REVIEW 

R…Rajkumar is typically a Prabhu Deva style movie, fully loaded with over the top action sequences and loud dialogues. Prabhu Deva has put in full effort to extract the best fromShahid Kapoor who needs a hit badly to give a push to his career. R… Rajkumar has everything to be a successful masala potboiler, starting from Shahid Kapoor’s  mesmerizing dance, good dialogues  to power packed stunts.

In one hand, this offers a lot of striking visuals, high-voltage action scenes and on the other it features electrifying chemistry between Sonakshi and Shahid.

Prabhu Deva’s direction maintains the pace of the film throughout. The story line keeps the audiences engaged in the film. There is no tough competition for R… Rajkumar as no other film is being released on Friday.

The music of R…Rajkumar is foot tapping and energetic. ‘Gandi Baat’ is likely to emerge as its biggest hit. Reportedly, the song saree ke fall sa song video has already crossed 2 million hits on You Tube within a short span of time. While this ‘masala’ Bollywood movie is simple love story about ‘Pyaar Pyaar  Pyaar and Maar Maar Maar’ it has all the elements to be a smashing hit of this year.

Verdict - Average Masala Action Comedy Movie, One time Watch

Rating - 3 out of 5

Review

Bullet Raja- Saif n Sonakshi

Bullet Raja starts well, its first half is incredibly good while second half is unexpectedly slow and boring. Bullet Raja loses its track from the entry of Sonakshi Sinha’s character in the film. Dialogues are crisp and compelling which goes in the favor of the film. One of the unique dialogues from the film is “Rajneeti aur vysyavriti dono bahut hi pracheen visaya hai aur dono ka kaam hai sawdhaani se shanti banaye rakhna”.

Raja Mishra (Saif Ali Khan) & Rudra (Jimmy Shergill) meets by chance in a marriage and they becomes good friend in no time. Raja & Rudra both are being attacked by Lallan (Chunky Pandey) & his gang. Based on the advice of unknown and reliable guy they starts working for a well-known minister  Ram Babu (Raj Babbar) and quickly becomes famous gangster of UP. Because of some conflict with Raja & Rudra a big political financer Bajaj (Gulshan Grover) kills Rudra with the help of Yadav (Ravi Kishan). After which Raja tries to take revenge from them and eventually being encountered by a well-known Police Officer played by Vidyut Jamwal. Is Raja able to take his revenge, is the second half of the film?

Tigmanshu Dulia who is the both writer and director of the film after giving us good films like Paan Singh Tomar & Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster is unable to satisfy us with Bullet Raja. In bullet raja he is able to do his job only half way. What’s needed was something more than just a revenge saga in the second half. Also, some more refinement in the execution of the characters of the film.

Add caption

Bullet Raja is mostly about an interesting character Raja Mishra; probably called as Bullet Raja by the film maker. This character desires so much more to execute rather than just being interesting. Saif Ali Khan gets a unique get up from his usual films. He works well but sometimes seems confused and tensed. Sonakshi Sinha has a good potential for acting but she doesn’t get much chance to proof herself. Jimmy Shergill has done a fine job from his side. Much more tighter and refined script could have made Bullet Raja thoroughly entertaining watch.

Verdict: -   Total Masala Movie for action lovers mass will love it.

Ratings: -  2.5 / 5 Stars

Review of Galiyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela

One Word which describes the film – Eye Catching Colourful 

Genre – Romance / Drama

Screenplay -Sanjay Leela Bhansali , Siddharth-Garima
Rutvik Oza
Music – Monty Sharma , Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Producer- Sanjay Leela Bhansali , Chetan Deolekar , Kishore Lulla , 
Sandeep Singh

Direction - Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Cast - Ranveer Singh , Deepika Padukone , Richa Chadda ,
Supriya Pathak , Gulshan Devaiah

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to create larger than life sets which give you the feeling of entering into a fairy land . As the characters are introduced which are very jolly , are singing and dancing at every given opportunity you start enjoying the ride. The story catches speed and when you are expecting it to gain more momentum it fizzles out and climaxes in a very disappointing way.

After directing films like Sawariya and Guzarish which failed miserably at the box office this time Bhansali decided to play safe . He took a simple story, added some double meaning dialogues , a sizzling heroine who kisses strangers and an item number for which reportedly Priyanka Chopra was paid 6 crores.
The film has great performances by  Ranbeer Singh , Deepika , Supriya Pathak and Richa Chaddha and it could have made history if instead of just focusing on how to make a hit , Bhansali had focused on the story and script. There were so many loopholes in the story that we kept wondering what was happening or kept matching the film with already seen films like ' Issaq ' and 'Ishaqjaade '.
  
Bhansali's films are known for their melodious songs but except ' lahu munh lag gaya ' none of the songs fail to make any impact.
Priyanka Chopra's sizzling item song 'Ram chahe Leela may have got 5 million hits on  You tube  but in the film it looked  out of place and an unnecessary addition to an already stretched story.

In a line apart from the grand colorful sets and mesmerizing castle this adaptation of Romeo and Juliet offers nothing which you haven't seen before.

Best Dialogues  –
Ram -'Guroor mei doob ke samundar ko kya pata tha rann ban jayega.'
Leela -'Jigar pe mat jaa, trigger dabaa doongi.'
Dhankor Baa - 'Goli aur gussa sahi waqt par kharch karna chahiye.' 
Rasila - 'Bada badtameez, besharam, khudgarz hota hai par pyaar toh aisa hi hota hai.'  

Verdict - Can be seen in theaters. Love birds will love this Gujrati Romeo -Juliet.

Rating - 3 out of 5

Movie Review - War Chhod Na Yaar

War Chhod Na Yaar (U/A)

Cast -SharmanJoshi,Javed Jaffrey,Soha             Ali Khan, Mukul Dev.
Produced By- AOPL Entertainment
Director By -Faraz Haider
Music By -Aslam Keyi
Dialogue-Deepak Kingrani
Story: Faraz Haider
Genre - Comdey,War.

“War Chhod Na Yaar” is based on Indo-Pak border issues. It shows how countries like China and America take advantage of such situations. Film creates curios and interesting moments but seems slow at times. Long and tiring climax is also one of the weak points of the film. This drama suggests in a simplistic ay that how the border issue can be easily resolved and it’s good for both the countries not to fight because nobody wins.

Captain Rana (Sharman Joshi) is a brave and intelligent guy who instead of fighting enjoys the relationship with the Pakistani soldier Captain Qureshi (Javed Jaffery) on India –Pakistan border. On the other side TV reporter Ruth Dutta (Soha Ali Khan) goes to the border for a secret coverage as being told by Prime Minister of India. She discovers a healthy relationship between Indo-Pak soldiers and tries to tries to find out a way to stop the battle supposed to happen in a near future.

The dialogues of the film are thought provoking but the romance between Rana and Ruth seems unconvincing. They just fall in love in no time. Sharman Joshi plays his role responsible well. Javed Jaffery is also good in his part. Dalip Tahil plays four roles in the film which are P.M. of both India and Pakistan while the other two are president of US and Premier of China. This reminds me of Kamal Hassan in Dasavathaaram; although things are quite different it. Soha Ali Khan looks charming; she has improved her performance with time.

Verdict: - Interesting topic makes it a bit engaging but doesn't go beyond a certain extent. Hence, remains an average watch.

Movie Review -The Lunchbox

Movie Review -The Lunchbox

Release date – 20'th September 2013

One Word which describes the film – Wistful

Best Dialogue  – 'Kabhi kabhi galat train bhi sahi jagah pahuncha deti hai '

Genre – Romance 

Writer- Ritesh Batra

Music – Max Richter

Producer - Anurag Kashyap , Guneet Monga , Karan Johar , Siddharth Roy Kapur

Direction - Ritesh Batra

Cast - Irrfan Khan , Nimrat Kaur , Nawazuddin Siddiqui

  

Budget - 10 crores

The film is an Indian version of the 1998 hit Hollywood film ' You've Got Mail '. 
In the film the heroine says a line , 'People are always telling you that change is a good thing .But all they're really saying is that something you didn't want to happen at all ,has happened.' 
This film is also about changes . A man who is about to retire and a lonely housewife exchange small notes through a lunchbox and develop a strong bond . The woman is young and is ready to take steps which can totally change her life but the man who is old enough to be her father has his doubts.

The direction of the film is it's finest point. It's really commendable that how with just 3 characters and a voice the director manages to present a story which makes the audience identify with the characters. We feel the fear of an about to retire man who was so engrossed in his work and daily life that he never realised that he has grown old. We feel sad for the housewife whose husband has lost interest in her and pays more attention to his cell phone . 

Irrfan Khan has played the role of a much older man with such ease that you forget the actor , you only see him as Mr. Fernandez .
Nimrat Kaur gives strong competition to Irrfan and it's difficult to decide who has given a better performance.
Nawazuddin is an amazing actor and though he has a vital role in the film ,this story isn't about him.

After a totally detailed sketch of Mumbai dabba system and local trains the abrupt climax was a bit disappointing . 

Verdict - In a line the film is about how sometimes the small things can bring a big change in your life and it's better to take risks at time than to lead a mundane life .

Movie Review - GRAND MASTI

Movie Review - GRAND MASTI


Release date – 20'th September 2013

One Word which describes the film – Grand Gross

Grossest Dialogue – The principal of a college named SLUTS pulls down the boxers of a guy called Harddick and says,
' Isse kehte hai naam bade aur darshan chhote.'

Genre – Adult Comedy

Writer- Milap Zaveri , Tushar Hiranandani

Music – Anand Raj Anand , Sanjeev Darshan

Producer- Ashok Thakeria , Indra Kumar

Direction - Indra Kumar

Cast - Ritesh Deshmukh , Vivek Oberoi , Aftab Shivdasani , Sonalee Kulkarni , Manjari Fadnis,Karishma Tanna, Maryam Zakaria, Bruna Abdullah, Kainaat Arora , Suresh Menon

Budget - 31 crore (Including print and advertising)

By now you all must be knowing that a film criticized and shunned by all and sundry has become the highest grosser among the films with an ‘A’ (Adults only) certificate at the Box Office beating the lifetime record of 'The Dirty Picture' (85 crores).

This has made the producers and directors quote on National TV that the audience is hypocrite , they call a film vulgar and then enjoy it too.

In an interview the producer Ashok Thakeria said that the magnitude of success of Grand Masti has taken them all aback . ' We are definitely going into Masti 3 right away. The first sequel took us nine years to make. The second sequel will come in much less time and will be far more sexy raunchy and in-your-face. The audience loved our sense of humour. We will give them a lot more of everything.”

Milap Jhaveri says , “The USP of part 3 would be the same as part 2. Mad, naughty, crazy, and risqué humour.”

Indra Kumar said on Zoom that the main reason behind the grand success of the film is that no one till now has made a film on adult jokes . ' I took a collection of jokes from internet and my phone and converted it into visual form. We all are aware of this type of humor and share it everyday with our friends so what's the harm in showing it on the big screen ?'

All these arguments from the makers of the film made me think on what next ? Till what extent will Meet , Amar and Prem go in the 3'rd part to show the plight of married men ?
They taught us the meaning of A , B, C to F here , will the sequel decode the remaining alphabets too ?

An edited version of Grand Masti has been submitted to the censor board for satellite and television screening. The main point is once they remove the offensive content will the movie last even 30 minutes ?

In a line even though the film has been declared a box office hit surpassing the 100 crores mark , it's just a collection of adult jokes which you must have read and shared a 100 times .

Verdict - Definitely Not for Family Audience,  Not to be seen with family or kids .

Rank- 3 out of 5
