Wanted Movie Review


Director :
Music :
Lyrics :


Starring : Prabhu Deva
Sajid-Wajid
Jalees Sherwani, Sameer, Arun Bhairav, Wajid, Shabbir Ahmed and Salman Khan
Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia Azmi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Asseem Merchant, Sajid, Vinod Khanna, Mahek Chhal and Prakash Raj


Wanted: A tighter script. Wanted: Better editing. Wanted: A smooth flow of scenes. What you get instead is a 'leave-your-brains-behind' fare replete with frenzied plots, typical of Bollywood films of an era gone by, which cared two hoots about script or screenplay.

But Salman Khan fans need not fear, WANTED is all about the Khan. Here he is on a killing spree. One after the other, bad guys get bumped off, either to a bullet or to his fist. Last week BAABARR, did the killing, this week it is Radhe (Salman Khan) who works for moneybhai (meaning, he kills for money). And he kills with passionate glee!

There's also Gani bhai, Golden and Datta Pawle who do the killing. They are hardcore underworld characters who feed the cops and bleed the city. A bad cop is thrown in for good measure in the form of Inspector Talpade (Mahesh Manjrekar). Talpade decides which girl he wants to size up and does so in public! Of course there is also Ayesha Takia. Poor girl, she doesn't know if she is coming or going. I mean there are no links to her scenes and no meaning to her dialogues either. From a call centre where she works, she is either going to meet Radhe or to her aerobic classes. She has a kid brother who takes the 8pm local (empty). It is not clear whether he is going home or coming home!

Dil Bole Hadippa! Movie Review



Director :
Music :

Lyrics :
Starring : Anurag Singh
Pritam Chakraborty and Joshilay (Guest Composer)
Jaideep Sahni
Shahid Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, Poonam Dhillon, Anupam Kher, Dalip Tahil, Rakhi Sawant, Sherlyn Chopra and Vrajesh Hirjee


I don't know why, but I get this feeling that this movie has been cleverly crafted and executed to herald Rani Mukherjee's second coming. Producer Aditya Chopra along with director Anurag Singh has made sure this is a Rani fare all the way and she gets most of the screen time. After all, it has been a long time Rani has been seen on screen. And to be fair to the actor, she has done a brilliant job. Showing the fire of old and a spark that still glows, Rani lights up the screen every time she comes on. Be it in the get-up as a male cricketer or as the village belle. She has enough and more scenes and dialogues to steam ahead in the numbers game. Others beware, the GHULAM girl is back with a bang.

There's no dum in the story. It's a remix of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Chak De, both Yash Raj films. There are also enough references to the other hits from their banner, as is customary in all their films.

Veera Kaur (Rani Mukherjee) is a cricketer who can hit six sixes in an over. Gary Sobers, Ravi Shastri and Yuvraj Singh be damned. She works in a local theatre group but dreams of donning the India colours. Her argument is simple; if Indira Gandhi could run the nation, Kiran Bedi tame prisoners in Tihar jail and Sunita Williams land on the moon, why cannot she play cricket for the Indian team. Good question!

So to make her dream come true she turns into Veer Pratap Singh, complete with a moustache and a beard to enter the selection trials for a local club. Here she runs into (Rohan) Shahid Kapur, who has specially come down from England to help his dad's team, which has been consistently losing, get the winning edge. Dad and Mom are not on talking terms. Seems like she wanted to settle in England and he in India. So son spends most time in England

Baabarr Movie Review



Director :
Music :
Lyrics :

Starring : Ashu Trikha
Anand Raj Anand
Anand Raj Anand, Sunil Singh
Soham, Mithun Chakraborty, Urvashi Sharma, Om Puri, Sushant Singh, Mukesh Tiwari, Tinu Anand, Govind Namdeo


BAABARR is the story of crime set with Lucknow as the backdrop. It is also the story of how crime is nurtured for political gains; how vote banks are developed and protected and of the good cop and bad cop.

Shot in the by lanes of Uttar Pradesh, this crime fest is loaded with gunshots and dead bodies. You lose count after the first reel. It is also the story of a 12-year-old boy who fires his first shot to save his brothers from being killed. There on, at age 22, he roams the streets fearlessly, protecting those who pay their �protection fee' and eliminating those who refuse.

As expected, there is violence galore. But our hero Baabarr (newcomer Soham Shah) looks more a lover boy than a killing machine. There is no meanness in his eyes and his body language is that of a teenager who has just set his hands on a revolver; not that of a seasoned killer. Though heavily bearded, he is allowed to enter a school dressed in a uniform. He is there to assassinate the Chief Minister's brother. At another instance, he dresses up as the groom and sits besides the bride's father! Even when he is shot from a point-blank range with the gun placed at his temple, he survives with a scratch on his cheek. What cheek!

Though Soham has a screen presence, his choice to play the lead was a bad one. In fact, Tabrez, Baabaar's rival, portrayed menacingly by Sushant Singh has enough fire in him to give Soham a complex.

There are also shots of Baabarr's elder brother Sarfaraz (Shakti Kapoor) making frantic calls to a Mayawati lookalike from his prison cell when Baabarr has been captured. What one cannot understand is how Sarfaraz became so powerful in prison. He was sent to jail when Baabarr was 12 years old. Sarfaraz then had accidentally killed a goon in a fight, which got out of hand.

Fox Movie Review

Director :
Music :
Lyrics :
Starring : Deepak Tijori
Monty Sharma
Sandeep Nath
Sunny Deol, Arjun Rampal, Udita Goswami and Sagarika Ghatge




I don't know which publisher in the world would take a decision of going into prints after reading a manuscript within the first night itself. Also, I don't know which publisher would cosy upto the writer and call him 'Baby' without even spending a day with him. In short, the publisher has the hots for the writer, who also happens to be a well-known criminal lawyer in India. The publisher in question is Sophia (Udita Goswami), who rushes through her dialogues and hurries through her scenes as though she has a local to catch.

The lawyer in question is Arjun Kapoor (Arjun Rampal) who is sought after and known for letting criminals off the hook with his in-depth knowledge of knowing where exactly the loopholes lie in the law. After one such case, he is distressed at being cursed where he defends his rich friend who has murdered an innocent girl. Disgusted, he decides to give up his practice after creating a furore in the court stating that his friend is indeed the killer. He is held in contempt of court and his licence is revoked. Arjun decides to take off to Goa leaving behind his flourishing practice and girlfriend Urvashi (Sagarika Ghatge).

In Goa he meets with an old man Vivian McNamara who invites him home after a session of fishing in Arjun's speed boat. He gives him a manuscript of a novel he has written and urges him to read it. Arjun is hooked onto it and finishes reading it in one night. Next morning McNamara calls to inquire whether he got a chance to read a few pages. Arjun tells him that he finished the entire script and loved it. He is invited over for a lunch of Goan Fish Curry by McNamara. However, when he reaches the old man's house, there are cops outside who tell him that he is dead.

Aagey Se Right Movie Review


With a title like this, AAGE SE RIGHT, you expected to see typical Mumbai humour based on the oft-repeated direction given to a simple question asked by anyone looking for the right address or location.

However, this is a story of a lost gun and a police officer from a village who reports for duty in Mumbai. His service revolver is stolen by three teenagers out to have some fun. What follows next is Dinkar Wagmahre's (Shreyas Talpade) hunt for his service revolver. Director Indrajit Nattoji packs in too many instances and characters and somewhere along the line loses the plot.

Apart from Shreyas there is Kay Kay Menon (Janubhai) who is sent on a mission to terrorise Mumbai with bombings. However, on the first day itself, after landing in the city he is reformed, falling in love with a bar dancer, Pearl (Shenaz Treasuryvala). His big boss is not happy. He flies down himself to set the plan in motion.

There is also Raghav (Vijay Maurya) who houses Janubhai when he comes to India. With Janubhai, he too has a change of heart and ventures into the catering business. There is Mahie Gill as a TV reporter who always reaches the scene of action in time. But much of the action is centred around Dinkar and his search for his pistol.

Three - Love, Lies And Betrayal Movie Review


Only 3 question to director Vishal Pandya.

1) Is there no quality control check on the reels before the film is released? After all, one has to look into the finest details before the prints are released in the cinemas. Now this could be a fault of reels mixing up, or plain ignorance on the part of the director.

Let me explain:

Before the interval, when Anjali goes to meet Sanjay as they are about to run away from her husband to England, she is shown driving furiously in her car in the dead of night as she refuses to sign her house papers. She is shown coming out of a restaurant with Sanjay is in hot pursuit. She gets to a phone booth on the highway and screams "He has killed my husband." After the interval, it is business as usual between Anjali, her husband Rajeev and Sanjay, who lives with them as a paying guest. Confusing.

This same scene, where Anjali comes running out, this time from Leisure Club, is shown at the start. The next shot is of her and her husband in her home. Confusing.

I get a feeling; the director was trying to show the film in flashback and has fumbled with the point of contact. This is a grave error.

Kisaan Movie Review



Kisaan does not delve deep into the problems of farmers in remote India (read suicide) but scratches gingerly on the surface. It's sad, because this film had the potential of being taken rather seriously; entertaining as well as educating.

Although it briefly touches on the malady of farmer suicides and land sharks, it does not go the distance. It ends up being a 'typical Bollywood masala flick'.

The film is about Dayal Singh (Jackie Shroff), a widower, who raises his two sons Aman (Arbaaz Khan) and Jigar (Sohail Khan) singlehandedly. He faithfully toils with his sons on his ancestral land as a true farmer would. One day, his neighbour commits suicide because he had taken a meager loan and could not repay it. Also, he had given his thumb impression on a blank piece of paper to the loan sharks. That paper turned out to be his noose.

Deeply disturbed, Dayal decides to send his elder son to the city to get a degree in law. Fifteen years later, when Aman returns to his village, with a law degree in hand, he is facing a rather peculiar problem. Sohan Seth (Dalip Tahil) an industrialist wants the farmers to sell their land. He is willing to pay more than the market rate. While most agree, others are being forced. Dayal and his sons are of the opinion that no one should be forced. In one such meeting, the melee, Dayal is slapped by a local goon who has teamed up with Sohan. Being the lawyer that he is, Aman stops his dad from retaliating. However, when Jigar, who was not at the scene, learns of the incident, he exacts revenge by cutting the hand of the offender.
