Bullet Raja - Bollywood Film Review

Rating: **

Raja Mishra (Saif Ali Khan) is a Brahmin boy in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh looking for a job but gets involved with goons, and when he is chased, Raja sees a wedding procession and joins it. 

It is the local strongman's daughter's wedding and the procession is headed towards the strongman’s haveli, where Raja instantly befriends the bride's cousin, Rudra Tripathi (Jimmy Shergill). Within hours, Rudra and Raja become best of friends, and Raja becomes a part of rest of the functions and events of this Lucknowi wedding.

Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Bullet Raja has unrealistic gunfights, goons openly ruling the city, depicting incompetence of police force and a mishmash of love, politics and the underworld. It is a below average film.

Saheb Biwi aur Gangster Returns - Film Review


A sequel to the critically acclaimed 2011 thriller, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, this version has Jimmy Shergill and Mahie Gill, who reprise reprising their roles from the first part.
Other pivotal characters added are that of Irrfan Khan and Soha Ali Khan.
Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns is a romantic thriller drama about the royals fighting for money and power.
Aditya Pratap Singh (Jimmy Shergill), a royal prince, is shown as a crippled, moving around in a wheel chair, trying to recover from the physical disability. Recovering from his wife’s betrayal, he has the company of lover cum seductress Madhavi Devi (Mahie Gill).
Aditya Pratap Singh manages the strategies and the play of politics of Madhavi Devi who is now an elected Member of Legislative Assembly in a northern state of India.
As they are some four independent MLAs who hold the key to swaying of the policies of the ruling party, Aditya Pratap Singh holds the leash on the policy matters of supporting the ruling party and brilliantly stage-manages their support to extract the best bargain in their favour.
The other independent MLAs are his cousins and uncles, who now show signs of merging with the ruling party for one time immediate gain, whereas Aditya Pratap Singh tries his best to convince them to stay independent and then have the opportunity of extracting the best bargains – time and again.
Madhavi Devi’s relationship with Aditya is in a mess and has turned into an alcoholic and is deprived of money by Aditya for her lavish lifestyle.
She comes in contact with Indrajeet Singh (Irrfan Khan), a prince, who has lost his aristocracy and has lost everything which was once destroyed by Aditya Pratap Singh’s ancestors. Indrajeet wants to regain his pride and has pledged to get back his family’s respect.
