Dilwale: 1/5 Goa+Cars+ pink + yellow+ blue colour =
Rohit Shetty movie sets! The first page of the script is written. Vasuli as
some other Bhai minus his munni + other side actors = extras ka Intezaam
hogaya! Because Tushaar and Aftab are busy making kya Kool hai hum 3 so we cast
chucha and for comedy since Ritesh Deshmukh now does sensible movies Varun
Dhawan is the new side actor! Who needs a good script if I have Sharukhh and
Kajol! I felt the movie was made for the sake of being made! Therefore I am
writing this review for the sake of it! A good story line which is wasted with
all the above mention crapp! Sharukhh I am waiting for Raeez and Fan! Kajol
learn from Tabu to do good roles! Varun Dhawan why u taking badla after giving
good movie like Badlapur! Kirti Sanon done good heroinpanti!
Bajirao Mastani: 3/5
Firstly to begin with the movie is not about war and bloodshed. The story goes
well with the title it is about Bajirao and Mastani. The movie is a mix Jodha
Akhbar and Ram Leela. The sets, clothes, Scenes where Bajirao meets the Mughals
for collaborations – reminds you of Jodha Akhbar. The luv story between Deepika
and Ranveer – the whole concept of neglecting their relationship and society
talking about Dharam and Cast, takes you back to Ram Leela. The first half of
the movie gets at times a bit boring. I could feel as if the director was
confused if he had to show more of Bajirao as a warrior or concentrate more on
his love story. Also I could find Priyanka Chopra still finding her place in
the first half. In one moment you will see her sitting with her Dasi all the
time (just like Ash in Jodha Akhbar) and next moment she is just welcoming
Ranveer after he wins a war. Mastani on other hand gets her recognition
sometimes as lover, as a Dancer. Let me tell you she is beautiful and played
both the parts very well. You could feel her anger in her eyes, even if she
stood calm and didn’t utter a word when she was being insulted. I want to make
special mention for a scene where Priyanka invites Deepika for Karva Chauth - the
way she insults and also at the same time gives Mastani her right to
participate in the function, was a good move. There I felt chalo finally
Priyanka brought some Power in her role, even if it was for one scene. Ranveer
as Bajirao – He was good, no I am sorry I can’t say excellent but yes he played
an excellent lover to Deepika, but when it came to playing the king, I could
get glimpse of Hrithik in my mind saying the same dialogue but with much power.
Tanvi Azmi playing Ranveer’s mother was great. She was witty plus emotional at
the same time – But again her role reminded me of Ila Arun in Jodha Akhbar as
Maham Anga- when she played witty. On the whole Bajirao Mastani is a good one
time watch. Watch it for Mastani –
Sanjay Leela Bansali and his large sets.
Tamasha: Imatiz + Ranbir = ***1/2
(half star for Deepika) this is the first time I have felt extremes about any
movie. If I need to write in a comic
way: I would say remember ‘FARHAN QURESHI’ from 3IDIOTS? Who wanted be a
photographer and thanks to Rancho – he finally did! Ever thought if he didn’t
meet Rancho what could have happen?? Well to know that watch Tamasha! Now this
is my comic sarcastic one star movie review. Lekin - Tamasha is more to this – it’s
about a person who listens to his heart only within the 4 walls of his bedroom
– but the moment he steps out he only listens to his mind. If this movie was been
made by any other director – my first three lines would have ended the review.
Imatiz there is hidden magic in his movie making and storytelling. From
locations to poetry to Dialogue’s and Directions captures your mind in each and
every seen. Deepika – I would say she is the Tadka! At the end I would say if
you are someone who can take a slow start and have the patience to watch the
movie and Ranbir – Yes he is the heart of the movie, you should go for it. But
if you like to be in your fantasy world– then I guess you better wait for
Dilwale!!
Prem Ratan Dhan
Payo: 3/5 Rajshri movies are said to be diabetic movies - so
sweet that you cannot digest them. Well PRDP is sweet but only this time the
production house has really been health conscious and reduced the doze of
sweetness so you can enjoy your salted popcorns! Well prdp is an upgraded
version of hum saath saath hai where this time they have cut all extra and
unwanted characters and focused only on the goodie Prem! Sonam plays a Sonam
pretty and well pretty! The movie has its own moments which makes it funny, cute
and sweet! The large sets and all the royal palaces looks beautiful on the
large screen! A quick first half and thoda lamba second half with typical
Rajshri ending! Watch it if you want to take a revisit to the 90"s! One
time watch!
Shaandaar:
1/5 if someone has seen Drishyam the movie had a tag line visual can be
deceptive! Well this tag line goes for Shaandaar too! The trailer is deceptive!
Cute Aila and hottie Shahid when seen together obliviously I will fall for it!
The movie is brainless I mean even in Priyadarshan movie when I say brainless
but I still say leave your brains at home and enjoy this movie! I can’t even
say that 4this one! In recent Shahid Kapoor interview he said we were offered
Shaandaar before he did Haider and Alia did highway and Queen released for
Vikas(director) Therefore I forgive all three of them for making and acting in
such a movie! Its bakwaas! Guys if u like the songs of the movie download it
and hear it! Don’t go for the movie!
BROTHERs: 2/5
Confession time: Frankly I had this feeling after watching the trailers of the
movie that it’s not going to be that great, but being a Siddharth Malhotra fan
I watched it. Story- Theek thi I felt the first half of the movie was tooo long
and the unnecessary flashback of Akshay and Jacqueline (luv wala Ganna) was a
waste. Second half was good – the fights
picked up the movie and gave it an end finally. Yeah like all I waiting for the
two “BROTHERS” to fight so that finally happened and movie khatam. Acting: Shefali – was fine. Jacky Shroff was
good. – Akshay was Akshay – he can pull any act. Siddharth – I can say he got
an upgrade from his last movie Ek Villain – better tapori acting – he still got
to learn – his emotional scenes were good but not his anger. I would make a
special mention for Jacqueline Fernandez – I don’t know if she has made her Hindi
better – but her acting has surely become better. Watch it if you are fan of WWF or such fights – otherwise if it goes a flop
it will be on TV next month and if it goes hit – still within 6 months you will
watch it on TV. – So don’t waste money. PAISA BACHAO BETTER MOVIES COMING UP IN
SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR!!
Drishyam 4/5
Drishyam is about a common man living a simple life and how sometimes due to
uncalled circumstances the family gets trapped into situation which they didn’t
even think of in their dreams. If you think of it is a very simple case which
you think can be solved easily especially when you have Tabu as the hard-core
police officer in front of you and when she comes on screen you have that line
in your mind “Ab ye toh Gaya”. But here comes the twist we forget that Ajay
Devgan (who keeps repeating that he chauthi fail) has a mind of devil when it
comes to save his family. The director has very smartly just wrapped the whole crime
scene and the cover up story so quickly that you don’t get time to think of any
loop holes. Ajay has done an excellent job I don’t think of any other actor in
Hindi cinema could pull of this act – I read in his recent interviews when he
said that he does movies which work at the box office – Ajay this is one of
them – sorry not Action Jackson. Tabu
what should I say? I have always been her fan whether it is in Astitva as a
household wife or Haider – no matter how small or big the role is she makes
sure here presence felt. Ajay Devgan’s family- wife and two daughters are good
too. A special mention for the younger daughter who keeps you glued till the
last 30 minutes with her act. The
problem is in our Hindi cinema is we don’t make such movies and even if we want
to we make sure we take popular actors Amir Khan (Talash) Varun Dhawan
(Badlapur) thinking at least opening achi milegi and agar story mein dum nahi
nikla toh audience actor ki wajah se theatre mein ayegi movie dekhne (at least
once) - I have to say with a pinch of salt even this one is a remake of south- no
original plot. Watch it if you’re
bored of watching the typical Bollywood
movies and yes Ajay Devgan is worth at least once to go and watch his movies in
the theatre. Go For This One! And
don’t miss the Climax!
Bajrangi Bhaijaan
4/5 after Ready, Ek tha Tiger, Kick etc. after watching all 100 crore and above
Salman movies this is the only one which is worth 300 core movie. Salman plays
the innocent guy again and kareena acts her best as supporting actress – Well I know she is the lead actress but her
role is isn’t much as usual. The highlight of the movie is the little girl Harshaali
Malhotra who steals the show. She is cute – her expressions are so innocent and
perfect without a dialogue – that on other hand you feel only if kareena can
shut up and do the same. The only drawback in movie was when you have such a
good story line and strong characters the audience wants to know what happens
next – in the beginning the unnecessary songs and luv story of Salman and Kareena
– again with a song distracts you from the story line and makes you think ok –
Get back to the girl and continue. The second half is what the best part of the
movie is - Nawazuddin Siddiqui-
being supporting cast still takes the 50% of movie on his shoulders and with
his comic timing and emotions takes the show.
The movie is worth to watch this time “n” numbers of times. Salman this
time your Eidi was worth. J
ABCD 2: 1/5 I
can write the review for this movie in one line – if you are a fan of the dance
shows on TV then you will love it. Otherwise the movie has nothing! Oh yeah it has – Shraddha Kapoor straight
from Ek Villain – to ABCD 2 sets – Chirpy
- a less noisy and more bearable this time. Varun – amazing Dancer –
lost his acting skills to learn dance and make 6 pack abs for this movie. A
special mention only to Punit Pathak – who played dumb and deaf – he really
acted well – loved him in ABCD and my love just grew for him in this one. Time
pass watch!
Dil Dhadakne do
3.5/5 You know there is this dialogue from old classic movie Chupke Chupkke
where our Veeru paji (Dharmendar) tells Amitabh “Actor kya hota hai Director Ki
haath ki katputli” Zoya has just followed this norm! Writing review for movie –
is basically judging the good and bad, criticizing it and telling the director
indirectly that you could have made it better!! But what will you tell a
perfectionist? Zoya Akhtar in today’s date is a director with perfect vision.
Tanu Weds Manu
Returns 2.5/5 I loved Tanu and Manu in part1 and my expectations bar
raised when part 2 was announced. But unfortunately both my favourite
characters failed. The first half of the movie was strong and took off lives of
Tanu and Manu really well in two different cities Kanpur and Delhi – but the
flight that took off well – landed nowhere for me. In part one each and every
character from Tanu to Manu to Pappi to Jassi to Payal and Raja were well
defined. In Part 2 – all were wasted. The only character that shined for me was
Kusum aka Kangana Ranaut. She was the highlight of the movie and I genuinely
felt bad at the end for her. I would say a strong first half lost its plot in
second half dragged till the end only so Manu can get her Tanu again and leave
Pappi single again god knows what happened to his love life for whom so much
drama took placed to runaway the bride and
leave Raja( Jimmy Shergill) lonely forever again.
Piku: 4/5 so
I met Piku. She is workaholic, strong independent - but still needs a
companion, angry stressed, frustrated, cute, loveable, and cunning. She loves
her family but can never show, she tries to be sweet when frustrated, but ends
up being the bad one, selfish but yet caring. She is any other girl in today’s
date, she is me. Amitabh - what should I say he is the best!! Irfan khan:
he plays one of those boys, where every girl wishes for (not because he is
hot or cute) because he makes a girl looks into his eyes I thinks (ok he can
understand my parents more than I can and yes he can tolerate them), Trust me
all you boys there who are busy making 6 pack abs, if you want to patofy a girl
watch Piku. A movie which makes you laugh and also makes you feel emotional.
This is not a Karan Johar or Anurag Basu movie where we concentrate on
screenplay, dresses, cinematography and Intensity or how good the music is.
This is a simple story of what you and I live daily, without having any background
music and Manish Malhotra wardrobe. Watch it if you want have glimpse of your
life in 2 hours.
Dum laga ke haisha
4/5 the movie takes you back in the 90's era a quick flash back to your
childhood without FB and twitter! Loved the movie cause of its simplicity and
characters you can connect in real life!! No sexy actress and actor with 6 pack
abs! A story with a great message especially for fat women who are first asked
to pray god so they get married and then asked to thank god – if they get
married and also adjust (even if you husband doesn’t love or respect you) cause – BE THANKFULL you at least got married. Set
back in 90’s the movie also repeats the concept of arrange marriages and how
they are always set with the rule “ye fevicol ka jor hai tutega nahi” Ayushmaan
Khuranna and Bhumi act so realistic that every frame looks convincing and the
joint family members acts effortlessly. I wish Bollywood could understand that
you don't need hifi star cast and posh sets to make great movie!!
Badlapur 3/5
is based on one of my favourite dialogues from the movie Haider ‘Inteqam
(avenge) se sirf Inteqam paida hota hai. Jab tak hum apne inteqam se azaad nahi
hote, azadi bhi Hume azad nahi kar sakti.’
Now the question is if Raghu (Varun Dhawan) manages to get azadi or not! The first few minutes of the movie with minimal background score keeps you glued to the screen. After ROCKSTAR I guess everyone wants to make a confusing screenplay and leave it for the audience to join it in the end, if it succeeds then it is a Hit! Badlapur does succeed, it make some sense in the movie. The only thing it could have been better if certain things where conveyed properly unless if you have watched Haider you may understand it!! Varun Dhawan is getting better and portrays the intense look at his best. Special mention to Nawazuddin he was good- you could say he was the hero!! Watch it if you’re depressed after watching Roy or if you like intense, sad but still good Cinema!!
