User Reviews
I
am so ashamed I am writing this review. Curiosity killed me. Or,
rather, curiosity killed my 150 rupees. I was curious about what Bond
girl Caterina Murino (Solange in 2006's Casino Royale) was doing in a
Bollywood film. That was why I went to see Fever. Also, the film looked
sleek, what with all those gorgeous Swiss locales and all. I was
deceived quite easily. I ended up sleeping through a nice part of the
film before the interval. The film hardly made any sense in the first 30
minutes. This, together with the air conditioning in the multiplex,
made me sleep. A loud noise just before the interval woke me up. I
realised it was a very badly composed background score. For once it is
hard to believe that the background score has been composed by Ranjit
Barot! But that is how bad Fever is. Except those Swiss locales and some
beautiful photography nothing else is good in Fever. But why am I
praising the cinematography? The camera-work is good, but, in the end,
everything is just like some beautiful picture postcard from Europe. In
fact, when a range of logos of European travel firms and Swiss
government organisations is displayed right after the censor board
certificate and the no smoking ad, you know what is in store: A
Bollywood-style promo of Swiss tourism. Caterina Murino has a
you-blink-and-you-miss-her role, but the most heartbreaking thing about
Fever is Victor Banerjee's role. The veteran actor has only a short and
absolutely unimportant cameo. It looked like they needed just a star or a
big-name actor to do that cameo➖hence, Victor Banerjee. And better to
say nothing about Rajeev Khandelwal, Gauhar Khan, Gemma Atkinson, and
debutante Ankita Makwana. I read somewhere that Gemma Atkinson is a big
star of British television. What kind of fever compelled her to act in
this Fever? Seriously, Fever is just a 127-minute-long,
made-by-Bollywood commercial for Swiss tourism featuring six big and
small celebrities from India and abroad. I have given Fever 2 stars out
of 10. One star is for the guts of the makers of this film who believed
that they could get away with making such a joke of a film. The second
star is for making me fall asleep, for the first time in my life, in a
cinema hall!
