Review

Director Arjun Sablok concentrates more on visuals than content. The film has an upmarket look from start to end, but how one wishes he'd worked harder on the screenplay.Salim-Sulaiman's music is strictly functional. The songs give you the heard-them-before feeling, barring the 'Halla Re' track. Cinematography [P.S. Vinod] is fantastic and the locales of Canada have been captured on celluloid with dexterity.Uday Chopra is likeable at most times, although he tends to go overboard in some scenes. Tanisha hams throughout and gets on your nerves with her screechy voice. However, her makeover is commendable. Richa Pallod gets no scope. Gaurav Gera is pure teakwood. Abhishek Bachchan makes an insignificant cameo in 'Halla Re' song.On the whole, NEAL 'N' NIKKI concentrates more on sex, skin show, sleaze and vulgarity than a sound story. A terrible letdown in terms of content, the film has precious little to offer to the moviegoers. At the box-office, the generous dose of skin show and vulgarity in the absence of a script will tell on its business. --bollywoodhungama.com
