8 X 10 Tasveer


8 X 10 Tasveer


After a flashback to a Jai Puri (Akshay Kumar) as a child, in shock at the edge of a cliff as his parents pull him away, the film jumps to the present day, finding Jai now a forest ranger in the woods near Alberta, Canada. Jai lives in a cabin with his girlfriend Sheila(Ayesha Takia), but has been estranged from his parents, Jatin(Benjamin Gilani) and Savitri Puri(Sharmila Tagore). Jatin is the CEO of a privately held Canadian oil company, Canoil. That oil exploration causes environmental damage is a great source of tension between father and son.
Jai has a supernatural or mutant gift: He is able to enter a photograph and vividly experience the events preceding the time of the photograph. Jai is unable to understand or explain this gift, except to recall that it started when he was very young. Jai tries to use this gift to help people (e.g. find people lost in the woods) despite the risks to his own body. Jai can remain in photographs only for a minute, and experiences life-threatening, stroke-like effects afterward.
Jai's father drowns in a boating accident under mysterious circumstances. Jatin was aboard his own boat, the Golmaal, and was surrounded by his wife; his brother(Anant Mahadevan), Sunder; longtime friend and lawyer Anil(Girish Karnad); and Adit(Rushad Rana, Jatin's surrogate son. Eccentric former cop Hapibulla "Happi" Pasha(Javed Jaffrey), who suffers from OCD, and whom Jatin had helped emigrate to Canada and start a life there, believes Jatin may have been murdered, and that everyone on the boat at that time may have had motive. The only clue is an 8x10 photograph of the four men, which Savitri shot a few moments before Jatin fell off the boat and had a hypothermia-induced heart attack.
Jai repeatedly uses his gift to enter the photo and experience the incident through the eyes of the four subjects in it. After each entry, Jai picks up various clues from the viewpoint of the subject. Happi follows up on these clues and tries to string together a theory. But Jai his body gradually weakening from the stress of entering the photograph. As well, Sunder is found hanged, an apparent suicide, and a mysterious party in a black SUV tries to kill Jai and Sheila. Later, someone makes an attempt on Savitri's life. Happi enlists the help of a nurse, Sally, whom he had left at the altar some unspecified time ago, who though resentful of Happi helps administer medical aide to Jai in order to help him find the killer.
After the knife attack on Savitri, Jai enters the photo one last time, at great risk to his weakening body, to find the final set of clues, and is set upon by his now-grown twin, Jeet — who had been presumed dead but had survived the fall to live a hellish existence — and the unfaithful Sheila. During a tussle, Happi arrives at Jai's cabin and tries to help, but Sheila kills him with an axe. Jeet and Sheila dump Happi's body, as well as that of their betrayed confederate, Adit, into the sea, and attempt to do the same with Jai. Jai ingeniously escapes, and attempts to reconcile with his long-lost brother. Touched, Jeet kills Sheila as she fires on Jai, but her shot kills Jeet. Sometime later, Jai moves in with his mother and they put up pictures of the truly-dead son.8 X 10 Tasveer is a Bollywood film thriller released April 3, 2009, and starring Akshay Kumar and Ayesha Takia.

the movie floped and that what I heard but why? maybe it is flop because of producing
part or in music part maybe in the direct part but the acting was good. the movie
deserve to be hit because it was nice and I want to people to see this movie to decide
about it and I think 85% that u will like this movie.after u see the movie u can put a
comment to see r the people like it or not.really akshay is a loser ..... he wanted to be the king but ended up in his place at the bottom of the ladder ....
he was doing well in welcome and then herapheri and all .....well he is good in comedy .. now he has begun to suck though..... but his attempt to do something else should be applauded but the thing is that the film has grossed a petty 5 crores in the first 4 days from the entire india after such hype over this created by box office gimmick master akshay.....
anyways sorry boss but the results prove it after a super duper flop in chandni chowk to china besides his never ending series of flops previously except the khiladi ,herapheri,welcome,singh isking(which was super sucking but somehow did the trick like oso),heybaby i guess most of his films have seen the flop marks .....
anyways akshay chal koi baat nahi next time preparation karke ana .... we will definately watch u next time ... if it is atall tolerable and not nonsense mindless disasters like chandnichowk to china aur tasveer type
and please donot follow aamir .... he is wayup from your range.
