1 of 2 people found this review helpful Ek is a full-on masala film, which may have been a hit in the 1970s. However, it is way too outdated in today's times. After so many years of acting, Bobby Deol, alas, still looks wooden...

1 of 2 people found this review helpful The film is aimed at the masses but could have been a better one had some loose end taken care of and the narrative kept tight. But it is not a bad film and may work well for you if you literally have nothing else to do and go in without any expectations.

1 of 2 people found this review helpful Bobby Deol is probably a good choice for an assassin. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, he can produce all of two and half facial expressions and that?s all he does in this film too. Shriya Saran looks like she just saw a hundred Asha Parekh movies before she took a shot for the film and the rest of the cast don?t even deserve a mention...

1 of 2 people found this review helpful Nana Patekar as the maverick cop who hunts Nandu down does his usual number but even his style cannot carry off the wannabe dialogue (which goes from "darrling" and "swittie" to a reference to Hamlet?s soliloquy). Chunkey Pandey surfaces in an unbearably grating, hammy act...

1 of 3 people found this review helpful It?s a film that rests on the power of none. Actors, director, action director, music director ? all disappoint in equal measure in this movie that seems like a collage of popular clich?s from action flicks and family dramas of the 80s and early 90s.

1 of 2 people found this review helpful This one also has a nasty village landlord, eying the ancestral land of Nandu's grandfather. Nana Patekar plays a lecherous police officer investigating the murder of the politician whom Nandu had killed. Nana can be seen mouthing some of the most ridiculous dialogues of the century.

1 of 2 people found this review helpful At the risk of falling ill you discover that Sangeeth Sivan's Ek ? remade from the 2004 Telugu hit Athadu ? is incurably absurd. The Kal ka CM (Sachin Khedekar, beaming perennially?) wants to arouse the electorate's sympathy, he doesn't want to pay his own funeral bills. Not yet.

2 of 3 people found this review helpful The title Ek ? The Power of One doesn't hold much relevance to the film since there are 'two' protagonists with both putting 'powerless' performances. However, I hope to have justified my 'one star rating' with 'powerful' reasons.

1 of 4 people found this review helpful Ek is the story of a hardcore criminal turning into a saint (not literally). Keeping this as a base, the treatment is obviously different keeping in mind the taste buds of the Hindi film lovers...
