Also the background score works in the narrative scheme of things but could have been worked upon better to find something new beyond the obvious.Īll in all, Drive is a major time sucker, but since Sushant and Jacqueline are good actors from past films, it may find an audience. Pacy cuts make the film slick and not a pain as it could have been. To certain audiences, the film will be over before long and Drive uses it to its advantage. Director Tarun Mansukhani is also the editor of the film and should be lauded for making Drive work in parts, mostly through good transitions and quick cuts. Not that there aren't good things in the film. Seeing this feels weird and discouraging. At some instances, faces are blurred out or supplementary shots used to hide the fault in dialogue syncing. Even lip-sync with dialogues is an issue. Sad thing is, this happens repeatedly and you can't help but find it bothersome. Race cars sequences are inspired but the CGI is lame and you can easily make out the minimal efforts put in by the makers. The problem with the technical aspects of the film goes beyond every other lapse in performance or script. They play law enforcers, but only to an extent that you can't take them seriously enough. Drive also has wasteful performance delivered by Pankaj Tripathi and Boman Irani.

In many ways, Jacqueline keeps your interest alive in the film and even assists in breathing into the haggard suspense. Jacqueline has nothing pathbreaking to offer here but pulls off the role and her character at her disposal decently.

His go-to expression is to charmingly smile or smirk. Sushant's performance is strangely one-dimensional. Moles, security lapses, worrying cops, outsmarting criminals and chases, all are part of Drive's slick, two hour run-time but it seldom goes beyond its self- restricting template.

Comes Sushant Singh Rajput and the crew of four try and execute the robbery, the nature and method of which is similar to many other films preceding this one - hack CCTV cameras, enter and execute on an occasion when security is thin and run off in fast, revving cars.

Their leader, Jacqueline Fernandez, who is also a racer, but looks more like a glamorous, runway model, wants to rob the Presidential Palace off its valuables. Drive follows a gang of crooks, who operate out of a warehouse in New Delhi.
