   My name is Anthony Gonsalves      
Ordinary Man... Extraordinary Dreams
Genre: Romantic     Recommended: General Audience      Released: 11 January 2008  

Starring: Nikhil Dwivedi, Amrita Rao, Mithun Chakraborty, Pawan Malhotra, Javed Shaikh, Lillette Dubey, Daya Shankar Pandey, D. Santosh, Mukesh Tiwary, Saurabh Shukla
Director: E. Niwas

It is amazing that this very Bollywood film industry has produced the likes of Shatrughan Sinha, Mithun Chakraborty, Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgan who were just written off initially since they did not have chocolate looks, style nor any filmy godfather to give them a break.


Fate has it that Anthony becomes a witness to a murder, and his world is turned upside down. Differences arise between Sikhanderbhai and himself since it was this godfather who had picked him up from the streets. An honest investigating Inspector Khan (Jawed Sheikh) gets to know about Anthony being a witness to the crime. This inspector, investigating the murder of a dead colleague, starts pursuing Anthony and the gang with dogged determination. Anthony has to choose between his mentor Sikander on one hand and his dream to become an actor, on the other, he has to make a moral choice which may shatter his dreams and even cost him his life.



Nikhil Dwivedi is really an ordinary man and we hope his extraordinary dreams are fulfilled in Hindi film Industry. There is an item number performed by the hot Hrishita Bhatt, and a lovely song featuring Amrita Rao in her new stunning image. The movie packs in action, dance, drama, comedy and tragedy. It has a newcomer Nikhil Dwivedi and otherwise some catchy songs and visual presentation. Excellent performance by Pawan Malhotra, and it is him in the second half that the movie is worth watching.

We have the vivacious Amrita Rao and fresh Nikhil Dwivedi, it is Pawan Malhotra who is the most impressive in this film.
