Bang Bang (I) (2014)

Bang with Bang-Bang

[7/10 · 3 October 2014]

My Bang Bang Review :- Hrithik is back after a gap of almost a year since Krishh3 and this time he's back with Bang. Movie had huge expectations as per the promos and it was much awaited since Hrithik had suffered major surgery while shooting it. Packed with blazing stunts that we generally see in Hollywood Bond movies, superbly captured Action and especially chase sequences, background score added another beauty. However movie lacked a strong story line as it had shown enough promises to be another suspense thriller movie in the beginning, little bit more effort could have been put by director Siddarath Anand to re-order its screenplays. Cast wise Hrithik as usual, the real James Bond of bollywood lived up to public's expectations with his dashing actions, superb dancing skills plus a 10-pack figure . Katrina was had very little to do here as it was complete Hrithik Show. Music was good as per story pace and flow. Overall a good entertainer to watch for on a long weekend to relax your self. My verdict for this *** (3/5) stars.

Singham Returns (2014)

Lion Roars and Rattles Corruption Once Again

[9/10 · 24 August 2014]

Movie packed with real time drama and sequences which we see every day in these corrupt politicians and fake baba's on which we Indian people trust blindly. Movie depicts the Story of a new Nation that whole nation wants to see as Corrupt free and clean Bharat, the hurdles they face in achieving so, a rare and mild hope of an old and experienced politician (Anupam Kher) along with his young blood team, story of an honest and aggressive Cop who hates bribes and who loves his duty more than his life. Movie carries very nice story throughout with so many climaxes and anti-climaxes that we see, at no pint of time you would want to leave your seat to miss even single moment, it keeps you intact even till end where you want this story to continue as it's inspiring every individual. Action packed sequences, rains of bullet in fight scenes keeps you excited. Rohit sheety knows best to create Action from nowhere. Ajay devgan proves once again that no one can beat him when it comes playing the role of an Dashing Cop. Daya from CID, played his part with too much perfection where he was standing all the way from shoulder to shoulder with Ajay. However, movie had some flaws as well, Role Kareena is doubtable as she actually needed in movie? Music is also not enthralling but when one you have strong story and amazing background score, you don't need Baisakhi of music to stand upon. The lion roars and enthralls. Must watch for every individual. My verdict 3.5/5.

Satyagraha (2013)

Must Join this Revolution

[31 August 2013]

Prakash Jha is back with another social subject oriented movies, this time he focuses on Corruption and dirty politics of current system. The movie begins with very small issue which becomes the starting point of revolution and slowly and steadily revolution gains pace and momentum. First half of the movie is very slow and predictable but as movie enters second, it energies the audience with every scene showing the true character of current government towards public's welfare. Packed with intense dialogues and brilliant capture of rural locations of country, Jha was able to bring down the truth on silver screen. Movie has lots of flaws. Love story between Ajay and Kareena seemed totally out of the way as per movie's subject and story. Music is also not up to the mark except for just one song. "Raghu Pati Raja Ram" song keeps audience engaged with its excellent lyrics. Whole Star cast did full justice to their roles, Specially BIG B, he was simply brilliant. Ajay as usual good with intense roles and Manoj good with his negative image. Overall brilliant effort by Jha to bring this corruption problem on silver screen from which whole nation is suffering from past so many years. He tried his best to show the root causes of this dirty politics. Overall everyone must join this revolution to contribute against corruption. My verdict to this is 3/5 Stars.!!!!

Chennai Express (2013)

Don't Miss The Chennai Express Train

[9 August 2013]

King Khan is presenting you Chennai Express on EID festival, the movie packed with Action, Comedy, Romance as usual which has been the bench mark of SRK's movies but this time love story has been given typical south Indian flavor. Movie revolves around completely over SRK and Deepika who are scared of Deepika's father who is don in his town. The movie has been excellently crafted with so many punch lines over which you can't stop laughing, brilliant performances by SRK and Deepika in particular who has given her best performance till date, adapting to south Indian accent wasn't easy in her dialogs and expressions but deepika has done this with so much ease, she looks so natural her in emotional scenes as well, Vishal-shekhar's music with south Indian touch also keeps audience on their toes with songs like Kashmir main and Tittli already on public's lips. Rohit shetty's direction was too good, excellently captured outdoor shots of chennai and kerala. Simply superb movie, overall a complete family entertainer package for the audience. My verdict to this 3.5/5 Stars.

Robber (I) (2013)

Slow But Fantastic Movie

[7/10 · 7 July 2013]

Looetera with story revolving around 1953 post independence where one guy comes to a small town of Bengal with intention to loot a rich zimidar and fell in love with his daugther. Sequences of events happen and story goes on. The story has been inspired from famous story read in school times "The Last Leaf". 1st half of movie is slow and is building the sequences that may occur, second half looks fast with some twists and turns, climax was expected. on the whole, credit must be given to director who extracts the splendid performances from both the main leads, also all the locations have been beautifully captured, full justice to the 1953 background of India. The main Cast Ranveer and Sonakshi has done commendable job with their performances, ranveer in particular looks good with his slow dialogs. On the whole, the movie is slow but beautiful painting that a painter can put on Canvas. My verdict is 3.5 Stars.
