Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai

The fascination with gangster films in the world has been immense. On this side of the Atlantic, many gangster movies have left giant footprints in the sands of time. Films like Deewan (Yash Chopra), Dharmatma (Feroz Khan), Nayak (Mani Ratnam), Anga (Shashilal Nair), Parinda (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) Agneeth (Mukul Anand), Satya and Company (Ramgopal Varma), Vaastav (Mahesh Manjrekar ), Gangster (Anurag Basu), D (Vishram Sawant) and Ta Lokhandwala Shootout (Apoorva Lakhi) has a tremendous value to remember the date.

Once Upon A Time In Mumbai creates a time that so many of us Have left and those who came to this planet, post 1980, I am sure must have Some other times through the medium or others, especially the movies and the Internet, or During the academic career.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbai is not a part of history, but seeks to describe the stories of celluloid that are now considered legendary, which continue to be news so far. Disclaimer, of course, claims, and not like a person but can not be done, but the similarities to real life characters. It could be coincidence, but!

Since there is a huge media speculation that Once Upon a Time in Mumbai chronicles the life of Haji Mastan and Dawood Ibrahim, curiosity about the film is multiplying. Of course, I am nobody to comment, if it is actually based on their life and only a few cases loans for their lives or is pure fiction, but a cinematic experience, I could not get to drive past the time to get sucked through a world that I had no idea.

Apart from the chapter gangster, enjoy a film that also because of its gripping drama and power plays. It could have been anywhere in the world of business, politics, the film industry. Everywhere. The rise and subsequent fall of the king and the prince's emergence as a superpower is what makes this film a compelling watch. The icing on the cake, the magic song, singing compositions, which are juxtaposed so well in these incidents. Alongside the power game, a game of heart is played, and that's what makes Once Upon A Time in Mumbai with an experience of sound cinema.

Film set mainly in 1970 in Mumbai, followed by the rise of Sultan Mirza (Ajay Devgn) and resulting conflict, where his protégé Shoaib Khan (Emraan Hashmi), a challenge to his power, and usurps the power to solve the murky Mumbai sensitive.

Once upon a time Mumbai has the power-packed drama that makes you hungry for more. We must go back to the time of the novel, smuggling, cabaret and the Mafia, but the director and writer Milan Luthria Cross Arorae that there was no bloodshed Sleaze-n-Gore. In fact, there is hardly any violence in a movie, with one exception, when Ajay hammers police during naaka-band.

As I look back and remember the movie, some scenes flash in my mind. Note the sequence where Ajay divides the city between gangsters ... The train sequence at the beginning ... The introduction of Emraan Hashmi character ... Randeep Hooda touchdown on a film and the confiscation of equipment ... The following sequence, which is framed Randeep accept bribes ... The romantic moments between Emraan and Prachi in jewelry ... Emraan start his business and result confrontation between Ajay and Randeep ... The confrontation between Ajay and Ajay with slaps Emraan Emraan in the sight of all ... The conclusion of the story is really original. It will be in your memory and make you think.

On the shading begins Randeep attempted suicide, but the author should have mentioned the reasons which prompted it to adopt a radical position. Of course, it is mentioned at the beginning, but it does not record well. In addition, you are interested to know the chain of events that led to suicide Randeep. Also the pants rhythm at the second hour, but resumed dramatically when Ajay comes from Delhi and confronts Emraan. In addition, as I would like the film had a shorter period, calls for mass Hindi title to attract more eyeballs and a big jump in the footsteps (on a single screen and small centers, mainly) for a mass call subject like this.

Director Milan Luthria works best so far, there are no two opinions. Recreating the bygone era are hard and director, writer and art director (Nitin Chandrakant Desai) deserves brownie points to give the film that authentic feeling. In fact, the film features a retro look stylish throughout. Even otherwise, Milan handling equipment subject is exemplary. This film is sure to propel him to the top league. Rajat Arorae script is powerful and endearing. The author combines heavy drama and subtle and delicate emotions beautifully. I want to make special mention of the dialogue, also written by Rajat Arorae is simply incredible. In fact, write a dialogue that is how it also raises a regular sequence of high level. One rarely comes across such powerful dialogue to the current era.

Pritam is the second music ace. Injections of songs and also an extraordinary gangster film soundtrack is hard. The Mafia has done. He will do so again in Once Upon a Time in Mumbai. editing "Pee Loon", "Tum Jo Aaye and Apna Desh" remix are super compositions, which are also positioned correctly plot. The film (Aseem Mishra) captures the look of perfection. Akiva Ali is sharp.

Kangana Ranaut is very natural and works very well. In addition, he brings so much sensuality and charm of his character . In fact, Kangana Ajay and make a wonderful screen couple. Prachi Desai is a group of talented, showing her new husband. He dominates the emotional scenes and sizzling song and series Bobby. Furthermore, the chemistry between Emraan and Prachi is exciting. Randeep Hooda is superior. Although the film includes Ajay and Emraan, Randeep makes its presence is effective. This film proves to be a turning point in his career.

Overall, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai is very well done film that lingers in your memory. The realism, along with the direction and writing stellar ultra-powerful, outstanding performances and ear-pleasing melodies are their strengths. A cinematic experience!

Khatta Meetha Movie Review

Friday, July 23, 2010

Rate: 2/5

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Trisha Krishnan, Makrand Deshpande, Rajpal Yadav, Neeraj Vora, Milind Gunaji, Asrani

Khatta Meetha Trailer

When Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar join hands, waiting for Cineplex echoes with laughter. Do not forget, the team has delighted us with some great performers of the past. Of course, if the inheritance is expected that Khattar Meetha forward.

Khatta Meetha is noise, more noise, and noise, while the content takes a back seat full. Khatta Meetha not even be compared to previous work combo, since it is a satire, I must add that it is their weakest film to date.

Well, no more than the previous films Priyadarshan has just had a story to tell, but when you try a satire, when talking about the difficulties of the common man when it comes to corruption in society, should have a story. Needless to say!

Khatta Meetha put a finger on corruption in public enterprises, but what he is trying to say or stay, has been seen and reviewed. Indeed, it is to write - Sorry, lack of it - it makes things worse. The beginning is good, falters in the middle and the end is annoying.

Fighting road construction contractor Tichkule Sachin (Akshay Kumar) is doomed. There is no possibility of their dreams than ever simply because he has no money to bribe. To make matters worse, the new Municipal Commissioner is to be his ex-girlfriend (Trisha), who hates him.

The film reveals the extent of corruption enters the system and ingenious ways to be taken if they are to survive in the current environment.

Meetha khatta trying to say many things in 2.40 hours. Oh, yeah, its length is a problem, especially since history has no power to keep you hooked to the proceedings. Well, back to what he meant, Meetha khatta is rather a collage of isolated incidents included in 2.40 hours. The collapse of the bridge, following the assassination Tinnu Anand, the constant bickering in the house, tu-tu-main-main between Akshay and Trisha, the way sister, Net corrupt babus and government, the issue of payment of workers. .. several sequences are a repetition of what you just saw in the afternoon or an hour.

While the romantic theme is the weakest link (halfway, the songs are forced down his throat, but whatever, valid situations), the flashback parts, representing Akshay Kumar As a student (!!!), is only difficult to digest. Even at the end is done and not give the feeling of satisfaction that we expect the conclusion of a movie.

sequence management Priyadarshan comedy that is remarkable, especially in the first half of the film. The sequence of repair and painting at the Hotel Asrani is sure to rock the house. The same is true Asrani conversation with several people in person and by telephone. In addition, the sequence is a laugh-riot bulldozer before the movie and Johnny Lever, the steamroller of repair is very funny. But an isolated sequences are not sufficient. The veteran narrator must know the importance of a scenario now sealed.

Photo: The objective of V. Manikandan 'catch in the open air with flourish. Pritam music is easy on the ears, and at least two songs are very popular as well, but the placement of songs in the story serves as a dam. The dialogues are funny sometimes, mostly on-liners.

Akshay Kumar plays the common man with gusto. He sees her and more importantly, not once do you feel it is repeated. But it goes over some footage. Trisha bear Plain Jane look good, but not as an actor. The attitude of fire, so crucial when you are adopting the role of the municipal commissioner, is missing. Rajpal Yadav is in great shape once again. What a great actor!

Urvashi Sharma is difficult. Makrand Deshpande wasted. Tinnu Anand is unlikely to exist. Aroon Irani was also ignored. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is first class. Asrani is excellent. Manoj Joshi cry so much. Ditto Neeraj Vora. Milind Gunaji okay. Its role as an actress Urvashi husband is doing a good job.

A last word? This is far from Meetha. It is an experience khatta!

Khattar Meetha everything is a big disappointment from a director. It is not a real comedy. It is not complete even a satire. A huge disappointment!

Tere Bin Laden Movie Review

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Rate: 4/5

Cast: Ali Zafar, Pradhuman Singh, Sugandha Garg, Nikhil Ratnaparkhi, Piyush Mishra, Rahul Singh, Seema Bhargava

Tere Bin Laden - First Look

Osama bin Laden. Only the name of Google and I'm sure the results would be of the highest anywhere. Post 9 / 11, terror has a new name and a face. Now imagine that Osama bin Laden running a poultry farm and game hens. Imagine Osama bin Laden ogling a woman's makeup. Imagine Osama Bin Laden to urinate outside a television studio, but to give your card to the person to urinate on the other side. Imagine Osama become a partner in a tacky lounge.

Smiling, right? It is, in short, is Tere Bin Laden, a comedy with a perverse concept of the box to indicate laughter unlimited supply. In fact, I do not think I dropped my facial muscles in any other film in the recent past, as I do to see this comedy satire. This gives Tere Bin Laden an advantage over other comedies, is that this is not the slapstick humor that entertains you. Have a story to tell, and, sinking so deeply into the minds of young people today.

A last word? Grab a popcorn, sip cola and you get ready to laugh non-stop for the next two hours. You will be seduced by Osama bin Laden, for a change!

Tere Bin Laden is an ironic comedy of ambitious young reporter in Pakistan (Ali Zafar), which is a desperate move to the U.S. seeking the American dream. His repeated attempts to amend down his visa has always been rejected. But when things could not seem worse, clashes with Osama bin Laden lookalike. Ali then hatches system produces fake video of Osama and sold it on the news channels, a turn in the bucket.

Unfortunately, there are serious repercussions that the White House gets involved and sends a secret agent too much in the way of Ali.

Although Tere Bin Laden to use the family name is known throughout the world, there is a serious moment in this film. Even the Americans to take charge Laden (who, frankly, would be able to make a serious film) so young and crazy, you can not help but smile a series of events.

Debutant director Abhishek Sharma has an unusual history and gives an interesting twist. Who would have ever thought about making a movie about Osama bin Laden and is also a comedy? The guy has the courage to swim against the current. In addition to writing a movie crazy and decorate with the zany characters, Abhishek also does justice to this issue by handling it so well. Making people laugh is a Herculean task to keep pace is perhaps the greatest challenge. Smile still in place from A to Z and sequences of two in particular ended up laughing hysterically.

The first time director also deserves praise for the restoration of Pakistan in Hyderabad in India. From the look to the language of costumes for artifacts for the typical truck that you can see in Pakistan, will Tere Bin Laden is right. cinematography by Santosh Thundiyil is good. The dialogue is witty and a single line raises particularly good mood. The review would be incomplete if I did not focus on the valuable contribution of his music composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. "Since ullu Patha is already a rage, while" I Love Amreeka podorhythm are well.

Casting new confidence and, above all, talented actors gives the film the right push. Zafar Ali is a star no two opinions. Young is a set of beauty, talent and a large screen on the right presence. He charms his place in his heart performance with super-confidence and I firmly believe that will not stop after this film. In fact, Tere Bin Laden announces the arrival of a new Bollywood star.

For the first time director deserves praise for the return of Pakistan in Hyderabad in India. Since language is suitable waiting for a load of typical objects that we see in Pakistan, Tere Bin Laden is right. Santosh Thundiyil cinematography is good. Dialogue is a funny line and raises a particularly good mood. The review would be incomplete if it does not focus on a valuable addition to his music composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. "Why ullu Path is already the rage, while" I Love podorhythm Amreeka well.

In total, Tere Bin Laden is a fun ride that makes you smile and even laugh loudly in two hours continuously. A complete artist, this film has everything necessary not only to its viewers laughing in the aisles, but investors also laughed all the way to the bank.

Lamhaa Movie Review

Friday, July 16, 2010

Rate: 2/5

Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu, Kunal Kapoor, Shernaz Patel, Aman Verma, Yashpal Sharma, Vishwajeet Pradhan





During the development of Lamhaa in IIFA held recently in Sri Lanka, I had to ask the director Dholakia Rahul catch line of the film: "The Untold History of Kashmir. Obviously, I was curious. What was Dholakia tells us, viewers, had not been seen in movies before or read in newspapers or news channels? Dholakia gave a convincing answer, which justifies the capture line, but obviously do not reveal much about the film.

As Lamhaa unfolds, you realize Dholakia that may've taken a few episodes of their lives, but as she goes, she looks like a typical Bollywood harps company to be real, but end up being a masala Movies, as we have seen time and time again. The catch line, in my opinion individualist is totally misleading.

Dholakia seems to have done much research on the subject and Lamhaa boasts some moments of brilliant clarity, but the viewer is willing to have the perspective of inside information on Kashmir, something we have not read / see (on the news channels or films) above, which Lamhaa simply does not.

Only one word for this movie: Disappointing!

Military Intelligence must blow the plot, which may disturb and possibly paralyze Kashmir. Vikram (Sanjay Dutt) is sent to investigate the role of highly confidential, and leaves the identity of Gul Jehangir. The same day he landed in a valley, Haji (Anupam Kher), a senior separatist leader, clear explosion. If the connection is explosive and action?

 To resolve this enigma, Vikram teams with Aziza (Bipasha Basu), Haji is young, dynamic and open protected. The intensity of their beliefs and their will to survive against all odds to create a special bond between them. Together they embark on a journey to discover the truth.

You expect much Dholakia, but it drops you in Lamhaa. Politicians want a bigger piece of cake or children are trained for jehad, or their bodies are filled with bombs is no longer a revelation. What you're interested in learning is to think of the Kashmiris, as frankly, this film does not really project. Ultimately, if you remember the visuals, not the content that means something is wrong with the film and unfortunately Lamhaa good intentions gone awry. Although the dialogue (Sai Kabir, Ashwath Bhatt) and screenwriting, trying to find a balance between the real and very thin. Music Mithoon is easy on the ears, but acts as a speed breaker in the narrative.

Sanjay Dutt seems difficult to prove to sign, but just could not mount. robust appearance, sunglasses and fashionable clothes which made me feel Sanju had entered a film set to shoot from the ad. Bipasha does not appear on his behalf, although I must add that he worked hard to stay true to his character. Sequence, when attacking workers Anupam Kher political party is simply brilliant.

You expect a lot Dholakia, but it leaves you in Lamhaa. Politicians want a bigger piece of cake or children are trained for jehad, or their bodies are filled with bombs is no longer a revelation. What you're interested in learning is to think of the people of Kashmir, as frankly, this film does not really project. Ultimately, if you remember the visuals, not the content that means something is wrong with the movie, and unfortunately Lamhaa good intentions gone awry. Although the dialogue (Sai Kabir, Ashwath Bhatt) and writing screenplays, trying to find a balance between the real and very thin. Music Mithoon is easy on the ears, but acts as a speed breaker in the narrative.

Mahesh Manjrekar is wasted. The same applies to Yashpal Sharma. Vipin Sharma is efficient. Jyoti Dogra stands. Murli Sharma is perfect. Shernaz Patel is decent. Rajesh Khera, Yuri Suri, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Asif Basra, Denzil Smith and Ehsaan Khan are going well in their respective regions.

Udaan Movie Review

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Rate: 3 / 5

Cast: Ronit Roy, Ram Kapoor, Manjot Singh, Anand Tiwari

During my school days in Himachal Pradesh, a fellow student will not be long for annual leave in December, as all children usually do not. I have often wondered why. Much later I was told that his body (and too dominant), the father calls the shots with the stick, and my friend literally spine Were just thinking about the next three months to spend with his family.

We lost touch after we got the training and the passage of time, I forgot all about him. Until I looked Udaan and his face appeared very early in the film. Udaan will do it for you!

Poignant, confusing and disturbing, Udaan just a wonderful young adult who has entered his teens, and how he / she is a tyrant father, step-brother, who did not know existed, and how to break the chains and finally rid the world , who is slowly suffocating.

Udaan reflects real life and although the plot is simple and uncomplicated, add simple stories that are extremely difficult to count. However, rookie director Vikramaditya Motwani remains faithful to the written documentation and manages characters in the film with extraordinary care and understanding and maturity. I can make something Udaan kills everyone. And that's what makes this watch to absorb, especially its final definition.

A last word? This is a must for every parent, every child. This coming of age of the story is unique and speaks a universal language and therefore not to be missed!

If dropped eight years straight of college, Rohan (Barmecha Cross) returns to the small industrial town of Jamshedpur, and finds himself with his father the closet gay authoritarian (Ronit Roy) and a younger brother that he did not know. Forced to work in his father's steel factory and design of the study against his will, he tries to create his own life in certain circumstances, and pursued his dream to become a writer.

The best (most) the first time the leaders have the ability to tell new stories without bending to the dictates of the market. Core Udaan realistically, so that the viewer becomes a participant after again and she starts to feel that first-hand account of what a teenager suffering difficulties.

A number sequences leave a tremendous impact. But I want to highlight a few remaining sticking with me even if I write this review. Note the sequence between Barmecha Rajat and his brother step when they meet for the first time. Also where Ronit Roy and Rajat Barmecha have a confrontation at the dinner table, when the contractions speech Rajat plans for the future. Another scene that caught my attention was the quarrel between two brothers (Ronit Ram Kapoor).

In fact, during the second hour, I really wanted to know how Motwani and co-writer Anurag Kashyap concludes the story. But the sequence of rupture without Barmecha Rajat, a redemption of all types, is simply stunning. On the other hand, the pace is very slow towards the second hour. In addition, the duration can be enhanced by at least 10-15 minutes odd.

Cast names right must've been a difficult decision to its makers, especially the melting of two children in the essential parts. Seniors (Ronit Roy and Ram Kapoor) are implemented with the actors with years of experience under their belt. But Udaan explores a new facet of two and Ronit Ram. Ronit is great as a tyrant, the father of semi-neurotic with the demons of his own battle, while memory plays his part with rare understanding. The two children, Rajat and Barmecha Aayan Boradia are the real stars of this activity. Rajat seem to have a role tailor, and it puts teeth into it.

A total Udaan is a simple simple film that should not be explained. It must be experienced.

Milenge Milenge Movie Review

Friday, July 9, 2010

Rate: 2.3/5 

Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Aarti Chhabria, Satish Shah, Delnaz Paul, Kirron Kher, Himani Shivpuri

Director: Satish Kaushik

Milenge Milenge - Theatrical Trailer

In the current techno times, the easiest way to know how long the film is part of the decision-making process simply watch mobile phones used in the attacks. Different models in the hands of people who will give you a clear idea of how old the product is real. It is precisely the case of "Milenge Milenge", which was scheduled to be released far behind. Moreover, it seems that tired there will be a couple of long and difficult to tell the story behind the scenes.

But do not judge a book by its cover. Sure you can march in the movie is any reasonable expectation, hope, dated product weak storyline, but the wheels are starting to unspool, you see that is a story to tell. What if Milenge Milenge quoted John Cusack - Kate Beckinsale starrer Serendipity (2001). Indianisation writer Shiraz Ahmed has just continued in some places.

The "recipe" for this perfect love story is simple (at least that's what I think most filmmakers) have a good partner, choose a story that has been testing (reading, doing a mixture of Duuje Ke liye Ek, QSQT, Maine Pyaar Kiya, DDLJ, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai), decorated with sweet / cute / romantic / charming situations, add some energetic songs (at least two or three hit songs, are a must) and pull the muvie local panaromic. Presto, Prem Kahani Gaye Tayyar ho!

Milenge Milenge but has "Kismet'  keeping the lovers apart. Imagine a love story where the lovers have expressed their love for each other, but forces beyond their control in their own way and keeps them separate until the end of the film. The book script to bring your child together, but also ensures that you stay away from them until minutes before the film is nearing completion. Of course, this idea seems good in theory, but there is another side to it. With Facebook, Twitter, Google and mobile phones available, it is difficult to find anyone in the current environment? National Alliance, not anymore!

Last word? Milenge Milenge can be scheduled, but watch the chemistry between its lead pair. Perhaps this has never b Jodi met a team ever!

Immy (Shahid Kapoor) and Priya (Kareena Kapoor) meet at a youth festival in Bangkok. Priya is a romantic at heart and expects her partner to life as a teetotaler, a guy who does not smoke and do not lie. Immy is totally opposite of what Priya wants her life partner. His world is facing the Immy puts her hands on the diary and learns that Priya likes and dislikes. He pretends to be her dream partner, gave a completely different image of himself.

When preparing to return to Delhi, Priya discovers a copy of his newspaper in the room immy. It recognizes that Immy has made a parody of it and decides to confront it. Meanwhile Immy confides to his friends that although he has cheated Priya, it is really in love with her. But Priya is displayed in front of him and all hell breaks loose. She decides to end the relationship.

Immy trying to regain his confidence, saying that they are destined to be together. Priya decides that while it is expected that they, together, are reviewed every Delhi, even if both do not know the other is located in Delhi. Three years after returning from abroad Immy, while Priya is now settled in Mumbai. Immy is engaged to the daughter of a family friend (Aarti Chhabria), while Priya has shifted in life. Has a relationship with the pop singer.

Both are about to get married, but after all these years they still have this nagging sense that the other was his true love. Clearly the fate conspires to bring them together again [after several dangerous situations] they also undertake a final attempt to find another just before getting married to someone else.

Milenge Milenge begins as one of the many love stories, and songs that require a Lovey Dovey-scenes scenes, but the spiral minutes before the interval is so well done film that will suddenly raise the bar. Naturally, then, wait time after administration to hire a new location.

The second half has its share of moments of exercise, but honestly, has a tendency to recurrent and melodramatic as well. The whole piece a Rs. 50 good books and Kareena name and telephone number, although the novel has not been too effective in the present. Even the finale - when Shahid Kareena goes - is not convincing. As I said earlier, what ties the film together is the chemistry between the lead pair and some moments of charm.

Both Shahid and Kareena play the most perfectly romantic. Their (then) off-screen chemistry collides with the screen well. Although the film has been described several years ago and looks boyish Shahid to the end, his performance is consistent and credible. Kareena is equally convincing. Aarti Chhabria has nothing to do. Delnaaz Paul (a friend of Kareena) and Sarfaraz Khan (Shahid friend) will receive room and can be observed. Satish Shah is not funny. Kirron Kher shines in a brief role. Himani Shivpuri wasted.

In general, Milenge Milenge has a pair of charismatic lead, which are very popular among young people, as their USP. But the problem is that it seems dated. Having taken time to get to the theaters, it will require a strong word of mouth to attract audiences in Cineplex. Business-wise, there is little hope in the Hindi belt, where the traditional stories of love and melodrama are accepted.

Red Alert - The War Within Movie Review

Friday, July 9, 2010

Rate: 3/5 

Cast: Suniel Shetty, Naseeruddin Shah, Vinod Khanna, Sameera Reddy, Bhagyashree, Ayesha Dharker, Seema Biswas

Director: Anant Mahadevan

Red Alert - 

The War Within Trailer

After unwittingly find themselves in a Naxal-police crossfire, a cook rural poor, Narasimha (Suneil Shetty) is taken by force in the Naxalite fold. Although he taught the use of weapons and ambush techniques, are also trying to indoctrinate ideologist "the popular due to its".

For those who do not know how Naxalism is different from terrorism, red soldiers informs us: "If While terrorism is a war against the country, Naxalism is a war against the system."

Narasimha is simplistic and not interested in ideology. He believes that because he is working, must be paid. She moans and asks for their salary Velu Junior Group Leader (Ashish Vidhyarthi). Velu, irritated Narasimha not rise above their needs little in their struggle for the common man, was very good.

Ironically, that Narasimha is very personal, are fighting in this war is no longer relevant.

Aruna eyeliner veteran filmmaker, who has given us the courageous work in 1980, including the chilling "Gehrayee" weaves a bold script, expertly directed by actor-director Anant Mahadev. Mahadev recreates a Stark, parallel world of red greeted, "nation" soldiers in dense forests, urban images, the viewer may be accustomed to seeing.

Unlike Mani Rathnam latest offering, "Raavan", where the rebels had no cause and no name, Red Alert Naxals are not afraid of being called Naxals. They are ideological warriors - of compassion for the poor and fire in their stomach. But these Naxals are also people - exposed to emotions such as love, lust and jealousy, and sometimes even a greed for power. Raje & Mahadevan walk a delicate balance and stay neutral - not to glorify or demonize Naxals.

Mahadev used very strong package of players. Although Seema Biswas, Ehsaan Khan, Sunil Sinha and Ayesha Dharker is very credible as Naxalites in Andhra Suneil Shetty is a sincere and discreet performance that touches the heart. It seems that a strong theme, strong characterization may be somewhat attracted Shetty for his act of inertia. Without resorting to histrionics textbook, he will force you to believe in his character. Vinod Khanna makes a significant performance veteran Naxalite Krishna Raj, because there Makrand Deshpande as Raghavan, an opportunistic journalist.

Scenes such as negotiations Naxals armed to the teeth with landowners to pay farmers better reveals the nature of the animal Hoodesque Robin, but other ideas are too simplistic.

Take the discovery of a traitor in the group. Spores suspicious looking unfaithful members to find a police identification card in the camp, too easy and stupid. Sameera Reddy as Lakshmi, looks the part of a poor girl brutally raped by the Andhra police before being adopted by the Naxals. But she fights unconfidently in what could have been an intimate scene between brilliant and tormented Narasimha.

Also missing links in nature take Krishna Raj fear factor of the film, gripping climax. How the head is moved by the dreaded history of the common man to change his perception can be confusing and is poorly explained. However, if you pardon the film because of its lack of complex subject, " Climax novel Red Alert" provides an appropriate and humane war in.

A brilliant scene to see is where the Naxals comply with a suggestion that the police are hiding their weapons in a village school. Despite the group's concerns for child safety in the ambush, Velu advance orders. As the bullets fly and Naxal women attempt to take the children to safety, Narasimha fight to protect children. The effect of this incident in the psyche of Narasimha is worrying as the turning point in history.

You can show considerable apathy toward war and Maoist Naxal India. We can even cock a nose in the political process, resulting in a blurred understanding of these issues. However, it may be impossible to hide from the truth when we see in terms of Narasimha. It is not a Naxalite, nor is the state. It's just another poor man, struggling to protect and feed his family. How do you feed the ideology of an empty stomach?

Many of us would rather this issue just newspaper headline, but I suggest you ignore this beautiful film effort. "Red Alert" beacon of light to try to stop the cancer wars are being fought in our country.

I Hate Luv Storys Movie Review

Thursday, July 1, 2010

Rate: 2.5/5

Cast: Imran Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Sameer Dattani, Sameer Soni, Bruna Abdulla, Ketaki Dave, Anju Mahendroo




This could be a parody of the modern love story of Bollywood, and it might even be a parody, but do not let the title fool you. "I Hate Luv Stories" is exactly what he says is not a love story filled with rose water all Bolly-shots.

Simran (Sonam Kapoor) is a die hard romantic Boonsy Mills, who is in love with the investment bank pouty Raj (Sammir Dattani). When not watching his own love story, she also worked as art director on films.

Jai (Imran Khan) is a director, assistant Veer (Samir Soni) is known as the king of film boiling. If women Jai benefit to the joy of his libido, which claims to be indifferent about them. After reading a date, dumps her like a house lizard hunt.

Simran obligations and work in the new Jai Veer saga pyar, pyar, Pyar "("Love, Love, Love") and Stupid Cupid has a field day, shooting arrows of fire around film sets and locations abroad . Simran & Jai have full, talking endlessly about two hours, then realizes that his Simran Raj is an illusion. This is the United Nations and aqueous Jai, who is his true love. obviously never Jai saw his way, because, as we all know, he hates luv stories. "Unfortunately Simran is the only one who is shocked.

Do not deviate from the recipe as a rom-com, screenwriter and director Punit Malhotra, IES & contains all the essential ingredients, opposites attract, opposites collide, a song of separation and the song Heartbreak to a pre airport -climax.

The cast, Imran Khan seems to use some effort. Although his character is at best a two-dimensional, fully and give this genre a refreshing energy to his character. His comic timing is there, and his dialogue delivery is sincere. Sonam Kapoor looks very charming and beautiful camera, but its efficiency is low. Samir Soni surprises acting ability, but then begins to irritate too. Sammie Dattani enjoyed wide-eyed confusion and dialogue delivery. He seems lost in the society of child star.
