Gulati's 'Prince' is pretty much another one of those horrible presents that are covered in beautiful giftwrap. It starts off with the title character stealing a coin (yes, of all things he steals a coin which is, as you'll see later, worth millions or whatever). Anyway, then he finds himself awake in his condo with no recollection of anything. Yup, he don't even remember his own name. A servant feeds his memory but that ain't enough. He goes to a nightclub and sees a hot slut performing an item number. She claims to be his girlfriend Maya. The morning after, he receives a phonecall from a seductress (Nandana Sen with overdone makeup), who also claims to be his girlfriend Maya. After some doubts and encounters, Prince is sure that seductress number two is the real Maya until it turns out that she's a 'chamchi' of a pathetic crackwhore kingpin and the truth is revealed that kingpin and chamchi orchestrated this in order to obtain the coin from Prince. Prince is then rescued by seductress number 3 (played by a newcomer whose name I don't know but she looks hot and cannot act). Now this number 3 also claims to be Maya. Who is the real Maya? Why does everyone want the coin? What's happened to Prince's memory.
My proper answer would be: Who cares? But if you still want to waste precious time then just watch this horrendous movie which has very good special effects. The slow motions are quite retarded (as they almost always look in Bollywood movies). If the intention was to make a slick action movie why use slow motion at all? I really think Bollywood movies should avoid using slow motion. The camera-work is impressive and the songs are forgettable (some are downright horrible).
Vivek Oberoi is adequate. His performance mainly suffers from bad writing. I can only imagine he did this film because he badly needed a hit and hopefully he got that so that now he can focus on doing meaningful cinema. The rest of the actors are downright bad. Nandana Sen is unintentionally funny.
'Prince' is all gloss and no substance. Enough said.
