Son Of Sardaar review

Son Of Sardaar ,SOS, directed by Ashwani Dhir(Atithi Tuj Kab Jaoge) produced by Ajay Devgun and music by Himesh Reshammiya starring Ajay Devgan , Sonakhsi Sinha , Sanjay Dutt , Juhi Chawla in lead role.

SOS is a remake of telugu movie Maryada Ramanna by Rajmouli which was also remade in kannada and bengali .

                                                  

All the character were well played by various actors. Ajay Devgan's performance is good but not very good. He is playfull, strong, romantic all in extremes . Sonakshi Sinha is playing her stereotype role from Dabangg  and Rowdy Rathore. Few characters that stand out were Juhi Chawla , Tanuja and Mukul Dev. Juhi Chawla adds warmth to her character , whereas Tanuja is spot on with her performance.

Story starts with Ajay Devgun(Jassi) is working with Salman Khan and his uncle in UK and he has to come back to India to claim his ancestral land .He meets Sonakshi Sinha (Sukh) on his way which leads him to her home as guest . Where he finds that Sukh belongs to the same family who wants him dead because family feud and all he can do to remain alive is to be in same house with sukh and family. This is all about the story.

The first half of the movie is full on with comedy , south Indian style fighting scenes in short full masala .

whereas the second half is completely opposite flat jokes , lost story makes it hard to survive this second half.

If you want to go out and watch a movie this Diwali season , definitely go for SOS.

Condition apply : Do not expect any interesting story  so do not use your brains .

So let yourself loose and relax , enjoy the light comedy of SOS (atleast the first part of it).

I would rate this movies as 3/5 . 

Hope it helps.

Skyfall review

 

The film was directed by Sam Mendes and written by John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, Skyfall is the twenty-third spy film in the James Bond series

Cast from left to right  :

Ben Whishaw as Q
Rory Kinnear as Bill Tanner
Bérénice Marlohe as Sévérine
Daniel Craig as James Bond
Naomie Harris as Eve moneypenny
Albert Finney as Kincade
Judi Dench as M
Javier Bardem as Raoul Silva

The bond franchise is back with a bang. Casino royale was a land mark bond film and the next installment quantum of solace was a bit of a let down. With Skyfall, bond is back with a bang. Bringing in Oscar winning director Sam Mendes was a stroke of genius, being a British director he understands that the script and story are the heart and soul of the film.

There is a stunning opening sequence which tops the one in Casino Royale. Shot in Istanbul, turkey it involves a bike chase and hand to hand combat on a moving train.Also there is a reference to you only live twice with the absence of bond for a while in the movie and then he comes back. Javier Bardem brilliantly plays the bond Villain. He plays a futuristic Bond villain a computer hacker specializing in cyber terrorism. He gives a very unhinged performance and is easily the most memorable Bond villain of recent times. His opening sequence, where he takes a long walk towards bond giving a speech is chilling.

A new Q is introduced in this film played by Ben wishaw, who is considerably much younger than his previous counterparts. All he gives Bond is a gun and a radio, in a world where technology is everywhere this makes a lot of sense.

What is at the heart of the story is the relationship between Bond and M. Ralph fieness character at a point in the film asks Bond that why did he come back. The answer to this question is what drives the film. Both Bond and Silva (Javier Bardem) share a very personal relationship with M, this is a very interesting aspect of the film. Even while you get all the spectacular set pieces and great action what sets this bond film apart from the others is that it has a very coherent central idea.

This is a very British Bond film, with almost the entire second act shot in England. The film steps back into Bonds past in the second act. Without giving too much away, Bond trying to protect M and Defending all that he has left from his ancestry is unlike any climax of a Bond film.

On the technical aspects of the film it is beautifully shot and very well edited. M played by Judi Dench completely overshadows the bond girls and gives a remarkable performance. Overall this is arguably the best Bond film yet .
After reading the review do you think there is any need to give stars  ?? :)

Ajab Gajabb Love review

After making the two sleekly directed hits Dhoom and its sequel Dhoom 2 (Lets not remember Mere Yaar Ki Shadi Hai  and Kisnap) Sanjay Gadhvi is back with Ajab Gajabb Love 

One line story one rich boy assumes another identity (a gareeb one ) to win over the girl, his whole family puts up a comical act for his sake.

Father, Business tycoon Yashwardhan's role suddenly changes from cracking deals in crores to selling kelas. Mother, gives up her 'Manish Malhotra creations' for the buddhi-blind-bechari who is in her words very down market , his brother plays an alcoholic, and bhabhi turns into a bai .

All this because the girl hates every thing rich , but wear fancy cloths, bags and accessories.

Now enters girl's bhai , oopps twin brothers Karan-Arjun, played by Arjun Rampal. His comic-timing is a revelation. His double-act entertains and adds energy to this comedy.

Arshad Warsi in a cameo, tries to add southern tadka with his accent, but he doesn't do much beyond that, really.

The star-performer, undoubtedly, is Kirron Kher; not that it's a surprise. She overacts convincingly (she's supposed to be a filmi Maa), and her over-the-top histrionics are hilarious. 

This movie gives you very few laughs and so called romantic scenes are not romantic at all.

Movies gives an impression of an over budgeted college drama project.

Movie is another effort by Vasu Bhagnani effort to revitalise his son Jackky's directionless career.

I can't give this movie a 1/5 so I would rather give it a 2/5

LOOPER review

Director Rian Johnson and actor Joseph Gordon Levitt come back together after the cult classic BRICK.A mind bending sci-fi noir film which pulls you in its world and does not let you escape long after you have left the theater.
The film also stars Bruce Willis (twelve monkeys) and Emily Blunt (the young Victoria). Willis plays the older Joseph Levitt in the film.

Pierce Gagnon , a very young child actor plays Emily Blunt's son and is a revelation. Joseph’s character says at the start that time travel has been invented in the future and is immediately deemed illegal and is only available in black market. Mafia use loopers in the past to assassinate their targets without leaving any trace ,all they have to do is send the target person 30 years back to the looper .Joseph is getting rich and life is good, until when Joseph is sent back his own future self as the target, all hell breaks loose. He has been asked to close his own loop by the mafia and this is not acceptable to his future self.
One of the stand out scene of the film is when both the present and the future Joseph sit and have a chat on the diner table.But this film is more than just a time travel film, it talks about how our decisions can alter our future to a great extent, every decision we make has a chain reaction and can change the course of history. Rian Johnson who has also written the story, pays homage to films like the terminator and twelve monkeys, but is successful in making an original sci-fi noir film which is cerebral as well as a great action film. Giving too much plot details would be robbing the audience of the great experience that this film is. The art direction, cinematography, makeup (Gordon levitt is at his best) and acting is top notch. It features a wonderfully multifaceted and intelligent story which rewards patience and concentration with a heart stopping ending.
Beside the main theme movie has its light moments. If full on action movie is not your cup of tea don't worry a sweet love story and dark humor will keep you interested till the end and if the company is good , i think rest you can bare
I would rate this movie 4/5

student of the year review

SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Karan’s Dharma Productions present Student of the Year (SOTY)

Want to have nice time out with friends ........ then go and watch student of the year .
It is an unsaid command , it is a sweet love story of a school (so typically Karan Johar ) with two super hot male actors one is rich brat (Rohan Nanda) with father issues another is middle class super confident boy (abhimanyu singh) again with family issues and then enters stylish shanaya again a rich brat ,with cute face she fits perfectly into the character.

Shanaya and Rohan nanda are introduced as a couple from the starting and when there is a third entry in the movie what can we expect ........ exactly a love triangle.
Movie has Karan Johar written all over it nice big "clean" school.  Two very famous students as a couple then a third very good looking actor enters and complicates things.

The next thing that movie rotates around is a competition STUDENT OF THE YEAR for which all the students compete and as expected due to friendship one friend lets the other one win. And then again the other friend refuse to take the prize just to let down his father.

There are my light moments but you will enjoy movie if you go with your friends and do not use your brain.

You appetite for Karan Johar's gloss style will decide how much you like this movie

I would rate this movie as 3/5 stars

english vinglish review

                                         

 After taking a break of 15 years, Sridevi has returned with the role of a housewife in ‘English Vinglish’ and after watching the film, I have just one word for the actress - FLAWLESS! 

Sridevi's acting in the movie is just amazing. She is in the role of a maharashtraian housewife "Shahi" who is passionate about making ladoos and sell them as well. She is very low on confidence as she can not speak  English, due to which she has to face hell as her husband has no respect for her and her 7th grade school going daughter is ashamed to with introduce her as her mother.

A turning point comes to her life when she goes to New York to help her sister with her niece’s wedding. And grabs an opportunity to learn speaking English in mere 4 weeks and gain her duly deserved respect. In no time Shashi became the most passionate student in the class. She watches English movies during night religiously reads paper as her self imposed homework, all to improve her English reading, writing and speaking skills.during this time periods she finds this very handsome Frenchman attracted to her despite of her simple personality. She achieves her goal as she delivered a speech on the wedding day of her niece.

Many middle age women can relate to the character, as they face the same problem as she did with there kids and husband as they consider them as shame just because they can not speak English and are very low on self steam.

Movie teaches a beautiful lesson that you can do anything if you show required amount of dedication for it.

But the movie did not hold my interest as an audience, after my college when I go for a movie, I expect it to be refreshing. I personally prefer either comedy or a very "strong" movie.

This movie do have some comedy scenes but it can not be called as refreshing. Movie became very predictable specially after the interval.

I would rate this movie as 2/5 stars that is just for good concept and Sridevi.
