Sarkar Raj

Guess..who’s back? Back again !!
Yes, RGV must be singing this after getting rave reviews for his latest factory product. This time, a tried and tasted ‘Sequel’ is here to save this maker who had got lost it since last two years. Sarkar Raj, a sequel to Sarkar is a well made, tight bound movie.

[mind it!! I will never compare this movie to its earlier part sarkar, because I treat each movie as a different one]

Unlike other sequels, this doesn’t start where earlier was ended. Story moves further with lives and times of characters. Shankar [Abhishek] moves on following Sarkar’s [Amitabh] footsteps, gets married with Tanishaa and he is on the way to become a successor to his father. But as a rule of Politics, there are always rivals. Who are there to take care of your good times turning into bad times. Anita [Aish] is owner of a power plant company. Rivals get together and get to meet Shankar and Anita for a big project in Maharashtra. All a part of big plan.
Beauty of the direction is that all these things happen just in first three scnes.

That’s RGV. No nonsense and straight action. Movie starts of very well with these line of story. Even a title sequence, is a signature RGV. A overhead crane shot, long shot of a common road, and camera following a car going into Sarkar’s home. Camera work is awesome, as earlier good movies like Company, Satya and Bhoot.

Movie goes further with introduction to Sarkar’s guru living at Thakurwadi, where power plant is going to be built. These outdoor sequences are also picturised very well. The confrontation between Sarkar and his guru is really good. Dialogues are well written, we can see spark onto screen.

The movie goes further [u know! I don’t like to reveal story in review]. And it goes smoothly. None of the scene in the movie, where you feel that this is a useless scene. Screenplay is very well written. Camera and lighting is damn good. Many scenes in home of sarkar, are having lighting arrangement as a morning sunlight coming into room. Only faces are shown talking to each other. One scene I can remember is- Sarkar talking about his elder son Vishnu [Kay Kay] whom Shankar killed in last part. Sarkar is thinking that where was he mistaken about his own son, and Shankar assuring him there wasn’t his mistake. The scene really has got power performance and camerawork. This trick is used in many crucial scenes of movie. Dusky lighting rays and shadows and faces. This is what Ramu has mastered.

Action sequences are a few, but they are also well executed. There is a one in jungle, with foggy atmosphere. Technically, its always a treat watching Ramu’s flicks. Background score is so good, but 3 songs are a much for this kind of movie. The Govinda theme-revisited, gives you goosebumps.

Talking about performances, everyone is as good as ever. At least, Mr Bachchan didn’t disappointed me this time. I am not a fan of him, but I liked his new innings after Mohabbatein, but again he got dud, doing useless movies including Sholay remake, and featuring in tit bit roles. This one is very balanced performance. Similarly Abhishek repeats his Sarkar performance. Not much improvement than that, but above average than that. Surprisingly, I liked Aishwarya in this !! Actually I was never a fan of her too. But I did like Shabd, only. This time she has done a good job in this tit bit type role. After all, it’s a RGV movie, where heroines are just filler. But still she manages to leave an impact as a businesswoman.

One thing worth mentioning here is, RGV has not tried what everyone is keen onto. To cash-on Abhi-Aish. No useless things are shown between both of them. I extremely liked climax of the movie, where the plot gets revealed in front of her by Sarkar. That is a goosebumps moment. Also setting a stage for yet another installment of movie, yes a third part. Be prepared!! Supriya Pathak is very likable. A typical mother, yet good performance. One scene between the two-Sarkar and his wife, is so sweet. Supriya was as likable as in Sarkar she was. Bad guys [I cant remember name of any of them] are always rocking in RGV movies. Victor Banerjee [as father of Anita] also does a good job as a business tycoon [though he has a 10 minutes performance].

Overall, its an engaging movie which sticks you to your seats. A good affair to be with, for 2.5 hours. I would like to rate is 3 stars. because last 10 minutes are a little bit [little means liiiiiiiiiitle…….bit] stretched and a bad song [which I didn’t liked, but this kind of movie can’t have Soorila songs, mind it!]. So that’s only my opinion.
Go watch it! Now it’s a good start of the year for RGV. While he will be offering ‘Contract’ [an underworld movie-what Ramu has mastered] in July, and ‘Phoonk’ [a superstitious thriller-again his territory] in August. And still many more…….

U Me aur Hum - Movie Review

If you like mushy mushy romance, sweet words, beautiful imaginative world, then this movie is for you. You shouldn’t miss it. That’s U Me aur Hum. Its about both of ‘Us’. Not individuality. A really good effort by first time director Ajay Devgan.

The movie goes on a storyline of a couple, meeting, getting married and facing reality written in fate. Ajay [Ajay] & Piya [Kajol] meets on a cruise. Ajay is a psychiatrist. And a happy go lucky guy wooing and partying with his friends, two couples. Piya is a waitress. Living in her dreamy world, when she gets time after serving people. Both get along and things goes on. Both get married, and twist in tale starts when Piya gets affected by Alzheimer. A disease in which patient forgets frequently even normal things. How does the couple face this situation is the second half.

Movie starts off with a very beautiful title sequence. Graphics so cute, clouds and sky. So sweet title song sung by Shreya Ghoshal. Really good song, words and theme. Though Vishal Bhardwaj has disappointed me in this flick, [only two songs are good]. The movie shows Ajay in 50 something age, trying to woo old woman that s kajol. And tells this story. [why this kind of flashback?? See for yourself].
And then beautiful………….aerial shots of sea and cruise. A very beautiful ride for eyes, seriously each shot on cruise is filmed so beautifully that we wish to be there. Helicopter cameras are used for aerial shots when the two falls in love. All those moments are picturised so mushily. Kajol’s dreamy world is so nice. Also in second half, white look is awesome. Kajol looks ravishing when she falls in love. Ajay does his stud role perfect. The song ‘Jee Le’ with salsa beats is also good. ‘dil dhakda’ and ‘phatte’ songs are total waste, and causes movie to be dragged. Very poor, vishal. Dialogues are always a highlight for Ajay. Here , its ‘U know something……’. Is a catch line for Ajay. Which gradually goes with Kajol. All dialogues are worth between Ajay & Piya.

Acting dept. is always on a hype, when these two actors get along. Ajay and Kajol performs with great chemistry. Kajol is a scene stealer overhere. Be it in first half, as a girl falling in love, or in second half, a married woman, getting into tricky situation, getting Alzheimer. She is always my favorite. Ajay also does justify his character. But together as ‘Hum’ they both are a treat to watch. Also tear jerker. There are a few scenes when u feel like crying. I wont tell the situation, but the scene of Ajay, drinking with friends, and telling jokes, and telling he is so selfish. And then two couple [his friends] changes their mind. The scene is so emotional. The best one among the two scenes. The second scene is the climax of course. Also the title song, U Me Aur Hum, sung by Vishal, is so much in place. So emotional also. This is the genre I just love about movies. Where I can get lump in my throat.

A must see, if you are in love. Must see if you are just married. Must see if you think your married life is going into hell. Overall Must see for all couples.

And people like me too !! who loves all mushy mushy sweet sweet imaginative world.

How many stars I would rate?? That’s 3.5 out of Five. [just because of draggy first half and bad 2 songs]

Krazzy 4 - Movie Review

I don’t want to waste my time writing review for this movie. It’s a disappointment. Though the movie is good in parts, doesn’t have any vulgur comedy [which is a trend right now], deals with a good issue of humanity, but it looks like a product made in a Munnabhai mould. Though, You can hardly laugh at moments.
I found rajpal yadav always as an eyesore. God knows, but I don’t like him. His fat humour. But still he managed to make me laugh at SOME moments. Irrfan Khan is I always look forward to. And he is good as always. Arshad is OK. Suresh Menon is good too.

But the problem with the movie is, it just can’t bind you with the story. Viewer cant get ‘into’ the story. Movie couldn’t connect with the viewer. Things happen fast and movie gets over. The storyline is of one day only. So that it makes two hour long movie [a relief]. A nice item song wasted on Rakhi sawant. SRK rocks as usual in Break free. But after all the hoopla of copying jingle of Sony ericssion ad, that song was now out of my fav list. Though it has been filmed well. SRK looks koool. Juhi chawla is also wasted in her trademark kind of role ‘bechari nari’.

Only good parts are ‘break free’ with SRK and ‘break free’ with Hrithik.

Stars ??? 2 out of 5. [Break free] I had expected so much with Rakesh’s camp. This is not that. Sorry.

Shaurya-Movie Review

Two of the finest actors, get together in one film. That was my first reason to see this movie. Rahul Bose and Kay Kay Menon. The Actors. That too, in confrontation of each other. That is a not to miss view.
Shaurya, is story revolving around Javed Khan, an army officer, who has killed his commander and a court martial is going to happen to him. Rahul Bose and Javed Jafary plays lawyers in army. Rahul Bose is playing, as always, Sophisticated silly boy. Javed is a quite surprise, playing a serious role. Minisha Lamba is a journalist of Dainik Bhaskar in Srinagar (!!!!), where all things are taking place. She is good actually. Kay Kay is Brigadier Pratap. In one of the good roles of his career maybe. Seema Biswas is also there, playing mother of accused, Javed Khan, in a forgettable role.

Starting sequence is that shootout itself. Where Javed Khan shoots his commander. Then movie goes along with Rahul Bose and Javed jafary’ lives. Which is the weakest part of movie. Though introduction scene of Rahul doing a bungee jump, is nice, but all scenes are somewhat weak. The plot gets weaker. Till things go tighter when both friends got transferred to Srinagar from Bombay, and are handed over case to fight opposite each other. Rahul is a happy go lucky guy, who suddenly has got such responsibility of saving someone’s life going into hell. He portrays that very well. Javed Khan played by Deepak Dobriyal is also damn good performance. Who keep mum through whole procedure, to find out why, there is a good climax.

Brigadier Pratap, played by Kay Kay has a powerful role. Often viewer gets tricky whether to consider him as a negative role or a powerful main lead. He has got only a few, but power scenes. Including his introduction shot. He shines in all scenes.

Procedures and investigations go places, and finally movie reaches high point that is a court martial. Rahul Bose shows a good act. But when he finally calls for Kay Kay to investigate, Kay kay steals the scene. The climax is so powerful, the court is totally silent, not even background music is there. Its like we are watching a live one. Kay kay’s final speech leaves everyone speechless. He just rule the screen, that is the scene, to watch a movie for. Just see the range of KayKay, from Honeymoon Travels to Metro to Hazaro Khwahishen aisi to this. He is the finest actor. Rahul Bose looks small against him in that scenc- though he is in positive role.

Overall, it’s a good movie, maybe inspired by A Few Good Man [I haven’t seen that], but some loopholes are there, making the movie only watchable. Worth to remember is only act of Kay Kay, though everyone has acted perfectly. Minisha is a good journo, over priety in Lakshya. Songs are just there, love ballad is good. Three songs, a relief. Care has been taken to show Army life, atmosphere, and uniforms. Those things are quite perfect. Sometimes viewer feels that this is not Srinagar, but that is forgivable keeping in mind the situation of the state.
Watch it for Kay Kay…… and Rahul too !!
