Ok Jaanu – Movie Review

January 16, 2017 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(3 / 5)

A simple and light weight movie to chill upon and will really give you some cozy feelings. The story and theme is targeted to the new generation audience who will actually get involved in the story while watching it. It is not comparable with Aashiqui 2 as both have a different story prospect. Aashiqui 2 was a kind of love story which is portraying the madness and sacrifice for love. This one is presenting the love life of every next youngster living in metro cities far from families. One of the biggest truth of current Indian Generation is like they want a causal relationship, a western outlook to their life but most of them don’t realize that from the bottom of the heart they are still someone who actually want to be in a relationship where they want love like 90’s Bollywood movies. Even if they want that from inside, don’t want to accept it coz they believe it may stop them to be modern or it makes them feel like a classic person or this is the way of life.

Well not going out of topic let’s talk about the movie.
Movie is all about a couple who met in a common friend’s marriage ceremony and get attracted to each other. Both individuals have different aspects in their life and were chasing the same. So, don’t want to be in a relationship where any commitment is needed. But as somebody rightly said love happens without your permissions, it is a feeling which can be controlled, but you cannot erase it from your brain ever, if you ever felt true love for anybody. Then there is a journey of couple living together with beautiful light moments and with an obvious climax. The lacking point of the movie is the climax, which is very predictable and straight. But the pace of the movie was good and entertainer throughout the whole two hours fifteen minutes.
The lead actors Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor were really awesome and they look so natural while doing these kinds of roles. Shraddha no doubt looking very beautiful in the movie and best thing about her is like she actually represents the beauty of a girl every next door. It is the simplicity and cuteness more than the beauty which actually made her perfect. Commendable acting by the legend actor Naseeruddin Shah and Leela Samson. Music is very awesome composed by A R Rahman, specially the Enna Sona and Hamma Hamma song.

A light romantic movie for a one time watch with beautiful songs.

Kahaani 2 – Movie Review

(3.5 / 5)

A movie from Director Sujoy Ghosh and it is not a sequel of the movie released in 2012 Kahaani. It is a new story casting the same outstandingly talented Vidya Balan in the character of a women from West Bengal. Movie is very beautifully directed with awesome screen play and direction. It is able to keep the pace always up from the beginning to end. The thrill and suspense is maintained till the end as the plot was demanding. Arjun Rampal is playing the character of a cop who is investigating the case of Vidya Balan.

As shown in the trailer, the movie is all about a woman from rural area who was working in a school as admin attended, who comes across a girl child who was victim of child abuse at her own home. Vidya Balan tried exploring the things more and get into trouble. Then the story went on with various twists and turns leading to a very thrilling climax. Movie is delivering a message of awareness towards child abuse in the society. A kid cannot identify the difference between love and lust, he or she been exploited by the people, sometimes the very dear and near one in the society is the culprit. They cannot express it to anyone and it eventually lead to a different life with so much trauma in the childhood. The parents and family should always be alert and try to educate as much as possible to the children and try to be open with them.

Arjun Rampal paid justice to his role with a character of an inspector who actually played the trump card in the movie and made it more interesting. Jugal Hansraj the chocolaty guy from Mohabbatein is there in the movie playing the negative role.

Overall it is a must watch for an awesome movie with some good message

Dear Zindagi – Movie Review

(3 / 5)

A movie which is different from the league and truly shows a different prospective of life. Director Gauri Shinde nailed the concept and presented it in a very beautiful manner. The low part of the movie is first half which is little lagging and seems likes audience doesn’t have a clue that about what is actually going on in the movie and what is the story. It is after the interval that things lined up and the actual message they want to deliver started reflecting . It is not a movie for mass as surely it is not on the Bollywood masala category. Casting of Shahrukh is obviously grabbing more people to the theater but not everybody is happy with the movie. But it is a master piece which you should actually understand by going into the depth of the story.

Movie is all about loving your life and how to tackle the problems in your life with a positive node. It shows life of a person who is actually living with a scare inside or an insecurity which was driving the life of that person in a negative way. Eventually the movie will teach you how to overcome your fears and insecurity. On the other side, it is also showing the life of a child who was estranged by parents, to live with grandparents, and whose parents were not kind enough towards her childhood. If the love and care a kid needed was not provided at the right time and right age will really change the way of life ahead.

A fantastic performance by Alia Bhatt and she is delivering her best day by day. Shahrukh Khan is playing the role of a Brain Doctor who actually thinks in a different way for helping people to come out of the various mental issues. I don’t have to mention about the legendary actor, it is always awesome watching him with some real acting. You can find a bunch of actors like Ali Hassan, Kunal Kapoor in the movie as some meaningful character delivering good acting.

It is a must watch to learn something which probably help you in your life.

Force 2 – Movie Review

(3 / 5)

The ACP Yashvardhan is back again with Force 2, on the lines of 2011 release Force (Directed by Nishikant Kamat) but this time directed by Abhinay Deo and produced by John Abraham and Vipul Amrutlal Shah. The movie is packed with brilliant action sequences with an average story line but the pace and thrill was maintained in the whole movie which actually made it a good entertainer.

Movie is all about a cop from Mumbai Police department joined up with RAW agent KK to trapping down a master mind terrorist. In this mission, they are travelling around the Europe tackling various challenges. There is chase scene between ACP Yashvardhan (John Abraham) and terrorist (Tahir Bhasin), this kind of situation is repeated two times in the movie which was little lagging as per me. Some action scenes were awesome with various camera techniques, like playing a video game. In the last movie, you watched John lifting motorcycle with his bare hands and now he is lifting a car in this movie.

As always, he is beefed up with awesome muscles with eight pack abs and looking massive all over the movie. The role of KK is played by Sonakshi Sinha who is actually re-writing the persona of actresses in Indian cinema doing action movies like Aakira and now Force 2. Both John and Sonakshi did a fantastic Job in the movie and it was fun and thrill watching them throughout the two hours seven minutes.You can see Adil Hussain in the movie as a minister and a cameo role by Boman Irani and Genelia D’Souza flashing back the old Force movie memories.

Overall it is a onetime watch for some thriller actions!

Rock On 2 – Movie Review

November 12, 2016 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(2 / 5)

Rock On (2008) was Directed by Abhishek Kapoor and now the Sequel Rock On 2 Directed by Shujaat Saudagar is a complete disappointment in the terms of entertainment. Movie is same as old based on Rock Musical Drama but this time the soul is not there, neither the music is good. Story is the culprit; it is not holding the audience to movie. Till the interval I was searching for pickup in the story line but it was lagging from the beginning till the interval. Exactly I want to say it was too boring till the interval. But it doesn’t mean that after interval it picked up, it was still in the same lag. In the last 30 minutes of the movie it looks like yes now something interesting will happen and was waiting for that. But the climax also was not much happening but at least better than the ninety percent of the movie.

No complaints regarding the actors, everybody did well as per the characters and the story demanded. The movie failed with the story, direction and music. The Rock On (2008) has set a certain level of expectation and standard, so this one should be above that. I believe even Farhan Akhtar also may be realizing after watching this movie that it is not up to the mark. Other than the previous cast Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Prachi Desai the new add-ons are Shraddha Kapoor, and Shashank Arora. Kumud Mishra is there in the role of a famous traditional musician and father of Shraddha Kapoor and must say not used him as per his capability.

When we think about Rock On, it is all about the music. Now this sequel is with such music which is completely pathetic and with soul less story. In the climax they played the old Rock On title song for some minutes which at least brought some smile on the face.

Well, it is a disappointment from Farhan Akhtar.
