Gabbar Is Back: When Villain turns Hero - Day 574

 

Sanjay Leela Bhansali produced aur Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi directed 

Gabbar is Back kahani hain bhrashtachar ki.

Ek desh premee, Akshay Kumar, apni toli banakar, desh ke har profession aur department se corruption khatam karne ki thhan leta hain.

Wo aur unke saathi system ke bahar rehkar system se ladte hain aur janta ko jagrit karte hain.

Kabhi wo collectors ko expose karte hain, kabhi excise officers ko...

Kabhi aspatal aur doctors ka parda faash hota hain, kabhi politicians ki raaj neeti ka aur kabhi police force ke iradon ka…

Film ka plus, film ka sandesh- kahani samajik mudein uthati hain phir bhale hi sab kuch over the top aur exaggerated hain.

Film ka minus, sab kuch itna zyaada over simplified hain ke vastavikta se koi connetion nahi.

Agar film mein kuch bhi normal- natural ya relatable hain, toh wo constable ke role mein Sunil Grover!

Shruti Hasan ka role chotta hain magar appealing hain aur Kareena Kapoor guest appearance mein glamour quotient laati hain.

1975 ki Sholay ka Gabbar daku tha. 2015 ka Gabbar villain nahi hero hain!

Wo Gabbar gaon walon ko darata tha, unka anaaj utha le jaata tha.

Ye Gabbar etablishment ko dhamkata hain aur sab ki himmat badhata hain!

Wo Gabbar Chambal ki pahadiyon mein chabuk barsaata tha…

Ye Gabbar shehar ki gulliyon mein gumnam ghumta hain…

Wo Gabbar ke dialogues aaj hum dohraatein hain.

Ye Gabar AmarPrem ke dialogue badalkar ikehta hain, “I hate Sorry”

Thodi melodramatic, zyaada violent aur kuch kuch romantic Akshay Kumar ki Gabbar Is Back ko Big Entertainment Ratings milte hain 2.5 stars.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui shines

It all started with Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur and since then there has been no looking back for actor. Whether it is the mainstream Kick with Salman Khan or The Lunch Box with Irfaan Khan or Badlapur with Varun Dhawana Nawaz has been rising and shining in every film.

In his forthcoming release Lateef he plays a simple man trapped in a system and raises important issues that concern society today. In short Lateef is a role one looks forward to from Nawaz.

Om Puri Ghayal Again

21/4/2015

OmPuri who was an integral part of 1990’s super hit film Ghayal starring Sunny Deol, has been roped in for the sequel Gayal Once Again.

It is believed that when Sunny Deol contacted Om Puri with the idea of the sequel the senior actor said if you are in it I’m in it with you and that was it. He neither asked for a narration of the role nor did he ask about his remuneration. Puri had faith that Dharam ka putar will do full justice to him as an actor and as a person and Deol, like his father has proved a gentleman.

There is just one issue. Director RajKumar Santoshi created a milestone with Ghayal. Let us hope that with Ghayal Once Again Sunny Deol as a director will take the sequel one step ahead.

This Friday its all about performances!

17/4/2015

Shonali Bose directed Margarita with a Straw 19 saal ki differently challenged ladki, Laila, yaane Kalki Kochelin ki kahani hain.

Laila honhaar musician hain aur apne group ke liye gaane bhi likhti hai.

Wo ek aam zindagi jeena chahti hain aur Shubhangi, Laila ki maa, yaane Revathy, uski ye koshish mein  madad karti hain.

Film ka sandesh ye hain ki disabled ke bhi wohi armaan aur jasbaad hote hain, jaise humare aur aap ke, aur ye hi film ka contradiction hain.

Laila university mein sangit ki taalim le rahi hain magar kahani sirf aur sirf, Laila ke sexual preoccupations par focus karti hain!!

Film privacy ka mudda uthati hain magar Laila ko hum bathroom, bedroom, personal shopping aur private website par bhi  dekhte hain.

Sach toh ye hain, ki hum kirdaar  se heroism ki apeksha karte hain, magar afsos, filmmaker hume voyeurist ka anubhav karaati hain.

Ye Kalki Kochelin ke career ka best performance hain aur usse bhi behtar hain maa-beti Revathy- Kalki ka rishta.

Margarita with a Straw ko bahtarteen performances ke liye Big Entertainment Ratings milte hain 2.5 stars.

*********************************************************************

Vishesh Films produced aur Vikram Bhatt directed Mr X kahani hain ek invisible officer ki jo adrashya rehkar apna badla leta hain aur sab ko nyay dilate hain.

1987 mein Shekhar Kapoor ne issi vishay par ek film banayi thi Mr India.

Mr India mein Anil Kapoor ke paas ek magic bracelet tha, jiska button on/off kar ke, wo visible/ invisible ban jaate thee.

Vikram Bhatt ka hero, Raghu, yaane Mr X, ke problems aur paristhitiyaan zyaada complicated hain.

Film ka plus, film ka music, production values, action, special effects aur Emraan Hashmi jo koi bhi role mein fit ho jaate hain.

Film ka minus na isme dil hain, na jaan, toh 3D chashme pehno aur popcrn khao.

Mr X  ko Big Entertainment Ratings milte hain 2.5 stars
