13B

2009-12-19T17:37:00.002+05:30

Do you believe in spirits? If not, 13B would try to make you believe in them. 13B, a Bollywood flick is directed and written by Vikram Kumar, belongs to the same family as The Ring and Pulse. No, it's not a copy of these two films, but a home appliance is used by the spirits to convey their message.

13B moves around you in the proceedings and most essential part is that it scares you as well. 13B is stretched and takes its own time to come to the point.

Manohar the character played by R. Madhavan, is an upwardly mobile middle class Indian, moves into a new apartment '13B' on the 13th floor with his family. From the very first day in their new home, strange things starts happening in the family.

Director of the film has executed the material well. Dialogues are pedestrian. Music from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is more of an intrusion. R.Madhavan does a commendable job. Neetu Chandra is alright. Poonam Dhillon is just okay. Sachin Khedekar is wasted. Dhrtiman Chatterjee, is first-rate.

On the whole, 13B is interesting in some parts only. At the box-office the film proved to be a scary proposition for its investors.

Rocket Singh:Salesman Of The Year

2009-12-16T13:17:00.003+05:30

Koena (Gauhar Khan), another dissatisfied employee, gives Harpreet a sales opening. Soon Harpreet Singh Bedi is found running a parallel business in the name of Rocket Sales Corporation with the help of other dissatisfied employees of the company. Rocket Singh: Salesman Of The Year is not a film that grips you but it's an impassioned effort. Rocket Singh starts where Wake Up Sid ends. Watch it, really.

Radio

2009-12-05T17:14:00.003+05:30

The Bollywood singer-cum-composer-cum-songwriter-cum-actor Himesh Reshammiya had put up a decent performance in KARZZZZ after his disastrous acting debut with Aap Ka Suroor. The movie Radio is directed by Isshaan Trivedi and it got released on 3 December, 2009.

The film also features Sonal Sehgal and Snenaz Treasuryvala. The movie starts off in a way similar to Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone's film Love Aaj Kal that began with a break up, whereas, Radio has a divorce starting the proceedings.

Sonal Sehgal and Snenaz Treasuryvala are the two actresses who will earn more fame from the film. There's more of commentary in th flick than action. The song 'Maan ka radio...' which has been making waves for the last few months does not get even a decent footage.

Paresh Rawal's role in the film seems to be a case of a last moment addition in the script. Half of the movie is shot showcasing on R J Vivan (Himesh Reshammiya) in the Radio Mirchi Studios. The movie didn't have any genius plot. The second half of the film doesn't stand strong enough.

Somehow Radio is complicated. Himesh you have switch on to wrong frequency this time...

De Dana Dan

2009-11-28T14:27:00.010+05:30

Priyadarshan knows the exact doze for laughter. With his latest comedy release De Dana Dan with a gang of Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Sameera Reddy.
For supporting roles Neha Dhupia, Asrani, Johnny Lever, Manoj Joshi, Chunkey Pandey, Archana Puran Singh, Aditi Govitrikar, Sharat Saxena and Rajpal Yadav were casted.
It's all madness, full on masti, a perfect entertainer; it’s a comedy of errors based on mistaken identities. For De Dana Dan the full credit should go to its crispy and crunchy script laced with punchy dialogues from Jay Master and Priyadarshan has executed the film with his masterly skill that makes the movie a real rollercoaster ride.

Akshay Kumar again adds charm to his character. Sunil Shetty is okay while Paresh Rawal and Manoj Joshi bring the house up and down. Katrina Kaif, Sameera Reddy and Aditi Govitrikar are more of eye candies, though Neha Dhupia does get to shoot off a few smutty dialogues.

With all this we can conclude that De Dana Dan is the best comedy of errors that we have seen in Bollywood after a long long time. Don't sit at home go and get loaded with fun now.

All The Best:Fun Begins

2009-11-04T15:08:00.003+05:30

Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgan, Fardeen Khan, Bipasha Basu and Mugdha Godse starrer Bollywood film All The Best: Fun Begins is directed by Rohit Shetty who directed comedy flicks Golmaal and Golmaal Returns.

The jokes in the flick may appear silly, but who cares. As long as there's a smile on the face even after the show has ended, nothing else matters. All The Best:Fun Begins is one of those films which is made with the motive to keep the audiences entertained.

Fardeen Khan has played the role of Veer who is a singer by profession, and brother to Sanjay Dutt, who plays Dharam, a business-honcho. Like his previous films, Rohit Shetty's story is based on multiple characters.

But even with so many characters, the film tends to be free from complications. All The Best:Fun Begins is all about mistaken identities. Alongwith Rohit Shetty, Robin and Yunus have put in lot of effort to make the script watchable. Also Pritam's musical score is uninspiring and the songs act as speed breakers.

Sanjay Dutt plays his part well. The show-stopper is undoubtedly Ajay Devgan, whose comic timing is only getting better. Fardeen Khan has made a sincere attempt. Bipasha Basu is sweet, while Mugdha is just okay. Johny Lever and Sanjay Mishra are seen in terrific form. Mukesh Tiwari, Vijay Patkar, Ashwini Kalsekar and Atul Parchure lend credible report.

On the whole, All The Best:Fun Begins has unlimited laughter doze.

Aladin

2009-11-02T11:53:00.002+05:30

Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Ritesh Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez and Saahil Khan starrer upcoming flick Aladin is directed by Sujoy Ghosh. Bollywood's megastar Amitabh Bachchan plays a genie in the film.

Visual effects in the film arrest your attention very well and are well executed. Sabu Cyril's art is said to be commendable. The music given by Vishal and Shekhar is fabulous.

Ritesh Deshmukh shines in his solo-hero role. Sanjay Dutt will be seen enjoying thoroughly such a role after a long-long time. Debutante Jacqueline Fernandez is an actual stunner, but can do much better. The film might still be worth a watch for a few amusing moments.

Mirch

2009-10-28T12:44:00.002+05:30

Do Knot Disturb

2009-10-03T12:05:00.002+05:30

Produced by Vashu Bhagnani, directed by David Dhawan Do Knot Disturb was released on October 2, 2009. The film features Govinda, Sushmita Sen, Ritesh Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Sohail Khan, Ranvir Shorey, Rituparna Sengupta, Rajpal Yadav and Manoj Pahwa.

Govinda plays a rich husband who is married to Sushmita Sen. At the same time Govinda also has been having an affair with Lara Dutta who plays Dolly's character who is an item queen who has dumped her ex (Sohail Khan) for greener pastures. Govinda’s kicked out butler Nandu (Rajpal Yadav) in an attempt to get back at him clicks a photo of him with Dolly and sends it to his wife.

When you enter a film like Do Knot Disturb, logic should be the last thing on your mind. In the movie you will see a two timing husband who is no more a novelty on screen and Govinda and David Dhawan have churned out many films revolving around this theme earlier. But this time they have failed together.

Nadeem Shravan’s music is dated like the film’s jokes barring the Bebo number. Sets are gaudy and camerawork functional. Govinda can create a laugh riot amongst the audiences if he decides to do so but in this flick in some comic sequences the actor has lost his humor.

Ritesh Deshmukh on the other side is much subdued and likeable as the greedy waiter. Lara Dutta looks great and with her acting she has displayed good flair for comedy. Sushmita Sen is hardly there in the first half and is not seen in the second right till the climax.

Ranvir Shorey is funny but skips to tickle your laughter bone. Sohail Khan’s character could have been developed more as he is genuinely funny in his angry moments. Rajpal Yadav and Manoj Pahwa manage a few laughs. Rituparna Sengupta hardly gets any scope.

Do Knot Disturb is a comeback of the No.1 series trio of producer Vashu Bhagnani, director David Dhawan and Govinda but alas they need to work more this time !!

Wanted overpowers DBH

2009-09-24T15:57:00.004+05:30

Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia starrer film Wanted was promoted across all mediums and had so much of hype surrounding its release that an outstanding opening was predictable.

Salman Khan who looked fresh and danced amazingly like never before, shot action sequences and fast paced narrative did not disappoint the audiences like most big banner films in the recent past did.

Much against popular trade belief that Wanted is only a single-screen film, the film did decent business at most multiplexes as well with the audiences in. While most films show a slump in the business Monday onwards, it was exactly the opposite in case of Wanted.

Aamras-youth-centric film.

2009-09-17T12:32:00.005+05:30

Aamras is a comedy plus drama flick that features Vega Tamotia, Natasha Bhardwaj, Maanvi Gagroo, Anchal Sabarwal and Zarina Wahab. The film is directed by Rupali Guha. There's Pari, the spoilt rich glamgirl, Rakhi, the dusky Punjabi kudi, Jiya who's sweet and Sanya who's attractive and confident.

Aamras takes one back to the fun-filled carefree days of life when one does not have anything to worry about. Writer-director Rupali Guha is quite impressive in the first half but loses track in the second portion of the film.

An ordinary story based on four friends Jiya (Vega), Pari (Natasha), Rakhi (Maanvi) and Sanya (Aanchal), who belong to different family backgrounds and study together in the same school.

They stand for each other in their tough times. The story goes well unless Rupali brings in a romantic twist, which makes Aamras any regular run-of-mill film. It’s a youth-centric film.

Vega, Natasha, Maanvi and Aanchal are perfect for their roles. Ajay Singh Choudhury is nothing to do the film. Zarina Wahab and Reema, Sunil Sinha and Manoj Pahwa are good. On the whole, Aamras is fairly a good film.

Bachelor Party

2009-09-14T10:40:00.003+05:30

Bachelor Party is a Hindi comedy flick directed by Ishaan Trivedi and produced by Arun Bhairav, Faisal Kapadia. The movie was released on September 4, 2009 and featured Jimmy Shergill, Nauheed Cyrusi, Arbaaz Khan, Ninad Kamat, and Sharath Saxena.

Bachelor Party is a coarse comedy. The problem is that the movie is simply not funny enough. Even the more serious attempts at humour fall flat. A sensible but under-rated comedy that sank quietly at the box-office.

Ishaan Trivedi who is the director for Himesh Reshammiya's starrer film Radio fails to tickle the funny bone of the audiences.

Mohandas

2009-09-09T14:07:00.002+05:30

After showing his creative work in superhit films like Satya, Jhankar Beats and Masti, cinematographer Mazhar Kamran has now came up with his directorial debut titled Mohan Das which got released on September 4. With the film Mazhar Kamran makes a sincere attempt to narrate this unconventional story well.

The film is made on a small scale with talented actors like Sonali Kulkarni, Nakul Vaid, Sushant Singh, Sharbani Mukherjee, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Uttam Haldar, Aditya Shrivastav, Akhilendra Mishra and Govind Namdeo. The film is produced by Abha Sonakia.

The plot of the flick revolves around a man who is lost in his own country. The problems faced by a common man are dealt with open satire in the film. The
muisc of the movie is given by Vivek Priyadarshan.

Nakul Vaid plays his part very well and has proved his worth. Sushant Singh doesn't get scope, but nonetheless leaves an impact. Sharbani Mukerjee has transformed herself well for this part. Sonali Kulkarni gets a right role. Aditya Srivastava is competent. Govind Namdeo is first-rate. Sameer Dharmadhikari just okay. Uttam Haldar is proficient.

On the whole, Mohandas is a well-intentioned, well-made film, but it will have a tough time standing on its feet due to lack of face-value and also multiple releases. Still, you must see the film....

Kaminey-A Pure Entertainer

2009-09-07T14:04:00.004+05:30

Vishal Bhardwaj has successfully executed the story line of ‘Kaminey’ which makes it different from other films. The film stars Shahid Kapur and Priyanka Chopra. Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey is bold, funny and unpredictable, which is the success mantra of the flick.

Shahid Kapoor has played double role in Kaminey and he looks awesome in the film. Kaminey is not about masala film. Actually it is a well planned movie.

The story revolves around a pair of twin brothers– Charlie and Guddu. Charlie lisps, while Guddu stammers. The title Kaminey takes time to justify itself. The best part of the movie begins after the interval to the climax.

The director has placed all themes so perfectly, that his direction proves that Vishal is a master storyteller. With the film Shahid Kapur has already taken a big step towards stardom. Priyanka Chopra is now the top-most listed actress. Amole Gupte is outstanding. Tenzing Nima and Chandan Roy Sanyal leave a solid impression.

Watch the pure entertainer film and have fun !!!

Love Khichdi-A one time watch

2009-09-03T10:51:00.003+05:30

Directed by Srinivas Bhashvam, Love Khichdi's storyline is based on seven different girls and one man. What does make "Love Khichdi" interesting at junctures is the entire 'talking to the camera' narrative that the director applies. The film projects at what a man and a woman would think about the same situation.

The film though eventually boils down to be the show reel for the lead couple Randeep and Sadaa. Sadaa gets maximum footage and does complete justice to her part in her debut Bollywood film. She is beautiful, confident and her experience in films down south shows. On the whole, Love Khichdi may not be the perfect health diet but is decent enough to be a one time watch. Too many parallel tracks spoil the script. The main characters of the film are Randeep Hooda, Sonali Kulkarni, Rituparna Sengupta, Divya Dutta, Riya Sen, Kalpana Pandit.

Tum Mile

2009-08-31T11:21:00.005+05:30

Kunal Deshmukh directional Tum Mile casts Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan and the film is based on 26th July 2005 Mumbai floods that was a threatening day for almost all.

The story shifts perspective between the past and the present- a glorious but crazy past of 2 entirely different people who separate in love-the differences after they very excited in the beginning.

Producer Mukesh Bhatt doesn’t have much to worry though. The entire film has already been completed in a specially designed set that recreates the Mumbai flood scene. This movie plot looks as if written exclusively for Emran Hashmi. The film has music by Pritam and expected to arrive on 13th November, 2009.
