Aap Ka Surroor – Movie Review

First a few questions that ups the curiosity level of Aap Ka Surroor – The Moviee

  • What is the secret behind the cap of Himesh Reshammiya? Why does he wear it all the time?
  • Why Himesh never smiles?
  • How will Himesh look without his infamous cap?
  • How good an actor is Himesh, is he capable of delivering histrionics on screen? Most people in the trade are aware of the fact that, If Himesh clicks and Aap Ka Surroor goes on to be a Box-office success, he will create ripples in the Bollywood Film Industry. The star system will literally be shaken.

So with all these thoughts and questions in mind, you curiously enter the cinema hall to watch Aap Ka Surroor – The Moviee, which marks the silver screen acting debut of singer and extremely talented music composer Himesh Reshammiya.

Aap Ka Surroor begins with the corpse of a Television journalist Nadia Merchant found in a remote area . HR (Himesh Reshammiya) is on a concert tour to Germany. The movie now goes into a flashback mode.

HR, a extremely popular singer, performer and composer, is in Germany for a concert. He meets the event manager Khurana (Darshan Jariwala) and his partner cum lawyer Ruby (Mallika Sherawat). He also meets Rhea (Hansika Motwani) his event planner. Both fall in love with eachother instantly. Rhea’s father (Sachin Khedekar) who initially disapproves the relationship, agrees for their marriage after HR promises to keep Rhea happy forever.

But unfortunately, as with most love stories, things take a tragic turn and HR is arrested. On the other hand, Rhea’s marriage is fixed and she is supposed to get married within a day to someone else. HR has one single day prove his innocence and win his love to live happily everafter. Does he succeeds? Watch the movie to find out.

The one thing that goes against the movie is the story. Its simply is unbelievable and very filmy to say the least. Director Prashant Chadha is techincally well equipped but as a story teller he fails. Right from the auto rickshaw sequence to the climax the movie falters. Its believed that HR’s biggest fans are the rickshaw drivers. They are sure to get disappointed with that particular sequence. The music is good, although two songs can be easily be chopped off from the movie. The cinematography is brilliant.

Himesh Reshammiya is impassive in a few sequences and he must work on his dialogue delivery. He does show a few sparks of brilliance though. Overall a decent debut. Hansika Motwani, the kiddo in Hrithik Roshan’s Koi Mil Gaya, delivers a good performance. She is good in the emotional scenes. Mallika Sherawat is plain average. She falters in the all important scene, when her role turns from negative to positive.

Shravan as HR’s friend, in a comical role deserves a special mention. He is brilliant. Sachin Khedekar and Darshan Jariwala are good.

To sum things up, Aap Ka Surroor is a disappointing movie. Himesh is hardly seen without the cap. Some questions (mentioned above) are left unanswered. At the box-office though, it could click, thanks to the curiosity surrounding the movie and Himesh’s huge fan following around the globe.

I didnt like it, you just might. Give it a try.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

  • Bad bad bad movie..

    Homesh Reshammiya is a rockstar.. with a huge fan following in Germany.. he is surrounded by body gaurds.. after one concert he is arrested for murdering a journo..

    flashback to 15 days ago.. our HR meets event manager and lawyer ruby (mallika) she loves him.. he hasnt loved anyone for 18 years..

    enter rhea.. both fall in love (lolita kinda love story.. lol she looks like a kid.. like a daughter.. ) but sadly he gets arested..

    we enter second half.. we have himesh crying behind bars.. rhea’s dad is angry.. he wants to get her married in 24 hours

    now one ex cop.. enters (father of the murdered journo) he tries to beat himesh to death.. himesh takes the ex cops gun and threatens to kill him.. and runs away.. himesh meets rhea again.. they cry hug for 10 mins..

    now himesh instead of running away with her and getting married. takes her to her dad.. and says.. if i prove myself innocent within 24 hours.. she has to marry me.. or else she can marry someone else :lol:

    now himesh gets proof to prove himself innocnet.. but enter the villian who has kidnapped rhea.. wow.. himesh gives away the proof to save rhea.. wow wow wow..

    enter cops.. they catch him while they hug and cry.. while on the way to police station.. enter our rickshaw drivers in germany.. they distract cops and himesh runs away to catch villian..

    now villian confronts hero.. and villian at the height of stupidity confesses he has murdered.. and himesh magically records it on live tv.. which being telecasted in wedding hall.. marriage broken.. hero heroine together..

    end of the movie

    few things though

    songs are good (4 in the first half)
    hansika is cute..

    himesh is wooden.. but better than abhishek in his first few movies.. actually given the same amount of time and movies.. Himesh could be a much better actor than abhishek.. he has a good screen presence..

    mallika was it a negative role.. LOL she is wasted..

    pathetic movie..

    1.5 / 5

  • Good review. I am hoping and praying this movie is a success. I am a HUGE HR Fan.

    Read my Music review of Aap Ka Suroor

    Now that which came out is the songs of ?Aap Ka Surroor-The Moviee” where HR himself plays the lead. When “Assalam Valaikum” was released, i think, like me, all other admirers too got disappointed deeply. I thought, ?He gave all other movies the right kind of scores, but failed to excel in his own movie. Bad fate he possesses”. I was really in a bad state of mind then.

    But when “Yeh tera mera milna…” came, it took our ears along with his voice and our eyes along with the screen ! The song is really a refreshing, melodious one that takes us along with it by the voice and the picturisation. Gratitude to Mr. Prashanth Chadha, the director and Mr. Ganesh Acharya, the choreographer. It’s a work that’s to be really appreciated.

    And “Tanhaiyaa” which were released much before too is a tempting one, but am not able to encrypt that that song follows the same path…!

    But,”Yeh tera mera milna…” is the answer to ANTI-HR Music Lovers… I?ll rate that song as the best composition by Himesh Reshammiya he ever produced.

    It is evident with his compositions of present times that HR is to be admired as a HIT-MAKER in both Melodies as well as Fast Numbers..

  • His look in the movie is so wierd.. n that girl looks like his daughter…. actually she is very much younger than him in age… she acted in koi mil gaya movie as a small girl… how much she has grown… and that too so fast???

  • The liked one dialogue from Aap Ka Suroor very much… It goes like

    Bhag waan ka Screenplay bhi ajeeb hai…..
    Kabhi kisi ko MUQAMMAL jahaan nahi milta…..

  • The Superb Movie I had ever seen. Thank You Himesh Bhai for such a movie. Don’t be upset Himesh bhai Keep it Up.

    WE ARE WITH U. Move Forword. AAP KA SUROOR IS THE BEST MOvIE Of This Year From Bollywood.

    Rezoan Haider Dip From Bangladesh.

  • Oops What a movie Himesh Bhai a lot of thanks to you. Give us A LOT of MOVIES like AAP KA SURUUR. I LOVE U Himesh Bhai.
    Come On Bangladesh I Want to see you & KISS YOU just you.

  • The movie is wonderfull the songs are wonderful the picturization is awesome and himesh acting is cool only one thing which HR should not have included is that the last song Mehabooba at the end it was a blunder to a beautiful love story and HR, Excluding that HR is really wonderfull and i love him so ooooooooooooooooooooo much and the movie which was much awaited did turn up good but still would have done better I pray god that the movie is a box office hit

    One suggestion is that I would prefer HR to be a Rockstar rather than a movie star .

  • Best movie of the year 2007 that i have ever seen in my life….To Himesh….i am terribly sorry for ur bro, but keep it up dude…ur acting and ur songs are wonderful….i love u himesh!

  • i appreciated the film by keeping in mind that it’s based on HR real love story. okay,the girl is younger compared to HR but mayb this is how it really is in his real life. i didnt feel that he’s a debute,he seems so confident in his role. i wud say ” chapeau” HR. sincerely i would say sorry about your brother, today where you stand,am sure he’s looking at you n feeling rilly proud..

  • it is good effort as his first movie….we admitted that it was quite filmi at the end but still fabulous!
    HR keep it up!!!!

  • Salam Alaikum HIMESH,

    Superb Movie!!!your acting and songs are fabulous!!!!
    God bless You!!!

    Best Regards,

    Syeda

  • this is for all of HR fans look down

  • SADLY ONE OF THE WORST FILM I’VE EVER SEEN. IF I WAS HIMESH I WOULD NEVER EVER ACT AGAIN AND CONCENTRATE ON SINGING. ITS JUST A BIZARRE FILM, JUST WATCHED COZ OF THE SONGS. STRANGE TO NOTE THAT SOME OF THE WRITERS HERE HAVE SAID THAT ITS ONE OF THE BEST FILM OF THE YEAR!! DONT INSULT HIMESH BY SAYING SO BE HONEST WITH HIM SO THAT HE CAN PUT EXTRA EFFORT ON HIS SONGS RATHER THAN ACTING. HE IS NOWHERE LIKE AN ACTOR. SORRY HR BUT ITS TRUE. ITS FOR YOUR GOOD THAT I M WRITING HERE. TAKE CARE AND GIVE US MORE MELODIOUS SONGS BUT PLEASE DONT ACT.
    GOOD LUCK
    tIL

  • The one who said that himesh has insulted himself by acting, actually she or he himself is a fool.
    he has al least tried and many people like.
    I am asking u the question if U CAN ACT LIKE HIM. My foot. The film was declared as class ‘A’ hit. And remember that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

    You just kept on kept on writing your negative comments about him just turn and see yourself, your personality.
    Damn you, you have got a very cheap status in front of him. even if he wont be nominated for best actors, his movie was a big hit at the box office.

    before criticizing others , JUST TURN AND SEE YOUR STATUS, YOUR PERSONALITY and SPECIALLY YOUR damn Talents as compared to Himesh.

  • I was initially skeptic to watch HR in a Hero’s role , I maintain that he is extremely talented where music is concerned and no doubt he is the best composer in bollywood right now. AR rehman can focus on SOUTH totally now .

    Well the Movie “AAP KA SUROOR” has gloss and technically sound , except the ending was not up too the mark ; but I guess HR was capitalizing all his pluses and minuses…like the comment about is nasal tone and fan following of the auto richshawalahs etc. which he is used in the movie. HR can ACT , . He is endearing and likeable as a person and that comes across the screen in the character he portrays . Compared to some crap we have been watching lately ; this is a nice flick . ALL the BEST ! Mr. RESHAMMIYYA !, you have cracked the code !

  • aap ka surroor. . .the worst movie ever made. . bloody hell himesh reshamiya cant act to save his life. . and he’s a terrible singer too. . .if u liked this movie u r plain stupid . .and illiterate too. . nothing else. . .
