(4 / 5)

An outstanding performance from the legend actor Ranganathan Madhavan as a Boxing Champion, who later on served as a coach to the Indian Women Boxing Team. He rocked the screen with outstanding aura and body language. It seem like he lived the character, he appears in a muscular macho look with rough beard and long hairs. As the name of the movie “Saala Khadoos” depicts he is in the role of a tough guy, very hard to impress and totally dedicated towards boxing.

Director Sudha Kongara Prasad executed the movie so beautifully, it is a perfect blend of thrill, emotion and drama. The girl Ritika Singh nailed the character with her fantastic performance as a poor backward girl from slums of Chennai turning into an international level boxing champion. She is portrayed as an angry young woman, who started her career in boxing for money, which later on turned as her true passion.

You can see Nassar one of the famous face of Tamil Cinema in a supporting role as a Junior Coach for Ritika Singh. Movie is portraying the dirty politics and corruption happening in our country’s sports authorities. Despite all the barriers the combo of coach and trainee lead them to their impossible dream of being an International Champion in Boxing, earning a gold medal for India. Movie also gives a message to the society and our government that, if politics is evaded from sports you can get champions from every next street of our country. (Agar sports se politics hata de toh, gali gali mai champion milega).

Watch the movie for an enthusiastic story and a brilliant performance by R Madhavan.

Airlift – Movie Review

One of the most awaited film of 2016, predicted as a block buster before it’s release because of the deadly combo of Akshay Kumar and the story line. Director Raja Menon amazingly made the movie with a perfect direction leading the story in a mix and match of thrill and emotion.

Akshay Kumar rocked the screen with his outstanding performance as Ranjit Katyal (based on the real life character Sunny Mathew), an influential business person based in Kuwait. He is one of the key person who stood with 1, 70,000 Indians based there and helped them to get back to our country. Movie has realistic filming and sets are amazingly designed just like a war zone. Nimrat Kaur did a fantastic Job as wife of Akshay Kumar, supported the pace of the movie towards the peak.

You can see Lena (Actress from Kerala) as a Malayali with some Malayalam dialogues and Purab Kohli as Ibrahim in supporting roles doing really well. The story of the movie is based on the real incident where India owes a Guinness World Record for the largest Airlift evacuation in the history. It happened on 2nd August 1990, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and the Iraq Army took over the Kuwait in few hours. The Kuwait Government escaped to Saudi Arabia without even thinking about their people and massive population from outside Kuwait working there. In the collaboration of Indian Airlines, Air India and Air Force, India did this heroic evacuation by operating 488 flights from 13th August to 11th October 1990. A total of 1, 70,000 people were airlifted to Mumbai.

Movie is also having some beautiful songs like “Soch Na Sake” and “Tu Bhoola Jise” making the soul more strong. I salute the officials who worked behind this historical event of 1990 but on the same time movie also project the lack of coordination and arrangement of our country in this kind of situation. But I am proud that in our current time, we are well equipped and alerted for this kind of situation as an example the rescue mission of Indian national nurses from Syria last year.

Go and watch the movie to experience history and thrill…

Chalk n Duster – Movie Review

It is a movie or I can say mirror reflection of our education system, which is getting ruined day by day in the name of business. Movie is a great presentation, beautifully directed by Jayant Gilatar with few lows here and there but overall it is a must and worth watch for every single person. Movie give a message to our society to remember back your teachers who made your life, who build your foundation in the initial almost 15 years of life. It’s all about respecting your teachers and to know the importance of their noble role in our life. It is about the rights and justice towards every single person who teaches, irrespective of the platform.

Film begins with a happy go life of few teachers of a school, lead roles are played by the beautiful Juhi Chawla and Shabana Azmi. Both of them are as always brilliant and outstanding at their roles and outraged the performance to a great level. In between the movie it becomes little predictable and lagging nearby and after interval. It appears that the climax is almost predictable, but suddenly the pace of the movie increase and the climax appear with a guest appearance of Mr. Rishi Kapoor with a nice hyped energy of emotions and thrill. Movie is portraying the senior, educated, so much talented teachers of our country who have their own way of teaching which actually bring out the personality of students and it definitely make the students grab the things easily.

You can see Divya Dutta in a negative role playing it so powerfully that you gonna hate her throughout the movie. Upasana Singh (bua of Comedy Nights with Kapil) is in the movie adding little bit comedy and spice in the drama.

Overall it is a must watch for every person who really respect their teachers…

I would like to thanks all my teachers hereby whole heartily for making me what I am in my life.

Wazir – Movie Review

Wazir is a chess piece that moves like a rook, but can go only one square. This movie is a thriller story of an ATS officer along with an accidentally disabled man fighting against an anti-social evil. It is a brilliant package of awesome things bagged in one as Amitabh Bachchan, Farhan Akhtar and story by Vidhu Vinod Chopra… This deadly combo can make awesome movies like this undoubtedly. Director Bejoy Nambiar has given his best .

The legend of acting Mr. Amitabh Bachchan is somewhere overshadowing Farhan with some really catchy and bold dialogues. But the way Farhan acts, it is like, how effortlessly he is in the character, is commendable. Movie starts with a very sweet song featuring the beautiful Aditi Rao Hydari and Farhan Akhtar sung by Sonu Nigam (after a long time, I am hearing Mr. Nigam in a new release). Every scene is filled up with thrill and emotions which will definitely give goose bumps to audience. You can see a surprise appearance of two persons in the movie giving addon points to the story.

Director worked on every aspect and angle of the movie for example there is a scene where Farhan Akhtar is trying to suicide with a revolver but something distract his concentration and then he give up the idea. This is a natural tendency of human being as once the brain is prepared for suicide and if it get distracted, it is hard to get it back to that decision as the wise part will take over the evil side of our brain.

The only lacking part I felt is the final climax, which was little predictable for me. This made me to rate the movie 4 stars rather than my mid movie decision of 4.5 stars.
