Though the movie titled as 'Summer 2007' doesn't directly connect with the plot of the story, but we presume that the director has in view the summer vacation of students during this period. So, he tries to utilize the student vacation period for a social cause. It's usual that the student community moves out of its campus/ hostel during the vacation and their principals directors assign them internship pertaining to their subject of study.
Yes, the summer of 2008 has already commenced but the director may have begun making this film last year, so he has titled it as 'Summer of 2007'. Besides, Mumbai rains are harsh and long enough and prompt everyone to move out of the town during this season. Hence, the director has chosen this season for weaving his story around this time of the year. Anyway, the debut director along with his producer deserves our thanks for choosing a noble story for filming!
The film moves around a group of five medical college students comprising Rahul aka Butter (Sikandar Kher), the group-leader, Qateel aka Kats (Arjan Bajwa) as the Casanova and Bagani aka Bugs (Alekh Sangal) in the form of a despot dude and the munificent Mother T aka Vishaka played by Gul Panag. Incidentally, Sikander had a failed relationship with Priyanka aka Pepsi played by Uvika Chowdhary.
As usual, the college youths plan a vacation to Goa though officially they are assigned to work as interns in a village hospital in Maharashtra. The village is notorious for farmer suicides. The students aren't aware of it until the village doctor Mukya played by Ashutosh Rana brings the piteous plight of the poverty-struck people to them.
Thus, Suhail Tatari has proved his directorial credentials in his first movie itself. First, he chooses a nice plot and then an equally competent cast. Undoubtedly, Ashutosh Rana has performed excellently well, and Sikander Kher has shown his maturity in the craft even during his short filmi span. Prosshant Narayanan has done well, too, in his role. Gul Panag, Arjan and Uvika have also fared well. Alekh's quest to lose his virginity has been annoying the audience.
Other strengths of the movie are a score by AR Rahman. Though the movie isn't a high profile one, but it has succeeded in its task of infotainment.
