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!!!!
Thanks Mayank.. So true it was a blunder and a great amount of time wasted. I liked all the songs and rest of the time was a headache. I regret i decided to watch this in theater, and above all in my recent watches phas gaye re obama is the best comedy, story, direction and dialogues heard in years.
ReplyDeleteMore or less, my views are very similar to you.It shows that how the unavailability of one man creates a difference. The magic created by Shahrukh Khan in previous two movies of Farah Khan is totally missing. The talents of many like Raghu-Rajiv Duo, Ali Asgar, Arya Babbar are also wasted. Moreover, Apra Mehta came nowhere close to Kirron Kher, who is the awesome mother of Farah Khan movies. The role of Akshaye Khanna and his associate Sudhir Pandey is only worth watching in the movie.
