Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap: The Review

Credits:

Director: Puri Jagannadh
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Raveena Tandon, Prakash Raj, Sonu Sood, Sonal Chauhan and Charmme Kaur

It can be disparaging to say anything against Big B’s ‘Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap’ but the film doesn’t evoke much interest other than watching his trademark original avatar of the 70’s.

One of the main problems in Amitabh’s ‘Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap’ is that the director Puri Jagannadh has cranked out a mediocre fare. The sequence of action is not relatively new to Bollywood and the director has hammered the moviegoers with a film that can only interest, entertain and make you laugh if you are a hardcore fan of Amitabh .

'Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap', the movie from AB Corp Ltd and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, does not seem to pump up a fairly interesting treatment but a half baked project.

Delhi Belly: The Review

Credits:

Director : Abhinay Deo

Cast : Imran Khan, Vir Das, Poorna Jagannathan, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Shenaz Treasurywala

Aamir Khan’s Delhi Belly, a crude crime-comedy film has a surreal aura in it that possesses several big laughs and notably entertaining sequences.

The spirit of this irreverent film riffs on insane comedy that gives all the silly laughter to your sides as it boasts of real characters and threadbare distinctive dialogues.

'Delhi Belly' is an comic overkill that doesn’t breathe in slapstick comedy but fits well through its situational comedy where the humor element has more profanity and potty language.

Depending on everyone’s taste, the film’s pacing is excellent and even the director Abhinay Deo has expediently handled Akshat Verma’s script without going out of sync.

Double Dhamaal : The Review

Credits:

Director : Indra Kumar

Cast : Sanjay Dutt,Mallika Sherawat, Kangna Ranaut, Satish Kaushik, Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaffrey, Ritesh Deshmukh, Aashish Chaudhary

Indra Kumar’s latest excursion ‘Double Dhamaal,’ a sequel to the maiden film ‘Dhamaal (2007),’ doesn’t churn out to be a better endeavor than the four year old prequel.

The film is not a refreshingly new treat for moviegoers since it has the typical Bollywood comedy of a wearisome mix of lurching gags, dirty jokes, sexual innuendoes, wicked leer and also parody on some of the popular films and actors.

‘Bheja Fry 2’ leads new releases

After leaving moviegoers in fits of laughter with ‘Bheja Fry’, the maker of the 2007 hit slapstick, Sagar Ballary, is back with its second installment.

Reportedly, the recently released sequel of ‘Bheja Fry’, starring the much loved idiot Vinay Pathak, is doing average business at the box-office.

Bhindi Baazaar Inc: The Review

Credits:

Director: Ankush Bhatt

Cast: Kay Kay Menon, Shweta Verma, Gautam Sharma, Prashant Narayanan, Pavan Malhotra, Piyush Mishra, Vedita Pratap Singh, and Dipti Naval.

‘Bhindi Baazaar Inc’ does prompt you to question why Bollywood always treads a similar path in coming up with more and more films based on depraved hoodlums.

‘Bhindi Baazaar Inc’ has sizable arid patches of grey and dark shades in the story that looks spic-and-span but doesn’t break new ground in the formula of typical gritty edgy thriller.

There is an ample amount of emotions like friendship, romance, betrayal, desire, and jealousy in this high voltage violence drama.

This film has twists and timely flashbacks that aimlessly hover along with crammed multiple subplots and partly succeed on the strength of giving an edge of the seat thriller.

Always Kabhi Kabhi: The Review

Credits:

Director : Roshan Abbas

Cast: Ali Fazal, Giselli Monteiro, Satyajeet Dubey, Zoa Morani,Mukesh Tiwari, Akash Khurana, Manoj Joshi, Satish Shah, Lilette Dubey, Vijay Raaz, and Navneet Nishan.

‘Always Kabhi Kabhi’, which is a follow-up of Roshan Abbas’s successful 1999 play ‘Graffiti’, turns out to be a bad candidate in the race of a spunky youth-based film, since it’s dull, loud, and only has less delectable amounts of euphoria.

The lovely school experience has a smart mix of fun, songs, enjoyable pool parities, updating and posting party pics on social networking sites, and clubbing.

On the whole, Shahrukh’s home production’s latest entertainment package unspools a fractured, laid-back tale that has too much stuff about the ongoing problems in a student’s school life that it doesn’t make for a feel good movie.

Shaitan : The Review

Credits:

Director: Bejoy Nambiar

Cast :Rajeev Khandelwal, Kalki Koechlin, Gulshan Devaiya, Shiv Pandit, Neil Bhoopalam, Kirti Kulhari

It seems like director Bejoy Nambiar has taken over filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s directorial wand to bring onscreen a thrilling crime drama with lots of twists and turns, which is almost similar to the latter’s debut film ‘Paanch’.

Bejoy spares no effort to make ‘Shaitan’ an ingeniously entertaining film, which has an insistent rhythm of edginess and humor to hit all the notes of a thriller.

‘Shaitan’ is a stylishly upholstered and meticulously made thriller, with excellent editing by Sreekar Prasad.

Even though the story is monotonous, Bejoy and Megha Ramaswamy have managed to come out with flying colors.

Ready: The Review

Credits:

Director : Anees Bazmee

Cast: Salman Khan, Asin, Arya Babbar, PareshRawal, Puneet Issar, Mahesh Manjrekar, and Akhilendra Mishra

Watching ‘Ready’ makes you to laugh your lungs out; and Salman Khan unleashes his unique banter, comedy, buffoonery, and garbles ludicrous and cheesy dialogues with élan, making the film completely his.

The sagacious director Anees Basmee has insistently used all kinds of nonsensical segments to give a laugh-a-minute film, but seems to have failed to control certain unrelieved vulgarity in the comedy.

There are many spots in the film that does bog you down, for the story is boring and flavorless. However, barring the plot, ‘Ready’ with its share of highs and lows does work, because Salman contributes a certain magic to the film.

Kucch Luv Jaisaa: The Review

Credits:

Director: Barnali Ray Shukla

Cast: Rahul Bose, Shefali Shah, Sumeet Raghavan, Neetu Chandra, Om Puri

The latest bloom from Sunshine Pictures Pvt. Ltd., ‘Kucch Luv Jaisaa’ is a sweet and ordinary story that is not nicely packaged to make it a fairly interesting film.

Director Barnali Ray Shukla should have taken quantum care in making a consistent stride in screenplay and dialogues, as it’s disappointing and doesn’t get credit to be neat in packing.

On watching this film, no one will be marveled or excited at the simple variation of theme about a boring housewife, facing the downside in her marriage, wanting a new lease of excitement in her life, whereby she runs into a criminal and there begins a pointless commotion for nothing.

Love U Mr Kalakaar: The Review

Credits:

Director : S Manasvi

Cast : Tusshar Kapoor, Amrita Rao, Ram Kapoor, Madhoo, Jai Kalra , Prem Chopra

Tusshar and Amrita’s ‘Love U Mr Kalakaar’ is not quite endearingly engaging but is technically rudimentary in the way the screenplay has been written and directed by S. Manasvi.

It’s quite precisely confusing to understand the route ‘Love U Mr Kalakaar’ takes with a story that has an easygoing quality but which is bluntly uninteresting to watch.

The biggest downside of ‘Love U Mr Kalakaar’ is the fact that the film doesn’t exude freshness. Nothing in the movie is over-the-top to make it a reasonably entertaining film, since there are no witty lines or scenes.

The film cuts back and forth on a romantic subject that doesn't bond well with today’s time.
