Dil Dhadakne Do – Movie Review

3 out of 5 stars (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. Anil-Kapoor-in-Dil-Dhadakne-Do-PosterIt 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

2 out of 5 stars (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

4 out of 5 stars (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.

kangna

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 pappiMohammed 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.

jimmy-shergillJimmi 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-sharmaRajesh 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.”

Dum Laga Ke Haisha – Movie Review

3.5 out of 5 stars (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. Tu-Song-from-Dum-Laga-Ke-Haisha

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. 11-Dum-Laga-Ke-Haisha 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”

 

Badlapur – Movie Review

2.5 out of 5 stars (2.5 / 5)

Completely different Avatar for our dashing hero “Varun Dhawan”. Hats off to him for accepting this kind of role in an early phase of his carrier pace and I guess he completely did justice to the responsibility he had taken.

varun dhawan

From a chocolate boy to a mid-aged man. A great transformation with matured acting. Story is all about Revenge as the name depicts. Chasing the culprits responsible for the death of his beautiful wife (featuring Yami                                                                                                                        Gautam) and son.

A happy family comes to an end leaving only the man out of the nuclear home. Revenge begins from there and the man completely runs out of the way of his life and the ultimate aim targeted towards the assassination of the culprits. Which lead him to became mentally depressed and physically strong for the revenge. The journey of the revenge take you throughout the movie to discover the justice for him.

But Sorry Varun, somebody stealed the show from you and that is none other than the great Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He completely rocked the screen and he will be the only person you gonna remember whenever you hear the name “Badlapur”. nawaz It seems he doesn’t need to act, it is coming effortlessly from his heart.  He is such a versatile actor who can mix up in any role in a way that you can’t even imagine an alternative for him. Not an Happy Ending like  usual typical bollywood drama.

“Go and watch it if you are strong hearted and will not get depressed by kind of sad movies”

Rang Rasiya – Movie Review

3 out of 5 stars (3 / 5)

Rang Rasiya, The journey of an artist is actually a mock on society. Raja Ravi Varma, a famous Indian painter, very well played by Randeep Hooda, fights for his sustenance in society. His imagination doesn’t know any bound, however the so – called workers of society wants to chain his thoughts. He paints the mirror of our true rich tradition, which later is scorn by social workers.

Nandana Sen looks stunningly beautiful in her role of inspirational muse for the painter.The pace of the story is little slow and the environment feels gloomy. However the essence of tradition attracts the audience. Brilliant acting by Randeep Hooda and great cinematography.

The movie carries a social message and aspire to bring in a change in mindset of people. It want people to let others do whatever they want to. We are no one to stop the thinking or lifestyle of any person. There is a very small chunk of people who would like the movie. I believe we need to have that literary sense to like it.

Though I liked it , it’s a kind of an old folk tale which might have a lot of literary connotations.

Tevar – Movie Review

3 out of 5 stars (3 / 5)

A movie by father for his dearest son… Exactly a tailor made, complete pack of Bollywood masala to satiate the taste buds of Indian audience, targeting multiplexes to single screens. Boney Kapoor has really worked hard for his son and presented a brilliant movie with direction and beautiful screenplay of Mr. Amit Ravindernath Sharma. You can see the beauty of Agra and Mathura in all the senses with colourful locations and typical uniqueness of the region.

actor-manoj-bajpai-shoots-for-tevar

Talking about story there is nothing new, its same old story of bollywood in a little bit new package and faces. But would like to emphasise, the movie is not bad at all. Brilliant performance by Mr. Manoj Bajpai… Outstanding expressions and awesome dialogues.

Regarding Arjun Kapoor, he did well other than if you can accept larger than life action sequences exactly like what he is claiming in the movie that he is a “Superman”. An angry young man’s role who is fighting for a girl and at last fallen in love with the girl for ultimate climax fight.

tevar-salman
Some songs are really touching in the second half, but some are really annoying in the first half. You can see Sonakshi Sinha in a sensible role out of her past few track record. She has lost quite some pounds of body fat and thus, looking ripped and beautiful in the role of a very next door girl.

Overall it is a paisa vasool one time watch if you are fond of bollywood masala movies with larger than life action stunts…

PK – Movie Review

4.5 out of 5 stars (4.5 / 5)

 

Undoubtedly its worth waiting for ‘The Perfectionist’ till the end of year. PK rolled the mind with comedy, drama and emotions. An unexpected story with outstanding performance and direction leads to PK.

In between some parts of the movie felt like stretched but ignorable. You gonna enjoy every bit of scenes and dialogues of adorable PK. Anuskha Sharma even after her disaster lips surgery managed to heights with her acting skills. Girls gonna admire the appearance of Sushant Singh Rajput in his short role as a lover to Anushka.

Movie revolve around the story of a person given the name as PK by public who is a very innocent and unmanageable coming from some unknown place (Suspense – Watch out the movie for that ) Sanjay dutt and Anushka as his path enlighters.

pk-sanjay

A bunch of amazingly talented people are there in movie like Booman Irani and Saurabh Shukla. Movie will also debate over the all time biggest evil of our country Dharam and Religion. A pinch of mix from flavours of Oh My God , starring Paresh Rawal.

Over all watch the movie and I can promise it would be the best watch of your 2014.

Happy Ending – Movie Review

1 out of 5 stars (1 / 5)

Happy Ending is not that much a Happy moment or Happy ending for the audience. The same old Saif Ali Khan Casanova role in slow paced, boring story plot.

I tried building my interest so many times in the movie but couldn’t hold to that. Saif should understand we are no more interested to see him in the same kind of formula.. please come up with some thing big your potential is high.

saif-happyending

Well movie rolls around the plot that a US based Indian guy need Romance but no Commitment. Finally he meet a like minded girl and fall in love and then Happy Ending. Movie begins with Kareena Kapoor as a guest appearance.. Throughout the movie you can see Preity Zinta as Saif’s ex-girlfriend (may be from Salaam Namaste lolzz :p).

I would say, it’s only govinda who was little entertainment factor with his short appearances through out the movie. A Hilarious moment is when he takes out his shirt for a plastic surgery for Six pack abs.

happy-ending-movie-govinda
Ileana d’cruz was looking quite good and played a fantastic role as an eye-opener for casanova Saif Ali Khan.


Over all movie is quite slow and boring leading to the audience snoring. Look at my fellow co-seaters in interval at below picture…
