Sultan (2016)
An emotional roller-coaster!
One of those movies where the script wasn't any where close to original. You will be easily able to make out ideas copied. Nevertheless, the cast, acting, direction and theme of the movie was superb. Not a big Salman khan fan but this one won't disappoint you as its closer to reality by even SK standard. Salman khan screen presence was phenomenal. There are numerous goose bumps moments. His journey from rags to fame was captivating albeit hastened from a directional point of view. No body in real life goes from nothing to a state champion and there too to beat a wrestler twice his weight. His journey to international fame does come at a cost of of his family life.
His son dies soon after birth because blood transfusion couldn't be arranged. His wife get angry because he wan't around and tries to break ties with him. He goes into isolation and depression and starts collecting alms for his son to open a blood bank. Life gets lucky for him. A guy who runs a professional body for MMA approaches him to fight for him. He agrees after a little soul search. What follows later re-defines him as a great fighter. His journey to excellence is accompanied with moments of soul searching and self encouragement.
Welcome Back (2015)
Crappy script - Serious Disappointment
Sequel of Welcome, which was quite an enjoyable film. This films stars all the A-listers, which was the reason it got droves of people to watch it in the first place. Honestly, the film is a disappointed. With the likes of Nana Patekar and Paresh Rawal. Their presence makes it livelier but the weak story line seriously undermines the whole experience.
The film show casts Dubai shorelines, which look amazing on the big screen. However, the direction was choppy. One particular sequence was just down right stupid when skydivers are above Palm one moments and appear next to their target the next in the sandy dunes of remote UAE.
The A-listers are gold and their on-screen performance was what kept things going but the new cast, Shruti Hassan and Dimple's Daughter (in the film) did a pretty shoddy job.
Film to let go by in the cinema and probably catch up on a Saturday afternoon in front of Tele.
