Fan (2016)
Good movie with some flaws
FAN - a movie about obsession. An obsessed FAN trying to meet him up, only to find out he isn't the person he thought he would be.
Shahrukh Khan finally acts after a long gap of 6 years (My Name is Khan being last). And he does it beautifully, his earlier bad films like Dilwale, happy new year were so cringe that definitely hurt his reputation. This can only improve his stand for future movies.
A Delhi boy,owning a Cyber Cafe wins Super Sitara contest by mimicking. Aryan Khanna the popular superstar, and decides to meet him up on hi birthday by traveling without ticket like his idol but fails get an introduction. Later he takes on some nasty paths to grab his attention. When they both meet the impression is shattered and Aryan sends Gaurav to Delhi and asks him to move on and never interfere.
Gaurav takes it too personally asking for an apology and to make him realize what fans can do, who make them superstars, when they turn against him.
Shahrukh stands out as a performer in both roles, during the movie their characters peel off and even we see the good and bad side of both the characters. The movie ends with an emotional climax.
The flaws in the movies cannot be ignored in second half, some well executed yet unnecessary action and chase sequences. Some baffling considerations when Gaurav try to set up crime scenes, just seem poorly handled. A song less ,non commercial angle needed more stronger screenplay handling.
Watch it for Shahrukh's stellar performance and a decent message about how fans should not be. 1 extra star for Shahrukh's acting
Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)
The Man who cannot die
When you watch a SRK movie nowadays, frankly you don't expect much of from him. Al you expect is a superstar embracing his heroines and making some entertainment. This movie brings out the actor in him , like Swades,Chak De India, My Name Is Khan.
Jab Tak hain Jaan isn't a groundbreaking brilliant film, but it does move ahead of the peppy melodramatic romances of bollywood these times.It silly yet mature, weak yet strong. The acting of all the three actors saves it from being downfall. This is a GOOD movie to watch this diwali, if you are not looking for crap comedies or action makers.
Samar Anand is the Bomb diffuser who would refuse to wear protection jacket for some unknown reasons. Akira a 21 year old woman, who wants to work for discovery channel with "instant make out-instant break out" relationship attitude and who wants to have "sex with different nations guys" comes across this introvert,rugged "soldier" and goes deep into his past.
The story flashbacks to 2002 when an Indian struggler meets a high society girl Meera and gradually falls in love with her, and in due time she reciprocates her feeling. A road accident changes the course of the film and Samar and Meera get separated from each other. In obsession of breaking a certain faith returns to India and becomes a fearless bomb diffuser, where he has diffused more than 90 bombs and yet he isn't scared of death.
Akira falls for him, and pursues him for his story for her discovery channel. Slowly Samar and Akira get involved with each other by befriending,for some professional purpose of Akira's documentary Samar has to return to London where the movie takes a turn till the climax.
The negatives of the movie: it has some scripting flaws, lengthy , somewhat predictable in some places.
Positives: A good twist in the movie, Anushka Sharma's acting, Shahrukh Khan's acting, music of A.R Rahman, and some good direction done by late Mr. Yash Chopra.
The moral of the movie lies in the fact that genuine love remains unbroken even if it is at the cost of separation or anger.
overall 7.5/10. i am going with 9/10, because of Yash Chopra's demise
Don 2 (2011)
Simple PLOT-good execution
farhan akhtar took a simple plot , but executed it in a stylish way.
DON 2 isn't a perfect movie but it is a good one, it needed a complex plot and a similar execution to get a 10/10. Well...
there are cons and pros in the movie
cons- sluggish execution of screenplay.
lara dutta characterization.
Ordinary Music
Straight forward plot.
Now the pros---
1. Direction 2. SRK as DON characterization 3. Action Sequence 4. Ending.
DON 2 is a good movie, it has a decent 1st half and a great 2nd half..but as a farhan akhtar fan you crave for more....just wanted to give a 10/10 . Couldn't...
Nevertheless a good comeback from SRK after Ra.one mishap...DON 3 must be better...and Priyanka chopra needs a sterner characterization.
Action concept has done an incredible job...hats off to them, Shahrukh has always been accepted in negative roles.
Desi Boyz (2011)
Good First Half --Crap worthless 2nd half spoils a potential Plot
Let me tell you if you are desperate to want to watch a better Akshay kumar movie than thank you,tees maar khan etc , you can definitely enjoy this movie, but not if you want a decent good movie.
Akshay tries his best but he is a wasted actor of bollywood, so he is wasted again.
2 friends Nick and Jerry are hit by recession and the former loses his job and the latter already jobless, loses his "ATM card" Nick , who cannot provide for him now. Radhika awasti is fiancée of Nick but cant stand Jerry.
Moneyless Jerry wants to save his sister's son (orphan) from going into a foster family, but cant maintain him so he takes up a job of male escort,headed by Sanjay Dutta, after a lot of hesitation even Nick joins the group to help him out .
A sudden fallout of them separates them, and the 2 separate their ways and jerry returns to college to complete his MBA degree..where he meets the professor (chitrangada singh). The 2nd half is so badly executed, extended and anupham kher's character provides poor comedies and all you wait for the movie to end...the screenplay is poor..and the movie ends with bitter taste to you. Chitrangada singh is only involved to provide some sexual oomph, she is wasted as an actor.
Don't go for wait, if you want to enjoy a good movie try out next Dirty Picture, Don 2 or ladies vs ricky bhel..but Akki fan may go and watch this because its at least better than his earlier craps.
Rockstar (2011)
Ranbir Kapoor and A.R Rahman Steal the show
First of all i went to watch the movie with lots of negative reviews coming from social networks. After I watched the movie i was shocked how this movie failed to impress that bunch of audience.
Literally Ranbir kapoor outdid himself, he has acted superbly in the movie. Be it the struggling wanna be singer , who doesn't know the difference between a real broken heart and a fake love , or be it the singer star JORDAN who doesn't care a bit about the media , or never hesitate to point a middle finger to you.
Movie starts and ends in same place, there are lots of flashback and abrupt pace changes in the movie, Imtiaz Ali lost marks due to some mismanagement of screenplay in second half. The movie ends with an open ending..and is up to the audience to decide what do they want to conclude.
Rahman has done a fantastic job, the way he has maintained the rhythm throughout the movie is excellent, his music plays a key role in "Sadda Haq" sequence which surely gonna blow you away..and yes its during this song, you will get the real meaning of the "eco friendly" line...
Nargis Fakri was a letdown, he got one of the best roles to start her career, she acted badly. Overall rockstar will leave you with a heavy heart, and a hangover of Ranbir's Performance.
Fanaa (2006)
And they Say amir is Perfectionish....!
I was very impressed by the music of the film which leads me to see this film excited as I was the film falls straight down hill from the word go...
Pathetic film, poor acing, poor screenplay! ordinary paces movie, amir khan couldn't do justice to the negative character! The Amir kajol chemistry is no where to amir SRK chemistry! The 2nd half is incredibly predictable, with the child rehan too bad in acting! the movie cashed in only for its hype, the foolish amir khan fans may go and waste their time and money to watch this crap! even Hrithik's Main Prem ki Diwani hoon is better than this!
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
A Novel Based Masterpiece!
Requiem for a Dream is a novel written by Hubert Shelby Jr, written in 1978. Its a great novel which deals with the dark side and the consequences of the drug world, intentional or unintentional addiction.
The movie is perfectly based on the novel, with minor editing which are absolutely necessary for make it fit in to movie hours.
The movie is about 4 characters,Harry,his mother Mrs Sarah Goldferb,Tyrone his friend and his girlfriend Marion.In search of quick money they come together and illegally start selling drugs, and get them addict do it also, Mrs Sara Goldfarb, lonely as she was..had only one desire to be on TV after she got a call from the TV channel. But she was too overweight to look good on TV , so she decide to take pills to reduce her weight, and she was so much engrossed with it she made it a bad habit of overdose..the rest of the story follows twisted,and tragic as the 4 characters sink into the darkness in trying 2 live their dreams. Excellently supported by a wonderful background music which makes you glued to the screen and the movie, Requiem for a Dream is a must watch.(ADULTS ONLY)
Housefull (2010)
Akshay Kumar Should try something better
Well i watched houseful and thank god i did not watch in in theater! Please do not waste time to watch this movie,only watch it if you really need to watch a comedy movie and don't have any better movies to watch! Akshay kumar was pretty good in the acting,so wasarjun rampal,but main acting was done by Boman Irani! The Story is nothing new,old relationship problems,confusion and same old crappy portrayal.Akshay Kumar should try something new,or refreshing comedy like Hera Phiri or Dhamaal type of movies! All the actress are there to add glamor.The movie started well, and the "Panauti" song perfectly matched up with it.Thats why i am giving it 5,else i would have given 2-3.Keep your brains outside when you watch it!One more thing this movie has a horrible ending.That ruins the movie more.!BAD LUCK CHARM..oh yeah Akshay Kumar is real bad luck charm for bollywood!
Kites (2010)
2 hrs of boredom!
You may be well surprised to see my review, well i am not posting any spoilers here!Well the movie sucks,acting is good ,cinematography is OK,screenplay pathetic,direction sucks..and the movie should have been completed 30 minutes ago! On a whole kites is a disappointment, another good thing is FIRE dance of HR...that really rocks! i am giving 4 just because of the acting and the dance! Hrithik should henceforth select good script and does not waste 2 yrs to make such sh*t..
Kanga Ranaut was underutilized,did not know why she was taken ...only to expose her sexy legs?? Barbara and HR were busy kissing each other rather than putting something materialistic. The villain was impressive..!
Kabir Bedi was not even shown for minute in the extreme later half of the movie whereas he was don of the villains...!
Anurag Basu has lost it,after gangster and Life in A Metro..KITES certainly doesn't fly! It will be declared a FLOP in India if it manages any thing less than 30 core's distributor share!(Which Looks tough as the film Crashed on Monday)
My Name Is Khan (2010)
A Story of innocence,injustice,Islam,Autism,and Humanity
My Name Is Khan is few of the bollywood movies that hold a true class and bring out innovations in the film making.The basic concept is quiet similar to many other movies that all muslims are not terrorists,but the way it is scripted and screenplayed and moreover acted upon by Shahrukh khan and Kajol..is truly magnificent.
My Name Is Khan is unique in many areas, its out of SRK's zone of full fledged commercial cinema, its non commercial attempt,the film portrays the journey of an autistic man, who thinks simple, with heart full of innocence and a good intelligence combined with sharp memory,to meet the President of USA. A seemingly impossible task, which a common man will never undertake,Rizwan Khan carried on and in the process of doing so..he touched the life of everybody he met with love and humanity,later to emerge as a national figure after high profile media chase.His message is simple, every Muslim is not terrorist,and people with Muslim names should not be humiliated. Kajol is brilliant as well, Kjo Direction could have been better, but the performance of SRK-Kajol..and the story manages to cover up his directional flaws. For me 10/10
