Apun Ka Choice Review for Radio Movie
Say what his staunchest critics may, but this wannabe actor just refuses to throw in the towel. Himesh Reshammiya, doubtlessly a good music composer and now a better singer (sans his nasal twang), returns once again to the big screen in director Ishaan Trivedi’s film Radio which has him playing an RJ who solves other people’s love problems without getting rid of his own.
Vivaan (Himesh) is an upwardly mobile RJ until his life is rocked by a divorce from wife Pooja (Sonal Sehgal) whom he can’t seem to live with or without. His faith in relationships shaken and his heartache still not fully nursed, Vivaan lands into further confusion with the coming of Shanaya (Shenaz Treasurywala) who brings cheer, and complications, to the brooding RJ’s life.
Is Vivaan rediscovering love in Shanaya? Or does his heart still throb for his ex wife who, by the way, continues to remain his friend after divorce? The matters of Vivaan’s heart are complicated.
Director Ishaan Trivedi tells the story in different chapters and that pretty much sums up the novelty one is likely to see in ‘Radio’. The film’s weakness lies in its inability to make a viewer relate to the love triangle, or tangle. The ‘incompatibility’ because of which Vivaan and Pooja decide to part ways isn’t established convincingly, nor is crackling the chemistry between him and Shanaya.

Himesh seems to be trying too hard to cement his footing as an actor because the effort he makes to get his act right in ‘Radio’ is quite apparent in his performance. Sonal Sehgal is pretty and gets some expressions right. Shenaz is a breeze of fresh air that gets too bubbly for the good of her own character after a while. Paresh Rawal is wasted in an over-the-top guest appearance.
With its soulful tunes, average performances, mangled story and wry humour, ‘Radio’ could turn out to be a delight for Himesh’s loyal fans, and distress for the others.
Rating: 4/10

Radiosargam.com Review for Radio Movie 2009
Director: Isshaan Trivedi
Star Cast: Himesh Reshammiya, Sonia Sehgal, Shenaz Treasuryvala, Paresh Rawal
Radio Jockey Vivan (Himesh Reshammiya) has just been divorced from Pooja (Sonia Sehgal). He spends his time singing and of course doing whatever one does on the radio. While he does his radio, his own signal from the heart is transmitted directly into his colleague’s heart, Shania (Shenaz Treasuryvala). But there is a twist; Pooja is still in love with Vivan and pines for him day and night. The three tackle issues of the heart for the whole duration of the film while drinking coffee, updating statuses on Facebook and of course trying to sing without using your nasal. Thus is the story of Radio.
Radio is a very poor version of Dil To Pagal Hai. It has no story, no acting, and the music is just bearable. Director Isshaan Trivedi is a master in creating a film with no essence and creativity. Anyone could have held a camera and done a far better job than the one he has.
Himesh Reshammiya was touted as the next big thing in Bollywood soon after Aap Ka Surroor, his debut flick. His subsequent releases have tarnished that title and he is now in danger of joining the dinosaurs – getting extinct. In Radio Himesh does not act. My pet dog Babloo can show more emotions than Himesh has in this film and Babloo does not sing through his nasal – which is a plus. Himesh arrived with a bang but will be going out in a whimper.
Sonia Sehgal looks ugly and her acting is non-existent. The same can be said for Shenaz Treasuryvala. Paresh Rawal is annoying and the rest of the cast unbearable.
Watching Paa with Amitabh Bachchan and Radio on the same day, which I did unfortunately, opens your eyes to how good and how bad Bollywood can be. Paa is astounding and riveting viewing while Radio is as pathetic as a film can get.
Do not watch this! If you do then you only have yourself to blame.
