DON 2

Image
Farhan Akhtar did a marvellous job with 'Don' which was sleek, an entertaining script with a twist and an underplayed new DON in SRK and was in true sense a fresh modern version of Don which apart from the name and was a completely fresh movie which when you saw never felt like comparing with the old one....It was in a nutshell a marvelous movie. That is why as a fan i was quite eagerly looking forward to Don2....The tailors were looking very sleek, music gave it the connection with its previous version and SRK looks were looking good. As i went into the movie the first half started with an action sequence introducing Don i.e. SRK in thailand and setting the pretext of Don trying to make an entry into the Drug Cartel in Europe and Drug Cartel in Eurpope wanting to finish him off....I must say a very good setting which had lot of potential to be exploited in the script.....Then it moves onto Interpol HQ in Malyasia where it introduces the old characters 'Roma' i.e. ...

Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol

Image
Mission Impossible always comes with a single minded agenda i.e. to entertain. It ensures that your brain is constantly busy seeing action rather than trying to analyse the story and the end benefit you are left with 2 hrs of full fledged entertainment. One can very draw parallel with the recent 'Salman Khan' movies that have hit the box office on roll... The only difference is that Salman Khan stories are too simplistic in its approach while MI is a little more scientific and techno savvy... The movie is beautifully shot in Russia, Prague,Dubai, Canada , Mumbai & Bangalore. The story revolves around the mission taken by Ethan Hunt & team (Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg & Paula Patton). They are chasing a mad ex nuclear scientist who has stolen a nuclear launch device from Kremlin and is on his way to Mumbai via Dubai to launch a nuclear war across the world. The problem is Kremlin blames US and Ethan's organisation IMF for the act and the US presi...

Ladies Vs Ricky Behl

Image
Ladies vs Ricky Behl is kind of a sequel to 'Band Baja Baraat' with the same lead cast and a script that has similarity in terms of its treatment & setting. So one expected a similar level of entertainment. The movie definitely starts interestingly as it takes us thru the relationship of a young couple played by debutant 'Parineeti Chopra' and Ranveer Singh set in Delhi. The first 20 minutes were very entertaining to watch as the dialogues, spontaneity of both actors and the con act by ranveer singh was quite a treat to watch. Specially the boldness of the girl(parineeta) was quite insightful and interesting to see when the girl was not all apologetic of the fact that her dad was conned by her boyfriend instead was upset that he dumped her. The way she ways 'Usne to acchi planning ki thi , papa ko bhi to smartness dikhani chahiye thi naa' were quite funny and interesting and shows a new age philosophy of the youth today.... But from thereon the movie be...

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster

Image
Sahib Biwi aur Gangster is yet another thriller with elements of UP Politics in it. The movie is based on a simple story of love hate power money lust between 3 characters which are the also the three words in the title of the movie....Jimmy Shergil, Mahi Gill & Randeep Hooda.... Jimmy Shergil (sahib) is the descendant of a royal family who doesn't have much money left but is still left with the royal habits of keeping a mistress and having the royal pride intact...he has political ambitions.....Mahi Gill (biwi) is the legal wife of 'Sahib' whose only search is little attention from her husband and in absence of that she is mentally unstable....Randeep Hooda (gangster) is an imposter who is running away from a crime he committed in the rush of blood and lands in sahib's family as an employee... The twists and turns start as 'Mahi Gill & Randeep Hooda' developes attraction towards each other and start enjoying that till both realise that it's bo...

The Dirty Picture - An Entertainer

Image
A typical South Indian track introduces us to the world of South Indian cinema and the world of 'Silk'....The initial background score, the pace at which the movie starts gives us a perception that the movie is going to be raunchy, hard hitting and will demonstrate the dark side of 'South Indian Movie Industry' specially during 70's and 80's very boldly.....Into the first half as the movie concentrates on the rise of 'Silk' it does lot of justice to the promise it made and yes it seemed like 'Vidya' was enjoying herself doing the role of silk...bringing out all the emotions of a girl who is madly searching for a lead in the film industry in the most natural manner one could.... While the first half was a great entertainer i felt it could have been much more bolder than what it was and it was clear that 'Ekta & Milan' always walked a thin line possibly keeping the sensibilities of Indian Audience & Censor Board.... As 'Silk...
