Music video: Even as the promos of Akshay Kumar's next big release ‘Tasveer 8 x 10’ makes its presence felt across T.V. channels, the audio - packaging and styling of the film is going on in full swing.

In his latest, Nagesh Kukunoor dumps earthly pleasures for supernatural hi-jinks, He enters a new zone with 8x10 Tasveer: Suspense-thriller. His choice of the genre and subject material is also right. Yet, 8x10 Tasveer goes wrong, horribly wrong.
Jai Puri (Akshay) is a forest ranger in Canada. For over a year he is having a live in relationship with Sheela (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. And then one day the latter pops it, in the middle of an ocean, on a pristine-white yatch, surrounded by wife (Sharmila), and cronies (Girish, Anant, Rushad). Accident or murder? Devastated by the loss of his father, and with the help of an awkward Hyderabadi cop in Canada (Javed Jaffery) Jai goes on a quest to unravel the mystery.
Now let's get to the root of the problem: The discrepancies in the script. Of course, 8x10 Tasveer is a whodunit and it would be sacrilege to reveal the end or the identity of the killer, but the reasons that compel the murderer to commit crime after crime are unbelievable and far from convincing.

The moment the truth is out in the open, from that point onwards, the writer doesn't have convincing answers to offer. There are so many gaps that remain wide open till the end.
On the whole, 8 x 10 TASVEER disappoints. The film goes wrong, in fact horribly wrong, in the penultimate 20-25 minutes, which is the lifeline of any suspense-thriller. Nagesh Kukunoor has missed the bus this time!
