Review - Staying Alive , LYTD , Gali Gali Chor Hain...

Namaskar – Cinema Review mein – main Bhawana Somaaya – aapka swagat karti hoon.


Iss hapte teen releases hain - aur teenon chhotte budget - in a sense -Black comedies hain.

Shemaroo produced aur Anant Mahadevan directed Staying Alive – satya ghatna par
adharit - aur 7 International Film Festivals mein sarhayi gayi - Hinglish film hai.



Aditya ek journalist hai - aur teesre heart attack ke baad – aspatal ke ICU mein admit hai.

Uske bagal ke palang par - ek criminal hai – jisse pehla attack aaya hai – aur isliye bohat
zyada anxious hai.

Teen attack ke baad –Aditya maut se nahi darta - aur ek attack wala Shaukat Ali ki
himmat badhata hai.

Dono mein kuch bhi common nahi hai – iske bawajood -donon mein ek lagav ban jata
hai.

Dono ki biwiyaan – ek doosre se bilkul alag hai – magar ICU ke bahar lambe samay -
saath saath baithkar – dono mein ek rishta ban jaata hai.

Kuch filmein hoti hain manoranjan ke liye – kuch hoti hain vichardhara ke liye – aur
kuch – jaise Staying Alive - hoti hain zindagi ka sabak sikhane ke liye.

Staying Alive ko milte hain 2 stars.
__________________________

Savla produced aur Rafeeq Ellias cinematographed aur directed - Love You To Death
India, USA aur Canada festival mein darshayi gayi hai aur bohat saare awards bhi jeete
hain.



Film ke poster pe likha hai -ladki kutta aur supari – jisse humme kahani ka kuch andaza
hojata hai.

LYTD - kuch funky hai – kuch crazy hai – aur ek alag tarike se – aaj ke daur ka aina bhi
hai.

Writer ka kehna hai ke kahani newspaper headlines se prerit hai - jisse unhone jaan
bujhkar ek Black comedy ki tarha pesh kiya gaya hai.

Isliye film ke saare characters whacko hain: Doctor Rockstar hai - directr supari leta hai.
Tarrot reader kutte ki aatma se baat karti hai – Mummyji ghar baithe baazi badalti hai –
aur Sonia jo crystals aur cards par jeeti hai.

Director Rafeeq Elios film ko experimental theatre ki tarha present karte hai – jiski wajah
se LYTD - anokhi hai aur saath hi mein - anjaani si lagti hai.

Film ke kuch hisse bohat hi sparkling hai – aur kuch bohat hi boring- kuch yaadgar pal
hai: Jab Sonia apne kutte ko vet ke paas lekar jaati hai aur climax – jab saare characters
gun party mein shamil hote hain.

Saare performances out of ordinary hai – khas taurpe Mummyji – yaane Suhasini Mulay
aur Sonia ki bhumika mein Yuki Ellias – jo nayi kalakar hote hue cinema ko achi tarha se
samajhti hai.

LYTD ko milte ha 2 stars.

One Up produced aur Rumi Jaffery directed Gali Gali Chor Hai Bhopal mein basse
Shivnarayan aur unke pariwar ki kahani hai.



Shivnarayan ka beta Bharat - bank mein cashier hai - aur uski bahu Nisha - school mein
teacher hai.

Bharat – shaukh ke liye -mohalla ki Ram Leela mein - Hanuman ki bhumika nibhata ha
aur apni saadi Zindagi se santoosht hai.

Ek raat –hawaldar Parshuram Khushwaa –Shivnarayan ke ghar khatre ki ghanti bajata
hai.

Khushwaa Bharat ko – uske khoye hue table fan ko lene ke liye- doosre din court bulata
hai - aur wahan se shuru hoti hai - ek aadmi ki mushqilon ki safar.

Chunnu chor aur Giulkand paanwale se lekar – Bharat anginat rishwatkhor afsaron aur
MLA se milta hai- aur nirdosh hote hue- har jagah dand bharta hai.

Director Rumi Jafrey ne iske pehle- sainkdo mainstream filmein likhi hai aur bohat saari
David dhawan ke saath hit bhi rahi.

As a director unki pehli film God Tussi Great Ho insaan aur bhagwan ke beech vivaad
tha.

Gali Gali Chor Rumi ka doosra directorial prayas hai - aur ab tak ki police politician ke
nexus ki filmon se bilkul alag hai.

Film ki neeyat nek hai aur writer Bhopal ke culture aur humour se achi tarha se waqif hai.

Film ka first half engaging hai – magar jab film ka second half jab bhrashtachar ke wohi
muddon ko baar baar dohrata hai - aap bore hojate ho.

Bharat table fan ko lekar sainkdo jagah ghumta hai – restaurant, hawkers, theatre, bus,
magar ek bhi jagah - usse raas nahi aati.

Ek baat samajh mein nahi aati – ye kaisa aam aadmi hai – jo kabhi jagrat nahi hota?

Jiss system ka usse shikar banaya - ussi system ka usne apni rihahee ke liye istimaal kiya!
Sirf do chaar thapad marne se- aur do chaar bhashan dene se – bagawaat nahi hoti.

Iske bawajood ke saare actors ne bohat hi badhiya kaam kiya hai Gali Gali Chor ek toote
pankhe ki tarha tuk tuk karte chalti rehti hai.

Gali Gali Chor ko milte hai 2 stars.

  1. Itni sahajta se aapne teenon filmon ke review likhe hain. Ek baar samajh mein nahin aayi ki Staying Alive aggar acchi film hain toh keval 2 stars kyon? Is it because it's a badly directed film or didn't it appeal to you? That apart, mujhe aapki saree bahut acchi lagi. You look gorgeous in this saree :) .
