The Story:
This film is about a young freelance photographer named Ray Acharya (Neil Nitin Mukesh) who's down on his luck. His grandfather has just passed away and Ray is having a hard time finding work. Luckily, his grandfather leaves him a camera and pocket watch that Ray originally assumes are items just like any other. He quickly learns the camera has a special power that allows the photographer to see ahead in the future for any picture they take.

What Works:
Although the movie is fairly predictable, it still manages to have an interesting take that never bores the audience. It is pretty interesting right from the beginning and definitely keeps the attention of the viewer the entire time. The characters are pretty believable, which makes it easier to look past the flaws.
What Doesn't Work:
This movie isn't original. It takes themes and ideas from hundreds of other sci-fi, action, and romance movies and comes up with 'Aa Dekhen Zara'. The predictability is there from the beginning which takes away from the twist or surprise the writers were hoping for.
The Soundtrack:
The film's soundtrack is really great. It's almost difficult to find something to hate about it. Each song expresses a modern genre with the traditional Hindi lyrics. There's a lot of dance music in this movie which is different and cool.
Slated Or Rated?
Rated! This movie is purely for fun. Don't go expecting too much, in fact don't go with any ideas or thoughts of how it's going to be. This is a movie that's packed with just the right amount of action and romance to be a good date movie.
3 1/2 out of 5
