Bollywood sUnDaY

Movies!!!!!!!!

I spent my entire Sunday watching movies… yeah I watched 4 movies: (In the same order as stated below)


And let me tell you they don’t make good scripts anymore! … For those of you who say ... “Oh! I knew that!! And by the way it’s your fault; you watched all the wrong movies!” … You may not be completely wrong :-)

Life partner:

The direction totally kills everything in the movie. Rumi Jaffery has absolutely no clue about what he is trying to convey… The weak storyline adds to his nightmare; …too many characters and unconvincing scenes, unwanted / unrelated song sequences break the link between the scenes in the movie. Whenever you think the movie is getting interesting, you’re left disappointed! The movie gets boring after regular intervals and the funny moments (although very few) are quite predictable.

Govinda as often is very impressive in his role. His dialogue delivery and timing is outstanding, however I think his recent decisions of doing films having weak stories like chal chala chal, money hai to honey hai and life partner are questionable.

Fardeen and Tusshar are ok ……Fardeen is better!

Prachi, Genelia and the rest are used as fillers!

Amrita Rao has a special appearance and that’s about her.

Moral of the story: Even if you’re a big Govinda Fan… the movie sucks!


Kaminey:

Honestly speaking I don’t see why so much hype is created about this movie! ...there is nothing in it other than Shahid Kapoor in a dramatic double role, corrupt politicians and policemen running after him and a complete flop gang war at the ending! Too many things are squeezed in the 1st half to set up the 2nd and that’s what tends to make the 1st half a bit confusing. The double role story goes the same old way where the weaker innocent twin is mistaken for his brother and ends up with all the beating.

However in spite of a very miserable script all the characters come up with terrific performances. Shahid’s stammering is amusing, Priyanka looks pretty, Amol gupte as bhope bhau is impressive as well :-). Vishal Bhardwaj has armed the movie with some bold and cool dialogues which I think does the trick for the movie.

All in all it’s an OK film… (For those who have yet not watched it)- if you’re have nothing to do like me, then watching kaminey is not a bad idea… but unlike me don’t look for too much, you’ll be disappointed

Moral of the story: It’s an overrated movie


Luck:

This movie is a complete disaster; disastrous script, disastrous music and disastrous performances from all the actors. If you have not watched the movie, luck is definitely on your side, unfortunately if you have, you’ll agree that there could not have been a bigger disaster you could waste your time and money watching!

The movie is about this manic gangster who hires lucky people, so that he makes a fortune.

The name of Sanjay Dutt’s character Musabhai is taken from his previous flop Plan… where he plays a gangster too. Mithun plays army man jabbar as he did in 1985’s gulami and repeats its famous dialogue “koi shak?” over and over again. Ravi kishan and the chak de girl Chitrashi are basically doing nothing in the movie. Shruti Haasan remains expressionless throughout, Imran and Danny have tried to act.

Rati Agnihotri has signed the movie and has 1 scene.

Oh holy lord! Why am I even discussing this movie!! Let’s get to the moral quickly!

Moral of the story: hmmmmmmmmmmmm……did I say it was a disaster?


Mujhse Shaadi Karogi:

Well I am sure most of you have watched it… I myself have watched it more than a couple of times now… it’s about how Salman manages to marry Priyanka in spite of having evil Akshay around! The movie falls in the same league as David Dhawan's earlier films. The focus is to entertain, not enlighten or educate. Logic takes a backseat and we have two-and-a-half hours of entertainment. Another very common script …nothing new about it, but Akshay Kumar and Salman have given one of their best comedy performances, I like AK’s evil role…I think he suits in it best. Prayinka has done a good job and looks gorgeous. Kader Khan and Amrish Puri have extremely hilarious roles…and Rajpal yadav steals the show with his killer double role performance as an astrologer and gangster. In an exaggerated climax Kapil Dev, Navjot Singh Sidhu and a few other cricketers have tried to say a few dialogues but all of them are equally bad! ..

Moral of the story: this was better than the other 3



Looking forward to watching:

  2. Do you know that Mujhse Shaadi Karogi is plagiarised from Anger Management and Meet The Parents...? Nevertheless, it still is a very good film. I'll go to the extent of saying that it is one of the best comedy films in India... (Andaz Apna Apna still remains the best!)

  3. What makes Kaminey a really good film is that technically it is an amazing film... You might not understand it, but then this comes from a student of film. (Yes, we're studying film in out Literature portion, nice right?) Vishal Bhardwaj has directed it with great aplomb. The script is tight too... So many references... And as you may have heard the reviewers saying that this film actually makes us think... I'll tell you, it really made me do that. You have to pay attention in this film, or you miss out... For instance that scene where both the brothers fight for the guitar in the storeroom... When Guddu comes out with the guitar, I saw the gangsters dead, And I was wondering as to who killed them... I realised only later, courtesy imdb, that it was explained in the film, and I had to pay attention... Plus the music is damn good too... And I'm not talking about just Dhan Te Nan here! And the cinematography! The way Bombay is shown, and the train scenes too! I mean, look at how smart the director was... Just because you can't stop people from entering the local train, that too an empty compartment, Bhardwaj scripted the scene in such a way that it comes out as if the gangsters halting them are police officials... I bet the commuters really didn't know that this film was being shot! And then, you already mentioned the acting!
