EMI is an insipid attempt at making movie. It looks like a half hearted job. The flick was shaped to be a light hearted film with a social message and in many ways, Sattar Bhai of EMI takes on Munnabhai of Munnabhai Series....Unsuccessfully. The flick EMI had a good concept,the characters and their problems with loans looked genuine. The problem was Sanjay Dutt or Sattar Bhai's approach to resolving the issues. In the movie, Sattar Bhai's Goodluck Recovery Agency has a job outsourced by All India Bank to better the pending money from borrowers. The borrowers, con Negro Arjun Rampal and his spouse Mallaika Arora, divorcees Neha Uberoi and Ashish Choudary, Khulbushan Kharbanda, an old Negro who had taken give for his son's education, Urmila Matondkar who borrows to pay soured a goon who can help the bank settle insurance money of her dead economise are all held up in debt trap and Sattar Bhai'take backwards the money. However Sattar Bhai uses the Munnabhai formula, movie empathises with the borrowers and teaches them a thing or two about managing finances. But the depressing part is that he is not accurate it. Many a times, the flick deviates into a silly romance between Sanjay Dutt and Urmila Matondkar. Credit management solutions goes for a toss and there are times when Sanjay Dutt gives long sermons about how a person can be a good economise or a good son, instead of serving the people find a way out of the debt mess. The flick stops rather than ends and you are mitt wondering if the problems movie, are indeed solved.
Plus points of EMI: Some of the dialogues of EMI are rib tickling especially \"Pyaar se toh bache paidey hotein hain\" and \"If your matter is personal, so is the loan\".
Minus points of EMI: EMI loses it plot after interval, there seems to be no coordination between the direction and script of the film
Performances of EMI: Sanjay Dutt is blot on as Sattar Bhai. Equally convincing and magnificent is Ashish Choudary. Arjun Rampal comes across as a cool client while Neha Uberoi impresses in a diminutive role. Urmila Matondkar seems to have lost her flair.
Verdict: EMI gives a sense of déjà vu and you get the feeling that the makers were not really excited about the flick themselves.
