About Movie :-Ghost is a upcoming Hindi movie starring Shiney Ahuja, Sayali Bhagat, Tej Sapru, Deepraj Rana and is directed by Puja Jatinder Bedi. After a tragic incident occurred in the real life of the actor Shiney Ahuja, his real life is all set to begin with a horror cum thriller movie. As it is in no doubt that Shiney is brilliant actor and had proved his brilliance in his earlier movie, and thus we hope that his on-screen career rises up again in a full swing.
The first look promo of the movie is out now, and it is exceptionally spooky, but only in bits-n-pieces. After watching the promo, seems like it would be foremost Bollywood movie where it has been shown the cuts, chops and the hardcore human fleshes. We hope that it has been shown aesthetically on the big screen and the movie really portrays the spooky effect from first to last frame.

Tutiya Dil Release Date : 13,Jan 2012

2012-01-15T11:12:00.000-08:00

Producer    Shitij Chaudhary
Director    Amit Khanna
Music    Gulraj Singh
Lyrics    Manoj Yadav
Release Date    13-Jan-2012

Films like DELHI BELLY, PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA and MUJHSE FRAAANDSHIP KAROGE spoke a new language. The last two films in particular reflected the lives of Gen X living in a metropolis. TUTIYA DIL is a new era love story that attempts to pursue the same path. It talks of love, sex, heartaches and fragile relationships, albeit half-heartedly.

First-time director Amit Khanna, who has also penned the screenplay, doesn't really opt for a path breaking concept. Instead, he compensates it with some poignant moments in the narrative. What also ails the film is the fact that like most first-time enthusiastic storytellers, Khanna overstays the hospitality by dragging the film in its second hour. If it were shorter in duration, with more dum in its screenplay, it might've cut ice with its target audience -- the youth. At the end of it, as a result, TUTIYA DIL descends into a standard film on relationships. Also, it lacks the sharp wit of PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA and MUJHSE FRAAANDSHIP KAROGE.

Rhea [Suzanna Mukherjee] becomes so unsure of herself after her breakup that she decides to see a shrink. She tells him how she met her new boss, Karan [Nikhil Sabharwal], and hit it off from day one. Rhea has to face a sudden storm when, suddenly, Karan dumps her and she is left heartbroken and also homeless.

Two people stand by Rhea -- Anu [Iris Maity], her best friend, a quintessential feminist and Vishal [Siddhant Kapur], her colleague at office, a womanizer. Vishal comes across as a nonchalant, carefree guy, but deep inside he is emotional and helps Rhea overcome her breakup.

Unlike DELHI BELLY and PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA, there isn't any sexual content/jokes/jibes here. So don't expect anything scandalous or sensational in this movie. TUTIYA DIL is a love story at heart brewed with fresh actors. To give the credit where it's due, the director has filmed a number of sequences with utmost care. But there are sequences that get repetitive and the fact that there's not much meat in those sequences, it dilutes the impact of several wonderful moments. In short, it's inconsistent! Besides, the music doesn't help either, but I'd like to make a special mention of the dialogue, penned by Prabal Panjabi. The lines are identifiable and the best part is, they are minus frills or dialogue-baazi.

What salvages the film are the sincere performances. Suzanna is super confident, lighting up the scenes and making the most of it. Both Siddhant and Nikhil have screen presence. Siddhant has the makings of a fine actor [note the sequence when Suzanna and he get drunk; his performance is worth noting here], while Nikhil is a bit awkward initially, but gets into the groove subsequently. Iris Maity does her part well, but her character isn't well defined. The actor enacting the role of the boss is alright.

About Movie:- Kya Yahi Sach Hai is an international award winning film directed by IPS officer YP Singh. The film is based on “Canage by Angels” written by Mr. Singh's in 2003, which exposed the rampant corruption and negligence that happen in the police force. He decide to make movie on the same topic.

About Story:- The story is based on a young guy, being trained in Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, throughout of his training, how he gets into largely corrupt activities and how it changed his life, How such incidents makes him give up corruption and take to honesty.
After that this IPS officer and his wife decide not to earn bribes in the police as that would be an unexcusble crime,
This heat touching story unfolds, what materialize in the film. This all is for maneuver, deception, sex, love and money. Todays world of glamour, police, bureaucracy, politicians, citizens, corporate bodies, powerbrokers, doctors and media all are indulge in this kind of activity.
About Music:- Music of film is soft, soulful, soothing. This is a music album with a difference not because it is the soundtrack of an international award-winning film on police corruption and bureaucratic apathy in India, .but because it is a unforgettable one evocative of the days of yore when hard hitting films also had good soothing soulful soundtracks.

Movie Review:- The film is based on the 2003 book 'Carnage by Angels'. The movie revolves around an courageous and daring IPS officer Raghu Kumar whose arrival into the city of Kolhapur creates disaster in the hearts of drug dealer and black vendor. The local public finds a hero in Raghu who has become an barrier in the way of corrupt police officers. More than an IPS officers struggle against the corrupt police force, this is an impression of the whole bureaucratic system which breaks the courage and weaken the daring of an honest officer.
Direction, Dialogues and Music:-The director has tried to be loyal to his pupose. A predictable and long-drawn-out storyline is one of the biggest downside of the movie. Dialogues are average and leave no impact. Cinematography is decent, while had the editing been crispier, it would have definitely helped the final product. The songs have very little to offer . Tere Pass Hai Danda Toh Mere Pass Hai Bumm is an attempt to add an item number to the flick.
Overall:- Expecting less is the best way to avoid dissatisfaction but good movie to know about corruption in police line.

About Don 2:- Shah Rukh Khan is back and expected to give some wonderful movie with a surprise to his fans by a macho and rough look in his upcoming movie Don 2- The Chase Continues. This movie is action thriller oriented one which is directed by Farhan Akhtar is the sequel of a hit hindi movie in 2006 titled as "Don" .SRK’s one more popular Bollywood Movie is Don which was supposed to be a remake of old same titled movie of Amitabh bachan and hence after this he started to be compared with bollywood star amitabh bachan. In this movie he played a role of a don named Vijay with actress Priyanka Chopra casted by the name Roma. This movie was directed by a famous director Farhaan Akhtar and the famous dialogue from that film was “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai.”. ShahRukh has changed his look in this movie.

Movie Review:- Don 2 is a classic action/crime thriller movie that doesn't let you go, even for a moment. Most of the critics have liked the Shahrukh Khan's dazzling action, Jason West's wonderful camera work, stunning visuals, stylish narration, witty dialogues, spectacular locations. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy’s give very good music for the movie
Direction and Production:- Don 2 is very rich in its production values and Jason West's cinematography is the major highlight in it. Farhan Akhtar yet again shows his brilliance as a director. Don 2 impresses at various stages. The theft sequence is amazing shot with no room for technical goof-ups especially the way SRK escapes the inside chamber with plates in his bag.The film deserved a much, much superior score to match up to the standards set by Farhan Akhtar. Jason West's cinematography. Filmed in Germany, Switzerland, Malaysia and Thailand, the film is visually enchanting.
Star Perfomence: - Don 2 marks SRK's return to anti-hero roles after enacting such roles with boom so early in his career. Recall BAAZIGAR, DARR and ANJAAM. DON 2 is SRK's best action movie. The actor infer him as an arrogant, agile, wicked and wild dare-devil who has the most weird schemes up his sleeves. . The action and stunts are spectacular.
Music and Dialogues:- The music is the sole sore point of the film. It has vitality and zing. Single word about the dialogues: brilliant. A word about the music: mediocre.The attractive post-interval portion, Shah Rukh Khan’s appealing performance and the work of art, the stylised acting and describing, the exposure of the suspense.
Overall Review :- This movis is loved by those who like style, intrigue, suspense and attitude. Overall Don 2 is a perfect entertainment package for this Christmas.
Definitely watch it for Shah Rukh Khan’s extraordinary performance and the stylised recitation

Viewer's Review

Don2 is actually Shahrukh2
by Shashank Bajpai (posted on : 24-Dec-11) Rating: (Average)
Nice movie for a time pass. This is more or less Sharukh's movie instead of Directors movie, I guess dialogue writer ran out of good ones so Shahrukh has to step up and take the responsibility of humor and continuity. Some scenes are pretty good like car chase, robbery but seems copied from serials like 24, I guess you can go for movie for shahrukh and priyanka, and it's a 2.9/5.

Pappu Can't Dance Saala Release Date : 16,Dec 2011

2011-12-18T02:08:00.000-08:00

Producer    Ravindra Singh, Sameer Nair
Director    Saurabh Shukla
Music    Malhar
Lyrics    Amitabh Bhattacharya, Saurabh Shukla
Release Date    16-Dec-2011

About Story: It is a romantic comedy of two people who are from two different worlds. Vidyadhar Acharya (Vinay Pathak) has just shifted from Banaras to Mumbai. A man with old world values who finds it difficult to adjust in the city of professional attitude. He finds Mumbai heartless. Vidya is a medical representative in a private firm, with a bare survival salary. He manages to find a flat in sales tax colony, where legally no tenant can be kept. Mehak Malavde (Neha Dhupia) is a chorus dancer in Bollywood. She has learned the tricks of surviving in this fast paced city. She is loud and jazzy. The film is about both of them how they meet, fight and then fall in love. It’s about the ups and downs in their lives.
Shooting Locations
Mumbai, Banaras (India)

Movie Review:- The story revolves around Vidyadhar Acharya (Vinay Pathak), who has just shifted from Benares to Mumbai and Mehak Malavde (Neha Dhupia), who is a chorus dancer and knows how to survive in the city of dreams. Mahek and Vidyadhar are neighbours and later due to unavoidable circumstances, they turn roommates. Pappu Can’t Dance Saala is all about how two people who can’t stand each other, manage to deal with the situation and how their journey begins to unfold in a rather interesting fashion.
Saurabh Shukla’s direction is mature and definitely better than the script which loses steam after a point. However, the whole angle of space crunch in Bombay and illegal occupation of flats would be comprehended and appreciated more by the audience in Bombay and other big cities but the viewers in small towns may not identify with the housing crisis. Both Vinay Pathak and Neha Dhupia looks comfortable in their parts and do a decent job but could've given pleasant or rather entertaining performances had the storyline aided their characters. Rajjat Kapoor makes a customary entry in the film and doesn't quite contribute to the plot in any manner. Gets completely wasted. Naseeruddin Shah is forcefully added to the cast and much to the annoyance is horribly wasted with a small inconsequential role.
Over all, Pappu doesn't quite work saala…Fails to entertain or leave any impact on the audience.

About Movie:-Jo Hum Chaheromance thriller upconing bollywood hindi movie will release in December 16, 2011. This movie cast inclued Sunny Gill, Simran Kaur Mundi. The Movie Jo Hum Chahe is Directed and written by Pawan Gil and produced by Aman Gill. This film music director Sachin Gupta.Jo Hum Chahe movie is a modern coming of age romance that reflects the current urban landscape of contemporary India, focusing on the aspirations of the youth and what they do to achieve their desires.
Sunny Gill is a Model and has shared screen space with Indian Cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in one of the commercials. Simran Mundi is Miss India Universe. Both the actors are very young and are also very attractive at the very same time. The attractive pairing and storyline of this film assures me that this film will turn out to be great attempt at the box office.
The film has been shot in Mumbai, Goa, Pune, Ladakh.
Music Review:- In music album most of the song are melodious famous singer like K K, Shreya Ghoshal, Jaspreet Singh, Mona Thakur, Sasha Tirupati, Neeraj Shridhar and Sunidhi Chauhan.

Movie Review:- The story is predictable and stretches like a long ending love saga. Director Pawan Gill doesn't impress much in terms of storytelling, he ensures that the film is a technically sound product and extracts notable performances from the cast.The story is clumsy to the core. The only performance of note is that of Aly Khan who brings in that intensity to his character that makes it very real. Cool, calm and calculated. The romance is cheesy, the writing is verbose and the emotions are so soap-opera that it seems like watching a TV serial. A multitude of songs only add to your tedium. And the second half almost seems like an endless saga with the hero trying to mend his ways. Sunny Gill and Simran Kaur Mundi make an ordinary debut. The direction and other technical aspects are average
About Dialogues,Cinematography and Music:- Dialogues are extremely cheesy and lack punches. Music is quite peppy and suits the mood of the film. In Whole Jo Hum Chahein certainly doesn't have what we wish from a film – entertainment.

Release Date    09-Dec-2011

About Story:-Ladies VS Ricky Bahl is upcoming movie of Yash Raj Films. Last year’s Superhit Jodi of Band Baja Baraat Ranveer Singh-Anushka Sharma will return with Ladies vs Ricky Behl. It is a romantic comedy flick and revolves around Ranveer Singh (Ricky Bahl) who cons girls for living but finally ends up meeting his match which will be played by Anushka Sharma. This movie is a fun-filled romantic comedy starring Ranveer Singh, who has won everyone's heart with his endearing and scintillating performance, as well as the Best Actor (Debut) at all the award shows this year, and the accomplished and charismatic Anushka Sharma.
Special Attraction:-This movie plans to be in theatres worldwide on 9th Dec 2011, the same weekend Band Baaja Baaraat released previous year. The film is produced by Aditya Chopra and is based on a story developed by him. Habib Faisal has written the dialogues, the screenplay is by Devika Bhagat. The music will be composed by Salim-Sulaiman, and the film will be shot by Aseem Mishra (DOP), all of whom have been a part of Band Baaja Baaraat.

Movie Review:- In Vickay vs Ladies Ricky Bahl (Ranveer) is a con man. With his charming nature, he makes women fall at his feet. he wins their admiration wherever he goes.He woos rich women and exploits them financially too. His basic idea is to make quick money while woman get fooled with his He wants to become rich at their expense without getting caught.One fine day he meets Ishika Desai ( Anushka Sharma), who is a similar type to him. Two share almost same characteristics. As for Anushka she is a fearless actress, not afraid to let her emotions overrule her makeup. Ranveer and Anushka's chemistry is intact. Ranveer is subdued and pretty impressive but knowing his potential, could have been far better.
Ladies vs Ricky Bahl isn’t a boring film. It’s kept breezy throughout, with enough going on to keep the audience distracted. However, it definitely misses the charm of Band Baaja Baraat, the complexity ofemotions. Story of the movie is predictable. The songs aren’t that great (except for Aadat se majboor) and the dialogues aren’t memorable.Overall, a decent entertaining moive.

Shooting Locations : Thailand
About Music:-
There are eleven track in the album including three remix and one Instrumental. K.K, Shreya Ghoshaland Shaan gave good music to this film.

Movie Review:- The storyline which start with NRI Abhishek (Jatin Khurana) meets salsa teacher cum gym trainer Neha (Noopur Patwardhan) and falls in love with her. They get married and move to Bangkok – on her insistence – but she disappears the first day itself. Enter Abhishek’s college best friend Simran (Akansha Shivhare) who helps Abhishek in finding Neha and the reason behind her leaving Abhishek.
Rakesh Jain’s story is quite childish. Even the screenplay (credited to no one) is immature. Newcommer Jatin is no hero material. His looks and his performance are very ordinary. Noopur also makes a dull debut. She is average as far as her looks are concerned. Akansha Shivhare (as Simran) acts with sincerity. Music (Vipin Patwa and Reeky) is okay although the songs haven’t been popularised.

Movie Review:- The story revolves around the misery of an independent doctor by day and a helpless keep of Sisodiya( Manoj Bajpayee) by night, Anshu (Tia Bajpai). Sisodiya wouldn't marry her but visit her every night, and wouldn't let her escape with her equally miserable parents.The film works essentially as a no-holds-barred indictment of the lawlessness that prevails in the small, neglected towns which have somehow fallen off the map of India in terms of infrastructure, law and order and development. LANKA belongs to Manoj Bajpayee, who delivers a commanding performance. He handles the toughest moments and carries the smart lines without any hiccups. Arjan doesn't get many lines to deliver, but he conveys through his eyes and expressions. He's earnest. Tia gets a few moments to shine. Yashpal Sharma is bankable. Yatin Karyekar leaves a mark. A capable actor like Manish Chaudhary is wasted this time. Shweta Salve sizzles in the item number. On the whole, LANKA has some shining moments, but they are few and far between.

About Movie:-It’s a movie of a make-up girl who became an extra and then the most wanted heroine of the early 80s. Chronicling the meteoric rise and steep fall of the erstwhile screen sensation - Silk Smitha, The Dirty Picture is set against the colorful and entertaining backdrop of the South film industry of the 80’s. The quintessential siren, Silk, knew her audiences, and it didn't seem like anything would stop the fiercely ambitious starlet, till it did, in the shape of unrequited love.
To the world, she was the queen of sensuality. But at heart, Silk was just another woman craving true love. An unfortunate encounter with deceit and infidelity led to dire consequences!
Balajiand Milan Luthria team up again after their smash hit, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, to create a dazzling and spectacular musical entertainer that is already in the news for being the most keenly anticipated drama of the year.
About Music:-There is total six track in this movie. Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal sang two songs. The song reveals a 1980's feel to it. Bappi Lahiri, the singer of the song, has recently commented on the release of it, stating that "Ooh La La has already become a craze. It will rock the nation.

Movie Review:-It’s Vidya Balan all the way who keeps you glued with her sizzling and daring performance and rarely an actress of her class would have opted to play such a role. Whatsoever, her bold act and involvement in the character is commendable. Among the male actors Emraan is effectual and plays his role well. Naseeruddin Shah is better at times but looks too old for certain shots. Tusshar Kapoor doesn’t have much to do. Anju Mahendroo as journalist is impressive.With a highly entertaining first half, and a mediocre second, The Dirty Picture falls short of being truly remarkable. Vidya Balan (one star solely for her), and entertaining dialogue, the film is worth the ticket price.The Dirty Picture succeeds because of Vidya Balan in the finest acting performance of the year out of India. She is able to overcome the clumsy writing to make her character sympathetic and the film incredibly engaging. The melodrama drags down the second half, but Balan's charisma keeps the audience from drifting in a way that requires a true and powerful talent. This film offers big laughs, fantastic spectacle, big emotions, and a powerhouse performance from a brave and exciting actress. The Dirty Picture is a winner, and with the help of a good editor, could probably even make the art house rounds if it wanted to. However, I'll take Bollywood with all of its faults and excesses any day, and this is quality Bollywood. With a highly entertaining first half, and a mediocre second, The Dirty Picture falls short of being truly remarkable.
Vishal-Shekhar’smusic is mediocre except for Bappi Lahiri's Oh La La, which, along with South chartbuster Nakka Mukka are skillfully integrated in the background to add effect.

Expected Review of Movie:-To build expectations of any sort whatsoever, one has to be aware of the product at the least. In case of I Am Singh, one doesn't have any clue whatsoever around where did the film actually arrive from. Add to that the fact that it is a non-starcast affair and there are further apprehensions around what the music would indeed have in store here. With multiple composers creating a song or two apiece, 'I Am Singh' is a loaded album with as many as 10 tracks in it.
Next to arrive is the title song 'I Am Singh' which in its very treatment and flavour is different from the likes of 'Singh Is Kinng' or 'Shera Di Kaum' [Speedy Singhs]. This one is much more rooted in its appeal and has a 'desi' mood and feel to it. Composed by Sumitra Iyer and written by Raj Hans, 'I Am Singh'is a Punjabi track that sees the coming together of Daler Mehndi, Sukhwinder Singh and Hard Kaur. Though in first few listening it does lend a sense of deja vu, 'I Am Singh' does settle down after a while due to its boisterous and celebratory mood. Yet another song that lasts close to 7 minutes, it is also accompanied by a relatively shorter (four minutes long) 'Video Edit' version.
Though one didn't have any set expectations from I Am Singh to begin with, it turns out to be reasonably okay, though predictable, soundtrack. Given the fact that the album has arrived virtually unannounced on the stands, it is bound to struggle when it comes to making its presence felt amongst the listeners. However with a couple of Punjabi tracks expected to find their target audience, it may just manage to impress its target audience.

Movie Review:- After the 9/11 tragedy in US, the Sikhs were targeted and were victims of mistaken identity. The film highlights what happened to a few of them and their fights against it, never losing the faith in US judicial system. The film tells the stories of unsung heroes.
The direction is so incompetent that Punit Issar resorts to sunrise and sunset to metaphorically represent cheer and gloom.The cast is universally bad, and in competition with each other to snatch the trophy of 'Most Unconvincing Performer'. The disgustingly silly, lifeless and done-to-death script; the boring drama; the irritating English dialogues; the never-ending rhetoric; the below-average performances; poor editing.The constant references to and from Sikhism which will appeal to the Punjabis and Sikhs in the audience; a couple of song picturisations.On the positive side, a few scenes, where members of the Khalsa Panth are depicted wielding swords and showing off their martial skills, are well-shot and exciting.This film is come 5 years too late. By now everyone knows what Sikhs and Muslims went through after the attack on the Twin Towers and how the world was outraged at this.
I AM SINGH is not the one chartbusting album that one may expect but is certainly an entertainer for all those who cherish the feel of being 'Singh' and like 'bhangra' beat culture music. Tracks like 'Dukalaang Pranaasi','I am Singh', 'Kya Jeena' and 'Turban victory', are really good.

Dam999 Release Date : 25,Nov 2011

2011-12-18T01:52:00.000-08:00

Producer    Abhini Sohan
Director    Sohan Roy
Release Date    25-Nov-2011

About Movie :-DAM Disaster...DAM999 is a tribute to the lost souls of the world's worst man made dam disasters which claimed a toll of lives. The story revolves around the central edifice in this movie, a 100-year-old dam built by the British during their colonial days in India. Like a dam, each character in this movie holds back their emotions for various reasons. Eventually the dam breaks along with that of its characters, drawing the audience to a gripping climax. The number 999 has great importance in British Colonial Indian history. The story reveals the concealed truth of India's age-old myths and science.
It’s a Emotional Thriller movie in 3D.
Suspense in the movie titles it as a thriller. DAM999 portrays the realities of life, some shared and some unshared. Navarasa or 9 human emotions are shown by 9 characters in the movie. Just as a Dam holds water, the 9 characters in the movie hold back their emotion, which eventually breaks out during a disaster drawing the audience to a gripping climax.

Movie Review:- The film deals with the disaster that big dams cause to human settlement and is based on the disaster that struck China when the Banqiao dam burst in 1975 and claimed the lives of almost 2,50,000 victims. But seriously, the film is less about the dam and more about stuff you fail to comprehend.Sohan Roy’s direction is horrifyingly pathetic. He mounts the film of an above average scale and makes sure he has got the right locations, but pays no heed to the demands of his botched script or narration.The 3D adds no value. Ajayan Vincent’s cinematography is good. The only high point about the film is the climax sequence of the dam-breaking and the floods washing away the town. It reminds you of films like 2012, and though it doesn’t live up to that technical brilliance, it is extremely well-done and deserve a mention.Stars abound 'Dam 999' doesn't actually produce any noteworthy performances except Ashish Vidyarthi.
Music is good and songs have quality. Eight tracks are there in movie including the theme song. Hariharan, Shreya Ghoshal and K. Niran gave good songs.

Shakal Pe Mat Ja Release Date : 18,Nov 2011

2011-11-19T06:14:00.000-08:00

Producer    Deepa Sahi, Aanand Mahendroo
Director    Shubh
Music    Salim Merchant, Sulaiman Merchant, Nitin Kumar Gupta, Yo Yo Honey Singh
Writer    Shubh
Lyrics    Shraddha Pandit, Shubh, Yo Yo Honey Singh
Release Date    18-Nov-2011

Do not get deceived by the modest face-value of Shakal Pe Mat Ja assuming it to be of the low-on-star value but high-on-humour quotient varieties. The film starts as a seeming spin-off on last year's cult-comedy Tere Bin Laden but ends up being a commotional comedy-of-errors (rather erroneous comedy) treading into the Priyadarshan-Anees Bazmee zone.
So the film's actor-writer-director Shubh Mukherjee plays Aniket, who with his group of friends, aspires to make a documentary film on terror attacks. And you can actually see Aniket's attempt at making a college project film resulting into an amateurish filmmaking attempt by Shubh Mukherjee.
While taking random video shots within the international airport vicinity, the boys are taken into custody by police and detained at airport under suspicion of being terrorists. A potbellied anti-terrorist officer (Saurabh Shukla) comes to investigate. Amidst all this, one Omama Bin Laden, who heads some terrorist group Al Bakaida, is planning an actual attack at the airport.
Noise, disorder and confusion ensue for hours until Shubh comes to the point - to launch himself as the hero. And for that he just has to diffuse a bomb by snipping off one of the red-green-blue wires - a trademark gimmick of the 80s potboilers. Only if bomb diffusing and filmmaking were so easy, a lot more souls would have been saved.
Despite starting on a promising premise, writer-director Shubh Mukherjee isn't able to develop the plot in an interesting way and the potential for a fresh comedy is substituted by a formulaic film. The boys remain detained for more that half of the film and with nothing substantial happening through their confinement (other than repeated and redundant interrogation sessions), the narrative turns static and one-dimensional. The remaining film turns into a (supposed) comedy of mistaken identities inside the airport premises with beings and bags shifting hands every ten minutes.
The tone of the comedy, though not slapstick, is juvenile, inconsistent and ineffective at places. Neither is it supported by witty lines, nor by good comic-timed performances. The second half goes on and on and seems like an endless exercise where every character shouts their lungs out. An India-Pakistan live cricket match that plays in parallel has no relevance whatsoever with the central plot.
Shubh Mukherjee makes an earnest effort but gets the tone of humour wrong as the director. As an actor his dialogue delivery is suggestive of Shahid Kapoor, his acting is reminiscent of Riteish Deshmukh but, in totality, he comes across as a cheap imitation of Ali Zafar. Chitrak Bandhopadyay, employed as a prototype to the fat-bearded comic sidekick in films like Hangover or Delhi Belly, is not half as amusing. The only thing he makes noise for is his flatulent farting and fake firang accent. Child actor Pratik Katare isn't partially as funny as he was in Paa. Harsh Parekh lacks screen presence. Saurabh Shukla keeps 'shouting' at everyone around to lower their voice. Raghuvir Yadav appears malnourished. Pretty face Umang Jain is underused in an inconsequential role (once again after Love Breakups Zindagi). Aamna Shariff is hardly there. And why is Joy Sengupta even there.

Rockstar Release Date : 11,Nov 2011

2011-11-19T06:12:00.000-08:00

Producer    Dhilin Mehta
Director    Imtiaz Ali
Music    A. R. Rahman
Lyrics    Irshad Kamil
Release Date    11-Nov-2011

In the film, Ranbir Kapoor is advised that to be a true-blue artist and a real rockstar he has to experience pain, which will come through heartbreak. If we go by this theory, most audiences of this film will walk out of the hall as rockstars, since the movie will largely leave them heartbroken. But for heartbreak, it is imperative to fall in love first and that's exactly what director Imtiaz Ali does. He starts off the film on a promising note and just when you fall in love with the amazing first half, the narrative nosedives with a stagnant second half.
So you have the naive Janardhan Jakhar (Ranbir Kapoor) who aspires to be a rockstar like Jim Morrison. His yearning for heartbreak gets him close to Heer (Nargis Fakhri), as they bond over soft-porn cinema and country liquor. Soon after, the girl is married off to some NRI, the boy is thrown out of his house, he seeks solace in a dargah and next you know he's a singing sensation rechristened as Jordan.
A foreign tour reunites him with Heer and their passive passion rekindles until Jordan is obsessed with her. What follows is another tribute to Devdas or rather Dev.D with the neurotic, lovelorn protagonist unable to get over his mixed emotions and confused definition of love. But that's not all as the plot meanders to culminate into an undesired arena of Erich Segal's Love Story.
Imtiaz Ali is known for his old-wine-in-new-bottle brand of cinema. Rockstar is very much engaging as far as it is in that familiar territory, where the director adds a refreshing touch to the regular romance drama. The casual chemistry that he induces between the lead pair through their wacky and eventful escapades has its moments of charm. The passion-play between them when they reunite after years is spontaneous, smoldering and yet tastefully achieved. Their reunion is also faintly reminiscent of the Jab We Met reunion, where the character-conduct is reversed with the burbling boy now trying to make the gloomy girl's life more exciting. And like Love Aaj Kal, Imtiaz Ali kick-starts the film with a montage song highlighting select significant sequences from the entire film.
But beyond that when the director ventures into uncharted zone, the narrative loses track. While one can still overlook the Dev.D influenced intoxicating attitude of the proceedings (which you can somehow attribute to the convoluted rockstar protagonist), the subsequent terminal illness conflict takes the film towards an unwelcome and undefined end. After an interesting graph to the narrative in the first half, the story almost turns stationary in the second half. The screenplay seems stretched and gets monotonous with repetitive media-bashing scenes and flashback shots of what has been already served to you.
Another problem with the plot is that it is neither a standalone story about the rise-of-an-underdog who becomes the biggest rockstar nor is it merely a love story with a rockstar backdrop. The director somewhere attempts to correlate the rockstar's rise with his romance but isn't able to achieve that impeccably. In fact the original one-liner plot with which the movie starts (a painful heartbreak gets out the real artist inside you) goes for a complete toss by the end. One can never clearly perceive when Jordan's heart is broken in the assorted scheme of events and that's where the film loses objectivity.
The storytelling pattern of the film is needlessly intricate for a simple romance-drama genre. While it is very much linear, the frequent use of multiple montages can have you confused. Initially the montages aid brisk storytelling but subsequently there are so much of them that it gets puzzling. Editing the film would surely have been a difficult task. Anil Mehta's cinematography is brilliant as he captures the beauty of Kashmir, Italy and Delhi with panache. AR Rahman's wide range of music has numbers which are instantly infectious (Sadda Haq) and others that take time to grow on you.
If Rockstar keeps you engaged even after you have given up on the story by the end, it is only because of Ranbir Kapoor. From his innocence in the opening reels to his arrogance in the climax, Ranbir breathes life into Jordan and keeps you riveted. Whether he adlibs his songs, gives a dance-tribute to Shammi Kapoor or dictates the concert crowd, Ranbir gives cent percent to his character. How much ever you try to ignore, but Nargis Fakhri fervently reminds of Katrina Kaif through her looks, acting, lip movements (and seemingly also has the same voice dubbing artist). Nevertheless she is likeable and shares good chemistry with Ranbir. Kumud Mishra as Jordan's advisor-turned-manager is impressive. Aditi Rao Hydari is confident but marred by a short-lived character. Piyush Mishra makes for an animated-yet-interesting negative lead. And it's pleasing to see Shammi Kapoor is his last decent cameo.
Rockstar rocks you but only partially thanks to the star called Ranbir Kapoor.

Na Jaane Kabse.. Release Date : 04,Nov 2011

2011-11-19T06:10:00.000-08:00

Producer    Pammi Somal, Gurtejpal S. Somal
Director    Pammi Somal
Music    Jatin Pandit
Writer    Pammi Somal
Release Date    04-Nov-2011

New Delhi: With no big releases to draw audiences this week, smaller releases like 'Shakal Pe Mat Ja', 'Happi', 'Who's there?' and 'Na Jaane Kabse' were hoping to draw in the audiences between them.
But what actually happened, without a doubt, was a box office wipe out. Strikes one in the face when one walks in to an empty movie hall on a Friday evening.
'Na Jaane Kabse' stars new comer Gary Gill, Amrita Prakash, Sharat Saxena, Gurpreet Guggi, Lilette Dubey, Javed Sheikh, Ayub Khan, Anju Mahendroo and Himan Shivpuri.
'Na Jaane Kabse' is another brave attempt by the director Pammi Somal of the 'Mummy Punjabi' fame. It is a typical Bollywood love story between a 'self made' bartender-turned-resort's managing director and a librarian. At this point it must be added that the girl is actually the daughter of a bigger resort owner who has made the library for his daughter so as she does not have to work outside her protective precinct.
Could the movie have worked if the girl was actually a librarian? We may never know for economic differences are not Somal's bone of contention. Everyone in her movies seems to have ample money and fancy homes.
Karan (Garry Gill) is in need for a bride (albeit a fake one) when the girl he is supposed to get married to runs out on him. As Bollywood coincidences would have it he ends up taking a lift from Anjali (Amrita Prakash) and in a turn of events the 'drama queen' Anjali decides to help out 'tragedy king' Karan.
So begins the picturesque journey to a Karan's resort in the hills and in three days time they magically fall in love. Cliched? Who’s judging? They have the rains at the strategic time, the magical make over of a spectacled Anjali to a rather pretty 'fake' bride, the photoshoots by the foreign press, the Bollywood perfected gestures of affection and jokes.
The subplot of the story is Karan’s effort to get his resort publicity and the entry of Anjali's father – played rather deftly by Sharat Saxena who seems to have mastered comedy by now. He has been doing it since 'Mr India'. The main plot is the 3 day long love story filled with 'bhangra-perfect' songs – incidentally Somal has bhangra dancers ready all the time! And one prays silently that there will come a time when B grade Bollywood will grow up from the stock formula of a boy who wants to marry someone ‘hot and sexy’ and falls instead for a spectacle wearing 'gharelu' girl. And here’s the twist – he actually wears glassed himself!
And that is basically all the movie has to offer – the songs are not half bad but they suffer from bad choreography. At one point in the movie Anjali has a dream sequence in Leh-Ladakh and one can actually spot her wearing sneakers in quite a handful of scenes till finally a close up shows her golden sandals. You have to give it to the director – the locations are wonderful.
But as a film that aims to give a 'social' message as even 'Mummy Punjabi' does – the message seems to be rather obscure – Anjali tells her father – 'Why don't parents understand that their children can choose their life partners well'.
Characters appear and disappear just as abruptly and the audience (the few who can brave this) sit and wonder why they are even there. In his debut Garry Gill has a long, long, long way to go. Amrita Prakash, who ideally has more on-screen experience than Gill does – does a better job. She has played the kid sister in so many movies that she has not come out of that mode. It seems that Geet from 'Jab We Met' is the role model of all chirpy, smartly in-your-face girls all over India.
The story had some marginal potential but it was all done away with sub-standard acting from the lead actors. One can never figure out how the father suddenly changes his mind and is so terribly apologetic to his daughter – she was after all in love with a 'ex-bartender' – the old money against the nouveau riche logic. One cannot fathom the waste of an actor like Lilette Dubey and even Himani Shivpuri.
The most excruciating part of the movie is the love letter/proposal that Anjali sends out to her 'self made man of substance' Karan – for she wants to make sure she does not hurt his bruised ego (bruised by being jilted in love).
Give this movie a miss, you have nothing to lose.

Loot Release Date : 04,Nov 2011

2011-11-19T06:07:00.000-08:00

Producer    Suniel Shetty, Shabbir Boxwala
Director    Rajneesh Thakur
Music    Shamir Tandon, Mika Singh
Writer    Prawal Raman
Release Date    04-Nov-2011

It might have taken debutante director Rajnish Raj Thakur huge efforts to mess up a fairly engaging plotline. His insipid direction, some disinterested performances, painful dialogues, shoddy editing and shabby production values do the wonders of looting Crime Spree of its original essence.
So you have four small-time robbers sent to Pattaya on a big assignment. Govinda and Javed Jafferi only speak in coded gibberish. Mahaakshay Chakraborthy's stereotype Christian character insists on uttering 'hey man' in every line he speaks in the film, perhaps to cover up the sissiness in his vocal chords. (Producer) Suniel Shetty takes a backseat, subtly hinting the group that he has sponsored the Thailand vacation and they have to run the extra mile. The quartet accidentally ends up robbing the wrong guy Lala (Mahesh Manjrekar), who happens to be a local don. Now he is out to get them and so are a bunch of some other guys (including the annoyed audience).
Rajnish Thakur does a blatant copy-paste job to the extent that he doesn't even bother to change the backdrops, locations or props in the scenes. It is certainly not a case of 'giving an apt tribute to the original' but more of 'having no vision of his own'. Crime Spree, in itself, was an offshoot of the cult success of Guy Ritchie's Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and interpreted its inherent sense of humour. Alas Loot isn't able to adapt the humour of the original and most of the gags are lost in translation and fall flat.
Also almost everyone seems to be miscast in the film. The comic genius of Govinda and Javed Jafferi are employed for action sequences in place of Suniel Shetty. The meek Mahaakshay is supposed to exude heroism. Mika doesn't sing but act. The dialogues are written as if a prosaic antakshari were playing, with every line trying to interconnect itself with the succeeding line. The editing is bad, cinematography is tacky and Pattaya looks so paltry that possibly Thailand tourism would think twice before sanctioning another film to be shot there.
The performances are consistently unappealing. Govinda and Javed Jafferi's potential to induce genuine laughs (esp. when the comedy was not merely slapstick) remains untapped. Suniel Shetty is regular. Mahaakshay Chakraborty should quit acting. Mahesh Manjrekar is let down by a dull director. Ravi Kishan and Mika are plain average. Thankfully Shweta Bhardwaj is knocked off pretty early in the plot and Rakhi Sawant's item number appears only in the end credits.
Loot robs you off some potential entertaining moments!
