Subhash Ghai's RAM LAKHAN gone wrong
5 January 2009
Well what do we say of Subhash Ghai?

The man made entertainers like KARZ, RAM LAKHAN.etc nothing extraordinary but well made entertainers Today he is gone, washed out Starting from the debacles of the craps YAADEIN which was more of an advertisement of coca cola and pass pass.etc and then to KISNA, BLACK AND WHITE and now YUVVRAAJ

So what did Subhash Ghai first do while planning the film? Well he thought today a hit film requires a big star cast, a dramatic story plus some hit songs and a beautiful scenery

So he goes knocking to Anil Kapoor who was his lucky mascot earlier, then he chose Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif whose pairing he felt will attract crowds He promoted the film as a musical, fine

The movie starts with a boring 1980's type love story and a father who seems like An Amrish Puri type father, who doesn't agree for the marriage, oh wow- such a novel story

Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a back story of Salman being an anti- family man, one of the boring scenes and katrina's funny accent saying anti- family man so funny Then Salman comes to know his pop is dad after a long 1/2 hr or so And he goes to his family where he has an autistic brother(Anil)actually he gives lectures on emotions to his uncle, i feel Subhash did not know what is autism , a party animal kinda brother Zayed Khan demanding their shares And a long haired 2-3 scene appearance Mithun All property is in Anil's name and rest are left with nothing So now starts a cat-mouse game,Salman tries to befriend Anil and Zayed too tries the same This looks like a TV soap, well yes we also have an evil sister-in law and an evil mama wow Seems like a comedy, well an unintentional one Direction by Subhash is poor Editing is weak music(A.r.rehman) except Dost is bad Cinematography is great Amongst performances Sallu plays himself yet again with that fake accent, also his looks keep changing, he does impress in some scenes though Anil kapoor tries damn hard to play his part and is decent, though nothing compared to EESHWAR Katrina Kaif is her usual self, non actress Zayed Khan is bad Boman irani overacts badly
