"Happy New Year" Hindi Movie Review :(


Now , that's precisely the same confused and wtf expression me and my family had in the lift after watching Happy New Year .

Once up on a time in bollywood , Shahrukh and Farah Khan were a deadly combination for a bollywood masala flick and MHN & OSO were perfect examples . Farah Khan was thought to be the replacement for Manmohan Desai and well I still ponder up on what happened to her after OSO & before TMK .

The opening fight sequence where Shah rukh rukh khan exposes his wax like 6 pack .. sorry sorry .. forces his 6 pack on the audience . Yes , the fight sequence has no relevance to the story apart from showcasing his 6 pack . Redchillies has done a tremendous job on that .

Shahrukh gathers a bunch of people who they proudly phrase as losers for a diamond heist in dubai . Now , I know abhi baby is one for real but didn't expect the others to become one after acting in this movie . Jackie Shroff wrongly implicates Anupam Kher (in an emotional appearance ) and sends him to jail there by stealing all the diamonds . Well , Anu ji is the brain behind the Shalimar Safe (Godrej are you listening? ) and Boman Irani is his friend cum assistant cum what not . Sonu is an ex army and he joins anupam in his mission Shalimar . Now shahrukh wants a revenge and how ?? That forms the rest of the story . There is nothing good in the story to discuss about .

What I hated the most is ANURAG KASHYAP'S guest appearance as a gay judge . yukku pitaji ...

Well Farah , please take a break and come up with something which might not be sensible but atleast engaging yaar . Well , I would applaud you for taking in your baby brother in a guest appearance mocking himself but mocking the oscar award jury and putting someone as modi ji is not commendable at all . You don't have any right to make fun of any of the above .  

After watching the Trailer , I personally thought that this movie is about a con job on the notes of ocean's eleven or italian job  but later on i thought it's about dance competition and heist story or a revenge saga .. but after watching the movie I concluded that it's neither of the above .. it's so damn confusing movie ... If at all there is somebody who has been conned , yes it's we the audience .

P.S. I Want the box office to declare a film hit based on the number of tickets sold and not the amount it collected . This way then it would be genuine to consider a movie hit or blockbuster or an average or a flop for that fact .

HAPPY NEW YEAR - WISHES GONE WRONG :)

Kaththi Tamil Movie Review :(

"Kaththi" Tamil Movie Review :)

Remember the decade old Ad where a mother comes running in a Railway Station yelling to her daughter "Kulikkade Kulikkade " ( Don't bathe , Don't bathe) ..

If now she happens to have watched Kaththi she would be yelling "Paarkade Paarkade " ( don't watch don't watch )

A R Murugadoss seems to be following a trait of giving a hit then a flop then a hit and then a flop again . The point which he has taken to highlight that of the farmer's plight in our country is commendable but weaving a story around a thin plot and because the plot is not strong adding Vijay and that too in a double role is not commendable .

What works - Highlighting the Farmer's plight , The coin fight scene and hmmm maybe the selfie pulla song .

What doesn't work - Vijay in dual role ain't necessary at all , comedy is a miss , Samantha's role seems to be repetitive , average music , average fights , weak screenplay .

There are lot of loopholes logic wise to the extent that we can't even ignore it in the name of cinematic liberties .

Watch it once if you want otherwise wait for the telecast on jaya tv .

Kaththi - Not sharp enough . Tamil la sollanam na MOKKA ;)
