De Dana Dan Movie Review

Priyadarshan is in roaring form. After a jerky start, he goes full throttle to amuse, tickle and literally get you to have a blast in DE DANA DAN shot entirely in Singapore. There`s nothing Einsteinique in the script and the plot revolves around a kidnapping gone wrong and a case of mistaken identities. The kidnappers, Suniel Shetty and Akshay Kumar need the money to start life anew with their respective girlfriends, Sameera Reddy and Katrina Kaif. Even the dog in his memsaab`s house is better looked after than he. So Akshay, who is saddled with a job as driver-cum- man Friday of Archana Puran Singh, is at his wits ends trying to please her. He is stuck for life at this job because his father, who died suddenly, had taken a loan to pay for his education. He now has to work to repay the loan his father had taken.

Paresh Rawal is a conman who borrows money from one, to return to another. Chasing him is a cop. Tinnu Anand is against his daughter`s relationship with Akshay, while Sameera`s dad is conned into getting her married to Paresh`s son. There`s also Shakti Kapoor, who is on a marrying spree; Neha Dhupia, who is his latest fancy and Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav and Asrani plot together to up the laugh quotient.

The comedy is purely situational and there are several such situations that have you in splits. In one scene, Rajpal Yadav who plays a waiter, is shown tasting the alcohol in the glasses and topping it by eating a few snacks before giving it to a guest. A riot. Another has Johnny Lever piling up people on a bed after snuffing them out with Chloroform. Hilarious.

Radio Movie Review

Sonal Sehgal (Pooja) and Snenaz Treasuryvala (Shanaya) are the two actresses who will benefit most from RADIO - LOVE ON AIR. For these two, its showcase time with a good show reel and both put their best foot forward at the expense of Himesh Reshammiya. This singer-cum-composer-cum-songwriter-cum-actor had put up a decent performance in KARZZZZ after his disastrous acting debut with AAP KA SUROOR. With RADIO, he catches the wrong frequency.

There`s more of commentary than actual action. Every move is first narrated to the viewer. Things then take place. This is where I think the director has failed miserably. You can feed the viewer once, but constantly opening up the act with a commentary and then continuing to do so is in bad taste, almost a slap on the viewers` face.

The hit song `Maan ka radio...` which has been making waves on air for the last few months does not get even a decent footage... just bits of it... I mean the whole song is never played in one go for the viewer to enjoy.

The most glaring faux pas is the character Jhandulal (Paresh Rawal) who impersonates Ghanta Singh from Radio One 94.3 fm. And they keep saying Radio Mirchi... It`s Hot!!! Ghanta Singh is this cool dude who makes calls to unsuspecting people inquiring about the services they have to offer, while all the time actually pulling a fast one on them.

Eighty percent of the movie is shot showing R J Vivan (Himesh) in the Radio Mirchi Studios. All they could have done was pick up a hit segment from their own radio station. Considering there was no genius in the plot, they could have upped the USP of their most famous RJ, the very eccentric but lovable, Jeeturaj.

As for the story, Vivan is an RJ working with Radio Mirchi. He has just divorced his wife Pooja. Shanaya enters his life quite by accident and that?s where things get complicated.

Paa 2009 Movie Review

ZANJEER broke the shackles after 13 consecutive flops. AGNEEPATH was an experiment that had a class of its own. BLACK broke all barriers and now comes PAA. Let`s give a standing ovation to the man who dominated the 80s and 90s and continues to surprise with his talent and willingness to subject himself to roles that require make-up for a complete change in appearance. Mr Amitabh Bachchan, for you Sir... the applause refuses to die off...

Playing a 13-year-old with a rare disease which causes him to age before time, Amitabh is class personified. Displaying an amazing flair and getting into character is like a cake-walk for him as Progeria (the disease he suffers from) ravages his tiny body. A special child with special abilities, Auro immediately makes a special place in your heart as you follow his short and brilliant life.

No self pity, just full of masti a kid his age would be. Auro has friends who form his support system apart from his mother (Vidya Balan) and his grandma who he lovingly calls `Bum`

R Balakrishnan (aka R Balki) has tackled a very complex subject and has brought out the beauty of relationships in a very forceful manner without even one relationship in the movie going over the top. Be it the relationship between Vidya and Auro; Auro and his Bum, Auro and his friends or even Amol Arte (Abhishek Bachchan) and his dad (Paresh Rawal). Though centered around Auro and his disorder, Balki manages to draw all relationships to the fore.

Balki also manages to throw a positive light on sticky issues. Although he gets the point of the over-enthusiastic media, use of condoms, abortion and the political angle in, he does not sound preachy.

Christien Tinsley and Dominie Till turn a 66-year-old-plus Amitabh to a very believable 13-year-old with their prosthetic make-up. And Amitabh, with his walking, talking and body language draws you even closer to Auro creating that Aura. Nothing flashy. He just delivers his lines like any, normal 13-year-old would.

Really, this movie is all about Auro and a kid that explodes from Amitabh. Vidya Balan is sedate and super in her role as the caring single mother. Abhishek is solid as the politician who will not let anything come between his dreams and Auro`s friend, Vishnu is a treat.

Not much was revealed of the story before the release and I too will not spoil it for you by saying much. All I can say is that the end will have you reaching out for the kleenex.

Yes, Abhishek is his Paa. Yes, it`s a rare father-son-son-father story. Yes, I think the makers should also consider putting a proposal to making PAA tax free. Also every paa should take his family for this movie.

Rocket Singh - Salesman of the Year Movie Review

Two years after delivering a hit on the hockey fields with CHAK DE INDIA, Shimit Amin returns, this time with business as the field of play. Yet again, he delivers a product with finesse. ROCKET SINGH appeals, endears, and warms the cockles of one`s heart. Ranbir Kapoor is in that phase of his innings right now, where he can do no wrong. He is, in sporting parlance, what you call `in the Zone`. Anything he does just shines. He has that uncanny knack of `becoming` the character, body language and all... He is such a joy to watch. Ranbir is Harpeet Singh Bedi, a youngster who just manages to scrape through his B.Com exams and one who is not interested in CAT. He wants to work as a salesman. He lands a job as a trainee at AYS Computers and within a few days is blasted for being a `Mahatma in the jungle.` He complains against an employee of a firm who buys bulk orders from AYS because he is asking for his `Cut`. AYS boss and their sales manager see red. He is insulted and asked to make just `cold calls` from his desk. Things take a turn for the worse when he is humiliated further by his boss. This, when all he wanted to do was tell his boss that he was using his office space to start his own company, Rocket Sales Corp. Slowly he wins the hearts of four of his colleagues including the Sales Manager to buck up his sales order, which by now is on the upswing. Rocket Sales Corp steals the orders right from AYS`s noses. They offer round-the-clock service and at a very competitive rate with minimal profit margins. Flustered, his boss offers to buy his company for Rs 60 lakhs. This call is made from within the same office and his boss does not know whom he is speaking with. To cut the long story short, their game is up when the boss makes a call to the MD of Rocket sales and finds that the phone rings in his own office. Harpreet is forced to sign on a document, which waives off his right as an owner. But, this is not a win for his boss as he soon realizes that none of Rocket Sales` clients are now willing to do business with AYS even though both the companies have merged. And therein lies the business fundas of Rocket Sales Corp. Shimit takes a neutral view of the business field and lays bare the employee-boss relationship as well as the `percentage party` where the customer is the scapegoat. In the final analysis, as Harpreet tells his boss, it is not about driving your employees nuts to achieve sales target but by understanding them. Shazahn Padamsee who makes her debut has the talent to come through. However, she has to work hard on her dialogue delivery and body language. Ditto Gauahar Khan who too makes her debut. Prem Chopra as Ranbir`s grandfather finally gets a role of substance, suited to his age and he does a wonderful job. A complete shift from the crass acts he has been made to do of late. The Sales Manager shines through, as well as the guy who assembles computers. Both characters are cleverly crafted. Dunno if ticket sales for this film will rocket, but I strongly recommend ROCKET SINGH

Review of movie 3 Idiots

It has to be the most idiotic start to such a fascinating movie. You wonder where the movie is heading to when an aircraft returns to base after a passenger suffers a heart attack in the feeblest performance ever. But Rajkumar Hirani soon gets his act and cast together to deliver a stunning product. Education is not about success; it`s about pursuing excellence and doing what you are passionate about. In the end, success will chase you. This oft-repeated dialogue is beautifully portrayed in the last frame. I have never laughed so hard before leaving a theatre. Hirani actually manages to show success chasing you. Hilarious. Bhaiyya, All is well!

Take a bow Mr Hirani. 3 IDIOTS is a fantastic film, one that every parent, teacher and most importantly students will dig into. Like the jaadu ki jhappi in Munnabhai MBBS, `All Is Well`, will soon be a craze across the nation. Hirani this time looks at the education system. The staid, mechanical ways in which education is imparted where students are like machines. The setting is a prestigious engineering college and at the centre of it all is Aamir Khan, a genius student who likes to see some fun injected in the lectures.

Hirani touches on student suicides; parents pushing students into a field they are not keen on; students silently trying to excel in something they are not passionate about; overzealous students who learn by rote without knowing the meaning of what is going into their head, and also human emotions of how when a friend fails, you feel sad but when the same friend tops in college, jealousy takes hold. All these aspects and more are beautifully woven into the screenplay to sock you right under your chin without sounding preachy. There is a twist too, to spice up things at the interval.

To get to the story, Farhan Qureshi (R Madhavan) Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi) and Rancho (Aamir Khan) are three inseparable buddies. The film starts with Farhan and Raju getting some info on Rancho who has gone missing after their graduation. It`s been (5-10) years now. It then moves to flashback. Where did Rancho disappear? Who was he really and what is he up to now? These questions keep you intrigued throughout the movie.

Lyricist Swanand Kirkire needs special mention. His line from the hit song All Is Well: `Murgi kya jaane ande ka kya hoga, life milegi ya tawe pe fry hoga...` and other songs are quite a revelation. The music by Shantanu Moitra is excellent and dialogues by Hirani and Abhijit Joshi very inspiring. Although Hirani does not take pains to establish the friendship between the three, you overlook that fact because there is lot of meat in the screenplay. The film has been inspired from Chetan Bhagat`s novel Five Point Someone.

Now, for the performances. Santa Khan has done it again. Three Christmas hits in a row: TAARE ZAMEEN PAR, GHAJNI and now 3 IDIOTS. It`s sad, that like Santa, Aamir comes only once a year. But like excited kids, Aamir has created an air of expectancy for his audience for his next visit. Ho Ho Ho... he is surely going to have Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra jingle all the way to the bank.

To knock off almost 20 years and pass off as a 24-year-old is a herculean task, one, which the diminutive Khan does with aplomb. Watch him to believe it. I mean, you do not see any persona of the Aamir of old in any angle, in any shot, in any dialogue delivery. A complete, brand new Aamir. You look for flaws but find none. Truly, a mark of a genius. The odd way in which he walks with his feet slightly apart is a delight.

Sharman Joshi is excellent too. Madhavan could have taken his role more seriously and tried to fit in as a college student. Kareena, though does not have much of a role makes an impact while Mona Singh who makes her big screen debut does not get enough scope to show her talent. The one who steals the show with Aamir is Omi, the over zealous student who mugs his way to the top. This character is simply hilarious. In fact, it`s a serious focus on how most students actually are today.

Boman Irani as the college head for once is not loud and over-the-top. A clever make-up and twist of the tongue is what sets him apart from his other roles, which have become monotonous.

There are many scenes that will grip you and others that will have you laughing silly. Like the last scene and the scene at Teacher`s Day when Rancho changes the script.

Go watch it... I`d say please watch it... The duo of Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani now has Santa Khan for company.

Review of movie Raat Gayi Baat Gayi

One very drunk night, eight pegs down the throat and next morning, the previous night`s shenanigan is a blur. What really happened? Did he really cheat on his wife? This is the dilemma faced by Rahul (Rajat Kapoor) as he wakes up groggy and tries to piece together the party that rocked. To make matters worse, his wife Mitali (Iravita Harshe), who too was at the party, is distant and upset. `Men are dogs,` she barks to her friend, which confuses the plot further. So what really happened? Does she know more that what Rahul knows or does Rahul have to find Sonia (Neha Dhupia), the girl he was pursuing at the party to know the truth? Director Saurabh Shukla ventures on this very hilarious journey as he helps Rahul piece his worst nightmare together. Helping him are his friends Saxena (Dalip Tahil) and Amit (Vinay Pathak). Cleverly woven in flashback with some crisp editing, Shukla manages a decent comic thriller, the end that cannot be told here for fear of spoiling the sting in the tale. Rajat as the Casanova husband dons another hat and comes up trumps. Iravati Harshe as the confused wife who seems to know the truth is excellent. Dalip and `Dasvidaniya Pathak` are to the mark while Navnit Nishan as Dalip`s loud `over-the-top` wife is endearing. It is only as the film comes to a close that you see the quality of her character. Neha Dhupia is slowly but steadily climbing the ladder of success with one solid performance after another. After DE DANA DAN where she played the cool hooker, she has another similar role where she does full justice. Tone, tenor and temperament... just perfect. The story is simple but the end, when it unravels, will have you believing in love even more. The night`s over, but the memories linger. For More Reviews Click here.
