8 X 10 Tasveer is a suspense and thriller movie directed by Nagesh Kukunoor. Nagesh has entered in to a zone with his new flick Tasveer. It's really surprising to watch Nagesh Kukunoor taking up a new avatar of treating an unparalleled script - 'Murder-Mystery'. He takes off with a perfect narration all throughout the show and naturally holds onto a perfect climax.
Jai Puri (Akshay Kumar) is a forest ranger in Canada. For over a year he is having a live in relationship with Sheela (Ayesha Takia) and staying separately from his parents Jatin (Benjamin Gilani) and Savitri (Sharmila Tagore) because he doesn't approve of his father's business dealings. Jai is blessed with supernatural powers with which he can look at any photograph and can actually go right into that moment when it was actually clicked, thus helping many who come to him for help when the police have failed.
He now has the unenviable task of venturing into a photograph, clicked just moments before his father could die, to find out whether it was murder or natural death. His journey to unravel the mystery keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Performance wise, Akshay Kumar deserves a bow for taking the risk to be a part of such an unusual project. He has done a serious role in this film. Javed Jaffery impresses with his acting as a cop. Ayesha Takia is Ok. She looks beautiful. Grirish Karnad has a small role. Anant Mahadevan and Rushad Rana are good as well. Sharmila Tagore is off course a mature actress, she has really done a good job.
On the whole, 8 X 10 Tasveer, is fairly a nice film. Kukunoor shows tremendous progress as a technician and has done just the perfect casting for all the parts. His interval point is simply superb as it wipes out all the predictions you are making up till then. Good chance for hardcore Akshay's fans to watch him in a serious role.
