Zindagi 50-50

Unfortunately, the way the story unfolds -- and some of the dialogues where cuss words and vulgarity flows freely -- gives you an impression that Ruia and producer Veeraj Kumar wanted to take a shortcut to the Box Office -- or at least to get the audience inside the theatres -- by getting Malik in the act.

While Veena Malik excels in displaying her assets, it is Supriya Kumari's performance to do the unthinkable for the realization of her husband's dream of owning a MHADA house that comes out as a riveting performance.

As the film ends, you wonder if the filmmaker justifies adultery, prostitution and exploitation of women in general, including the casting couch. You also wonder if there is an underlying message in the film, which hints that a woman needs to sleep around to get ahead in life! The lewdness in dialogues and scenes puts you off.
