Debutant director Karan Malhotra sponges from the original, but bestows the new version with a fresh texture [screenplay adapted by Ila Bedi Datta and Karan Malhotra]. Krishnan Iyer M.A. [portrayed by Mithun Chakraborty in the original] is done away with, while Malhotra introduces another negative character called Rauf Lala [Rishi Kapoor] to make the proceedings more volatile and explosive. One can envisage the kind of burden the director has shouldered and despite the fact that viewers would be scrutinizing the goings-on with a magnifying glass and watching every frame minutely, you cannot refute the fact that Karan Malhotra has done a remarkable job as a storyteller.</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span"><b>On the whole, AGNEEPATH is a fitting tribute to the masterwork. The movie has all the potential to scale dizzy heights of victory and catapult Hrithik Roshan as the newest member of the 100 cr Club, besides providing the Hindi film industry with the first giant Blockbuster of 2012. A definite winner! </b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/503039" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span">Source</span></a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Agneepath Review By:</span></b></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Piyali Dasgupta - NDTV - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></span><br /> Watch this film because this one is unadulterated Bollywood entertainment.

Agneepath is that rare mainstream movie that is written well. Sanjay Dutt's Kancha Cheena speaks Sanskritised Hindi, referencing the epics. Priyanka Chopra's Marathi lilt is a carryover from her cheerful role in Kameeney. Hrithik Roshan, well, Hrithik Roshan just burns silently, seething, waiting, plotting, planning. His gangster is the purest form of criminal because he has no motive but to restore his father's reputation. His father who taught him to work without waiting for results, to recite poetry, how to eat, how to respect life.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/agneepath-movie-review/1/170710.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span">Source</span></a></div></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Agneepath Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Subhash K.

"Agneepath" is brilliant in its brutality. It's a riveting and hectic homage to the spirit of the cinema when revenge reigned supreme. And content was King. This new "Agneepath" takes us back to the era when there was no computer or cellphones.

For 15 years, she never knew she had a brother. And, it is only here, that Rishi manages to go top gear in the evil department. <br /> - The climax more than makes up for the weak beginning.

Audiences at my cinema respond to the cues and lines. The comments passed sometimes distract you from the screen. Everyone guffaws at the same time. This is the kind of genuine theatre experience, now getting rare, which remains most precious in the life of a film-goer. Reason can take over later.

In place of treading on the first one's revealed structure, they dwell on its subtext, like Vijay Chauhan's (Roshan)  entry and emergence in the world of crime and his rationale behind avenging his father's brutal murder.<br /> For all his Robin-Hoodness, the revised Vijay is much more calculating, coldblooded, bumping off every obstacle in his way (adhering to the Idhar har taaqatwar apne se kam ko maar ke jeeta hai aphorism of Mukul S Anand's protagonist) and sans any reservation towards drug peddling. This story ploy, of Vijay's slyly shifting motives, results in some fine, unpredictable moments in the film.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>To me, that's exactly how Agneepath works, less of a remake, more of a tribute. </b></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-agneepath-less-of-a-remake-more-of-a-tribute/20120126.htm" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span">Source</span></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Agneepath Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Mansha Rastogi - Now Running - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">One of the prerequisites for watching Karan Malhotra's Agneepath version 2012 is that one comes with a clear and open mind as after the initial 20 odd minutes that match up to the original version, the film takes its own course and establishes a new plot, which too mind you, has its own potent standing in the main plot running in the backdrop. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Much against some flaws, Agneepath deserves to be lauded for performances and should be encouraged for a very convincing remake to a cult classic.</b></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/9278/bollywood.hindi/agneepath/3532/review.htm" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span">Source</span></a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Agneepath Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Aniruddha Guha - DNA  - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">An adaptation rather than a remake, the film assumes a life of its own once the central plot has been established -- evil Kancha (Sanjay Dutt) frames principled school teacher, Master Dinanath Chauhan, for a crime that results in his death; son Vijay Chauhan (Hrithik Roshan) returns years later to seek revenge. Having dealt with that in the first 20 minutes (as in the original), the film then charts a journey of his own. The film's emotional quotient is balanced with some brilliant, intense action sequences, none of it slick but packing a solid punch, and captured superbly by two very accomplished cinematographers -- Ravi K Chandran and Kiran Deohans. All the scenes depicting Mandwa, and the Ganesh Chaturti sequence, stay with you thanks to deft camera work, and polished post-production.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/review_review-agneepath-old-school-melodrama_1642304" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span">Source</span></a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Agneepath Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Zee News - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">The film, which is a remake of a cult classic starring Big B, has the same story line more or less but director Karan Malhotra introduces some new characters like Rauf Lala(played brilliantly by Rishi Kapoor) and minuses some old ones. When you are making a cult classic, comparisons are inevitable. But Karan Malhotra plays it safe and changes the story to a certain extend to make it a contemporary fresh film. The treatment given to the film is that of a typical masala potboiler which is high on drama, action and emotions. So you have a mother giving birth to a child in the middle of the road, the hero’s sister being assaulted by the villain and hero himself giving long dramatic dialogues in the climax scene. Sounds familiar? Well, let just say that it is flashback 80s hindi cinema. </div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/movies/review-the-brooding-hrithik-is-back-in-agneepath_104687.htm" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span">Source</span></a></div></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span"> </span><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Agneepath Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gaurav Malani - Times Of India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings:<span style="font-size: large;">Better than Good</span></span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">With Bollywood being obsessed with remakes in recent times, Agneepath is an important lesson on how to pay proper tribute to the original.

All this time we witness our filmmakers rip-off Hollywood scene-by-scene but the minute they acquire rights, they are hit by an army of brainwaves or an insuppressible need to improvise (read flounder).   </span><br /> </div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-players-is-lacklustre-and-unimaginative/20120106.htm" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Source</span></a></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Players</b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Super Good Movies - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Plus points</b>: </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Neil Nitin Mukesh,</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Vinod Khanna, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Picturesque locations</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Minus Point</b>: </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">too many loopholes,</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> direction</span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.supergoodmovies.com/36567/bollywood/players-movie-review-movie-review-details" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Source</span></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Players </b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span></div></div></div><div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Kunal Guha- Yahoo Movies</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings </span></b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Game Over</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Adapting from a book and adapting from another film have one constant: both are subjected to comparison. That aside, the larger argument here is whether adapting from a film is ethical or not. Some directors respond to this reflexively, saying that it only helps narrate a good story to a larger audience or that it is a fond tribute. But a remake of ‘The Italian Job’ which makes the defining chase sequence look like a rickshaw chugging over monsoon-corroded roads refutes both these rationales. Definitely a job taken not so seriously.</span><br /> </div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://in.movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-reviews/players-review-130902418.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Source</span></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Players</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Oneindia</b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The movie is all about a gang of skillful, stylish and sharp players, who who team up to carry out a heist. Unlike The Italian Job, Players lacks a captivating screenplay. Abbas-Mustan have added some extra elements, which were not there in the original classic and they make the movie very lengthy and boring. Trimming of certain sequences could have enhanced impact of the movie. </span></div><a href="http://www.glamsham.com/movies/reviews/23-don2-movie-review-121101.asp" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Source</span></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-200797427410638501?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2012/01/players-bollywood-movie-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-5149405242070195406Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:14:00 +00002011-12-30T13:44:29.646+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewKya Yahi Sach Hai Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Hy5iwOmNhYkv3-rrh8QL_1eCGH8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Hy5iwOmNhYkv3-rrh8QL_1eCGH8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Hy5iwOmNhYkv3-rrh8QL_1eCGH8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Hy5iwOmNhYkv3-rrh8QL_1eCGH8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">AVERAGE RATINGS OF 4 REVIEWS - 1/5</span></b></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sd55vKAeJk8/Tv1wgqeMqcI/AAAAAAAAAug/MxSFqMmNVa0/s1600/kya_sach_movie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sd55vKAeJk8/Tv1wgqeMqcI/AAAAAAAAAug/MxSFqMmNVa0/s200/kya_sach_movie.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /> </span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /> <div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Kya Yahi Sach Hai</b></span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Mansha Rastogi - Now Running - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 1/5</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A year that turned out to be quite a potpourri of good and bad films is almost close to its end. The filmy mills have shut shops and tuned into the reverie of the season. Even the cinegoers are busy bringing in the New Year. But to break the reverie comes in a film Kya Yahi Sach Hai that boasts of shaking our belief in the law and political system. The promotional tactics of the film have been to question every current political and social issue raising a question as if the film were to answer it. </span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/9923/bollywood.hindi/kya-yahi-sach-hai/3495/review.htm" target="_blank">Source</a></span><br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b>Kya Yahi Sach Hai</b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dailybhaskar.com  - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>3 Ups and 3 Downs</b>:  </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A predictable and long-drawn-out storyline is one of the biggest drawbacks of the movie.

Although IPS Raghu’s story forms the crux but there are several plots in the film. At least three stories proceed simultaneously. The second most effective story is of the parasitic Mumbai Police Commissioner who is ready to stoop down to any level for the sake of his social prestige. </span></div></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://ibnlive.in.com/news/review-kya-yahi-sach-hai-has-a-message/216169-8-66.html" target="_blank">Source</a></span></div><div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-5149405242070195406?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2011/12/kya-yahi-sach-hai-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-3443477987043034252Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:14:00 +00002011-12-23T15:54:04.681+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewDon 2 Movie Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qBhlw5oTYJ7s8Go3vrRWXeLly2c/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qBhlw5oTYJ7s8Go3vrRWXeLly2c/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qBhlw5oTYJ7s8Go3vrRWXeLly2c/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qBhlw5oTYJ7s8Go3vrRWXeLly2c/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">AVERAGE RATINGS OF 10 REVIEWS - 2.9/5</span></b></span><br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Star Cast</span>: Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta, Boman Irani</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jxUKkYQRMo0/TvRSijcMc7I/AAAAAAAAAuE/h7wJC1bzh8A/s1600/priyanka-chopra-don-2-posters-bollyupdatescom-03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jxUKkYQRMo0/TvRSijcMc7I/AAAAAAAAAuE/h7wJC1bzh8A/s320/priyanka-chopra-don-2-posters-bollyupdatescom-03.jpg" width="138" /></span></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /> </span></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Don 2 Review By:</span></b></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nikhat Kazmi - Times Of India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 4/5</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Movie Review: Don 2 is a classic action/crime thriller that doesn't let go, even for a moment. More importantly, the plot has been finely crafted, with every twist and turn falling into place like a complicated albeit neat little jigsaw. With a canvas that goes on a cross-country ride -- Thailand, Malaysia, Zurich, Berlin -- the film challenges you to hop aboard its high speed scuttle and attentively follow the exploits of its glamorous gangster. One who oscillates between two avatars -- Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible) and James Bond -- without losing out on his desi charisma.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Don-2/movie-review/11205411.cms" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Source</span></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Don 2 Review By:</span></b></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Aniruddha Guha - DNA India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What keeps Don 2 alive, then, is its pulsating action. It helps the pace quicken as the film progresses, including a thrilling chase sequence and a wonderfully choreographed-and-shot pre-climax sequence. Cinematographer Jason West (Rock On) and stunt director Matthias Barsch enthuse life into proceedings, ensuring that action junkies get their fill.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The film, however, is nothing more than an attempt to cash in; to set opening weekend records. And to provide a vehicle for its lead star to dazzle (so much so, every other actor seems inconsequential). Thankfully, Shah Rukh Khan is in form. The body language is cocky, the attitude flamboyant, and the smirk consistent. In a full-fledged action role, Khan goes the whole hog, pulling off the stunts with panache. Only for him, Don 2 is pretty enjoyable.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/review_review-shah-rukh-khan-makes-don-2-work_1629155" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Source</span></a></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Don 2 Review By:</span></b></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the whole, DON 2 rides on star power and brand value. The film has a bland first hour, but the second half takes the film to another level. There's no denying that a cohesive script would've made a world of a difference to the film, but the tremendous hype, star power and the lucrative period [Christmas and New Year celebrations] will make its investors reap a harvest.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/525404" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Source</span></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Don 2 Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Komal Nahta - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Koimoi - Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>What’s Good</b>: The engaging post-interval portion, Shah Rukh Khan’s endearing performance; the canvas; the stylised acting and narration; the revelation of the suspense.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>What’s Bad</b>: The slow-paced first half; the technical details in the drama which will confuse a section of the audience; the music; the boring portions which spring up at several places.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Verdict</b>: Don 2 is a winner.

But problems begin when the rest of the film becomes one long string of sequences where Sunny tries to say sorry and Simran retaliates with what's in a sorry! The film literally enters into static zone, once the romance falls into dire straits. How long can you keep watching a heartbroken guy apologise again and again to an unrelenting lady? <br /> Essentially a non-happening film with mediocre acting.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Jo-Hum-Chahein/movie-review/11130556.cms" target="_blank">Source</a></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Jo Hum Chahein Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2.5/5</span></b> </div></div><div style="text-align: left;">First-time director Pawan Gill attempts to tell a love story that deals with the problems and struggles of a Gen X couple.

Well shot with several interesting moments, it's a film that the urban youth should identify with instantly.On the whole, JO HUM CHAHEIN is a decent watch that will require a strong word of mouth to leave a mark.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/547953" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Jo Hum Chahein Review</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Rajeev Masand - CNN-IBN - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Debutant writer-director Pawan Gill updates this familiar story with some real touches – the film's heroine doesn't shy away from pre-marital sex, and when it comes to having a baby she makes a rather radical choice. What helps this mostly formulaic film forward is the spiffy camerawork and a music score that's catchy and fresh, especially the glossy Ishq hothon se number, shot in picturesque Ladakh. <br /> 'Jo Hum Chahein' endeavors to strike a fresh note, but alas, it's let down by the weight of its trite dialogues. I'm going with two out of five for 'Jo Hum Chahein' – it's a decent first effort, even though it smacks of sameness.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masand-jo-hum-is-a-decent-first-effort/212593-47-84.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Jo Hum Chahein Review</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Komal Nahta - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Koimoi - Ratings 0.5/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">What’s Good: Songs are fairly nice.<br /> What’s Bad: The routine story; the twisted screenplay that doesn’t involve the audience; the ordinary performances.<br /> Verdict: Jo Hum Chahein is a boring and weak fare which will find the going very tough.<br /> Loo break: Several.<br /> Watch or Not?: Watch it if you like to watch love stories with newcomers.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/jo-hum-chahein-review/" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-5106983089358679862?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2011/12/jo-hum-chahein-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-7319514582049240036Sat, 17 Dec 2011 08:29:00 +00002011-12-17T13:59:48.411+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewPapu Can`t Dance Saala Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rm2tReL3-2n8mSYZKI-QSzLLg9E/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rm2tReL3-2n8mSYZKI-QSzLLg9E/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rm2tReL3-2n8mSYZKI-QSzLLg9E/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/rm2tReL3-2n8mSYZKI-QSzLLg9E/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1KUiLvW2DM/TuxQNZOHMLI/AAAAAAAAACw/jHVLVlKFht4/s1600/Neha-Dhupia-Vinay-Pathak-Pappu-Can-t-Dance-Saala.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1KUiLvW2DM/TuxQNZOHMLI/AAAAAAAAACw/jHVLVlKFht4/s1600/Neha-Dhupia-Vinay-Pathak-Pappu-Can-t-Dance-Saala.jpg" width="200" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>AVERAGE RATINGS OF 6 REVIEWS - 2.1/5</b></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Papu Can`t Dance Saala</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nikhat Kazmi - Times Of India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"> The film takes an interesting look at the lives of all the small town aspirants who come chasing their dreams to Mumbai, mega city, carrying the baggage of their native culture with them.

Vidyadhar [Vinay Pathak] has just shifted from Banaras to Mumbai. A man with old world values who finds it difficult to adjust in the city... Mehak [Neha Dhupia] is a dancer in Bollywood. She has learned the tricks of surviving in this fast-paced city. She is loud and jazzy... They're neighbors who, due to certain circumstances, somehow get stuck in the same flat... and thus begins their story! <br /> PAPPU CAN'T DANCE SAALA is unlike a Saurabh Shukla film. This time, to quote him, he's gone 'commercial', aiming for the mass audience. PAPPU CAN'T DANCE SAALA shows promise at the start; the character of Vinay Pathak specifically seems straight out of life. Though Vinay has been cast in a similar mould in the past, the actor brings that variation in his character that makes the goings-on watchable. Also, the sequences when Vinay and Neha clash -- first, when Neha organizes a party at her flat and next, when they meet the members of the Society to voice their grievances -- are truly enjoyable.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/508235" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Papu Can`t Dance Saala </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Daily.bhaskar.com  - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">3ups and downs: Neha Dhupia shocks you with her confidence and the way she carries her character.

The ‘item girl’ calls him Pappu, which is an affront that all men with Pappu for a nickname are used to: whether in songs, ads, or films, and their titles.<br /> Pappu finds his girl in an agitated mode once. He quickly diagnoses her condition to be pre-menstrual stress, gifts her sanitary napkins. Is Pappu an imbecile? Or, wait; this is supposed to be funny?

Indeed, a yardstick that would be hard to measure up to. And yes, his second film doesn't really match the zing and the verve of the first one. <br /> Firstly, there is no humour, no earthy flavour (remember the vows on the bread pakora), no tingling chemistry between the lead pair -- everything which made the first film such a winner. </div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Ladies-VS-Ricky-Bahl/movie-review/11030547.cms" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Raja Sen - Rediff - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 1.5/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">It's always tragic to see those who defy the cookie-cutter mould try and sanitise themselves in an attempt to fit in. Ranveer Singh, who was fantastic in last year's Band Baaja Baaraat, here has his rough edges blunted by the generic sheen of wannabe stardom, and the result is most unfortunate.It's funny, really. With his first film we hoisted Ranveer Singh high above our shoulders because he scoffed at Shah Rukh Khan and very memorably told a bride how weddings didn't need superstars; now, in his second film, he has an SRK  dialogue as his caller-tune, and all it forces us to notice is how far he is from the Shah Rukh standard of superstardom.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-ladies-vs-ricky-bahl-is-sluggish-and-predictable/20111209.htm" target="_blank">Source</a> </div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Rajeev Masand - CNN IBN - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2.5/5 </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Director Maneesh Sharma grounds his characters in reality, but unlike last year’s charming Band Baaja Baaraat, this time he’s saddled with a clunky script. Good for him, he’s got actors he can count on. Anushka Sharma is in fine form as the pushy salesgirl who’s hired for this improbable mission, but the script asks so little of her. Ranveer Singh is competent and gets some lovely moments to shine – watch how he virtually casts a spell on a girlfriend’s parents when he carries her home in the wee hours of the morning, promising them he’ll always safeguard her dignity – but after a crackling debut as a quirky unconventional lead last year, with this film he’s struggling to fit into the traditional definition of a star.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I’m going with two-and-a-half out of five for director Maneesh Sharma’s 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl'. It’s an easily watchable film with much to smile about. Pity it could’ve been so much more fun.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masand-ladies-vs-ricky-bahl-is-watchable/210395-47-84.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b> </div></div><div style="text-align: left;">LADIES VS RICKY BAHL is, at best, a decent fare, which appeals in parts. The film starts well, even ends well. It's the in between that's plain ordinary. One definitely expected more from the director of the immensely likeable BAND BAAJA BAARAAT. Ideally, the film merits a two-and-a-half star rating, but that extra half star is for Ranveer and Anushka, who steal your heart with truly striking performances.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/reviews/type/view/id/1154/Ladies+VS+Ricky+Bahl" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl Review</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kunal Guha - Yahoo - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 1.5/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">So in the contest between Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl, it is the audience who loses out as it concludes as a sappy story, with the lead couple drifting out of character blinded by love (Sheesh!).

Even some lines seem familiar-your brains and my daring, and we can have a great business, says Ranveer. But I do wish Ranveer and Anushka would stop smiling at each other so much. Both are so thin that they seem to be Close-Up smiles morphed on amazingly agile bodies. When both actors forget to smile quite so much, they actually do a good job. And Ranveer is a good actor, only Yash Raj has to stop referencing Shah Rukh Khan every time they cast him-in Band Baaja Baraat they made him dance instead of the Khan at a wedding. In Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, they make him download a Baazigar dialogue as his caller tune which has a starring role.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/ladies-vs-ricky-bahl-movie-review/1/163621.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div><div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Indian Express - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Dilli ka tadka, Mumbai ka masala, Lucknow ki nazakat, Goa mein shararat : you can fit 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl' into these segments, along with their components, and you get a film which is more blah than Bahl.

She lives in a gargoyle of a house, has a property dealer father who wears a red velvet gown which matches his hennaed hair, and a mother who believes her darling daughter is off to a sangeet rather than the 'disc' she is headed to.

She gives a towering performance as the protagonist who remains unapologetic about her life till the very end. The high point of her act is the fact that despite portraying a sex bomb, her sexuality never ever gets vulgar and crude. Instead, there is an endearing quality to her attempts to shock and awe a staid society that thrives on the fake. Her tour de force act however doesn't throw the male leads into the shadows. They manage to hold their own in full measure, despite the relative meagerness of their roles. Also, it is the naughty dialogues (Rajat Arora) of the film which add immense flavour to the proceedings. It's a no-holds-barred screenplay which rightly refuses to treat sex as a four letter word. Kudos to Milan Luthria for handling such a controversial theme with such sensitivity and boldness. <br /> The Dirty Picture is definitely not only your film for the week, but is a seminal work that will be studied in feminist discourses.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/The-Dirty-Picture/movie-review/10942329.cms" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Dirty Picture</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 4/5</span></b></div>Above all, the enterprise belong to Vidya Balan.

In a world, where a majority of women obsess over a flat stomach above anything else, Vidya flaunts a protruding belly as though it didn't exist. Such commitment would impress anybody -- you, me. Tom Hanks?<br /> In terms of creativity, it's a middling effort. But where bravado is concerned, The Dirty Picture kicks ass by virtue of three very strong reasons: Vidya Balan. Vidya Balan. Vidya Balan.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-the-dirty-pictures-is-all-about-balan-and-bravado/20111202.htm" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Dirty Picture</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Raja Sen - Rediff - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Yes, there's much to nitpick about, especially that whimper of an ending and much, much squandered potential. But, with the exception of Kapoor, it's mostly well acted: Hashmi and Shah keep things interesting, Anju Mahendroo makes us wish the journalist had more to do, and Rajesh Pratap is always super. Also, the film does push the envelope, Luthria keeps the pace snappy except for the last half-hour, and like any schoolboy would attest, pretty much anything can be forgiven if the breasts look good enough. They do, and Vidya Balan ensures we notice that there's a heart of a heroine thumping energetically away right behind them. It's a performance to be grateful for.<br /> So thank you, Ms Balan. (If your dress weren't as low-cut, I'd ask you to take a bow.)</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-the-dirty-picture-is-vidya-balans-show-all-the-way/20111202.htm" target="_blank">Source</a> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Dirty Picture</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Super Good Movies - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 4/5 </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Plus Points: Performances, Dialogues, Music<br /> Minus Points: overdose of emotions in the second half<br /> Final Word: Truly said in the film, A film works for three reasons, entertainment, entertainment and entertainment and ‘The Dirty Picture’ has loads of it.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.supergoodmovies.com/33678/bollywood/the-dirty-picture-review-movie-review-details" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Dirty Picture</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dailybhaskar.com  - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">3 Ups and 3 Downs: Screenplay, direction, performances and above all, the dialogues are the strengths of the film.

She dances on a newly acquired Maruti 800 (it's the 80s, remember) to distract attention from a party she is not invited to. She kisses the brother to make the other one jealous. She eats sugar when is starving to keep herself going.<br /> She may not be earthy enough for critics who have lusted after the real Silk in their youth. But she is all woman, and she is all sensuousness in a performance that is brave, bold and completely natural.<br /> Balan is indeed a woman of our times, where public samaan dekhti hai, dukaan nahin. Silk is a character worthy of her.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/the-dirty-picture-movie-review/1/162477.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Dirty Picture </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Martin D'Souza - Glamsham - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 4.5/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">This film has a tightly bound script with just one loose sheaf.

You just see her grasp the character and make it larger than life. This is perhaps her best performance till date. Even Naseeruddin Shah gracefully blends into the background as the 'Hero' takes Centre stage.<br /> THE DIRTY PICTURE is in line for a flood of awards.

While he does balance it well for most part, and quite efficiently too, he could have done without resorting to convenient twists in the film towards the end. His isn’t really a biopic, surely not an authentic one, as he picks up the threads from different sources (Suryakant seems to be influenced by two-three superstars, for example) and uses it to his advantage (he never claimed to make an authentic telltale, so it’s okay). Sadly, though, he fails to make Silk’s downward spiral as engaging as her rise to fame.<br /> With a highly entertaining first half, and a mediocre second, The Dirty Picture falls short of being truly remarkable. But for that ‘boombaat’ of a performer, Vidya Balan (one star solely for her), and entertaining dialogue, the film is worth the ticket price.<br /> Watch The Dirty Picture for the gutsiest, most versatile actor we have today.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/entertainment/review_review-the-dirty-picture_1620091" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-8182407837966967992?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2011/12/dirty-picture-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-6362326366949991297Fri, 25 Nov 2011 04:31:00 +00002011-12-22T20:16:02.217+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewDesi Boyz Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XlelnQNAQz_wHoVFRrBIUch4mtM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XlelnQNAQz_wHoVFRrBIUch4mtM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XlelnQNAQz_wHoVFRrBIUch4mtM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XlelnQNAQz_wHoVFRrBIUch4mtM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7PzOKaaU_YA/Ts8XMMOBTaI/AAAAAAAAACY/gBaWXBCHrsg/s1600/desi+boys.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="162" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7PzOKaaU_YA/Ts8XMMOBTaI/AAAAAAAAACY/gBaWXBCHrsg/s200/desi+boys.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>AVERAGE RATINGS OF 7 REVIEWS - 3.5/5</b></span><br /> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Star Cast</span>: </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b>Akshay Kumar, JohnAmrahim, Deepika Padukone, Chitrangda Singh</b></span><br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Desi Boyz</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nikhat Kazmi - Times Of India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">It's the crackling chemistry between John Abraham and Akshay Kumar which makes Desi Boyz such a fun film.

Is it the Dhawan magic, or Rocco and Hunter's escapades or Radhika and Tanya (Chitrangada's) timely introductions into scenes? Even though you may call it the typical Bollywood flick, there is that 'X' factor which, I feel, will help it make safely through the first week.<br /> John and Akshay, after GARAM MASALA, team up again and both are good. Deepika is moving confidently from film to film and establishing her credentials as an actress to be reckoned with in the Top 5 category. Chitrangada manages to impress in her brief role while Sanju baba, walks in with attitude, and leaves receiving the maximum taalis.<br /> The mix is good and it's sure to create a buzz if not a furor at the Box-office. </div><a href="http://glamsham.com/movies/reviews/25-desi-boyz-movie-review-111105.asp" target="_blank">Source</a>  </div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-6362326366949991297?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2011/11/desi-boyz-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-6018975787983524047Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:59:00 +00002011-11-18T17:54:16.308+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewShakal Pe Mat Ja Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6sa0X-bOVV_TIipXMJTy2Xx5bV8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6sa0X-bOVV_TIipXMJTy2Xx5bV8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6sa0X-bOVV_TIipXMJTy2Xx5bV8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/6sa0X-bOVV_TIipXMJTy2Xx5bV8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOlX26blzNw/TsXk4ovb7YI/AAAAAAAAACQ/cSgG5zRZNnc/s1600/shakal+pe+mat+ja.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="163" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LOlX26blzNw/TsXk4ovb7YI/AAAAAAAAACQ/cSgG5zRZNnc/s200/shakal+pe+mat+ja.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>AVERAGE RATINGS OF 7 REVIEWS - 1.2/5</b></span><br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Shakal Pe Mat Ja </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nikhat Kazmi - Times Of India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Brave effort by a group of youngsters to make a film which has been co-produced by Hrishitaa Bhatt (actor) and directed by Shubh, the hero of the film. There is a sincere effort by these newbies to script and create a comedy of errors centred round the issue of terrorism and the paranoia it has created all over. But seriously, can't say how apt it is to fool around with such a sensitive topic and create parodies out of terror czars like Osama. Here, you have Omama ( Zakir Hussain) and his terror network, Al-Baqaeda, hellbent on creating mayhem in India and outdoing the antics of Osama. Of course, Omama and his jihadis are bumbling buffoons.

However, the execution fails big time. There is nothing that the director does to save this film. It is too loud, a khichadi of everything that has a little bit a predictable thrill, been there seen that comedy, a nagging girlfriend, spoof of Baba Ramdev, Al Queda, Osama, and more. There is no novelty in the film but it shows a little hope in parts. <br /> The stupid fart and porn jokes become deterrent in the flow of the story. The main issue is that it takes too long to come to the point and by then the audience has lost interest.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.supergoodmovies.com/32370/bollywood/shakal-pe-mat-ja-review-movie-review-details" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Shakal Pe Mat Ja </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dailybhaskar.com  - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">SPMJ rests on a very conventional storyline, which lacks lustre in the terms of a poor screenplay. The effort of making a political satire falls flat, as the filmmaker goes overboard while tackling the subject. In fact, some portions of the story have an uncanny resemblance with SRK starrer Baadshah and Ali Zafar’s Tere Bin Laden. Dialogues prove to be the saving grace of the movie but, become monotonous after a point of time, as the plot thickens.Some good performances, dialogues and experimental editing are the strong points. Loopholes in screenplay, a thin storyline and confusing direction are the weaknesses. <br /> On the whole, Shakal Pe Mat Ja doesn’t leave a mark at all and can be easily given a miss.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/ENT-movie-name-shakal-pe-mat-ja-2571651.html" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Shakal Pe Mat Ja </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Komal Nahta - Koimoi / ETC - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 0.5/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">What’s Good: Nothing at all.<br /> What’s Bad: Everything right from the story to the screenplay, the performances, the direction, the climax et al.<br /> Verdict: Shakal Pe Mat Ja is a resounding flop.<br /> Watch or Not?: Watch at your own risk.</div><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/shakal-pe-mat-ja-review/" target="_blank">Source</a> <br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Shakal Pe Mat Ja </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 1.5/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Shakal Pe Mat Ja is one of those whacked-out satires that sounds far funnier on paper than on screen.First-time director Shubh shows a flair for comic moments and like I pointed out earlier, a few sequences do make you smile/laugh.

Romance, under his creative vision, becomes a multi-layered, sensitively nuanced, monumental experience which has more to do with serenading your soulmate rather than a stereotypical marriage partner. With intelligent entertainers like Jab We Met, Love Aaj Kal and now Rockstar, he is evolving as a new age Yash Chopra. Love literally smoulders under his narrative, albeit in a completely modern idiom.<br /> The highpoint of Rockstar is it's high tension, high-on-passion romance between two unlikely people: the completely low brow JJ who doesn't like his girls nice and clean and Heer (Nargis Fakhri), the uptown Stephenian who is all set to get married and settle down to sweet domesticity like all sweet girls do.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Rockstar/moviereview/10677770.cms" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ROCKSTAR</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Aniruddha Guha - DNA India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 4/5</span></b></div>Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar is a bittersweet journey of a man, an artist, from being an everyman to a superstar.

And that he's accomplished this in merely four years and 9 films is no mean feat.  Therefore, even though, the above-mentioned prediction, coming in the astute words of Shammi Kapoor, is meant for the unruly, untamed genius of Janardhan Jakhar aka Jordan, it holds true for his grand nephew as well.

His storytelling is par excellence and is commendable. Another thing that’s worth mentioning is the way he makes his actors perform. The first half an hour is absolutely desi and will totally connect to the masses. The rest of the film, however is very international and good production values. Though, it does get a bit repetitive in the second half.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.supergoodmovies.com/31799/bollywood/rockstar-movie-review-movie-review-details" target="_blank">Source</a></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ROCKSTAR Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b> </div></div><div style="text-align: left;">Rock based movies are revered and admired in Hollywood, but Bollywood hasn't been too kind to this genre. Imtiaz Ali has always managed to strike the right balance between the hoi polloi and the gentry. Movies like JAB WE MET and LOVE AAJKAL are proof that the enormously talented raconteur won't attempt a film if he's not fully convinced about it. Known for his imaginative and inventive take on love stories, Imtiaz takes up yet another challenge with ROCKSTAR. The story of a rebellious singer/musician, it traces his journey of love, anguish, ego, trouble, sorrow and devastation. A difficult path to tread, no doubt, but Imtiaz could be a game changer, if the film strikes a chord. Alas! ROCKSTAR is a sumptuously shot movie that is disjointed on script level.On the whole, ROCKSTAR does not live up to the confidence and expectations from the otherwise very skilled and accomplished film-maker Imtiaz Ali. The film suffers immensely due to a disorderly screenplay, especially in its post-interval portions. However, the silver lining or the comforting prospect is the virtuoso performance by Ranbir Kapoor and the captivating score by A.R. Rahman, which justify that one extra star.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/12957/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.supergoodmovies.com/30590/bollywood/ra-one-movie-review-movie-review-details" target="_blank"></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ROCKSTAR</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dailybhaskar.com  - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">With a flawless first half, courtesy- an engaging narration which strikes a good balance between flashback and present, Rockstar starts on a very good note. From showcasing the Delhi college culture to the scenic beauty of Kashmir and some extremely fun-filled dialogues, the film surely rocks in first half, but falls flat on the face as second half begins. Transitions and inter-cuts lasting for almost 25 minutes make it a boring affair as the filmmaker seems to be beating around the bush with a strange stagnation in terms of storyline.Overall, Rockstar is a one-time watch and worth a treat for both the fans and non-fans of Ranbir Kapoor, as he does complete justice to his character.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/ENT-movie-review-rockstar-2555071.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ROCKSTAR</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kaveree Bamzai - India Today - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">There are moments of great beauty in the film. The heart-stopping duet between Shammi Kapoor and Ranbir; the Kun Faaya Kun song in the Nizamuddin dargah; the hilarious massage scene involving a leopard print underwear-clad music baron, Piyush Mishra; or even Ranbir dancing in a trance at a nightclub, transported into another world. But instead of taking the audience along on his journey of pain, the audience is increasingly frustrated. Too many things are left unexplained. How does Janardhan become such a symbol of rage -- does it really just take a single act of breaking in and entering a foreign country to make him the emblem of Free Tibet, angry Kashmiris and angry Khalistanis? Why does Heer not just run away with him?</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/rockstar-review/1/159451.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ROCKSTAR</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Martin D'Souza - Glamsham - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If an actor can have you riveted to your seat for the entire length of the movie and you see nothing else but just sheer brilliance in every twist in his character; that's 'paisa vasool, time respected, audience is baap' approach.<br /> Ranbir Kapoor is all that and much more as he metamorphoses from Janardhan Jhakar, a nerdy college student from Delhi, to Jordan, an iconic Rockstar. Everytime he is on screen, everything and everyone blurs into the background. It's Ranbir and only Ranbir you see. This guy is a genius. Period. As the nerdy college student, he brings in that freshness that is originally naive. He becomes the character. As a friend to Heer (debutante Nargis Fakhri), who plays the 'rich chick, hard-to-get diva', he is platonic to the core. As the Rockstar, guitar in hand, he resembles someone who has been born with the stringed instrument.If only Imtiaz had curtailed his obsession and let some scenes go, ROCKSTAR could have achieved cult status like ROCK ON.<br /> The ratings are strictly for Ranbir and A R Rahman's music.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.glamsham.com/movies/reviews/11-rockstar-movie-review-111106.asp" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ROCKSTAR</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Mansha Rastogi - Now Running - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">A large crowd queued up outside Verona Arena, Italy, one of the most renowned places of Italy, eager fans awaiting for the concert of Jordan to start, and amidst all this a dishevelled and unkempt looking rockstar breaks through the clout of cops after a fight into the arena showing complete disregard to his fans, storms onto the stage with a rage and croons to his hearts content.Over all, Rockstar may not be one of the finest attempts but is definitely worth a watch for its pleasing first half and the ace performance of Ranbir Kapoor.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/8134/bollywood.hindi/rockstar/3423/review.htm" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ROCKSTAR</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">One India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Rockstar, directed by Imtiaz Ali stars Nargis Fakhri and Ranbir Kapoor in the lead. The film begins well with very interesting fun filled moments. Rockstar is able to immediately connect with the audience as the scene shifts between the past and the present. <br /> However, the second half gets a little monotonous and the narration becomes a little weak. Another drawback in Rockstar is the 'realism' part. Many sequences in the film are hard to believe and one cannot help but opine that Imtiaz could have dealt with it more realistically. The scene between Ranbir and Shammi Kapoor is very nice to watch, apart from many other light moments. <br /> The background score by AR Rahman is extremely good and uplifts your mood.

Janardhan is a naïve Haryanvi college going buffoon. He is rustic with no confidence in his own talent, but cherishes the dream of becoming a rockstar. With a hairdo and clothes that resemble the fashion of the early 1970s, Janardhan, or JJ as he calls himself, is constantly trying to ape rockstar Jim Morrison and is constantly seeking a formula to become one.With some beautiful wide angle shots, the film captures scenic Kashmir, Prague and Delhi in a way that has not been seen in the recent past. The editing too is crisp but the last half hour is agonisingly similar to Shahid Kapoor's 'Mausam'. It just goes on and on.<br /> The dialogues are refreshingly rustic and funny. And Ranbir's performance is amazing, he lifts up the movie every which way. For him, 'Rockstar' is worth a watch.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.masala.com/34173-rockstar-movie-review" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">ROCKSTAR</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Filmics.com</span></span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"></span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">In short, “Rockstar” is the story of the young guy, who sheds off his identity of Janardan to become Jordan.

Inspired by the writings of Sufi poet Rumi, the film is layered and delivers the goods without getting boring.<b> </b></div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/rockstar-movie-review-ranbir-kapoor-excels-nargis-fakhri-is-promising/" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-503041593379746513?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2011/11/rockstar-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-7354988723477689061Wed, 26 Oct 2011 04:28:00 +00002011-10-26T09:58:05.019+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewRa One (Ra.1/Ra.One) Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/e4q8FhflsITII7AOh06X6DxJGVk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/e4q8FhflsITII7AOh06X6DxJGVk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/e4q8FhflsITII7AOh06X6DxJGVk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/e4q8FhflsITII7AOh06X6DxJGVk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1nTjigJjGzo/TpqtzZ6MgfI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Z-Ysr_Y4eXs/s1600/14208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1nTjigJjGzo/TpqtzZ6MgfI/AAAAAAAAAB0/Z-Ysr_Y4eXs/s1600/14208.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>AVERAGE RATINGS OF 9 REVIEWS - 3.3/5</b></span><br /> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Star Cast</span>: </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><b>Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor</b>, Arjun Rampal</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span><br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 4.5/5</span></b> </div></div><div style="text-align: left;">Movies like KRRISH and ROBOT initiated the trend of superhero films in India, with fantasy making deep inroads into mainstream Hindi cinema. Now RA.ONE raises the bar, takes not a step or two, but a giant leap and adheres to international standards, in terms of execution. But the soul, I wish to add, is very desi. That's precisely the reason why RA.ONE emerges trumps. RA.ONE is beauty [read good looking film] with brains.On the whole, RA.ONE is a solid entertainer, no two opinions on that. It's not merely a great looking film, but also has soul, which is so essential to strike a chord with the avid moviegoer. As for the business prospects, RA.ONE is sure to shatter all previous records and set new ones, in India as well as internationally. The film will be the new yardstick for measuring success. It has Blockbuster written all over it!</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14208/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Saibal Chatterjee - NDTV - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">As a vendetta saga, RA.One might be right up your alleyway. It delivers more than your money’s worth in terms of pure entertainment. It is impressively shot, technically good enough to pass muster and the hi-jinks drama has the pace to keep tedium at bay. <br /> What you see is passable, what you hear is enjoyable, but what you take away is insubstantial.<br /> RA.One is like a colourful Popsicle that looks tantalising, tickles the palate while it lasts, but leaves no particular after-taste. Sound and fury? Loads of it. Significance? Not much. <br /> Two and a half stars would have been in order – the extra half is for the sheer scale of the film’s ambition. So what if it falls short?</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_Review.aspx?id=666" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">SuperGoodMovies - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">It’s definitely a stupendous job as per Bollywood standards and hats ff to Shah Rukh and his film to pull it off. Some visual effects used are par excellence. Coming to the story, Indianness has been added and that was required to make it a mass entertainer. However, the first half is better and fast paced while the second half could have been better. All the kids are definitely going to have a time of their life watching Ra.One.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.supergoodmovies.com/30590/bollywood/ra-one-movie-review-movie-review-details" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dailybhaskar.com  - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Ra.One is surely crafted as a kids’ entertainer. Compared to Chitti, the emotional side of G-One takes a hit.  SRK’s fans who are missing him on silver screen after ‘My Name Is Khan’, can grab this opportunity to see their hero in a never-seen-before avatar. The movie is a joyful cinematic experience for game enthusiasts.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/ENT-movie-review-ra-2525286.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nikhat Kazmi - Times Of India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"> Rajnikant's Robot may have pre-dated it, but Ra-One does manage to hold despite the larger-than-life quality of Rajni's antics as Chitti. Here, Shah Rukh Khan does the train walk sideways and he does it rather well. And if that is not enough, the two desi sci fi heroes have a split second encounter on the streets of Mumbai, with Rajni saar showing off his flying googles act and SRK replicating it with elan. Twin Rascals! <br /> Ra-One works on several accounts. First because it has some interesting clashes betwen G-One, the good robot(Shah Rukh Khan) and Ra-One, the bad robot, who can take the form of anyone he wants. Secondly, the bond that G-One develops with the family he is supposed to protect, Kareena and her young son Prateik, is warm and winsome.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Ra-One/moviereview/10484952.cms" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kaveree Bamzai - India Today - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Pataka? Item? Tota? An actor throws around a few casual words that mean a beautiful girl, until he hits upon one that encompasses all of the above: chammak challo. Shah Rukh Khan's superhero-blue eyes light up, Kareena Kapoor's red sari glows, and they start to dance to Akon's song along with Russian dancers in Bharatnatyam-inspired mini-skirts. Yes, it's that sort of a movie, where everything happens all at once. <br />  Shah Rukh throws himself about, vaulting up and own buildings, leaping through the air and even landing on his feet with Kareena Kapoor in his arms. In the face of such indefatigable energy, we surrender. Go on, Shah Rukh, give it a rest. In the words of your superhero, you did good.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/ra-one-movie-review/1/157516.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Khalid Mohamed - Deccan Chronicle - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 4/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Virtual reality bites, and it tickles too. Woohoo, computer-generated G: One (Jeevan, get it?) is so goody-good that he would happily chomp a chewing gum made of wood.<br /> And his fi-fie-fo-fum adversary is the eponymous Ra:One (Raavan), a Frankenstein’s monster of sorts who’s as aluminium-plated as pans-`n’-pots. Daft and dotty?bsolutely, and that’s its strength. The Anubhav Sinha-directed Ra-One revels in being a zippy, zany, zowie ride. And the upbeat news is that the special effects fandango actually works, the closest yet to international standards: in particular a spectacular turvy-topsy car chase through London’s streets, thrilling acrobatic stunts on a Mumbai local train, the collapse of Mumbai’s CST terminal, and a gothic climax that’s dot-on with its micro-chips syntax. So if you’re in a feel-thrill mood, go right ahead and chillax.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/showbiz/movie-reviews/raone-quite-thrill-ride-996" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Lekha Menon - Masala.com - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2.5/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Nothing about 'RA.One' is ordinary or regular – be it the hype, the frenzy, the figures or the marketing campaign. For a film that has been mounted on such a mammoth scale, your level of expectations naturally are gargantuan. So it’s with the whole promotion overdrive playing in your head constantly that you set to watch the superhero film that promised us the moon and more.Finally, there’s Shah Rukh. Does he make for a great superhero? Yes and No. While he lacks the physicality of a Hrithik, he makes up for it with charisma. However, the typical Shah Rukhisms do creep in – flaring nostrils, hamming and stuttering. Maybe he can do a better job in the sequel.<br /> In the end, though 'RA.One' might not please hardcore action and superhero buffs, there is much to take from the film. Watch it this festive season and you won’t be disappointed. But keep those Hollywood DVDs tucked away safely!</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.masala.com/33877-raone-movie-review" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RA ONE</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Abhishek Mande - Rediff - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Ra.One seems to have been put together rather half-heartedly -- a song forced in here, a handful of laughable special appearances there (including an unforgivable one of Superstar Rajinikanth) and a little slapstick comedy and rona-dhona thrown in too.<br /> In the weeks before its release, Ra.One has been called many things. Among them, it has been labelled as Shah Rukh's most expensive midlife crisis. After watching the movie, it seems to me that perhaps, just perhaps there might be some truth to it after all.<br /> I am going with 2 out of 5 star ratings for Ra.One, a film that could have been great fun but didn't live up.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-raone-abhishek-mande/20111026.htm" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-7354988723477689061?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2011/10/ra-one-ra1raone-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-4407039327868578508Fri, 21 Oct 2011 07:08:00 +00002011-10-21T12:38:35.102+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewBe Careful Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Dqe4vwx7NKsZHiYugrdeyoimr4o/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Dqe4vwx7NKsZHiYugrdeyoimr4o/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Dqe4vwx7NKsZHiYugrdeyoimr4o/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Dqe4vwx7NKsZHiYugrdeyoimr4o/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--CjVSse73Pw/Tpqt0gfBOMI/AAAAAAAAAB8/_9PGYtmjH4M/s1600/14286.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--CjVSse73Pw/Tpqt0gfBOMI/AAAAAAAAAB8/_9PGYtmjH4M/s1600/14286.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>AVERAGE RATINGS OF 2 REVIEWS - 0.5/5</b></span><br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Be Careful Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Now Running - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 0.5/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Neither does Chadrakant fully establish the flamboyant nature of the actors, the reasons for them to cheat on their wives, the possessive nature of their wives or even their backgrounds. Moreover, right from the first scene itself viewers are reduced to fault findings as there are so many flaws in your faces. For example, the first introductory scene of Rajneesh Duggal itself has his dialogues completely out of sync. Then there are scenes where you can hear the echo in the dialogues capturing the ambience while the scene may have been shot. There definitely may not have any post production lab work done in this.<br /> The colour of the wig keeps changing within scenes, the length of the hair keeps going uneven from long to short or vice versa. Easily discoverable continuity flaws. <br /> A one line remark can sum up the entire film.

The show stopper is Saqib Saleem, who, in my opinion, is the find of the year [so far]. Brimming with energy and a complete delight in front of the camera, Saqib is instrumental in making this journey enjoyable. Nishant Dahiya has the looks and the persona and also does what's required from him. But this is not a role that will make people sit and notice his talent. His good looks will win him fans, for sure. Saba Azad is truly wonderful. A complete natural, she takes to the character like a fish takes to water. Tara D'Souza looks stunning and handles her part well. Prabal is first-rate. <br /> On the whole, MUJHSE FRAAANDSHIP KAROGE is engaging, funny, brimming with style and wit.

First of all, it is hard to believe that someone can be so naïve in today's times. Even if one were to believe that Pinto is indeed the 'innocent' one, the film is packed with ridiculous situations and characters that make you squirm in your seat. If the intention was to make you laugh, sorry, this film doesn't! Even the music, which has been a hallmark of Bhansali's movies, is plain mediocre this time. <br /> Prateik fails to deliver. He tries so hard to look the congenial but not worldly wise Pinto, but doesn't succeed. Kalki is an effortless actor, but she looks disinterested here. Arjun Mathur does well. Divya Dutta is passable. Makrand Deshpande is wasted. Amin and Karim are strictly okay. Raj Zutshi is effective. Shruti Seth is alright. <br /> On the whole, MY FRIEND PINTO is a terrible waste of a terrific opportunity!</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14226/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My Friend Pinto Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Raja Sen - Rediff - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 1/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">My Friend Pinto is a great opportunity for Prateik to showcase his skills both as an actor and a dancer. The young awkward boy from Jaane Tu [ Images ] Ya Jaane Na has metamorphosed into a fine and confident actor. An endearing smile which can win many over many pretty young things. Yet he doesn't look like a shy young lad who has never visited a big city. A miscast for this role.<br /> Paying homage to the all-time cult film Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron there is also a dead body being lugged around and which needs to be disposed off at the earliest. Doesn't form an integral part of the story, it appears as an add-on to a shoddy script.<br /> As the grand finale Ragaav Dar summarily commentates on the lessons embedded in the script. Doesn't say much for his story-telling abilities.<br /> See this only if you are a Prateik Babbar fan. Else avoid.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-my-friend-pinto-lacks-focus/20111014.htm" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My Friend Pinto Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Bollywood Life</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Cute, feel-good, funny…all these adjectives could be used to describe Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s latest production with UTV, titled My Friend Pinto.

He's back to the 'spicy' films he churned out with amazing regularity [and with great success] in the 1990s. RASCALS sees the original badshaah of non-stop laughathons revisit the genre, after a hiatus. Let me describe RASCALS in few words: funny, outrageous, hilarious, uproarious and most importantly, entertaining. In fact, the title as well as the promos of the film had prepared us well in advance about what to expect from this film.At the same time, RASCALS is definitely *not* for those who tilt towards realistic/pragmatic cinema or for enthusiasts of meaningful/significant cinema or those who disregard masala films. No, nope, naah... this one's austerely not for them!On the whole, RASCALS is a madcap, over the top, zany entertainer aimed at the masses. It's hilarious and outrageous from commencement to conclusion. If this kind of humor appeals to you, then there are chances that you will relish this one!</div><div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14342/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Rascals Review By :</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Bollywood World - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal">At some point in this pointless parody of all of David Dhawan’s Tom and Jerry comedies from the past, Devgn and Dutt, playing a pair of warring, snaping, snarling, sneering con-persons, call for each other. ‘Chetan?

If you just want to have a good time, RASCALS gives you that. And a few good laughs as well.The music by Vishal and Shekhar is peppy, while the dialogues are full on wit, and less on logic. What hits you hard on the positive side is the fact that even when there is no plan or plot, Dutt and Devgn don't feel the heat.

From all the special appearances, Boman Irani is hilarious and leaves more impact that Shah Rukh Khan who doesn't do much beyond playing himself and endorsing furniture brand. <br /> Director Sahil Singha doesn't show any innovation in the storytelling of his debut venture but he still has the command to bring a smile on your face, thanks to the breezy romance and the film's optimistic outlook.

What adds on to one’s misery is the fact that besides its run of the mill storyline, is the extremely stretched screenplay. The jazzy wedding sequences and absolutely dull conversations between the characters gives the flick its first blow. The predictable bits post the interval, further irritate with some completely illogical portions like one can’t move the car for hours together, as a dog is sitting in the middle of the road and he can’t be disturbed.  The climax is over dramatic and flashes the memories of uncountable romantic films seen in the past.</div><div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/ENT-review-love-breakups-zindagi-2481124.html" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Love Breakups Zindagi Review By :</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Love. Dates. Marriage. Commitments. Relationships. Do we ever ponder on what we leave behind, as we move ahead in life? Not many of us introspect. But LOVE BREAKUPS ZINDAGI, a slice of life film, makes you recall certain episodes of your life. Though the film isn't biographical, one does relate to certain episodes in the narrative for two reasons -- they seem straight out of life and of course, first-time writer-director Sahil Sangha makes an effort to tell it with utmost honesty and simplicity. But, unfortunately, he succeeds to a degree!On the whole, LOVE BREAKUPS ZINDAGI has moments that leave an impression, but they are few and far between. Besides, a weak second hour, excessive length and sluggish pacing makes it a tedious experience!</div><div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14107/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Love Breakups Zindagi Review By :</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Rediff - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Surprisingly Love Breakups Zindagi after a dull beginning picks up pace after the interval.

The opening shot where Ronak is introduced and his passion for music is revealed, says a lot about how brilliantly story is going to unfold further. His slow indulgence in the world of drugs, again, comes out finely, considering his strong inclination towards alcohol. The crisp screenplay doesn’t let your eyeballs move off the screen even for a second. The transition from the party to tragic mood and then, to some soothing light moments, with no loopholes, makes Soundtrack, one of the flawless films ever made.</div><div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/ENT-movie-review-soundtrack-2482751.html" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Soundtrack Review By  -</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Glamsham - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">It is the second part that balances out the tumultuous first. Both Soha and Rajeev share a chemistry that endears you to them. Modulating her voice and aiding it with her finger movements and facial expressions, Soha is first rate. I mean this is not a movie any heroine would do. It's only the bold who will experiment with such technically difficult roles. <br /> It's hard-hitting and creatively presented. But what could have worked in Neerav's favour is if the rest of the cast were within the confines of the parameters he had in mind for the film.<br /> It would be tough to get in the audience (read commercial success), but those creatively inclined should definitely watch this flick.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.glamsham.com/movies/reviews/06-soundtrack-movie-review-101103.asp" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Soundtrack Review By  -</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Now Running - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Rajeev Khandelwal is decent in parts but comes across as a misfit in this story in more cases than one.

Playing an emotionally unstable character is always taxing and an edgy journey for any actor, but Rajeev emerges triumphant with a bravura performance. Ditto for Soha, who delivers a sparkling performance. Soha is capable of delivering a powerful performance if given an opportunity and this film proves it. Though Mrinalini Sharma doesn't really get scope, yet, the pretty lass gives it all to her character and registers an impact. Another winning performance comes from Mohan Kapur, who is superb in a rather tough role. This film should make people sit and notice this talented actor. Yateen Karyekar does very well as well. Ankur Tewari and Sidd Coutto, the musicians, are wonderful in their respective roles. <br /> On the whole, SOUNDTRACK captivates you with a story that talks of the triumph of the human spirit. An inspiring film, a human story, a relatable and credible journey with an atypical, feel-good conclusion, SOUNDTRACK is not to be missed.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14382/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Soundtrack Review By  -</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Rediff - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">By and large, Soundtrack remains doggedly faithful to its source material and in such a scenario it becomes difficult to credit director Neerav Ghosh for everything. When directors usually remake a film that may have left a deep impression on them they bring in their personal touch and that's what distinguishes the remake from the original. Which brings us to a simple question: Had Soundtrack been as good if it wasn't adapted from It's All Gone Pete Tong? Another major setback for Soundtrack is that Raunak appears to be a minor speck in his contribution to music and that weakens the effect of a story which grandly projects him as a hero with handicap. Its impact would have been much stronger had the inspiration been Beethoven himself or other iconic figure in the musical history. <br /> If you overlook that fact, on its own, Soundtrack is a watchable film, with able support from its cast and if Ghosh is to be credited for anything, let it be said that he has an eye for his material and knows where to look.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-soundtrack-is-watchable/20111007.htm" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Soundtrack Review By  -</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Times Of India - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 3.5/5</span></b></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">The film is inspired by the English film It's All Gone Pete Tong which traced the intense highs and lows in the life of musician Frankie Wilde, a legend in the Ibiza club scene, as he battled his hearing disorder.

It has a funny first half, but a disappointing second hour.</div><div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14224/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">HUM TUM SHABANA Review By  -</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Komal Nahta - Koimoi - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 1/5</span></b></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal">What’s Good: A few comic scenes; sequences of one-upmanship between Tusshar and Shreyas.<br /> What’s Bad: The childish second half.<br /> Verdict: Hum Tum Shabana will find few takers.<br /> Loo break: Several in the post-interval portions.<br /> Watch or Not?: Watch it if you want to laugh at any cost!</div><div align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.koimoi.com/reviews/hum-tum-shabana-review/" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">HUM TUM SHABANA Review By -</span></b></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Raja Sen - Rediff - </span></b></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size: 24pt; line-height: 115%;">Ratings 0.5/5</span></b></span> </div>Just as a novice chef believes combining certain expensive ingredients will result in a flawless dish, Sagar Ballary works with a similar belief. There's a beauty contest, a funeral, kidnappings, diamond smuggling, and the obligatory songs shot in a '70s type of discotheque. And at the end of it, it can't even be called a half-baked dish. A mishmash is probably the most appropriate description. <br /> Sagar Ballary became a name with his first film Bheja Fry five years ago.

The next train? Love? Death? Or the next life? It’s a moment that defines ‘Mausam’, a film that has some serious flaws, but finally holds together as a work of renaissance art, more remarkable, in parts outstanding, for what it attempts rather than what it finally achieves.But you have to hand it to Pankaj Kapoor. In his directorial debut, he tells an old-fashioned story of love, separation and reunion with flourishes and flashes of great cinema igniting what would in lesser hands, appear to be a trite tale of love gone frightfully cliched. And yes, Pritam’s music is apt. But the best tunes ‘Abhi na jao chod kar’ and ‘Ajeeb dastaan hain yeh’, are not his.<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.inewsone.com/2011/09/22/shahid-kapoor-stands-tall-in-mausam-ians-movie-review-rating/78318" target="_blank">Source</a><br /> <div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">MAUSAM Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Nikhat Kazmi - Times Of India - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Mausam begins on a beautiful note. Loads of atmospherics, mood, sentiment and stunning visuals of a sleepy rural backdrop, captured in arresting mode by cinematographer Binod Pradhan make you sit back determined for an artistic tryst with cinema.

But instead of a slow burn, it's just plain exhaustion. In the age of instant email and easily transported cellphones, the lovers leave no forwarding addresses or contact numbers. They rely instead on the goodness of neighbours and the willingness of relatives. This is Pankaj Kapur's first film as director and clearly he's aiming for an old fashioned epic. He pours his heart and mind into it, tying it up in a neat little bow into a message for insaniyat in the time of brutality, but I wish his lovers had been more ardent. And more suited to each other. He's a peacock and she's a swan and the twain shall never mate.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/mausam-movie-review/1/152289.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">MAUSAM Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Saibal Chatterjee - NDTV - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 3/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Mausam isn’t obviously your average boy meets girl story. Boy indeed meets girl in this romantic tale, but they do not walk down the path that screen lovers usually take in Bollywood films. What Mausam articulates is a simple truth: in the uneasy times that we live in, is pure, unadulterated love possible? Can our hearts and minds rise above the destructive forces that surround us?The nearly three-hour-long Mausam takes eons to arrive at the conclusion of that thematic formulation, but the heartfelt humanist statement that it makes is shot through with honesty and simplicity. To conclude, Mausam could quite easily have ended up being a stodgy, strenuous and self-conscious drama. Writer-director Kapur, the accomplished actor that he is, orchestrates the emotional ups and downs of his tale with a commendable degree of moderation for the most part. Mausam is certainly worth a viewing.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_Review.aspx?id=653" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">MAUSAM Review By:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Super Good Movies - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Plus points</b>: <br /> - Performances<br /> - Technicalities<br /> <b>Minus points</b>: <br /> - Week Script<br /> <b>Verdit</b>: Can be watched for Shahid only.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.supergoodmovies.com/28153/bollywood/Mausam-Movie-Review-Movie-Review-Details" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">MAUSAM Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Kunal Guha - Yahoo - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 1.5/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Shahid and Sonam are both committed to their roles but their dialogues and lack of chemistry can easily make you hate this love story.

But then again, they wouldn't have met either.</div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://in.movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-reviews/mausam-review-213502222.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">MAUSAM Review By:</span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2/5</span></b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">It must have been a challenge of sorts for Shahid and Sonam to get the roles right. For, both sport not one, but varied looks in the film. Shahid gives his all to this role, submitting himself to his director-father to mould him the way he chooses to. It won't be erroneous to state that Shahid surpasses all his previous performances, including the one in KAMINEY, with this film. The film also marks the coming of age of this actor. For Sonam, MAUSAM will prove to be a turning point in her career. Astonishing -- that would be the right word to describe her work this time around. The confidence with which she handles the distinct characterization speaks volumes. Supriya Pathak Kapur is first-rate. Anupam Kher is wasted. Manoj Pahwa is wonderful, as always. The actors essaying the role of Sonam's father and sister are natural. Vaibhav Talwar gets no scope. Aditi Sharma excels in a brief role. On the whole, MAUSAM is a colossal disappointment! </div><div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14193/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-3187303987104760810?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2011/09/mausam-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-5750960007355585316Thu, 22 Sep 2011 05:55:00 +00002011-09-23T11:25:38.660+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewSpeedy Singhs (Breakaway) Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/MEE95HQhkT0Z9mh9paolZjKzuqA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/MEE95HQhkT0Z9mh9paolZjKzuqA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/MEE95HQhkT0Z9mh9paolZjKzuqA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/MEE95HQhkT0Z9mh9paolZjKzuqA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LZQGLPxC_tE/TnMWtFqypvI/AAAAAAAAAAs/BQJQ1wcvFLc/s1600/Speedy+Singhs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LZQGLPxC_tE/TnMWtFqypvI/AAAAAAAAAAs/BQJQ1wcvFLc/s1600/Speedy+Singhs.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>AVERAGE RATINGS OF 5 REVIEWS - 2.3/5</b></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></b><br /> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Star Cast</span>: </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Vinay Virmani, Akshay Kumar, Anupam Kher, Camilla Belle, Gurpreet Guggi, Russell Peters, Noureen Dewulf, Sakina Jaffrey, Rob Lowe</span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span></b><br /> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Speedy Singhs (Breakaway) Review By:</span></b><br /> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 1.5/5</span></b><br /> Cricket, Hockey, Football, Boxing... now Ice Hockey! Sport-centric films are gradually finding their way on the Hindi screen. BREAKAWAY aka SPEEDY SINGHS brings several knows names from U.S., Canada and India in this cross-cultural family drama with Ice Hockey as the backdrop.<br /> Like BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM much earlier and PATIALA HOUSE more recently, SPEEDY SINGHS also looks at the generation gap between the older generation [Anupam Kher, in this case], who hold tightly to traditional values and the younger generation [Vinay Virmani], who have already adapted themselves to the adopted country [Canada]. SPEEDY SINGHS has a plot you can connect with instantly, but the film suffers on varied counts. Akshay Kumar makes a cameo in the film -- in a sequence first and in the song during the end credits. <br /> On the whole, SPEEDY SINGHS fails to deliver. <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14385/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Speedy Singhs (Breakaway) Review By:</b></span><br /> <div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saibal Chatterjee - NDTV -</b></span><b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 2.5/5</span></b></div>The film comes perilously close to skidding off the edge time and again. If it doesn’t, it isn’t for any great merit in the script. It is just that the film’s ambitions are so limited that even when it hits the wall and collapses, it manages to pull itself up and return to the safety of its constricted sphere of operation. Speedy Singhs isn’t interested in going anywhere in particular.<br /> If you happen to be in the mood for charity, you could actually look at this entire concoction quite differently. Speedy Singhs derives its plot conventions from a multiplicity of genres. It’s a sports flick, a family drama, a Hollywood rom-com and a fluffy, feel-good Bollywood ride all rolled in one. Take your pick.<br /> Lead actor Vinay Virmani, likeable on the screen, turns in a competent performance, as do Kher and Lowe. American actress Camilla Belle, Canadian stand-up comedian Russell Peters and Indian-American actress Noureen DeWulf do their best within the limitations of the screenplay. But as with much else in Speedy Singhs, they end up being caricatures. <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_Review.aspx?id=652" target="_blank">Source</a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">Speedy Singhs (Breakaway) Review By:</span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Kunal Guha - Yahoo - </b></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Ratings 2/5</b></span><br /> Sports films have always subscribed to a recipe that guarantees success.

It's a cheerful film that makes you smile with its subtle humour, its repartee-filled screenplay, its deftness at handling the umpteen relationships and its finely-nuanced performances. A little more spice and edge to the delineation of the game itself would have made the film an action-packed adventure too. Nevertheless, Speedy Singhs, with a guest appearance by Akshay Kumar (as himself), is an entertaining watch.<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Speedy-Singhs/moviereview/10078530.cms" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1183767751805263373-5750960007355585316?l=reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>http://reviewsbollywood.blogspot.com/2011/09/speedy-singhs-breakaway-review.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Manish Garg)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1183767751805263373.post-3352962232982860668Fri, 16 Sep 2011 09:06:00 +00002011-09-16T19:20:49.092+05:30Bollywood Movies ReviewRivaaz Review <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s52x4wZuxoD-C3xyhkMeqzdFl-A/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s52x4wZuxoD-C3xyhkMeqzdFl-A/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s52x4wZuxoD-C3xyhkMeqzdFl-A/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/s52x4wZuxoD-C3xyhkMeqzdFl-A/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S1nm9MSoQrc/TnMQZoO2ZgI/AAAAAAAAAAU/bwgYbZ94byw/s1600/rivaaz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S1nm9MSoQrc/TnMQZoO2ZgI/AAAAAAAAAAU/bwgYbZ94byw/s1600/rivaaz.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>AVERAGE RATINGS OF 5 REVIEWS - 0.7/5</b></span><br /> <br /> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RIVAAZ Review By:</span></b><br /> <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama - </span></b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 1/5</span></b><br /> RIVAAZ tells the story of families indulging in prostitution. One such family consists of the father [Rajendra Gupta], mother [Deepti Naval] and daughter Bela [Ritisha Vijayvargiya]. Ritisha dares to fall in love with Rahul [Manoj Biddvai] and in the process, faces the wrath of not just her father, but also the entire village that practices/encourages prostitution.Despite starring fine actors, the film doesn't boast of bravura performances. The accomplished actors are, very frankly, wasted. Deepti Naval and Vijay Raaz specifically deserved a better deal. As for the young brigade, Manoj Biddvai and Ritisha Vijayvargiya, they fail to impress. Meghna Naidu [minus makeup] and Saadhika Randhawa are dull. <br /> <div>On the whole, RIVAAZ is a poor fare.<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/13621/index.html" target="_blank">Source</a></div></div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RIVAAZ</span></b><b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Review By:</span></b></b><br /> <div><b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Komal Nahta - Koimoi/ETC -</span> </b><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Ratings 0.5/5</span></b></b></div><b>What’s Good</b>: Hardly anything.<br /> <b>What’s Bad</b>: The poorly written screenplay; the boring drama; the pathetic direction; the average performances; and the forgettable music.<br /> <b>Verdict</b>: <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: arial,clean,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><i style="font-style: italic; font-weight: normal;">Rivaaz</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is a very poor fare.

One of the guys then starts clicking pictures randomly, looking amused, as if he has just spotted a rare species. This is the director establishing that the guys are shehri or city-bred.<br /> Oh, c'mon they didn't want to end the film crediting the media. So it drags on till the village is burned down. A word to the director Ashok Kumar Nanda. Sir, this is not a film. At least not a serious one. Not a satire either. Not even a stage-show. I'm not sure what it really is. Prostitution, even when it's the subject of a joke, doesn't make me laugh. And here, I guffawed. <br /> Final Word: Rivaaz is tragically funny.<br /> <div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/review-rivaaz-is-tragically-funny/20110916.htm" target="_blank">Source</a></div><div><div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">RIVAAZ</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> Review By:</span><br /> <span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Super Good Movies - </b></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Ratings 1/5</b></span><br /> <b>Plus Points</b>: Story, Good Names<br /> <b>Minus Points</b>: Performances, Direction, Technicalities<br /> <b>Analysis</b>: Couple of weeks back, ‘Khap’ released that too was based on age-old Indian traditions.

It's unbearable in its current state.
