Asha Black Review|

'Asha Black' is a tedious morality fable that squanders the acting potential of its gifted performers. It's too thin a film to sustain itself, and at best a wasted idea that could have been infinitely better.

Mere ideas, inventive as they may sound, do not always make a good film. John Robinson's 'Asha Black' is one such film, in which a significantly sensible theme is lost in a scruffy script that is full of dead air.
Rohit (Arjun Lal) runs a band with a few of his young friends, and when he gets a friend's request from a profile named Asha Black on Facebook, he is enthused. When Asha (Ishita) finally appears on cam before him, Rohit realizes that he has fallen madly in love with her. The girl claims that she is seventeen and promises to meet him on her eighteenth birthday at Kuala Lampur, where she is based
Off he sets off for Malaysia, where he is met with an exceedingly tragic news. Asha is apparently no more, and Rohit decides to find out more about her. The revelations that her mail account has in store are shocking, and Rohit unravels the real Asha that she was.
Even as the basic premise sounds a bit interesting, 'Asha Black' is anything but that on screen. It's a film that goes way overboard with the characterisation, and the scenes way too dramatic. At the end of it all, the characters jut out like boulders about to fall off a cliff, and the tale that they form an integral part of, sound plain plastic.
