Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster Returns

Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster have returned finally with lot of expectations as the initial version was quite intriguing, erotic and thrilling. This version made it even more exciting as it had Irfaan Khan on the other side as gangster.....The movie starts with a beautiful punjabi number and the screen slowly makes you remind of the happenings in the last version and introducing the new characters like the new gangster "irfaan khan'....

The plot even this time remains pretty much the same and so the style of storytelling which is slow and looks forward to build up the 'thrill/suspense' as it goes along....Instead of 'Randeep Hooda' who in the first version turns into a gangster as he dreams of having the cake and eat it too by wooing the 'biwi' Mahi Gill and plots to takeover 'Sahib's' power thru her....But at the end the plot doesn't really work in favour of him as the Biwi changes her mind at the end.....

In this part too the Biwi once again finds another man in 'Irfaan Khan' to take away the power from 'Sahib' while Irfaan plots to kill 'Sahib' as he wants to avenge the toppling of his ancestors by Sahib's predecessors....In between this web caught is 'Soha Ali Khaan' daughter of another 'Sahib' Raj Babbar and on whom 'Sahib Jimmy Shergill' has lost his heart.....
So the story is all around this web of plots where 'Sahib wants to marry Soha', 'Biwi wants her power' ' Gangster wants to kill Sahib'.....Who manages to fullfill their ambitions is the story allabout and you need to watch it to figure it out....

Now coming to the verdict its too subjective...Though i must say that in hindsight 'Tigmanshu Dhulia' does a decent job is keep the plot intact and his style similar to the last one giving this property of 'SHG' a consistent look n feel......In terms of the intriguing element of the 'plot', 'the eagerness of the characters to fullfill their objectives' seemed to be lacking in this sequel unlike in the first one where the character of 'Randeep Hooda' was much more eteched out and he emerges as a gangster slowly thru the plot as his lust for Biwi and Power grows over time.....This element seemed lacking and therefore the impact.....

In terms of performances all characters do their job in an efficient manner but yet again its 'Mahi Gill' who grabs your attention throughout.......

In Hindsight she is real Gangster in the movie who displays everything 'Lust' 'Jealousy' & 'Hunger for power' just superbly.....She looks sexy and extremely beautiful at the same time.....

Overall i think people who sees it first time without the baggage of first one may still like it but those who are seeing it as a sequel may not like it as much......However still would look forward to what the 'Biwi' will be upto after this:).....

Review of 'Icche' (bengali movie)

Image
Icche is possibly one of the most wonderful movies i have ever seen till date...More so for the wonderful wonderful performance by 'Sohini Sengupta'... The whole story revolves around the mother 'Mamta' and son 'Soumik' played by 'Sohini Sengputa' & 'Samadarshi Dutta'. The mother is a typical bengali mother who is over possessive and protectionist about her son and wants to fullfill all her dreams thru her son....She wants to fullfill all her dreams thru her son and in the process forgets that her son has a life and identity of his own...'Soumik' starts realising this uncomfortable reality when he falls in love witha Girl in Class XIIth and her mother comes to know of it.... The story on hand is simple but on the other hand it deals with various shades of character of 'Mamta' who loves her son like anything, sometimes she is her best buddy, sometimes she is biggest opponent and sometimes she is manipulating... The story ...

Some serious questions on the movie business???

Given the fact that all movies are now on TV within few weeks of release gives us a sense that producers are looking for multiple revenue streams big time...(in fact i have heard some of them plays a role in releasing the pirated CD's as well..when they know it will not do well....)....Looking at the quality of movies being made now a days , big time fall in footfalls in Multiplexes due to much faster spread of 'Word of mouth'unlike a couple of years back (thanks to social networking)...it gives me an indication that somewhere the business model of 'Movies' are not working smoothly, which is forcing producers to release it on TV much sooner than required so that they can at least cash in on the idiot box which at least gives them greater assurance of 'Eyeballs' (as typically people do give all those movie a watch which they haven't seen in theatre's...bcoz for them its free of cost..)...While its good for the producers that they have TV to save them ...

Sardar Udham - Amazon Prime

Image
 I was awaiting Sardar Udham with a lot of eagerness because of two reasons. # 1 - It was Shoojit's latest creation and we all know how good a film maker he is. # 2 - It had Vicky Kaushal who is one of the best actors in Bollywood today. The 2hr 42 min film was made with great intent to dive deep into the mind and motives of Sardar Udham Singh that led to the killing of Michael O' Dwyer 20 years after he had given the orders for Jaliwalan Bagh Executions. The highest point of the film was the last 40 minutes which showcases the Jaliwalan Bagh killings and the diplomatic defense of the incident by the army and bureaucrats of the British. It does shake you, emotionally stirs you and does make you feel angry that till date there is no official apology of the same by the United Kingdom. The film depicts some interesting characterization of Bhagat Singh and his philosophy. The role well depicted by Amol Parashar.  What I found very interesting is the way the narrative handled the d...
