking for loads of oomph from the Bong sex bomb, forget it.

Bipasha Basu (Anupama) is an art college student, who loves drawing a figure here and there and filling it with hues. She loses her sister and brother-in-law in the WTC attack and for those who'd thought that the terrorist attack will have some bearing on the film's storyline, forget it, case there's nothing more than just a 2-minute long staid footage of the twin tower collapse.

Apart from pursuing her arty vocation and being engaged to advertising professional Priyanshu Chatterjee (Arpit), chosen judiciously by the parents, the dusky bombshell is also able to see situations and people that are hidden from the public eye.

And her gift to see between the lines revolves has to do with the fact that the tall and dusky Bips is suffering from schizophrenia, known as 'personality disorder' in the layman's lingo. On an art assignment outside town, she bumps (literally!) into Abraham (Aman), who is on a mindless killing spree, gunning down suspected ISI militants at a deserted railway station and doing his bit in cleansing the 1-billion strong country of bad elements!
