Rating:
Ganesh Acharya’s Angel, which deals with a sensitive topic of celebral palsy, is a film around a love story. But unfortunately the film fails to evoke any sympathy.
Ganesh had the potentials to make a compelling love story as there was a lot of scope for drama within the story. Ever since Ganesh has handled human emotions so emphatically in Swami, all expected the director to handle celebral palsy with more sensitivity. But the screenplay here is very amateurishly handled and sadly the delicate love story lacks any sensitivity and understanding.
Abhay (Nilesh Sahay), Sanjay Dutt’s nephew, makes his debut in Angel opposite Sonal (Madalsa Sharma), daughter of veteran actress Sheela Sharma. Sadly, both the debutants fail to impress. Aruna Irani could have been given a lot of scope, but unfortunately the actress had nothing much to do. Manoj Joshi is loud and Kishori Shahane is passable.
Abhay flaunts society’s rules, unaware of or unconcerned about the consequences of his actions. After serving his sentence for manslaughter, Abhay decides to meet the family members of the deceased man and apologise for his reckless act. When he arrives at the address, he finds a couple moving out of their room, handing their disabled sister, Sonal’s responsibility to a caretaker (Rakhi Vijan).
Sonal suffers from cerebral palsy, but her brother and sister-in-law cash on her disability. Abhay gets attracted to Sonal and leaves behind his phone number. Friendship begins to blossom between Abhay and Sonal. On one fateful night, Sonal’s brother and sister-in-law catch Abhay and Sonal making love. Abhay is arrested. How Sonal overcomes her disability and saves Abhay forms the crux of Angel.
Music director Amjad Nadeem has generated soulful music but it has not been utilised well. There are times when the director jumps from a chawl to the scenic alps of Switzerland. Few scenes like Abhay coming to meet with his girl at a chawl without anyone noticing him or Abhay taking seems unconvincing. On a whole, an avoidable fare.
