ROY - Hindi movie review

Rating: ***





The subject is abstract and more so is the story telling of ROY.

This film is not for the masses, its for the pseudo-intellectuals, to be precise.

Debutant director Vikramjit Singh who is also the writer of this romantic thriller is innovative in his presentation of life and times of a successful yet quirky filmmaker.

A different approach in showing on screen, the moods, senses, sensitive moments and the dreams of a director while he is working on the story simultaneously directing the film.

We get a visual treat of colours, the locales, the actual depiction of thought process of a filmmaker, most often dubbed as arrogant and abnormal.

About the story, ROY is the creative portrayal of the sketch of a filmmaker who works on his own terms.

Bang Bang Hindi Movie Review

Rating: ***

Hrithik and Katrina star in this action movie, a remake of the Hollywood film – Knight and Day (Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz), directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Fox Star Studios.

Supposedly touted as the most expensive Bollywood film, it is high octane action drama mounted on huge canvas, superb action scenes, hot chemistry between the lead pair and yet it lacks soul. There is virtually no storyline and those family scenes depict no connect between the protagonist and his parents, rather they slow down the pace.

It begins with action sequence in London where a dreaded terrorist Omar Zafar (Danny Denzongpa) escapes through his aides, right in presence of an Indian army officer Viren Nanda (Jimmy Shergill). Omar Zafar ruthlessly murders the Indian soldier.

Omar Zafar is informed by his abettor Hamid Gul (Jaaved Jaffrey) that the British government is on the verge of signing a Special Extradition treaty with India. The dreaded terrorist comes up with a plan to derange the talks with the offer of announcing a prize of 5 million Dollars to whoever (should be an Indian only) steals the Kohinoor Diamond from the Brits.

Entertainment – Hindi movie review

Bollywood hits a low, clings on to man's best friend to fool around!

Rating: **

Junior, the endearing dog is the highlight of this comedy drama, which practically fails to tickle the viewer.

The hair brained of a story is very the name of this simple film with our hero Akhil Lokhande (Akshay Kumar) a jack of all working overtime in many jobs to pay for his father’s hospital bill who he soon realizes is not unwell and is also not his father.

His father is a multi-millionaire Mr. Johri from Thailand (Dalip tahil in an innocuous role). In the meantime Akhil is in love with a serialwalli (Tammannah Bhatia) (wasted) and promises her father (Mithun Charavarti – abhorring) he will become a millionaire and only then take the hand of his daughter.

Thus to lay his claim on his father’s fortune he fast flies to Thailand only to find that the lonely father who has just kicked the bucket has left all that he had i.e. Rupees 3000 Crores in the name of his beloved pet dog “Entertainment” thus begins the cat and mouse game between Akhil and Entertainment with Akhil out to kill the dog and the dog being a step ahead in smartness always outdoing him.

Chal Bhaag – Hindi Movie Review

Rating: ***

A wannabe new age quickie about Delhi underbelly with all the ingredients, like larger than life Dons, corrupt to the core Police Personnel (it seems the department has become a favorite whipping boy of one and all including any Tom Dick and Harry).

The movie begins with the murder of an ex-MLA, then the director goes on to establish the three protagonists - Munna Supari (Deepak Dobriyal) is a road-side tapori (smarty), a petty thief Bunty (Tarun Bajaj) and the third Guy Daler Singh (Varun Mehra), an outcast, is a bit of a mystery to himself, shown as a hungry tiger.

The Delhi Police is under pressure, as per their reports the MLA was murdered by three shooters. The incident coincides with the arresting of Munna, Bunty and Daler for their small time crimes.

Holiday – Hindi film review

A Soldier Is Never Off Duty

Rating: ***

Holiday begins with a weak introduction where a family is waiting at the station for the hero to return home from his posting at the front. A train load of soldiers arrives and out hops Captain Virat Bakshi (Akshay Kumar), an army man who is back home to Mumbai for his holidays. 

The heroine part in the story is out of place, a caricature of a Mumbai Police Sub Inspector has become a norm of the day, all this to project that the hero was larger than life.

Holiday has a hackneyed humour. In fact it comes out intentionally in the climax when the terrorist exulting the mastermind to just finish the game.

Akshay Kumar does his part well. It is difficult to find out flaws in his performance. Sonakshi Sinha isn’t given much to perform. Aackruti Nagpal makes her impressive comeback as Sonakshi Sinha’s sister. Debutant Freddy Daruwala leaves a mark.

The film pays a tribute to Indian Army’s fearless and courageous soldiers who even when not on duty, are dedicated and ever willing to sacrifice their lives for their motherland. And that’s it nothing more.

Tum Ho Yaara - Hindi movie review

 Rating: **

Tum Ho Yaara is a love triangle-cum-thriller starring Ganesh Venkatraman, Kalpana Pandit & Shobana, directed by Natty Kumar & Dr. Jay while J.

Shiva is a witness to a crime, which he comes to know that his girl friend’s father is the master mind. Shiva is planning to go to the US for bright prospects and so Meera is keen that before he departs, Shiva should meet her father and ask for her hand.

It begins well, loses pace midway, but catches up in the latter half which is full of twists and turns. Shobana’s character is that of a sweet looking homely-cum-professional doctor. Kalpana Pandit looks voluptuous and cool yet agressive team member in Shiva’s team in the US. Shiva is fit enough for the realistic action sequences performed by him.
