I me aur main review: good idea|poor execution

I me aur main review: good idea|poor execution

Bollywood Celebden Rating: 2/5

Story : Devika Bhagat

Music: Falak Shabir ,Sachin-Jigar,Gourav Dasgupta and Raghav Sachar.
Direction: Kabir Sharma.

Story :
The story of I me aur main is about a self centered music producer(John Abraham) who lives in his girlfriend’s(Chitrangada Singh) house. Not able to withstand his selfish behavior and his commitment phobic nature , she throws him out of the house. John moves into a modest apartment where he meets bubbly stylist (Prachi Desai). Rest of the story is about how wrong he is and how his equation with his mother and sister changes.

Performances :

John Abraham who gave a wonderful performance in Race 2 has done the complete opposite in this film. As a self obsessed guy, John sometimes seems clueless. He justs smiles and frowns the whole film. Chitrangada Singh looks very beautiful in the movie and she is good in terms of acting too. But the surprise package here is Prachi Desai who fits into the character easily and delivers a splendid performance. Mini mathur and arine wahab who play john’s sister and mother bring the warmth to the screen.

Technical aspect :

Debutant Director Kabir Sharma wanted to do many things at one go but failed badly in the execution part. The screenplay has many loose ends and seems too hurried in the end. Cinematography is neat. There are 4 music directors used in this movie but not one song creates the impact. The last song was very important to the movie but it is really just sucks. The one department which has put hard work in this film is the makeup department and costumes department as everyone looks damn good in the movie.

Analysis :

The movie starts of high note but it goes bad as the film progresses.  The movie wanders into many genres but it doesn’t engage the audience at all. The director got confused between trying to give a happy ending to the movie and realistic ending to it. What we get is total mix ending which doesn’t fit at all. Though the film has its share of nice moments but on the whole it is a fail. Better screenplay and performances was badly needed to make this a sure shot entertainer. It needed more time on the story board is what i felt.

Bottomline: A good script gone bad.

Movie Review : The Attacks of 26/11

Movie Review : The Attacks of 26/11

Bollywood Celebden Rating:3.5/5
Genre: Crime
Banner:Alumbra Entertainment
Cast: Nana Patekar, Sanjeev Jaiswal, Atul Kulkarni
Directed by: Ram Gopal Varma
Produced by: Parag Sanghavi

Story:
Movie is about the Mumbai attacks that took place on 26th November 2008. The movie mainly revolves around 2 characters. one is Nana Patekar, the joint commissioner of police and the other is Ajmal Kasab(Sanjeev Jaiswal), who was the only terrorist captured after the holocaust. The movie starts from terrorists hijacking the boat and then all the attacks are shown serially and the movie ends with Ajmal Kasab getting hanged.

Artists Performances:
Nana Patekar is exceptional as a police commissioner who narrates the story from the start incident by incident in front of the higher authorities. In this movie his acting is all about subtle expressions and brilliantly written dialogues. We can see the old Nana Patekar whom we saw in great movies like Parindey and Kraathiveer. Another sensational performance came from a theater artist from Delhi Sanjeev Jaiswal, who portrayed the character of Ajmal Kasab. He did his job exceptionally well as a terrorist and delusional Muslim who believes in jihad wants to sacrifice his life for it. After his performance it is pretty much evident that Sanjeev will persist for long in Bollywood.

Technical Aspects:
Background score of the movie is very intense and always keeps you engaged to the screen; movie wouldn’t have been so gripping without such music. Maula Maula song is very compelling and suited the scenario credit goes to the composer Rushin.
Camera work of the movie is outstanding. Ram Gopal Verma, who is always known for peculiar camera work did a very good job in this movie. 16 cameras have been used for this movie and I can say all of them were perfectly placed.
Settings and Make up were also very realistic. On the whole the movie is technically very well complied.

Analysis:
Movie starts off with Nana Patekar narrating all the incidents to the higher authorities. It starts from terrorists entering Mumbai by hijacking the boat from a fishermen group and then they split up in duos and start the shootings in 4 different places. Each attack is shown very realistically backed with brilliant camera work showing the barbaric acts of the terrorists who seem merciless killing every person they see right from diseased old man to a 2 year old baby. First half ends with terrorists attacking 3 places and police being clueless.
2nd half is where police come active and deny the terrorist attack on a government hospital and capture Ajmal Kasab. Other places which were under the attack will come under control after a commander operation which is not shown in the movie. The movie’s climax is very well written by the director and is equally well enacted by Nana Patekar and Sanjeev Jaiswal.
The movie’s violence is very raw but that makes us emotionally connected to the movie unlike the violence in other masala movies where you will be disgusted.

On the whole all I can say is the movie is a must watch for every Indian. Lot of people still don’t know what kind of attacks exactly happened and how did they happen, Ram Gopal Verma never strayed from authenticity of the incidents and showcased them very intensely and responsibly. You will never feel bored while watching the movie. It’s a perfect break for the Bollywood to come out of mindless money spinning movies.

Bottom Line: Intense, Compelling and realistic……miss it at your own risk!

Bollywood actress Sridevi was driven by a female taxi driver to Design One, a fund-raising exhibition, she inaugurated in Delhi, recently. The female cabbie named Savita, works for Sakha Cabs which aims to provide safe transport for women in the capital.

Sridevi’s latest flick English Vinglish saw the actress’s reel character supporting women empowerment, where she was seen making laddoos and learning English. Sridevi was all praises for Savita.

“Like the first time how I worked with a woman director in English Vinglish, I travelled with a woman taxi driver. It was quite exciting and thrilled,” Sridevi said.

The actress added, “Her name is Savita and she was really good.”

Hinting at the changes that are taking place in terms of women empowerment, Sridevi had said in an interview, “Things are changing now and that’s the reason I’m here.”

One Direction’s Harry Styles just can’t catch a break, can he?

One Direction’s Harry Styles just can’t catch a break, can he?

First Harry gets dumped by Taylor Swift. Then One Direction gets snubbed by Mumford & Sons at the 2013 BRIT Awards. Then Harry gets a shoe to the crotch at a show in Glasgow. And now NME has voted him Villain of the Year. Yeah, kinda think Harry deserves a break for once (and I play for Team Niall too!).

Alright, NME. It’s one thing to point out the negative sides of artists but it’s also another thing to award stars for being villains, but be prepared for the fall out. Directioners are probably one of the most passionate fans out there. Like, ever.

Check out One Direction’s video for One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks) here and tell us what you think of Harry Styles winning the Villain of the Year awards in the comments section!
