Review of Kill Dil

Review of Kill Dil 

Release date -14'th November 2014

One Word which describes the film - Musical


Best Dialogue - "Maarna hai to maaro. Ghoor ke mera time waste mat karo." 

Genre - Action/ Romance

Producer - Aditya Chopra

Story & Direction -Shaad Ali
Budget- 40 crores (Including P&A)

Director Shaad Ali made an impressive debut with Saathiya (2002) followed by Bunty Aur Babli(2005). In 2007 he totally antagonized the audience with Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. Everyone was eagerly waiting for his comeback film which had a bunch of talented actors. The promos were quite stylish, the music catchy and the film looked just perfect. The film starts with the bad guy Govinda and his boys humming and dancing to the title song. 

Govinda is the merciless bhaiyaji who can kill for money , can be generous or ruthless depending on his moods. He laughs on jokes, likes singing and dancing and plans his moves like an expert game master.

Ranveer and Ali are the modern 'Jai-Veeru'. They are stylishly attired through out the film, one in black other in white. Huge posters symbolizing their friendship are adorned on the walls of their house. They move around in bikes singing and dancing looking like cool dudes rather than killers. Most of their time is spent in styling their hair and drinking whiskey. 

Parineeti plays the role of a rich girl who instead of joining her father's business decides to help the criminals in rehabilitating themselves. During the whole film she is only playing the part of a rich girl who visits night clubs in skimpy dresses or is lazying in the pool or is just painting the town red in her sports car. The characters are well defined and the film starts in a good way with some action scenes and good dialogues. But after 15 minutes the film loses its speed ,there is no plot and the only action shown is the lead actors putting bullets on their target .

The director has paid so much attention on characterisation and style that he totally forgot that there should be a good story to bind the characters together.After every 10 minutes there is a new song and it looks as if everyone is just waiting to find an excuse to dance. Though the background music is good and the songs are melodious but still a film should have a good screenplay to keep the viewers engrossed till the end.
There were huge expectations from the film and despite being released in 2500 plus screens the film just had a 25% opening (6-7 crores ). It will be a big task for the film to even cross the 30 crore mark .

In a line if you are a very big Govinda / Ranveer fan then also it will be a task for you to watch this 2 hr film in theater.

Avoidable. Watch the promos and endless songs on you tube and save money.

Mardaani - Misture of Lady Dabbang & Mrs Singham

Review of Mardaani

Release date - 22'nd August 2014

One Word which describes the film - 
Kick-ass

Best Dialogue - ' Kaam karne ke liye kayde ki nahi irade ki zaroorat hoti hai.'
Genre - Crime/ Drama


Producer - Aditya Chopra

Story- Gopi Puthran

Direction -Pradeep Sarkar

Budget- 30 crores (including P&A)

An year back when I heard that Rani was doing this film I was not very excited as not much before I had seen her film 'Aiyya' which was a very painful experience.
Last month I saw Mardaani's promos and Rani's acting and dialogue delivery in the scene 'Aur kisi ko law seekhna hai' was so powerful that in that 1 minute she made me eagerly wait for the film.
Rani plays the author backed role of Shivani Shivaji Roy,Senior Inspector, Crime Branch, Mumbai Police who sets out to confront the mastermind behind a child trafficking mafia.
Rani underwent a complete transformation for this role. From a petite beauty she became a strong and fit woman who challenges the villain to fight with her.She looks real, her concern for the victims genuine and her determination to find the criminals creates awe in the minds of the audiences .
She has given such a powerful performance that throughout the film and especially in the climax the audience was cheering and clapping for her.
In the film she says that 'Itna risk to lena hi padta hai' and her choosing this film is a risk which has paid off very well.
Jisshu Sengupta who plays the role of Rani's husband was earlier seen in Barfi opposite Iliena D'Cruz. His role is small but he acts as Rani's support system and provides her unconditional love and strength.
Tahir Bhasin as the smooth talking criminal master mind managed to create fear and hatred in the minds of the young victims in the film and among the audiences too.
Pradeep Sarkaar who made his directorial debut with Parineeta(2005) ,after 9 years has finally made a film which is better than his debut film and will surely fetch him many awards this year. The director has handled the sensitive scenes in such an artistic way that we don't cringe in any scene.There is pathos but no vulgarity.
YRF films which is known for its candyfloss and popcorn romance has finally made an offbeat film which gives a very strong message to the society.
Sadly because of its release timing (Singham Returns is already running in many screens) it was just released in 894 screens and got a 20% opening.
As the film got an A certificate and deals with a sensitive issue most of the family audience stayed away from it and an exceptionally good film managed to collect just 14-15 crores over the weekend .

In a line if you can see a masala cop film like Singham Returns in theaters you must see a realistic cop film like Mardaani too.
Must watch for adults.

Review : It's Entertainment

Review of It's Entertainment

Release date - 8'th August 2014

One Word which describes the film - Laugh Riot

Best Dialogue - 'Tum ye maanti ho na ki shadi ke baad har aadmi kutta ban jata hai. Mera to yeh kehna hai ke tum kutte se hi shaadi kar lo.'

Genre - Comedy

Music - Sachin - Jigar

Producer - Ramesh S. Taurani ,Jayantilal Gada

Story & Direction -Sajid-Farhad

Budget- 70 crore

When a dog's name comes before the Hero's name in the credits you know that the film makers have a sense of humor. Over the years, comedy in films has just been reduced to internet jokes and double meaning sentences. The hero apart from romancing the heroine and fighting with villians plays the role of a comedian too.  
It's entertainment is the story of Akhil who does petty jobs but dreams of being a millionaire so he can marry the girl he loves . His friend Jugnoo is a Bollywood addict and uses names of famous films or film stars in every dialogue.
Till interval the combination of Jhonny Lever , Akshay , Krishna and the dog keep us thoroughly entertained. In some scenes we laugh till our stomachs ache. The comedy reminds us of 1990s films and has a typical Kader Khan touch especially the threesome dialogues used by Akshay repeatedly in the film.

Riteish Deshmukh-  Abey khade khade tamasha ho jaega yahan
Akshay Kumar- Kyun madaari hai tu?
Riteish- Main bol raha hun maine apne haath mein chooriyan nahi pehni hain.
Akshay- Kyun widhwa hai tu?
Riteish- Maar dalunga tere ko main
Akshay- Kyun villain hai tu? 

After interval two more characters Karan and Arjun are introduced in the films. The story becomes a bit stereotypical and some scenes look straightaway copied from films like Welcome and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge .
The climax is so stretched that we wish the story had a more comic ending.
The film had a good opening and managed to earn 59 crores in a week. But a huge budget and release of Singham Returns this week will surely effect the film's business.  

In a line even if you are not a dog lover the film has some really hilarious scenes especially in the first half.
Good one time watch. Children will love it.

6 common dialogues you will hear from every Auto Rickshaw driver in India

The interesting fact about Indian Autorickshaw drivers is that irrespective of the city you’re in, they behave exactly the same. Do they undergo the same “How to speak to a passenger” training conducted by some underground Autorickshaw union? We’ve deployed our secret agents to find out.
Till our agents report back (they rarely do), enjoy these typical dialogues that’s common to every city in India.

1. Meter or pre-paid?

2. Lame excuse?

3. Pay extra for luggage

4. Won’t travel short distances

5. No change

6. Rs. 20 extra. But why?

What is the most nonsensical dialogue you’ve ever heard from an Autorickshaw driver? We would love to hear!
