Katti Batti – Movie Review

September 19, 2015 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(1 / 5)

Katti Batti is an attempt to recreate the magic of Kangana with her bold and distinguished sense of acting and performance, but I am feeling sorry for Director Nikhil Advani as it completely went wrong and turned out to be a disaster which will make you bored for complete two and half hours.

Movie started with very slow and depressive momentum, audience expected the momentum to pace up till interval however it never happened till the end. There is not even a bit of hold of the movie over audience as I observed people playing games and leaving the theater in between the movie. Story is based on relationship mess ups and complication and suddenly come up with a ninety’s kind of climax. As mentioned Kangana is in a bold kind of rich girl’s character with a lavish attitude towards life. Flirting with a next to door regular guy’s character played by Imran Khan turned into a true love and their ups and downs of chemistry.

Imran again in a chocolaty look ordinary guy with expression less acting is also a turn off for the film. Movie is full of masala, catchy dialogues and situations but what actually went wrong is the theme of flash backs and the overall presentation and lack of thrill required for this kind of subject.

Well, as per my review it is not even worth watching once

Dil Dhadakne Do – Movie Review

June 6, 2015 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(3 / 5)

A high society family Drama is the one line description for the movie. Movie is a narration of story, surprisingly, by a Bull Dog named Pluto. It is all about the Hippocratic, emotionless and plastic high society Indian families. Again this is not a movie for the next person you know, it is a piece of art, a screenplay from the heart of director Zoya Akhtar. I would say it is an excellent movie in its kind of category, as I said family drama… please don’t compare it with Sooraj Barjatya’s films. This one is different level of our westernised family culture.

As expected, there are some similarities you can find in all the movies of Zoya and that is Travelling, kind of rich western music, high society culture and obviously excellent direction and screenplay. The movie will make you travel from Turkey, Istanbul, Greece and so and so fabulous places. There is always a quotient of motivation factor for life in all her movies.

This movie portrays power, rights and equality of women and most importantly the kind of Hippocratic nature of parents towards children in our Indian society. The way they pressurize children to be like what parents want and not even trying to know what actually the children want to be in their life. Whom to marry and what exactly their aims are… Marriage is not necessity, it is an option and that is not the ultimate aim of a woman in life.

Presenting clearly the relationships of the high society families that they don’t even know about each other. It is one of the truth of so called Indian Arrange Marriages that they stay together because either they don’t have other option or because of society or because of their elders or because it is too late to act for anything or finally may be they compromise with their lives.

Excellent and outstanding acting by Ranveer Singh. The performance and the kind of expression he delivers throughout the movie is awesome. It is a must watch for seeing Ranveer Singh in a new avatar. It is a bunch of talented actors together with a genius director obviously the fruit will be sweet and sober. Good to see Anil Kapoor back in such a good role. Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akhtar, Shefali Shah, Rahul Bose, all gave justice to their roles.

“Go and watch the movie if you like some sensible family drama”

Welcome to Karachi – Movie Review

May 31, 2015 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(2 / 5)

From the starting itself you will get a feel that movie is little low budget and bit boring till the first 15-20 minutes. Some unbelievable animations like A big cruise boat get drowned in sea due to bad climatic conditions but a small rescue boat managed there.

Later on, the duo did a fantastic performance. Hats off to Arshad Warsi… a born actor and talented comedian. The way they portrayed Karachi and world war on the street of city between embassies of each country created so much fun. Very excellent picturization of Taliban area (Wazirastan). Jackie is playing the role of dump Gujarati guy who’s foolishness lead to so many problems and Arshad is a court martial-led Indian Naval Officer. You also get to see the beautiful girl of ABCD Part1 Lauren Gottlieb as Pakistan Intelligence.

Cheers to script writer, movie is rich with punches of Arshad and Jackie Bhagnani. It seems Jackie’s acting is getting matured day by day and I believe it is good for him to tie-up with senior actors like Arshad to prove his name in the industry. Both of the lead guys did an excellent job but the lacking point of the movie is some boring songs and last but the main point is no strong climax.But I assure, the movie is much give you some light chilling moments with the way they created humour in simple things.

Go and watch the movie if you have nothing to do at this weekend and enjoy some light humour.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns – Movie Review

May 23, 2015 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(4 / 5)

Kangna Ranaut has emerged as a Brand in Hindi Film Industry (HiFi). She completely rocked the movie with excellent and outstanding performance. Movie commenced with casting on a regular video shoot as background like every next Indian marriage video looks like. There itself it gives you a feel that how creative the Director Anand Rai is. The Haryanvi Character of Kangna as Kusum is so perfectly played, I am unable find words to describe the feeling. She imitated the Haryanvi language in such a pace and accent that you gonna doubt isn’t she the same Kangna who is acting as Tanu in the movie.

R. Madhavan as always he is good there in the movie but felt little outside in comparison with the Kangna’s acting, sorry maddy she stealed the show this time. Movie is full of punches by Deepak Dobriyal (Pappi) and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub (Chintu – The lawyer). Chintu defines a category of boys call “Kandha” (Shoulder) who have mastery of giving shoulder to those girls whose relationship break up. Eijaz Khan as Jassi is having a dialouge in a punjabi marriage… He announce on stage “Jo nahi nachega, kal subah mata rani uski maa utha legi” lolzz… I promise you gonna enjoy every bit and byte of the film.

Jimmi Shergill as Raja Awasthi the villan of last movie is still on, but this time for a change there is no villan at all. He is in a comic character rather than as negative role. Though he played a very strong character in the last one, his role loosed that much strongness in this one.

Tried to portay the evil of Girl Child Killing, backward treatment towards girls as one of the lacking point of Haryana. The message has been well conveyed by the brilliant actor Rajesh Sharma (Kusum’s Brother). In the whole movie it is like a cultural union, you can get the feel of three different types of marriages – UP(Kanpur) Wedding, Haryana Wedding and Punjabi Wedding.

During the entire movie, I felt that what is happening in the movie is not correct, it is not the right justice… But this is what Director Anand wants the audience to feel. Watch the movie to know what actually happened as I never reveal the suspense and story of the movie in my reviews 🙂

“It is a must watch movie for everyone, and three cheers to Kangna for being in the Industry for making us feel proud about the Women Power.”

Gabbar is Back – Movie Review

May 6, 2015 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(3.5 / 5)

Akshay kumar again rocking nowadays by series of awesome movies like Oh My God, Special 26, Baby and now the thriller “Gabbar is Back”. Brilliant and outstanding performance by Akshay Kumar.

Even the story line is in the old platform of our country’s biggest evil corruption, but it is a new packet and flavour. You are really gonna have goose bumps while watching the movie. Akshay kumar as a citizen who get frustrated by our so called system rages a war against them in garb of a mystery man ‘Gabbar’. He almost busted every department and reached a milestone where change has occurred in our system. Also some social media pages are spreading viral messages like our country need more Gabbars rather than Gandhis.

Shruti Hasan, looking beautiful and gorgeous in the movie is not allocated with much role. Kareena is in a guest appearance but really made the song ‘Teri meri Kahani’ a nice piece of entertainment.

Sunil Grover as a Hawaldar in movie has shown his potential out from Guthi of Comedy night with Kapil Sharma.

I personally believe Suman Talwar’s impact as a villan is not much good, but in a combo with Akshay Kumar it went through.

Rest the whole cast did a fantabulous job which makes this movie a worth watching at least once.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha – Movie Review

March 10, 2015 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(3.5 / 5)

A movie with a difference… prompting a true tag line “Love comes in all Sizes”. The excellent effort from Writer – Director Sharat Katariya takes you to the beautiful and ever romantic era of bollywood “90’s”. Movie is a kind of tribute to the all time bollywood king of romantic songs Mr. Kumar Sanu.

You will travel through the nostalgia of tape recorders, tape cassettes and the way we Indians use to record from one cassette to another in a so called recording studio of market in every next colony.

Aayushmann Khurana did an excellent job accompanying the talented chubby actress Bhumi Pednekar. Movie depicts a message that looks doesn’t matter in love, if some thing matters that is love and understanding. Locations in the movie are from Uttar Pradesh and Uttara Khand featuring Haridwar, Dehradun etc. Songs are directed by Anu malik and sung by Kumar Sanu will again take you back to 90’s and you gonna love it for sure. Title song Moh Moh ke Daage is a kind of melody you gonna melt with tunes.

“Overall go and watch some thing different from the league with excellent acting”

Ekkees Topon Ki Salaami – Movie Review

October 11, 2014 prejithpillai Leave a comment

(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.

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…
