It seems very unlikely that a film as predictable and stereotyped as Asambhav could give Arjun Rampal a much needed hit.
'Asambhav' is a film that sticks to the beaten and worn-out Bollywood stereotypes. Over-dramatic dialogues, deliberately forced songs and inflated action sequences make it quite a predictable and stodgy fare.
The film takes a dig at the Indo-Pak issue and contains references to ISI, President Musharraf, Al Jazeera and the Afghanistan. It tackles the issue of terrorism through an almost unbelievable story of an Indian commando (Arjun) on a mission to rescue the kidnapped Indian President from the terrorists in Locarno.
The movie is glossy but hollow, fast paced but shallow, technically sound but lacking in content. Ajun Rampal suits the role of a commando, but his acting skills need some polishing.
Nasseeruddin Shah on the other hand grabs all the attention with his portrayal of a golden-haired drug trader with a one-liner for every occasion.
