One line Review: Shot at classy and exotic locations, sophistication and mystery intact throughout the movie. Positive Points: Astounding and praise worthy performances by all the three leads, this film offers more of Jacqueline Fernandez than just featuring her as a pretty face, Beautiful locales and superb shots where in the elegance and class is emphasized to the core. The marvellously shot movie that holds a lot of mystery. Negative Points: To be precise, the film is more for the classes than the masses. The plot is dawdling and at times a bit perplexing too. The entire plot looks very promising since the very beginning but unfortunately does not sum up into anything of substance. Plot: Kabir Grewal (Arjun Rampal) is a maverick film maker who gets inspired by the master art thief Roy (Ranbir Kapoor) to the extent that he begins working on a script keeping Roy as his central character. Ayesha Aamir (Jacqueline Fernandez) is also a film maker who later becomes the love interest of Kabir. Kabir is a Casanova who is known for dating multiple girls but genuinely falls for Ayesha and she then becomes his drive for further enhancement of his script. Ayesha is an intelligent, straight forward girl who also falls for Kabir's charm. Meanwhile the story of Roy moves forward with Tia (Jacqueline in a dual role) who plays the female lead of Kabir's film. As the story unfolds, the mystery of the film is intact all the way through. The plot switches constantly from real to reel leaving the audiences a bit haywire. The plot is sluggish at times and keeps ones' concentration built for the pro intelligent plot. The mystery continues as one wonders if Ayesha will accept Kabir in spite of knowing facts about his life and Roy's story. Direction and other Technical Aspects: The debutant director Vikramjit Singh has put a sincere effort in the making. The movie is marvellously shot at gorgeous locations but there are a few loopholes in the script. The cinematography and background music score full marks. The dialogues of are too erratic and sometimes just does not fit the bill. Performances: Ranbir and Jacqueline's screen presence enlivens the sometimes dull plot. Ranbir Kapoor has indeed given a brilliant performance in spite of having a very monotonous and dull character. Arjun Rampal has also done an adequate justice to his role of a film maker. Jacqueline has a dual role in the film. The actress exceeds expectations in terms of acting and one can see a major improvement in her considering her past films though her dialogue delivery is still not appreciable. Anupam Kher has a cameo in the film and the veteran essays the role of Kabir's father very convincingly. Music: The already popular songs 'Suraj Duba' and 'Tu hai ke nahi' are a delight in the film. The song 'Chittiyaan Kalaiyan Ve' sung by Kanika Kapoor is also an equally loved song. The song 'Boond Boond' by Ankit Tiwari is a pleasing romantic one. The last number 'Yaara Re' has a sad tone but a beautiful one by KK. The film has a really cool background music which enhances the visuals. Final Verdict: Roy can be summed up as a subtle love story at the base with loads of toppings of mystery, coatings of a thriller and mixture of sophisticated ideation and execution. It will be a nice Valentines' Day watch. Do not keep your expectations high and enjoy the movie with its random twists!

Suspense-thrillers have always been one of the favourite genres of Bollywood lovers. Add to that some melodious music and you have a winner. This week's release ROY starring Arjun Rampal, Ranbir Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez have promised the above elements. Will ROY make the cut and become a match winner for its makers and the B-O windows.
At the outset, 'Roy' stands out among the melee of films because of its sheer beauty. The three gorgeous actors (Jacqueline Fernandez, Arjun Rampal and Ranbir Kapoor), who play the lead characters, do contribute to this, but what stands out more is the slick cinematography (Himman Dhameja) that lends a dreamy, fairytale effect to even the most mundane backdrops.
Roy was supposed to be a romantic thriller but there is nothing romantic or thrilling in it! Advertisement: Replay Ad It's the story of Kabir (Arjun Rampal) a commercial filmmaker who is working on his next film Guns (part three). His working style is very unique. The film is about to start but he is just smoking and staring at his typewriter, he has not even written one line of his film. He is busy drinking, smoking, thinking, walking, swimming but not writing or doing anything constructive to make his film happen.
Roy is a very good looking film. Beautiful exotic foreign locales, a menthol cool color palette, a model level attractive cast of Arjun Rampal, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ranbir Kapoor. It looks like a big budget advertisement for bathroom fittings and I mean that as a compliment. Sadly that's all there is to the film, and it's only the latest entrant in the gigantic pantheon of movies featuring style over substance.
Vikramjit Singh's latest directorial venture, Roy starring Arjun Rampal, Jacqueline Fernandez, Ranbir Kapoor, Anupam Kher and Nawazuddin Siddiqui has finally hit the theatres. I just caught the first show of the movie and I'm left with mixed feelings about the film.
I've just finished watching a film about, um, what exactly was it about? And that's not the only question I have about 'Roy', which remains a mystery wrapped in an enigma till the end, for all the wrong reasons. A snail would be faster than the pace at which we are introduced to the characters. Namely, one number masked thief (Ranbir Kapoor in an extended cameo), who has a thing for expensive art. A filmmaker (Arjun Rampal) with a roving eye and a bad case of block-itis, who bashes away at his typewriter : no, he's not so poor he can't afford a laptop- there are many apple-shaped gadgets strewn about in the movie- it's just, you know, so retro-cool to bash away at actual keys.
The filmmaker's classy taste when it comes to the execution as the locations elevate the film's class. Also, who does not like watching Jacqueline Fernandez look dream-like as she struts in designer wear and red lip shades.
A film lavished with dollops of visual style and aural sophistication, Roy would have been a runaway cinematic delight if only its makers had coupled its impressive surface gloss with a modicum of substance. Let alone a meaningful core to weave its inanities around, Vikramjit Singh's directorial debut does not even have a coherent story that could make the two-and-a-half hour movie passably tolerable.
