Jai Ho LLB!

My Movie Review/ Take on  Jolly LLB

Highly Entertaining and Engaging Movie…. Liked it.
1st Half was Good but the 2nd Half takes the Cake away and is Mind-Blowing… Espc. the Invesgative Drama and the Courtroom Sequences added were Quite Brilliant in the 2nd Half.

Yes, the movie is NOT Perfect Potrayal of Indian Judiciary, has a Jolly-good feel to it and has an Happy(but Impractical) Ending to it but fellas.. When we can accept a Munnabhai MBBS and 3Idiots then why be Unnecessarily Harsh on Jolly LLB.

What bogs down the Movie is a Weak 1st Half, the “Usual” Bollywood Trappings and some really unwanted sequences here and there that act as Irritating “Fillers”.

But, JLLB has it’s Heart set at the right place and will leave you engaged and entertained at the end of it’s run time… Don’t be Fooled by the Trailers of it being a Comedy though :/

Theek-Thaak Che, Mast-Majja Nathi!

My Take/Movie Review of ‘Kai Po Che’

Let Me Begin by Saying that I Never Liked ’3Mistakes of My Life’ at all though I’m a Hugeeeee Chetan Bhagat Fan but 3MOML Remains his Weakest Novel till date.

I had Very High Hopes from KPC considering the Fact that Abhi Kapoor[whose Rock On I had Loved a lot], UTV was backing it, Nice Young Feel of Friendship in the Backdrop of Cricket, Caste Politics, Gujarat Earthquake and Godhra Riots.
And, KPC managed to Dissapoint to an Extent on Some Counts but was Good at Places too.

Let Me Begin by saying that,Amit Trivedi’s Outstanding Music is the ‘Jaan’ of KPC and he Manages to Create a High Impact with just 3 Songs.. Kudos to Hitesh Sonik for the BG Score.

Costume Design by Niharika Khan is Good.
Cinematography and Shades used were Really Average… Maybe the Idea was to Recreate the Early 2000′s but it Simply wasn’t Working.

VVS – 26

i.e Very Very Special Chabees

.

My ‘Take/Movie Review’ of
Special-26

A Very Good Movie by Many
Standards, Dissapointing by
Some but a Satisfying Watch
Nonetheless.

Espc. Loved the Way, the
Story was Stringed across
Different Cities and Places
across India.

Yes, the Romantic Track and
the Songs were a Drawback
but that was because the
Movie in itself was So
Engrossing and Fast that these
Portions Acted as a Major Deterent to the Proceedings.
Add to it, they weren’t even
Well-Made and Kajal was a
Total Miscast for the Part[Heck,
Manoj's Wife & Neeru Bajwa
looked Better].

But Move Aside from that
Fact and what you get is a
Brilliantly Fast Paced Thrilling Movie with Strong
Performances that Entertains you to the Core.

Akela Daudega, Phir bhi Iss RACE Main Dusre Number Par Aayega… :P

My ‘Take/Movie Review’ of Race-2

RATING: 2.5/5

As a Sequel to a Much-Loved RACE ['08], it Pales in Comparison,
BIG TIME[Same with Double
Dhamaal, KSKHH, Jannat-2].

The Glaring Loopholes and
Cinematic Liberties taken by
Abbas-Mustan are ‘Toooo
Much’ and the Execution is
Similar to their Own ‘Players/­Race-1′.

A Big Dissapointment
Directing/Story/Script Wise.

The DIALOGUES are so
Unintentionally Funny at Places
that We Ended up Laughing at
them More than 5-6 Times
[Watch Out for that Sequence
where John tells Saif as to why he Killed Bipasha.. That
was One SuperROFL and
Hilarious Moment].

HONEST BOLLYWOOD AWARDS – 2013

Best Picture – English Vinglish[4.5/5]

A Delightfully Sweet Movie with One of the Strongest Female Protagonist I’ve Seen on Screen.

‘English Vinglish’ is One of those Few Bollywood Movies that have Touched Me Deeply and Connected with Me Like NO Movie Before.

Ta-fuq?

My Views/Take on TALAASH

This Being My Most Awaited
Movie this Year, I am
Dissapointed to an Extent by
TALAASH.

Reema Kagti’s Supposed
‘Suspense’ Turned
‘Supernatural’ Thriller Starts
of Well and Builds it’s Premise Interestingly thru the Marine Drive’s and Kamatipura’s of Mumbai.

Infact, the Entire Prostitution
Track Consisting of Well Cast
Unknown Actors and Nawaaz
is Highly Engaging and Gives a
Certain Raw/Real Feel to the
Movie.

But, the Relatively Slow Pace
and the Unintelligent Ending
[Kareena Saving Aamir inside
the Water/Aamir Digging the Grave/Burning her Remains] Harm the Movie Big Time.

Aafaton ke Parindey!

My Views on ‘Ishaqzaade’

RATING: 4/5

Easily One of the Best Romantic Drama Movies I’ve Seen after a Loong Time from Bollywood and So Repenting it that I Missed it on the Big Screen.

The Awesome Lead Chemistry btwn Arjun-Parineeti was Passionate, Wild, Vulnerable and Sizzling, all at Once.

Habib Faisal just goes onto show what a Genuine Talent he is in B-Town and after Years of Struggle, he has just showcased it back to back in BBB, DDC and Ishaq.

Genuine Stories with Strikingly Good Dialogues Set in the North Parts of India is her Forte and he is doing a Bloody Amazing Job of it.

Nikal Gayi Hain Jaan..!!!

NOTE: These are My Comments Written from My FAcebook Status Update…. That’s why the Review will seem Distorted but You guys should get the Flow.

‘Jab Tak Hain Jaan’ is Shit in the Name of Cinema…. Utter Crap!

Disgusted, Dissapointed and Angry…

I can’t Compose Myself to Review this Movie… I Just Cannot… I just don’t know what to say Exactly….

Yeh Kya Tha Tiger???

My Take on ‘Ek Tha Tiger’

RATING: 2.5/5

A Normal “Salman Khan”
Movie which could have been
Much More Better with the
Core Topic at Hand but Alas, It
was Not Made with a Greater
Sense of Purpose & Conviction.

Not Even a Single Actor Managed to
Give a Impactful Performance
in the Entire Duration of the
Movie…Each One of them was
Acting Like they were ‘Going
about their Jobs’ …Getting the Work Done…No Real Effort at all.

Kabir Khan’s Direction is at a Big Fault here… He Manages to Create a Wonderful Premise in the Fantastic 1st Half of the Movie but all that is Blown Away by an Equally Pathetic 2nd Half and a Shoddy Ending.

The Brilliant Positives, What Stands Out in the Movie
are the Locales, The Interesting Moments and Interactions in
the 1st Half btwn Tiger and
Zoya and the Action Scenes
[Though Tacky at Places].

Timepass of the Year!

My Take on ‘Student of the Year’

RATING: 3/5

An Fun, Timepass Movie[Not at all Meant to be Taken Seriously at all].

A Purr-fectly Nice Outing with your Teenage Friends.

Karan Johar does this Stuff
Superbly… Like Barjatya’s in
Modern Day World Mode[They themselves Failed with MPKDH] but No Beating Johar on this Terrain which is his Stronghold.

A More Controlled Budget and a 62cr wud have Guranteed a Superhit but Nonetheless it’s a Clean Success[Damn Happy for Dharma and KJo... LoL on those Haters of Johar Drama World].

The Past 5Years of Ajay Devgn.

Clean Successes[BO Wise] of
Ajay Devgn in Past 5Years
without Rohit “SuperKool”
Shetty :-

1. Athiti Tum Kab Jaoge?
[2.5/5] – 30cr

Sleeper HIT in 2010, Directed by SOS Director Ashwini Dhir. Well Appreciated among the Family/TV Audience, but Paresh was the STAR of the Movie IMO[Devgn was Sleepwalking].

2. Rajneeti[4/5] – 94cr

A Surprise BB of 2010 with a
Strong Act by the Ensemble
Cast. One of Jha’s Best Work till date. Most of the Credit went to Ranbir-Katrina Jodi and Devgn’s Role was Reduced and Least Impactive wrt Ranbir, Nana, Bajpayee.

Tumhi Ho Bandhu, Sakha Tumhi…!!!

OMG! – Oh My God!

RATING – 3/5

……………

A Simple[But Sometimes
Tacky & too Dumbed Down!]
yet Powerful Movie with a
Sensible Message!

Yes, The Production Values
Suck, the Setpieces look Unreal,
the Editing is Bizzare and the
Storyline & Buildup is Not the
Works of a Talented Director.

But, this Umesh Shukla Movie
somewhere down the Line
Connects with you[Espc. For
us,Relegiously Inclined
Indians].

It Does Question God’s
Existence[A Highly Sensitive/
Controversiall
Issue] but goes abt doing so in
Such an Entertaining and Light
Manner that One doesn’t Feel Offended as such…You Connect
with the Movie, You Strike a
Chord with it…It Makes u
Think…Re-analyse your Faith,Belief!

Live Life… Barfi! Style.. ^_^

My Take/Review on Barfi!

RATING – 4/5

BEWARE FOLKS.. Barfi! is,

- A Film which is Bound to Leave you with a BIG SMILE on your Face

- A Film that will Make you Fall in Love with Ranbir’s Talent, Acting & that ‘So Awesome yet Cute’ Smile..!

- A Film that is Sure to Touch your Heart and Make you go WoW!

Set in the 70′s against the Backdrop of a Beautiful Looking Darjeeling & Kolkatta, Barfi[Ranbir] is an Immensely Likeable but Penniless Streetsmart Fellow who Falls for Shruti[Illena].

The #Rank of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’

So, after Truckload of Comments(Hate,Negative,Fantatism,Inspiring & Positive Ones) the Humongous 5day Figures and a General Good WOM

Ye Kahan Aa Gaye Hum!

“Okay, we have already seen
still images of Yash Chopra’s
next directorial venture but
not many know that posters
of the film are also ready.

A few days ago, someone accidentally put up a poster in Yash Raj Studios but Yash Chopra got his staff to take it down.

A reputed producer who was shooting at the studio had a glimpse of the poster and shared it with us.

According to him,the poster shows Shah Rukh Khan standing in the snow gazing at Katrina Kaif.
The film also features
Anushka Sharma in a Prominent Role.

ROCKING RATHORE…!!!!

My View on ‘Rowdy Rathore’

RATING – 3.5/5

- Nice Timepass Fun if u go with a Gang of Friends

- SUPERB ACTION(A Perfect Mixture of OTT & Slick Action…Wayy Better than then the Recent Southern Entertainers…Akshay is Action Khiladi)

- Nice Dramatic Scenes filled with Tension…Scene after ‘Pritam Pyaare’ Song is the Best of the Movie

- Loads of Sonakshi “Belly”
Show…She has No Talent whatsoever, is Overhyped and Cashing on other’s Success(Same like Kareena).

Movies I just saw….

“The Devil’s Double”

A Highly Sexual Movie with
Supreme Violent Content and some Heck of a Powerful Acting by the Entire Starcast.

I promise you, the Movie will make you Uncomfortable…
And No, it’s Not Even a Horror Movie.

The Sheer Discipline with
which the Director has
potrayed the Ill Happenings in Iraq during the War with US is Gut Wrenching.

I am amazed that Dominic
Cooper dint even get a Fucking Nomination for his Role of Uday Hussain/Latif.
