Tees Maar Khan: Who said that??

Directed by: Farah Khan
Release date: December, 2010

I am sure there is no one in this country who hasn’t heard about the Sheila ki jawani. From day one when the song was on chartbusters we started receiving SMS about this most sizzling song of the year. Song raised the expectations of the audiences and we are all set to again witness the great DRAMA of BOLLYWOOD (as Farah Khan is a master in doing so).  But once again the trailers did their job perfectly. They misguide the audiences!

About the Story – Tabrez Mirza Khan urf Tees Maar Khan (Akshay Kumar) is among the best thief in the country. It was showed in the country that there is not a single lock which he can’t open (though he only opens the door for cockpid in the beginning of the movie). His girl friend Katrina Kaif is a struggling actress. Johri Brothers (the vilan) hires Tees Maar Khan to rob a running train which is carrying some antiques of around 500 corers. TMS makes a plan to shoot a movie in any village near the railway tracks (from where the train will pass) and as a part of the shooting he will rob the train. For completing his task he hires Aatish Kapoor an Oscar-hungry film star (Akshaye Khanna) for the lead role.

Once you come out of the theater you will not remember a single scene on which you laugh loudly. After the release of movies like 3 idiots, Golmaal 3, Phas Gaye Obama etc we have a 3-5 mins shot in which we die laughing. Though I was not expecting the same in this movie but I was expecting the magic of Farah Khan. And trust me it was missing. She is a master when it comes to Drama and we have witness the same in Main hoon Na and Om Shanti Om. The story is very weak (or rather I should say there is NO story). Again, as I believe it’s becoming a trend Akshay is wasted in a meaningless role, Katrina has done superb job in Sheila ki jawani (nothing else to mention). The only surprise of the movie is Akshaye Khanna. In the role of an Oscar-hungry film star he is something we haven’t seen before. I don’t know how but he is hilarious.

Farah Khan is capable of creating a world of dreams though her hold on the dramatic side of the story. As per my opinion she is a perfect example of a typical Bollywood Director.  She can make you laugh, cry and even fall in love whenever she wants. But she has done a blunder this time and lands up in a no man’s land. The movie will not find his audiences. But this doesn’t mean she should go back to SRK for her all future films. She can do it without him as well.

On the Chorography part in the movie, “Sheila” is awesome and “walla re walla re” is energetic. However I felt that the creative side of her (in terms of Chorography) is again missing.  

Songs are good, background score is just OK types, nothing to be noticed in Cinematography, Editing is again as required. The only missing component was – COMEDY.

Suggestion: Do watch it for “Sheila ki jawani”, else save money for next Friday!!!!

The Last Samurai (movie): Loyalty through sword or a way of living?

Directed by: Edward Zwick
Release date: December, 2003

Service, Loyalty, duty, commitment, faith, trust and bravery …. I am short of words in order to describe what all I felt after watching the movie. It was explained in the movie that Samurai means – to serve. Samurai’s were the protectors of the KING. Their ancestors had been doing this for hundreds of years. The same emotion was everywhere in the movie. Every scene, dialogue and conversation in the movie is filled with these not so common emotions. Every word they said or the act they performed is filled with loyalty. It is a slow paced movie but I believe it’s required to make sure that audience understand the depth and the true meaning of the film. Every small aspect related to life, war and duty is explained in a very detailed manner.

About the Story – Tom Cruise is a well known personality in US due to his unbelievable victories in wars. He works for money and has good experience in fighting with tribes. He is hired by a Japanese man to fight with their enemy: THE SAMURAI - Katsumoto! Tom Cruise come down to Japan and trained the army with new equipments. They went to war; however the army was not ready for it. As a result Tom gets captured by the Samurai group and they bring him to their village. Tom was wounded, Katsumoto’s sister take care of him though she was aware that Tom killed her husband. Tom has to spend a whole year there so that he can recover from his present situation. While staying there he finds some special things which he had forgotten long back – discipline and honor. He decides to help them against their king but later he understands that the fight is not against the king, it’s against the corrupt system and bureaucrats around the king. In the final fight sequences all the Samurai’s die but Tom manages to survive. Tom returns to the Samurai village.



It’s very difficult for my generation to understand/believe that someone's  wish/command is more than enough for a person to give away his life. I remember this dialogue when Tom Cruise asks Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe): kaya raja aapko maarna nahi chahenge? Katsumoto replies: muhje maarne ke liye unko itna sab karne ki zaroorat nahi hai, unka aadesh hi kaafi hai. Since childhood they were trained to protect their king and obey his every command. They live and die with this very simple but hard to digest (for us) belief.

We are living in a world where personal interest is everything we can think of. There is no value of promises or commitments. People are ready to hurt anyone for small things. We are not ready to listen to our parents because we think we are a cool/new generation and they are old/narrow minded. We don’t think that going out somewhere late is bad. Lying is no crime. Breaking trust is in the fashion. Duty – what’s that? Honor – never heard of it. We run away from responsibility like it’s our birth right. We don’t feel shy or ashamed in doing anything which is in our interest. We can spread bad mouth about our country over corruption/growth but we never think of doing anything to change it.

When we see people dying for their country, for their fellow men, for duty ... we think they are nuts/stupid. We are not able to relate/understand this feeling because we never felt or even tried to feel the same. We do not want to come out of our comfort zone. I believe Edward tried to shake our world of dreams through this movie and has shown us the real meaning of being alive.

Edward Zwick (director) presented it in a very simple yet heart touching manner. You will not find the movie interesting if you are not in a mood to understand it. It’s not very entertaining for everyone but a masterpiece for some of us. But once you start watching/feeling it, you will fall in love with it. It will take you through a journey of the most special feeling (service, Loyalty, duty, commitment, faith, trust and bravery) which most of the movies are not capable of.

It’s a slow poison guys!!!!

Udaan (movie): Little wings to "FLY"

Directed by: Vikramaditya Motwane
Release date: July, 2010

After 8 hours of long journey, 3 large pegs of rum and around 2 am in the morning I watched UDAAN. What attracts me most is the theatrical poster of the movie. A 16-17 year boy sitting confused and all his emotions and fantasies are around him. Everything which a teenage can imagine or desire is written there and why not, it’s written by my all time favorite Anurag Kashyap. I was all set to begin the 2 hours journey of fulfilling dreams. It’s also going to be special because I also have a dream but unfortunately still fighting to achieve it.  

About the story – Fours friends were caught by their warden watching an adult movie in the theater which results to their termination from the school. Rohan came back to his home town Jamshedpur to live with his father. He came to know that he also have a younger brother 8 years old (as his father married again). Rohan wants to be a writer and willing to study Literature but his father forced him to study Engg in morning and work in his Steel factory in the evening. The rest of the film is about the clash of the mindset/ideology between the father and the son, elder brother and younger brother.

As the story was written by Anurag Kashyap, you will expect something mind blowing. We didn’t watch the movie with the mindset that it will be a normal entertainer. We were waiting for the hurricane to blow our minds. However, I believe either the story was normal or it was presented in a very normal manner. You will feel that same scenes were repeated couple of times in the movie. There are no events which will lead to something exciting. The best part of the movie is its ORIGINAL Screenplay. You will love it for sure. Simplicity at its best! May be that’s the reason you will not find the story appealing. But the Screenplay is the back bone of the movie. It’s a slow pace movie and most of movie revolves around 3 characters. The conversation between the father (Ronit Roy) and Rohan is tense (most of the times), however it’s interesting and innocent between Arjun and Rohan. The poems used by Rohan (I guess there are 3-4 in total) are also new and refreshing.

It’s a very simple film about a boy who wants to achieve his dreams. It does not offer any Indian masala to audiences. But still it’s a must watch for the whole family. For parents to understand that sometimes in order to think best for their children they stop thinking what is correct. For teenagers to understand that if you want to achieve what you want than there is no one who can stop you.

Do watch it with your parents or younger brother/sisters.

Action Replayy (movie): A film without homework!

Directed by: Vipul Shah
Release date: November, 2010

After a long time the trailer was able to convey the right expectations of the movie. When the trailer came to charts the first impression about the movie was not promising and that’s TRUE. Most of the times the trailer looks very promising but in actual the movie is not a good one. But in case of Action Replyy the trailer was able to convey the right “picture” of the picture. Movie will disappoint you!

About the Story – Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai are married to each other for past 35 years. For such a long time what all they have done is fight, blaming each other and more fighting. Their only son Bunty believes that marriage was the biggest mistake done by their parents, due to which when his girlfriend ask him to get married he always run away from the scene. Bunty travels back to time so that he can change the arrange marriage of their parents to a love marriage, so that they will love each other and he will be able to marry his girlfriend. (Sorry to say but illogical thought)

The movie doesn’t look like its set up in late 70’s. Though the director tried a lot on clothes, locations, dialogues, so that it should give a retro look. However, the effort was not enough. In several shots including songs, you will feel the dress is of present time and if someone will not tell you, you won’t realize its set in 1970’s. Some of the special affects (like the first shot when Bunty came to 1975 and stands in front of VT station) are also not up to the mark. Story does not have much to offer. Actually there is no story. Just couple of events happenings now and then and director tries to make them humorous. It’s only Akshay, who will be able to make you laugh in 2 or 3 instances. That’s it, nothing else to cheer or talk about the movie. Songs are also not memorable (Jor ka jatka is an exception here).

Wait for the original DVD to be released or its premier on Indian television and provided that you don’t have anything else to do on that day than you can take the risk to watch it.

Aakrosh (movie) : Are you ready to pay the cost for "LOVE"?

Directed by: Priyadarshan
Release date: October, 2010 

When the trailers of Aakrosh came on charts it says – from the directors of Gardish and Virasat. The intensions were clear; don’t expect another Hera Pheri or De Dana Dan. This time Priyadarshan along with Kumar Mangat Pathak is going to hit the screen with a very serious issue of honor killing. The same was reflected in the very first trailer in which Ajay Devgan (in back ground voice) says – kya hum sach me azaad hue thee.

About the Story – Three college students went missing when they visited a village in Bihar. Its 2 months and government is not able to find them. In Delhi, media and college students asked for a CBI enquiry and a team comprises of Ajay Devgan and Akshaye Khanna is sent to Jhanjhar village to solve the case. After reaching there they realise that it’s not a routine work this time. No one from the villagers or the local police is helping them or talking to them about this. After that, a series of incidents happened in which several people were killed brutally, whole village is burnt, some people were hanged on the trees, some were killed in accidents etc. In the second half, CBI came to know that it’s not a murder case rather it’s on honor killing. In which people of higher cast kill the girl and the boy (who are in love) because they bring dishonor to the family or their community. In the end with the help of Bipasha Basu, they solved the case.

No doubt the subject was strong and for most of the audience who lives in metro, this needs to be addressed. Couples living in metros (who goes to McDonalds, Pizza hut, Cineplex, Disc and outings) should know what happen, when someone living in a small village dares to love. They are not just killed but murdered in such a manner that it will become a lesson for others. Not only the couple but their families also burnt or murdered. Couple of scenes like – the long chase scene, in which Ajay chase a guy on the roof and another one in which Ajay and Akshaye went to arrest roshini for the first time are worth watching. Not to forgot the scene in which Paresh Rawal beats Bipasha brutally by his belt behind the closed doors and in the end when Ajay took revenge and beat Paresh behind the door are delight to watch. The intensity of these scenes is so strong that though you are not able to see it but still from the screaming of the actors and background score you can feel it in your blood. That’s the magic Priyadarshan is able to create. I had a very strong expectation from the movie. The movie is GOOD, but not as I expected. The kind of experience Priyadarshan (director) and Kumar Mangat Pathak (producer) have, I have expecting the unexpected.

Ajay Devgan is perfect in such roles. Though I feel that director didn’t give him much space. Whenever we think that he is going to say a dialogue on which we will die clapping OR he will take the front seat and beat the other guy, Akshaye drew him from there.

Overall, we should watch it at least once. Just to know that life is not as easy as it seems in metros. Especially love is still a very sensitive matter in villages and if you dare to love someone outside your caste – be ready to pay the cost!!!!

It’s not that much brutal that girls or family members can’t watch it. So, you can plan it with anyone you want.

Driven: Let the “GAMING SPIRIT” win!!!!

Directed by: Renny Harlin
Release date: April 27, 2001

The interesting part of the movie (I believe) is starring Sylvester Stallone as a Formula 1 driver. I haven’t seen a single movie in which he didn’t hit a punch to the villain. But as they say – there is always a first time in everything (it’s for me this time). Watching Sylvester in a balanced manner is like watching Nana Patekar in the movie – Ab tak Chappan. I was waiting to watch a fight sequence by Sylvester but that wait never ended.

About the Story – Sylvester (who is a well known personality in racing) comes back to the racing track on the request of his old friend to mentor a NEW driver of his team. As expected, because of our HERO’s mentoring the new driver starts winning the race. The opponent driver (we can take him as the villain component) is also very near in winning the World Championship. Sylvester job is to make sure that our NEW driver should win the championship in any given condition. NO SURPRISE – Sylvester completes what ever task is given to him (he himself is enough for the whole Army, what’s big in winning a Formula 1 race).

Though my wait for a mind blowing fight scene never ended but still I had seen something which changes my perspective to watch movies.   

Ø  It’s not a rule that HERO should win all the races and when he comes back from the exile he will (for sure) hit the bull’s eye. When no one else can do it, wake up the hero from his dreams and he will do it for you like he is playing a video game. This is not the case here – Sylvester comes back with the bang (must watch – the scene where he drops 3 pennies on the race track and drift over them), However he didn’t win any race and he makes sure that the NEW driver wins. He is there for support not for winning.

Ø  It’s also not the case that the villains are always born with the cruel intensions. In the movie when another supportive driver met with an clash – Our NEW driver and the villain, both stop the race in between and saves the crashed driver’s life. Its not personal guys – It’s professional. They are opposite to each other due to their game. The movie gives a very clear message – It’s the Gaming spirit which makes your good or bad, looser or winner.

I liked both these facts very much. We have a tendency to watch the villain’s role with a bitter eye. We always think that if he is going something good there must be a conspiracy behind it. The movie says that it’s not able the positive or negative role – It’s about the GAME.

The movie does not have superb special affects or it has a very interesting stories. Everything is just ok types. Racing scenes are also just presentable, but nothing to cheer about. The most important thing is the message given by the movie - Let the “GAMING SPIRIT” win!!!!

Hellboy (movie): “Man” in RED!!!

Directed by: Guillermo del Toro
Release date: April 2, 2004

Hellboy, the name suggests that the movie is related to hell or some underworld (if it’s actually there); some people may also refer it to a horror movie. But this is not the case; the movie is about our world. The world, where if you want to live, you may need to kill someone, the world where people judge you by your looks and not by your decisions, where people will forget all your goods but can’t ignore a simple mistake made by you.

The movie is ugly, in fact the HERO is ugly, his skin color is RED, he has a long tail and moreover he never does what he is asked to do. He blow things in air, when are need to deal nicely. Moreover he likes cats, cigars, dirty rooms and disobeys orders etc. He also believes that he can not die. He knows that he is the son of Evil and he was born to destroy this world. But his up bringing was done by the Professor "Broom" and he made him a “HUMAN”. He always guides him that though he was born to kill but he can be a good protector (It’s a choice which he needs to make).

As he is the “hero”, he always makes the correct choice, which seems to be difficult but always works. He saves our world every time at the end moment when he only was about to destroy it. His attitude while fighting with other deadly creatures (I mentioned other deadly creatures because Hellboy himself is one) is awesome. Its like he is playing video games and he knows he is going to win in the end. No hiding, no plans. He kills the creature in a style and relax manner. TRUST ME – you will like it. As the movie progress you will start liking this hero. He is different – in style, looks, action, decisions, comic behavior etc and all these things make him lovable. If this is not enough for you – our hero has girl friend as well and when he is not saving this world he is spying on his girlfriend.

The pace of the movie is good, there are so many events happening now and than. Screenplay is again awesome. The makeup of Hellboy is “ugly” but director makes sure that audience like it. As the movie was based on a comic book, the director has all the liberty for imagination and he uses this freedom in a balanced manner.

It’s a GUY thing!!!

The A- Team: Old team with the BANG!!!!

Directed by: Joe Carnahan
Release date: June, 2010

Watched The A team (movie) today and I must say that I recall the days of Arnold and Stallone. I guess we all remember those days of manly action movies with bang. No high tech stuff but still you cannot remove your eyes from the screen. Where the hero alone is equal to an army and his plan always works.
Movie started in a stylish manner of all times. Main lead is caught by the bad guys (in this case its Mexican corrupt police), they beat him to death but he didn’t utter a word. Once they left him for dying he fights back. Their own people ditch them and after giving everything to the system, that same system sends them to prison. As expected they find a way out from the prison and start searching the guy how set them up. Its include agencies like CIA, NSA and their own army people as well. But you don’t worry this A-team will find their way out as there is no plan –B.
The A-team is of 4 members. One is planner, another is muscle man, one is mad and the last one is a lover boy. Each of them is master in whatever they do. They blow thing in air, they fly the helicopter like a fighter plane and a huge army carrier plane like a helicopter. When they are bored of doing all these daily work they fly a TANK. Yes, you read it correctly – they fly a tank in the movie. I don’t know whose concept it was, but trust me it is worth watching. The enthusiasm created by the actors (by the close up shots, dialogues and the energy level) in this particular scene is a delight to watch.
As I mentioned earlier, it’s a movie shot in a style in which action movies of 80’s and 90’s used to be shot. You will find huge bomb blasts, cars flying in air after a hit, big punch and mind blowing dialogues before every fight scene. Before every plan (while discussing the course of action) everyone is always in such a light mood that they are planning to watch a movie with other guys. You will not find this attitude irritating because the actors did a perfect job in meeting the characters requirements. Instead you will love them for their attitude.
Story line is OK, enough for an action movie of such canvas. Cinematography is usual (nothing to be noticed) in regular shots but when supported by the special affects in fight scenes is more presentable. I think the director didn’t want such integrands when he is playing his game on the hardcore action scenes and moreover that too in old style.
Do watch it on a free weekend with your old friends.

Clash of the Titans : Not a single clash to cheer !!!

Yesterday I watched Clash of the Titans and after that I was not able to recall a single fight scene which I enjoyed to the maximum. After watching movies like - 300, Troy and Gladiator, we have very high expectations with any historical epic. 300 raised our expectations even higher due to the dept and intensity in the dialogues. We consider historical movies to be filled with mind blowing fight sequences, old monuments and a Stone Age feeling. But 300 add another aspect to it – DIALOGUES and slow motion fight sequences.
When the movie started I didn’t expect it to be 300 but I was expecting something what we call eye opening. It starts normally (nothing stunning to offer) and same continue in the whole movie. Most of the facts look illogical. We can not relate to them in any given conditions. The editing part was also not approachable. Fight between GOD and MAN is seems to be un-realistic, unless it is presented in an appropriate manner with evidence and examples to which audience can relate. Moreover in the whole movie GOD seems to be most afraid among all others and seeks help from anyone who offers (very hard to digest). The fight sequence between the ruler of HELL and Perseus (main lead) is the most disappointing. In the whole movie everyone is talking about the Kraken (a very giant creature of underworld). Everyone believes that on one can defeat him. We are waiting for that creature to arrive on the screen. Surprisingly, our hero kills him in couple of seconds without even a single punchJ.      
 

I don’t have much to write, as the movie doesn’t have much to offer!!!

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai : Where was mumbai in it

I believe we all have some expectations before watching a movie. When it meets it - we say it’s GOOD... else bakwaas... My point is when we went to watch OUATIM what were our expectations. Frankly -- I didn’t have much (as it was directed by Milan Luthria). 

But my expectation was that I will re-live the era smuggling / music / cabre / close fight scene / heavy dialogue  / main zabaan de chukka hu / maa – bhai etc. Some others things which I expected – a different look of Mumbai, camera which just shows face of the actor saying the dialogue, long scenes (no hyper editing stuff), a unique music while all fight scenes (though one tune was there and it was quite good), a very close to heart & strong drama.

I only find few things which I liked (as mentioned not much expectations).

Ajay is all time favorite and he proved me correct again (don’t try to compare his performance from Company). The role he played needs a HERO and he is the one. His favorite line - dua me yaad rakhna and Patrick muhje shahar saaf chahiye are awesome. When he says them you can feel it in your blood. That ajay …. He will make you jump from your seat just from his eyes and if he said it you are not on earth. Other good thing about the movie was Kangana Ranaut … she is looking beautiful. I am sure they need some one like her to relate with Madhubala (though I know you can not compare madhu with any of the present actress).

My opinion – don’t have much expectations from the movie. Its just one time watch and if you missed it don’t worry J

Peepli [Live] Movie: It’s not a BREAKING NEWS

I am not writing a story review (you will not find the movie story here); I will only share my feeling after watching the movie.

It’s an Aamir Khan’s production on a very sensitive subject of present INDIA. Moreover from the trailers we are aware that it is presented in a different style (humor). Before the movie was released everyone around me was talking about it and the same continues after it’s released as well.

I don’t know why but I feel that the Aamir’s magic was missing in this one. The movie was ok types (one time watch) and there was nothing which you can relate to perfection. When we know that Sachin is batting, we will not compromise on 25 or 40 runs… we need a century. That’s the magic Aamir is capable of.

When the movie started – for the next 15 mins only the abusing language used by the characters were able to make you laugh. You will not find more than 2-3 instances where you laughed on the act done by the actors. Was abusing language the only option left with Anusha to make people laugh? Though the expectation from the movie was that the situation and the acts performed will make people laugh (not the abusing language). We understand that director shows the real picture of the daily life of villagers and hence such language was a crucial part of the movie. We also understand that people in small villages use their language to entertain people around them. But we are not dealing with the villager only. We are dealing with the people who are known as perfectionist. Is that all they have to offer to us.

Not even once in the movie I felt sad for Natha or I was not forced to think that what I am watching is actually happening in my Shinning India. We are symbolizing our currency and claiming our position in between the worlds most developed nations and farmers are committing suicide due to hunger / heavy loans etc.

Neither I laughed nor cried. I was not able to find out what is happening. The media section which was shown was also not new to anyone in the picture hall. We knew this is what Media do and watch everyday. The remaining was done by couple of movies released in past on the same subject. The only out of the box act done by the media team was the last one when the one journalist took a close up shot of the stool of Naatha and says – “manuchikasak kaa manna hai ki aap kisi ke mal ka rang dekh kar uski mansik istithi ka andaja laga sakta hai” I don’t know what was that but I was shocked after hearing it.

If Aamir khan was not associated with the movie, I am afraid people will not show much interest in it. Many people just went to the theater to watch it because Aamir is there.

NOTE: I am not making any comment on the technical side (like – direction/cinematography/editing etc).

Dabangg (movie review): It’s Fearless SALMAN

Everyone was waiting for this movie to hit theaters. Not only the Salman’s fan club but people of every age group were aware that something electrifying is going to release this Friday. From the day one, when the first trailer came out, it was clear that Salman is going to set the 70 mm screen on fire this time. Believe me he actually did.

It’s a total masala picture with every integrants required. Fight scenes, songs, dance, dialogues, comedy and Romance everything is present at a right proportion. I will try my best to describe them in sequence. Before that let’s have the story –

 Salman is a corrupt but fearless (Dabangg) police officer in lalgunj district of UP. He does not have a very good relationship with his step father (Vinod Khana) and half brother (Arbaaz Khan). He does not arrest criminals/thieves but beat them and took their money. He is not the one who is cleaning the society and protecting people. He only wants his needs to be fulfilled. One day he finds a girl, who brings romance in his life and he marries to her. Local youth leader Cheddi Singh (Sonu Sood) is after his life as Salman is the only police officer who is beating his men and takes away money from them. In the end Salman manages everything and we have a happy ending.

That’s on the story side; let’s have some light on the dramatic and awesome performance by Salman.

Fight Scenes – I will not say they are superb but yes they are presentable. You will enjoy seeing Salman breaking bones and he will keep doing it through out the movie. Introduction scene (inspired by Transporter movie) and the climax is the high light of the movie (it’s a surprise package for the audience). Moreover the climax scene where the screen turns red and salman hits Sonu Sood is awesome. The fight sequence on the railway station is also worth watching. The best part in the fight scene is the Jalwa (song) caller tune from one of the vilan’s phone (do notice it).

Songs – There are 4 songs in the movie and all are delight to ears. Need not to mention that Munni and Tere mast mast do naine are top on the charts.

Dance – I am searching those choreographers who once said that Salman is the worst dancer in the Industry. We watched him in “Wanted” and in Dabangg he breaks his own records. Watch him dancing in Munni and humka peeni hai and you will forget everyone. He is mind blowing in these two songs. Heads off to this dancer!!

Dialogues – Other strong point of the movie. Kamini se yaad aaya pandey ji aap ki biwi ab kaisi hai..

This will be repeated (with different situations) at least 4 times in the movie and all of them are awesome. You will be out of your seat after hearing them, Superb job done. The bonus is – Hum tum me itne cheid karenge ke ……

Comedy and Romance – Salman again proved that his timing in comedy is worth watching. He is looking cute and loveable while romancing with Rajo (Sonakshi).

Do not expect a meaning full cinema. Movie dose not have any thing new or unique to offer. But YES, it offers a true hero to the silver screen again – SALMAN KHAN.

Over all it’s a paisa vasool picture. Plan it with your friends or family. Try to watch it in group. It will multiply your entertainment. Leave everything this Friday and MUST WATCH IT!!!!

SALT (movie): One woman army !!!

SALT (movie): One woman army !!!

I just want to share my feeling after watching the movie SALT.

When the movie started its looks promising and the director (Phillip Noyce) keep that promise for next 30 minutes. YES, I said 30 minutes because after that you will realize that you are not in the theater just to watch Angelina Jolie. You are here to watch a movie which is supposed to be one among the most promising movie of the year. Also after watching movies like SPY GAME and THE BOURNE Series, you have more expectations from any other film made on such subjects. 

 For the first 30 minutes which includes the interview scene with the Russian man, after that the escape from the CIA office than, the chase on the road are Awesome. The best part is that the movie does not loose the story and move on a straight line. The escape and chase scene is for 20 minutes and they are worth watching. You will feel the tension and intensity. It’s not like most of the movie - once you escape from somewhere and you catch a BUS/TRAIN and than land up to a hotel and starts your investigation/search to find that person who set you up. (Though Angelina does it, but after the long chase).   

The action scenes which were performed by Angelina are delight to a fan. I must salute her for doing all these stunts in this age. If you just want to see Angelina than you must watch it.

The concept to train children in Russia and than move them to America and than make sure that they join some government job (with higher ranks) and than strike when asked, is really surprising. You will study, live, marry, work do everything in America and than one day asked to destroy it. But the bitterness in YOU is so strong that you will do it. Because you were sent here so many years ago so that you can strike when asked. You need to be in government jobs so that the impact will be worst. It will question any nations policy to have official in there team which are from other countries. 

Some scenes which will disappoint are – whatever things a spy needs to escape from a place are easily available at that place. Like ONE - when Angelina comes out to the road she finds a HAT seller there and she covers her head so that she can’t be indentified easily. TWO – when she enters the hotel she steal clothes from a laundry girl. THIRD – the climax scene where the room is made up of bulletproof glass and you can’t break it with your pistol and machine gun. But you can dig the wall of that room from the bullets (surprisingly NSA don’t make walls with steel rods and concrete). 

The only constructive scene I find is the escape scene where though she finds all the material to make a rocket launcher from the fire extinguisher. But at least in this scene she collected things and make something of it. But again how easily she came out from the CIA office is again surprising. 

At last I just want to say its good to see Angelina back in action and she again proved that she can still kill with her looks.
