Happy New Year – Movie Review

2.5 out of 5 stars (2.5 / 5)

“Happy New Year” – As the name depicts it’s a kind of Happy go Bollywood movie. The first half was very slow and I got depressed that another disaster from Farah Khan. However, the movie regained the strength & soul after the interval and could get the hold over the audience emotionally. Overall it was nice watching the colorful presentation with beautiful sets and lightings. The lights at Dubai Palm Island and other dance sets added richness to the movie which is a usual Farah Khan element as was in Om Shanti Om.

Shahrukh Khan flaunting his 10 Packs abs with lean ripped muscles, an improved version of Dard-e-Disco. You will find him doing the same signature style hand lift along with motivational dialogues as usual. Obviously no need to comment over his acting skills, you can find a good performance from his side as an actor. Deepika Padukon looking good and nice dance sequences with item song ‘Lovely’.




Brilliant performance by Booman Irani and Sonu Sood. Abhishek Bachan in double role also did justice to his role. Vivaan Shah the new guy (Son of Nazruddin Shah) not much in spot light but seems a good start for him in Bollywood.

Story is all about a bunch of losers all settled for a big robbery with the support of World Dance Championship and nobody in the group can really shake even their legs. Dramatically head towards accomplishing their mission keeping the tribute and love towards our country India by winning the dance competition internationally. Robbery is a revenge against the villain Jacky Shroff which is the main stream reason for the movie.

My final verdict is don’t expect other than a typical Farah Khan presentation and it’s a good one- time family entertainer for most.

Ekkees Topon Ki Salaami – Movie Review

2.5 out of 5 stars (2.5 / 5)

“Ekkees Topon Ki Salaami” – A one-time average watch. But should appreciate the brilliant heart touching performance by Anupam Kher… I salute and respect him from the bottom of my heart. Love to see him doing such roles. He is engrossed in the character so much that it is hard to believe that he is acting on screen.

Movie is a good effort by Director Ravindra Gautam but lacks the emotional hold over audience, which is required in this kind of stories. However, Anupam Kher did that, rest bunch of actors did well but the main lead Divyendu Sharma not met with the expectation.

ekkees-toppon-ki-salaami-movie-review
Movie is all about the race to gain the respect for Subash Joshi’s (Divyendu) dead father Purushotam (Anupam Kher) by giving him 21 Canon’s Salute on his funeral. He accomplished that but as per my point of view it would be better if in the story his struggle and fight would have justified that ekkees topon ki salaami with due respect rather than the way he gained it in the movie.




Well thats all about the storyline. Liked the song “Ghoor Ghoor ke” in the amazing voice of Sona Mohapatra. Quite well-choreographed on Neha Dupia and a tribute to most of the famous bollywood Villans.

Watch it for the brilliant performance of Anupam Kher…

Haider – Movie Review

4 out of 5 stars (4 / 5)

What a movie… Brilliant is the word for Vishal Bharadwaj for this wonderful gift to Hindi Film Industry. It is a master piece of Film Art and Cinematography. The way of presentation includes Drama, Music and Colourful Dance with great Choreography.

Movie is based on the life of Kashmir from the past 68 years. The way of there living, the kind of adversities faced by the people living there. Torture by militants and Army towards common people.

“The film is inspired by Shakespeare’s famous play Hamlet but not 100%.”

Outstanding performance by Shahid Kapoor and K. K. Menon. It seems Shahid Kapoor is back with a Bang by beating Bang Bang on Box Office this week. Movie is not for very light hearted people as blood and violence is full coloured in the presentation. As expected mature acting from Tabu what add-on is the performance by bubbly Shraddha Kapoor.

Go and watch the movie if you want to know the ground reality of problems and the way of living of Kashmir People along with a excellent Directed performance from Vishal Bharadwaj.

Bang Bang! – Movie Review

1.5 out of 5 stars (1.5 / 5)

Bang Bang! – Fully banged my mind… Another disaster for Hrithik and Katrina Kaif. Movie offers nothing other than good locations, fight scenes and Hrithik’s six pack abs.

As everyone know, this movie mirrors Hollywood movie Knight and Day, it is nothing other than mere a copy. Soulless, story less piece of time waste. Same larger than life actions and stunts like super heroes. Our hero never get hurts even if he is two or three bullets down. Katrina looking gorgeous and Hrithik Roshan as always mind blowing with his Greek look charisma topped with ripped six packs/eight packs abs.




But, I hope movie will do well on Single Screens as it is a bundle of nice actions like fly-board sequence and driving formula-1 car on streets reminds me the movie “Driven”

Why you should watch Bang Bang?

1. Nice locations
2. Colorful Timepass
3. Action and Stunts
4. Hardcore Hrithik/Katrina Fan
5. You have nothing to do.

Khoobsurat – Movie Review

1.5 out of 5 stars (1.5 / 5)

Movie is a kind of Disney Fairy Tale as Sonam Kapoor becoming Disney Princess. A complete showcase of Rajasthani Palaces, Lifestyle of Royal Families and will definitely tempt you to visit the Royal Land Rajasthan.

You cannot compare it with Old movie Khoobsurat as It’s a straight and simple girl meeting her prince of dream love story.

The presentation is very much colourful… Sonam Kapoor as per role completely gave justice, but the movie is not something which not most of the Indian audience will digest. Anyway it may appeal some or may be not for some.

khoobsurat-movie-first-look-poster-released-1Ratna Pathak “The famous Sarabhai Lady” is in the same role as she in the serial. Kirron Kher as Manju…. a typical Punjabi mom but not much role in the movie. The movie is centric to Sonam Kapoor and the hero Fawad Khan… Nothing much to say about Fawad Khan with lesser dialogues and emotion less, expression less acting… may be director felt that suits his role..

Overall if you have nothing special to do, like to have good glimpse of Rajasthan, a Cartoon Lover… GO FOR IT!!!

Daawat-e-Ishq – Movie Review

2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5)

Movie is based on evil of the society Dowry System. A very nice colorful presentation from Yashraj Films with the Charming Aditya Roy Kapoor and the chubby Parineeti Chopra. First half of the movie was going higher and higher with thrills, drama and comedy but all fell down after the interval. Movie lost the speed and soul in second half with poor climax. It would be completely rocking if they could end up with some more masala, action or suspense at the end.
Well, Movie will definitely create some fear over dowry seekers. It will encourage the family of girls not to flow with the so called tradition of dowry and should stood up with confident. No more drama in marriages like all pressure is over girl’s family… Please change this thought…

Back to movie… Fantastic showcase of Lucknow and Hyderabadi Zaika portraying all the famous dishes like Mutton Ghosht, Seekh Kabab, Hyderabadi Biryani, Shahi Tukda, Gulab Jamun, Rabdi, kheer etc… Yes just like your mouth started watering reading this review, will felt the same sitting in the theater watching all these dishes in the restaurant of Aditya Roy Kapoor. Some multiplexes already started selling Daawat-e-Ishq combos because they know interval duration will be a rush to snack bar for all foodies like me watching the movie.

Overall you can watch the move for some refreshment and too enjoy a light story not bundled so much.

Creature 3D – Movie Review

2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5)

First thing to mention is Amazing 3D effects as it was not a 3D simulation but an actual 3D movie. After so long a good 3D and perfect use of VFX animation in Bollywood. Story of the movie is based on a monster portrayed as “Brahm Rakshas” based on Hindu mythological facts. A kind of evil powers you can hear every next door at inside villages of India.

Bipasha Basu, as usual looking stunning but don’t know why she is looking more refreshed and pretty on this thriller presentation. The low down for the movie was Imran Abbas Naqvi the lead male actor; due to crooked looks with the unshaved beard with not great expressions and bad piece of acting. Felt he was not even interested to do the proper lip movement for the song dubbing.

creature-3d-2a
It’s a onetime watch if you want to see Bipasha and good 3D effects. In between you may feel the movie went slow due to the long try scenes to kill the Brahm Rakshas with dramatic 7 Bullets left with Bipasha.

Ending up with the melodious song Saawan aaya hai by the blessed singer Arjit Singh…

Finding Fanny – Movie Review

3 out of 5 stars (3 / 5)

After so long a movie out of the Bollywood track. Caution: Don’t go for movie expecting a Bollywood Masala as like every commercial movie, otherwise you will just messed up as my co-seaters in the theater does. I loved the movie and completely respect toMr. Naseeruddin Shah as he was outstanding in the movie. The way he presented the character was flawless… Deepika as hot as always with that cute dimples…

Finding-Fanny-Cast-ImagesArjun kapoor… hmm.. not that much impact from his character. Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapoor adding the comic flavour with that naughtybumps acts. Portayed the Green Goa so beautifully that I felt Goa Calling me again…

Overall I loved the movie… Again it is a movie for Cinema lovers not Just Bollywood.

Mary Kom – Movie Review

3 out of 5 stars (3 / 5)

A wonderful effort by Priyanka Chopra. I salute the versatility of the actress who easily performs all the roles, which can be Jhilmil of Barfi or Mary Kom or Roma of Don.

marykom priyankaThis movie, as it is tribute to a lady who got a designation as Magnificent Mary. Well movie is all about the biopic of her life. Although movie is not having a hold over audience like what Bhaag Mikha Bhaag does but it is truly enjoyable and motivational for them especially girls who want to achieve dreams by bypassing the typical Indian Obstacles (family/resources/barriers from the authorities/corruption) etc. As it is true story of a living legend it’s a must watch for every Indian to know about them who made our country proud. I am 100% confident that most of us don’t even know the full name of M.C. Mary Kom. Even I came to know about her achievements after watching the movie. She is a five-time World Amateur Boxing champion, and the only woman boxer to have won a medal in each one of the six world championships. Nicknamed Magnificent Mary, she is the only Indian woman boxer to have qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics, competing in the flyweight (51 kg) category and winning the bronze medal. She has also been ranked as No. 4 AIBA World Women’s Ranking Flyweight category.


Movie is not at all boring… It is an entertainer, colourful and motivational. They added some melodrama too at climax to make it more interesting.

Overall I liked it.
