Saat Uchakkey – movie review

Rating: ***

A comedy caper about 7 scoundrels pursuing their ulterior motive amid saving their skin from the local cop’s hawk eyes.

It appears as a realistic story of these petty crooks blundering their way through an exciting gamut of mystery, greed, treachery and running into one riotouscrisis after another.

It hilariously illustrates the predicament of Pappi Jaatwala (Manoj Bajpayee) who chances upon a prophecy made by a mystic tramp Bichchi (Annu Kapoor). He is turning 40 and now this good-for-nothing daydreamer has been given a deadline by his girl friend Sona (Aditi Sharma) whilst he appears to lose grip on reality, bent on believing someday very soon, he would stumble upon a hefty windfall.

His girl friend Sona is skilled at the intricate art of manipulating any person for her benefit with fish apenty in the big wide sea. She does so with charm and ease. Read more at: http://www.filmytown.com/movies/saat-uchakkey-movie-review/

Singh is Bliing – movie review

Mindless Comedy - Rating: **

Akshay Kumar’s energy, emotions and performance are the only saving grace of this yet again mindless comedy-action adventure.

Raftaar Singh (Akshay Kumar) is the apple of his mother (Rati Agnihotri) who spoils her son with her love and her home-cooked jalebis. Raftaar spends his time dancing and hanging out with his friends.

He is a free spirited man who finds happiness in other people’s smiles. He is always looking to live his life to the fullest and runs away from responsibility, leaves everything in his life incomplete. Hence his father sends him to Goa to work under his friend who could bring some change in this no-good son.

Raftaar Singh is then sent to receive his new Boss’s friend’s daughter Sara (Amy Jackson) who has come to India to search for her mother. She is beautiful yet tough as a rock as she grew up amidst guns and goons. Her kicks and punches would break bones for sure.

Our Sardarji has fallen in love with this girl, but she cannot understand Hindi, nor does he understand English. So the need to employ and interpreter Emily (Lara Dutta) who has to interpret the boys lovey-dovey messages to Sara and then left with no option of diplomatically translating the foreigner’s cold yet sharp answers.

Bombay Velvet - Hindi movie review

Rating: **

It is the story of how Bombay transformed its landscape during the 60s and 70s and the corrupt administration, which is hand in glove with the mill owners and the rich. This apart, the story is woven around the backdrop of Ranbir-Anushka romance.

Ranbir Kapoor plays a small time hood, with an aim to become a 'big-shot' before he dies, Ranbir plays an ambitious street fighter, with a painful childhood. Ranbir gets into the skin of his character and is so realistic that one feels for the person Johnny Balraj.

Karan Johar's role as a media mogul Kaizad Khambata has a striking introductory scene. His performance as an antagonist is overshadowed by powerful performances by Manish Chaudhary, apart from the lead pair.
