Bajrangi Bhaijaan Hindi Movie Review :)



Bajrangi Bhaijaan - People who had been complaining that Salman Khan's movies doesn't have a story , Sallu Bhai replied to them with this movie . Matlab Moo Thod Jawab dee hien bhai ne .  Now , suck it up people .

 Bajrangi Bhaijaan has a good story by Vijayendra Prasad , father of SS. Rajamouli .

BB has a very good strong story which doesn't require Bhai to show his muscles or take out his shirt and show us his six pack . This is the story of Munni (Shahida , because her mom is a super fan of Shahid Afridi ) who is speech impaired and she is from Pakistan She gets lost in India when her mom brings her to Hazrat Nizamuddin Darga in delhi . Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi aka fondly called as Bajrangi happens to meet this girl and the rest of the story is how Bhai takes all the efforts to reunite munni with her parents in pakistan. You know all this from the trailer itself .

There are no spectacular fights to impress bhai's fans but who will complain after watching this movie . The strong points of this movie are the dialogues by Kabir Khan & additional dialogues by Kausar Munir and brilliant performances by Harshali Malhotra (A brilliant find ) , Salman Khan & Nawazuddin Siddiqui and supporting cast by Sharad Saxena , Meher vij .

The music is a let down compared to Bhai's other movies . The screen play is top notch .
You should watch out those scenes where bhai assumes that Munni is a Hindu Brahmin and how later he comes to know that she is not brahmin , not a hindu , not a indian at all . These scenes are hilarious . The scenes at the India Pakistan border where bhai doesn't want to cross the border without the pakistan army's permission is little over done but it's not a sore point in the movie .

There are lots of other scenes and dialogues which will keep you engaged all through . The climax is little predictable and also it will leave you teary eyed before you leave the theatre .

Sorry forgot to mention about the special appearance by Kareena Kapoor Khan . I was wondering why she was looking like a muslim with eye full of kajal and no bindhi when she belongs to an orthodox brahmin family . Sharad Saxena is shown as an orthodox person btw so her characteristics doesn't gel well .

For a change Pakistan is shown in a very good light . It will make us think "haan wahan pe bhi achche log rehte hien " types . Let it be Nawazuddin Siddiqui as chand nawab (reporter inspired by a youtube video where the reporter tries to report a news and people keep crossing him and he gets pissed off )

 Meher Vij (munni's mother) , Om Puri (molana sab) or the bus conductor who helps bhai and munni in pakistan .

Nawazuddin has a strong role to play and man he is on a roll oflate .

Munni (Harshali Malhotra ) is defnitely going to sweep all the awards this year and if luck favours she will get more films in the near future and one day inshallah i will write a review of a movie where she is the lead heroine :)

Watch this with your entire family (I assume half of you must have watched by now )

Bajrangi Bhaijaan - Mashallah !

Bahubali Movie Review :) err not exactly a review




"inthinthai, vatudinthai mariyu daninthai... Nabovidhipai nantai "

Vamana has grown to a proportion that the Sun was looking like an umbrella .

This is how Dir. Rajamouli has grown over the years .

Well to be honest , I am not eligible to write a review for his latest Magnum Opus "Bahubali" . Seriously . He has outgrown himself with his every film . 

So , I am not reviewing this film but for few thoughts .
This film is a visual treat for your eyes . let it be the unbelievable waterfalls or the snow clad mountains or the war scenes .

Every actor has given his best performance till date . I don't know why people are cribbing about Tamanna's performance and read somewhere that she is a minus point for the film . I , while watching her scenes in turn got goosebumps . I am not exaggerating . Ramya Krishnan , Sathyaraj & Nasser do utmost justice to their roles . No one else could have potrayed Raja Mata's character better than Ramya Krishnan . Aa hundatanam .. Aa theevi abbabbo . She had set the scenes rolling right from the frame she appears on screen .

Anushka deserves applauds for accepting this role . The fierce in her eyes shows the pain , anger and revenge in the same frame .

Prabhas has given his best to the film but somehow I felt that the zeal is missing . He looks tired at places and eye bag cleanups are visible upright . Rana Daggubati surprises you with his physique and ruthless eyes .

The VFX - I can understand people complaining about the quality of the vfx in this film . What they don't understand is that almost all the scenes in the movie contain heavy Vfx and people are comparing with Hollywood movies , hence the non-satisfactory factor arising due to heavy expectations and huge comparisions . 

I am eagerly waiting for the Bahubali - Conclusion which comes next year . 


Please go and do watch it in Theatres . Go with your family . Worth every single rupee spent .

Bahubali - Rajamouli :)
