Shaabash! You Can Do It doesn’t live up to its title et all. There is not even a single good element which one can think of, and gather some guts to watch the film. Poor is synonymous to this film in every aspect. Poor direction, storyline, direction, selection of actors is what compounds to the misery of this film.
The story revolves around the character of Neil and his journey from being an underdog to ultimately emerging as the winner of a dance competition with its protagonist Vikram, who’s a three years champ, by learning yoga.
His journey is facilitated by Professor Siddhant’s encouragement and his newfound love for Mahi. It is a truly inspiring film for viewer of all age group. It also has excellent music, good dance sequences, culminating in breath taking competition and suspense. Also, for the first time yoga has been excessively used as a tool of transformation. Too many actors Hitesh Agrawal, Mansi Dovhal, Sudesh Berry, NasirKhan, Vivek Shauq, Charu Sharma, Rajiv Verma, Adi Irani, Atul Kinagi, Vedita Pratap Singh, Praveen,Singh Sisodia, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Rakesh Shrivastav and Aslam Khan has added in further disdain of the film.
Highly non-recommendable says it all for this film.

Scheduled to hit the theaters on 9th October 2009, ‘Love Ka Tadka’ revolves around the life of Aditya (Sameer Dattani) and Sheetal (Nauheed Cyrusi). Aditya is a middle class guy, who works as an executive in ‘Easy Money’. Struggling to make ends meet, he has only three main things in his life - his work, his friend Vicky and his corrupt boss. One fine day, Aditya bumps into Sheetal, a beautiful girl who mistakes him for a ‘Romeo’. And every time Aditya tries to clear the misunderstanding and prove his innocence, following the advice of Vicky, he ends up creating more mix-ups and confusions.The film Directed by Gautam Adhikari,



In the process of clearing the confusion and bringing everything on track, Aditya ends up falling in love with Sheetal. Soon, the two of them get married also, but the story does not culminate in a ‘Happily Ever After’ (‘picture abhi baaki hai mere dost’). In fact, this is where the actual story begins. Rather, it starts getting more chaotic and even much more amusing. The very first problem is that Sheetal considers Aditya to be a Manager, who lives in a plush condominium (as per the lies he told her, to woo her). As expected, she becomes livid on learning that he is an executive and lives in a chawl.

Inspite of the difficulties, Aditya and Sheetal manage to sort out their differences and also pool in money to buy an apartment. However, before this could happen, Sheetal's dad (Satish Kaushik) insists on coming to stay with her. The couple somehow manages to make him stay in Vicky’s house, till they find an apartment of their own. As if this wasn’t enough, when they go to buy their new house, they run short on funds. In order to help them out, Vicky ends up cutting a deal with the house owner. He promises that either they will pay the balance within a year or forfeit even that amount which they have already given to the owner.

After crossing all hurdles, Aditya and Sheetal manage to get their own house. However, just when they think that everything is fine, a new problem crops up. They come to know that their house is in a strictly vegetarian society. While they agree to compromise on the fact, Sheetal's father, who is strictly an anti vegetarian, presents a problem. As it is, he is not happy with Aditya. So, the couple decides to hide the fact that the society is pure vegetarian. What follows is a series of comic situations, where Aditya and Sheetal try to do a balancing act between the latter’s father and the society members, by smuggling the forbidden food items into the house.

Fruit and Nut Release Date : 23,Oct 2009

Movie Details

Language: Hindi

Release date and status: Released on Oct 23, 2009

Cast: Boman Irani, Cyrus Broacha, Dia Mirza, Mahesh Manjrekar, Atmaram Bhende, Rajit Kapoor

Music: Sangeet Haldipur/Siddharth Haldipur

Director: Kunal Vijaykar

Fruit and Nut, directed by Kunal Vijaykar was termed as a social parody, a satirical of sorts. Sadly it’s a far cry from its vivid definition. The film only provides dozens of roll of the eye situations and innumerable number of annoying so-called funny sequences. Fruit and Nut has its share of nutty characters indeed. However only a few giving justification to their insane attributes.

The film about an ex-Maharaja Harry Holkar (Boman Irani) who feels his city has gone to the dogs, devises a plan to rid Mumbai of all its evil. Enter Jolly Maker (Cyrus Broacha) an accident prone goody two shoes in search of love and money who finds himself entangled in this mess along with attractive smart snob Monica (Dia Mirza). Khandarchaala (Mahesh Manjrekar) a corrupt government official only ends up taking advantage of the situation to satisfy his own evil motives.

The first half of the film is a hotch potch of bad over the top acting and nonsensical humour which has you cringing in your seat. Boman Irani is probably the only saving grace of the film who keeps you entertained till the very end of the film. While his shoddy makeup and garish clothing might be a little hard on the eyes, he makes sure his mannerisms and punchlines leave you marvelled by this powerhouse of comic talent. Cyrus Broacha should stick to what he does best that is reality TV hosting and theatre- his emoting and expressions are only good impromptu and he just ends up making a bakra of himself in the movie. Mahesh Manjrekar does a fair job but starts to annoy after a while. Dia Mirza is unconvincing in her tough girl look and her romantic scenes with Cyrus are just too much to digest for the day. Rajit Kapoor is a pain to watch.

The movie picks up in the second half with a rib-tickling climax which will have you rolling off your seat. The scene in which Boman hails Salim Sulaiman the dreaded aging underworld dons is probably the most hilarious sequence in the film. However after the first gruelling half hour of the film you just don’t have the patience to sit for the second half. The movie which has been targeted for the urban crowd wont appeal to them as such considering teenage Pj’ are better than humour in Fruit and Nut.

The screenplay and dialogues by Sharad Kataria are nothing to boast about, and Kunal’s direction is good for a newbie but scripting is just not his cup of tea. The production value only speaks of the hesitance Studio 18 must have had in putting in money for the film. The music for Sangeet Haldipur is ho-hum with Boman’s title track being the only standout song which even though I beg to recollect, evades my memory.

From what I hear Studio 18 couldn’t make head or tail of the story when they saw the end result of the film and had even asked Kunal to re-edit the film several times. But with all the unnecessary sequences in the film, one can only begin to imagine the fruits of sleeping on the editing table and the effort in trying to crack the nut of a movie they produced in the bargain.

Bal Ganesh 2 Release Date : 23,Oct 2009

Our filmmakers do produce mythological animation flicks but that’s a rare occurrence. Mostly, you have a kiddie animation releasing when the children have their summer holidays and knowing the fact that they would anyway see the flick, seldom do filmmakers come out with an animation movie that makes an impact.

You like them or you don’t, but movies like ‘Hanuman’ and ‘Bal Ganesh’ are simple efforts put in by filmmakers to infuse a breath of fresh air in the humdrum of Bollywood.
Similarly, ‘Bal Ganesh 2’, directed by Pankaj Sharma, is a simple story, clubbed with sweet animation and just that.

It includes three different stories, all related to Lord Ganesha and the outcome rather gratifying. It is more than a movie; something you would want your children to see not because it’s about Ganesha, but for the fact that it shows him in a childlike form, making it easier to identify with him and believe him.

The second instalment of ‘Bal Ganesh’ is a step ahead in every term, whether it is the content, voiceovers or the animation. It updates you with what you witnessed in its first part and then three different stories unravel: The first story pertains to a cat and how Lord Ganesha plays a prank on it. Much later, Goddess Parvati gives an invaluable advice to Lord Ganesha... The second story pertains to Sage Vyasa. Lord Ganesha not only writes the entire book, but also translates it while writing it. The third story pertains to Lord Ganesha fighting it out with a powerful demon. He fights it out and you love it.

On the whole, it can prove to be a nice watch.

Rating: Two cheers
