Freaky Ali – Movie Review

2.5 out of 5 stars (2.5 / 5)

A movie written and directed by Sohail Khan starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui (as Ali), Amy Jackson (as Megha) and Arbaaz Khan (as Maqsood) in leading roles. It is a sports oriented romantic comedy based on not so popular game in masses of India, Golf. Movie was very slow and boring in the beginning with an unwanted song which actually turns off the mood of audience who was expecting some serious acting from Nawazuddin Siddiqui film. Thank God but the movie gradually took the pace and Sohail Khan gave justice to his lead person Nawazuddin as per his capabilities.

As shown in trailer, movie is all about a poor guy from slums of Mumbai who was an under garment seller, later on worked for underworld. As luck favours him, one day Asif Basra (as Kishan Lal) realises the talent of Ali of hitting excellent shots with a golf club. He trains him and make him compete in national level golf tournament. The whole movie goes on this journey of golf and a rivalry with existing champion of the Golf Jas Arora (as Peter).

No doubt about the legend actor Nawazuddin, he was outstanding in the movie with his effortless acting and dialogue delivery. The beautiful Amy Jackson is there in a supporting role, maybe they casted as opposite role but I felt as a supporting role. She did what she has chosen for the movie. Arbaaz Khan as Ali’s friend an underworld person playing a major role in Ali’s life did justice to his role with good acting skills and performance. Huge applause to Asif Basra who was playing Caddy for Ali was outstanding in his role. Nikitin Dheer, Paresh Ganatra and Jackie Shroff (in cameo role) are there in comic roles featuring an underworld gang leading by Danger Bhai.

The lacking points in the movie as per my analysis are the initial 15 minutes of lagging story and the dramatic touch added in the climax as always happening in the very next Hindi movie.

Overall, it is a onetime watch to see the performance of Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Raman Raghav 2.0 – Movie Review

3 out of 5 stars (3 / 5)

Anurag Kashyap is back again with his kind of movie accompanying one of the great actor of our times Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui. As shown in trailer Movie revolves around a serial killer who is completely physco. He claims that god gives him instruction to kill somebody and without any ado he accomplishes that. He stalks a Drug addict detective officer Vicky Kaushal investigating the serial killing case. The movie is somewhat inspired by the serial killer Raman Raghav who was at Mumbai during 1960’s. Using a steel rod, he uses to break the skull of the victim. He committed 41 murders and later sentenced to death by Bombay High Court. The judgment later changed to life time imprisonment after his defense pleaded that he was mentally ill.

In the movie Nawazuddin was searching for Raghav, a partner, as he claims himself as Raman and the movie goes on. Movie is completely Sobhita-Dhulipalathriller and full of brutal acts. Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s brilliant acting skills can’t be explained in words. Every next role he plays is like he actually craft himself into the character. Vicky Kaushal did justice to his role and completely evolved into the role of a drug addict cop. The beautiful Sobhita Dhuliwala is there as a random girl living with Vicky Kaushal who is later brutally killed by the so called killer in the movie.

vicky
Lacking part of the movie that, it is actually missing the real thrill of the subject and without a core of the story needed for this platform. Movie is too much predictable and little lagging in between, which actually dropped the grasp over the audience.

Watch it for Nawazuddin Siddiqui…

TE3N – Movie Review

4 out of 5 stars (4 / 5)

A mystery drama film by Ribhu Dasgupta featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan in lead role. As seen on the trailer, it is about an 8 years old kidnap & Murder case of a child, for which the investigation is still going on. Amitabh Bachchan is the Grand Father of that child, Vidya Balan a cop investigating the same case and Nawazuddin is the old investigation officer who operated the mission 8 years ago and now he left police department and turned as a priest in church.

No words to explain the very awesome performance of Amitabh Bachchan again, he is like gifting golden movies like Piku, Wazir and now this one. He gonna completely win your heart with the performance of an old vengeful man himself investigating the crime with a will power to be after that for long 8 years. The whole movie is a journey of 8 years behind that criminal. Nawzauddin Siddiqui, no Vidya-Balan-Te3ndoubt he is awesome as usual, he delivered the character in such a manner that it is like he is not acting at all, he actually live the character. Vidya Balan is little overshadowed by both the above legends but then also she outraged the performance by her bold character.

Clinton Cerejo directed some very awesome tracks like “Haq Hai” and “Kyun Re” which made the tempo of movie so high with some strong emotional spirit.

Watch the movie for some real piece of acting and thrilling story.

Manjhi, The Mountain Man – Movie Review

3.5 out of 5 stars (3.5 / 5)

A true piece of art and cinema is the one liner for the movie Manjhi – The Mountain Man. It is a movie based on the true story of a man Dashrath Manjhi from Bihar, India who carved a road through a mountain alone investing a long 22 years. The story itself is full of determination and motivation. Director Ketan Mehta very beautifully picturized the same into silver screen.

NAWAZUDDINSIDDIQUE

Movie is presenting the newly independent India, the evils and problems faced by backward villages of India at that time. Makers of the movie created environment of a Bihar village so perfectly that the audience can time travel through the village by feeling like you are there in the place Gehlaur. Almost shown all the evils prevailed that time like ruined Zamindari System, Untouchability, and people turning into naxalite to fight against.

Other than the story, movie is gifted with a person as lead actor, the legend of acting in himself, Mr. Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He nailed a movie again – this time with his unique kind of natural acting, giggling, laughter, dialogues, versatile expression and much more. Story of determination and motivation is actually ignited with the power of love and romance with the very beautiful actress Radhika Apte.

The chemistry between Nawazuddin and Radhika is unbelievable. Radhika switched into the character so effortlessly that you can’t even imagine she is the same girl from Badlapur. Ashraf Ul Haque as father of Dashrath, Tigmanshu Dhulia as Zamindar, Pankaj Tripathi as son of Zamindar it is a bunch of highly talented actors, most of them imported from Gangs of Wasseypur.

Manjhi-Radhika-Apte

It is also a slap on Indian Government’s face ruled or ruined the country after Independence that, Shri. Dashrath Manjhi started digging the mountain from 1960 and he abled to carve a basic road for bullock carts and pedestrians till 1982. He tried his best to get help from government to build a proper road there to connect his village with outer world for basic necessity, amenities and a good connectivity shortening 80 KM distance to 1 KM. But he died in 2007, and finally the government built a road there in 2011 and named as Dashrath Manjhi Path. It is a shame that it took too long to realize the dedication and sacrifice of a great soul.

“Movie is a must watch! It is a real tribute to the real hero of determination, love and motivation…”

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”
