Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani Release Date : 06,Nov 2009


Cast: Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, Salman Khan (Special appearence) Director: Rajkumar Santoshi


Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani, a comedy set in a comic book universe, is a frustratingly uneven film. Some of it is genuinely funny and delightful and some of it is repetitive, and annoyingly tedious.

But even in its most limp moments, what keeps the film from derailing is its lead pair: Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif. There is such sizzle and beauty and unadulterated charm here that you really can’t look away.

The story, co-written and directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi, is set in a picturesque little town, which seems like a cross between Goa and Ooty.

Specifics are irrelevant because Santoshi isn’t aiming for realism here. This is a cheerfully artificial world, in which Prem, played by Ranbir, lives with his parents.

Prem is a 9th standard drop-out whose main job is being the President of the Happy Club. The happy club hopes to make people happy but mostly its members boast about doing nothing.

Enter Jenny, played by Katrina, a lovely lady with a slightly troubling back-story: she is an orphan and the parents who adopted her are now forcing her into marriage with an obnoxious boy only because he is rich.

Jenny and Prem, who both have a tendency to stammer when they are emotionally wrought, become friends. And Prem, who can’t bring himself to tell her that he loves her, finds himself in the uncomfortable position of trying to get Jenny away from her own wedding so she can get together with her boyfriend, Rahul, who has issues of his own.

In its best moments, Ajab Prem is crackling comedy.

Santoshi keeps it light, fluffy and fun. There is a real sweetness in the scenes in which Prem and Jenny first discover that the other also stammers.

Some of the dialogues sparkle. The trouble is that the film cannot maintain this tone and energy. So, the humour dips and the gags become forced.

At times, the film strains so hard for laughs that it almost feels like the director is beating you with a stick and ordering you to enjoy it. But even here, Ranbir and Katrina don't let up. Of course, he carries the bigger burden.

Ranbir, as the bumbling nerd, is in almost every frame. Watch him in a ball room scene, in which his body won't stay still or at a cop station, hesitantly declaring his affection for Jenny.

Hopefully someday, Ranbir will find a script that matches his talent.

Ajab Prem isn't it. But the film is engaging enough, as we say in Mumbai, time-pass. Go for it.

Jail Release Date : 06,Nov 2009


Film: Jail
Director: Madhur Bhandarkar
Cast: Neil Nitin Mukesh, Manoj Bajpai, Mugdha Godse, Arya Babbar, Rahul Singh, Chetan Pandit

Madhur Bhandarkar is synonymous with thought-provoking, hard-hitting films. Right from CHANDNI BAR to FASHION, the expert storyteller has made movies that hold tremendous shock-value. In turn, Madhur has cultivated a rich fan-base for his films.

With JAIL, Madhur not only makes you visit a prison, but also makes you peep into the psyche of a prisoner. In the recent past, Sriram Raghavan's EK HASINA THI [2004; Saif Ali Khan, Urmila Matondkar] and Nazim Rizvi's UNDERTRIAL [2007; Rajpal Yadav] narrated the travails and anguish of innocents who were falsely implicated in a case. Besides, Nagesh Kukunoor's TEEN DEEWAREIN [2003; Naseeruddin Shah, Jackie Shroff, Nagesh Kukunoor] too narrated the story of three convicts. But JAIL is different from the above-named films.

Besides watching a thought-provoking story on celluloid, one has also come to expect incredible performances in a Madhur Bhandarkar movie. And JAIL too is embellished with superb performances from its key actors.

JAIL transports you to a hitherto unknown world that most of us haven't seen and if this is its USP, it's also something that might go against it. Irrespective of how strong its merits are, a section of moviegoers [read families/kids], who generally tilt towards feel-good/sunshine/entertainment-filled cinema, might skip this film due to its dry [and at times depressing] theme.

In a nutshell, JAIL mirrors a reality in true Madhur Bhandarkar style. It's hard-hitting, it's compelling, it's thought-provoking. The efficient storyteller has the courage to speak a new language in every film and for that very reason, JAIL should be on your agenda.

Parag Dixit [Neil Nitin Mukesh] is living a dream life -- a great job and a loving girlfriend [Mugdha Godse]. However, things take an ugly turn when, after a series of unfortunate events, he suddenly wakes up in jail. Parag is perplexed. The only salvation he finds is in Nawab [Manoj Bajpayee], a convict, who believes that Parag is innocent.

Soon, Parag is left with a choice, to either live a life with hordes of broken hearts and shattered souls amidst the prison walls or hope to see freedom some day.

JAIL involves you from the very start. The inmates, their crimes, their individual stories... you get drawn into a world that's very real. So real that you feel it's happening right in front of your eyes.

Madhur has a knack of narrating stories and he narrates the story of Parag Dixit with razor-edge sharpness. Besides, JAIL also enlightens you of the legal process, which also acts as an eye-opener.

At the same time, the legal procedures and also the behavioural pattern of the inmates tend to get repetitive after a point and that's when you start feeling restless. Nonetheless, the post-interval has some interesting twists-n-turns, like the convicts' escape from the police van; prior to that Neil and Manoj exchanging stares before Neil perches himself in the van; Neil getting thrown in a dark cell, spending the next few days in solitary confinement; a convict using the garbage van as the means to escape; another convict realising that his wife is now a cop's mistress. Also, the climax is touching and moves you.

Madhur hits the right note yet again. Madhur, Manoj Tyagi and Anuradha Tiwari's script involves you in most parts. Raghuvir Shekhawat's dialogues are true to life. There's no scope for music in a film like JAIL, but the three songs are smartly integrated in the storyline. Kalpesh Bhandarkar's cinematography is top notch. Special mention must be made of Nitin Chandrakant Desai's prison set, where the film is entirely shot.

Not only does Neil Nitin Mukesh deliver his finest performance to date, but the performance would easily rank amongst the finest this year. He conveys the pathos and helplessness that this character demands with amazing understanding. He deserves all praise for his extra-ordinary portrayal.

Manoj Bajpayee pitches in a memorable performance. In fact, the supremely talented actor is in form after a long, long time. He's subdued all through, which only goes to prove that he knows the craft so well. Mugdha Godse underplays her part beautifully. Also, she carries the non-glam look well.

Aarya Babbar is fantastic. This film should make people sit and notice this young actor. Chetan Pandit is first-rate. Rahul Singh is excellent, especially in the sequence when he confronts his wife. The actor who plays the part of Joe D'Souza is effective.

On the whole, JAIL is a well-made film from an expert storyteller. At the box-office, the film will appeal to those with an appetite for hard-hitting, realistic fares, but its clash with AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI will affect its business to an extent.

London Dreams Release Date : 30,Oct 2009


London Dreams has a lot going for it. Two big ticket stars, Ajay Devgn [ Images ] and Salman Khan [ Images ], a successful producer-director, Vipul Shah, who has delivered hits like Namastey London and Singh is Kinng [ Images ], brilliant music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy and a matching background score by Salim Sulaiman.

But the technical flourish and the lavish canvas fail to deliver what's promised. Neither does London Dreams [ Images ] have the subtle, nuanced play of emotions of Abhimaan, nor does it have the edge and soul of Rock On, two of the finest films on music and musicians in Bollywood from two different generations.

And while London Dreams may have liberally borrowed from the classic Amadeus (Milos Forman's take on Mozart [ Images ] and Salieri's lives), it comes across as one of those 'Made-in-China' copies. There's nothing inside.

The film is a story about two boys in Bhatinda, Punjab [ Images ], who are the best of friends but two very different kids. And who grow up to be the perfect opposite of each other.

Ajay Devgn is passionate about music and follows it with disturbing ruthlessness. Salman Khan is the reluctant talent who does not realise his own genius. Things are fine until Devgn brings Salman to London to join his band London Dreams. Devgn's life turns upside down when a well-meaning Salman unknowingly steals his thunder and his girl. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.

Sounds delicious, and it could have been a gourmet treat, had the chef mixed the ingredients right.

Devgn is supposed to be this dark, intense, aspiring "Mai Ka Lal Jai Kishen" (that's Michael Jackson [ Images ] for a lot of Indians), but his character is extremely sketchy and unrealistic. For example, his oath of celibacy to pursue his dream of performing at Wembley stadium, or his self-flagellation (yes, he actually whips himself with a belt because he falls in love with a girl), will have you laughing. It may have worked in an 18th century European setting for Amadeus but this is London, 2009 guys!

His emotional outburst to a 90,000-strong crowd that demands to see his buddy Salman on stage, is another crucial scene that fails. At a moment when his most cherished dream crumbles and his credibility is at stake, he is given with some rather lame lines.

And the climax comes a bit too early, with the tail end of the film dragging on for an eternity.

Salman, as Devgn's rustic but fiercely loyal friend who is a womaniser with a heart of gold, actually steals Devgn's thunder, by design and otherwise. He gets the funniest lines, the best song visualisations, and the best character graph. His signature buffoonery, his emotional outbursts, his swagger, and his outrageous styling -- everything comes together to endear him to the audiences.

The biggest problem with London Dreams is that in a film about music and its lessons in humility, the most crucial musical moments are handled amateurishly, which makes it all look unconvincing.

The band's spectacular rise is as hurried and implausible as Devgn's growing up in an alien country on his own by playing flute at street corners.

The film is about an aspiring pop star (and his band London Dreams) but we do not know how every pretty young thing in UK becomes an overnight fan of a Hindi pop band, willing to sleep with the band members at every opportunity. There are two random guitar-toting flunkeys -- Aditya Kapoor and Rannvijay -- who literally jump around like boys with a toy gun.

The way Devgn's band is formed is quite ridiculous too. He begins singing at London's Trafalgar Square and suddenly Aditya Kapoor (with an acoustic guitar) and Rannvijay join him on the stage and begin jamming to an electronic number. By the time they get off the stage, the band is in place, and Devgn is ordering them around as the 'band leader.'

Asin [ Images ], lovely to look at, is but a bizarre cross between a cheerleader and a groupie, whose talent lies in doing variations of the belly dance on stage. She joins the band at a make-or-break audition after this conversation: "Main kya karun?" she asks Rannvijay. "Just go with the flow," he answers. So, she shimmies and shakes a bit to impress the judges.

You have no idea what "hunar" (talent) Devgn is talking about when he urges Asin's conservative father to let her join the band on a world tour. "It is a fantastic opportunity for your daughter", Devgn tells Asin's father with all sincerity. And so she gets to tour Rome, Paris, Amsterdam with the boys, stay in palatial suites. And, once in a while, dance with the firang extras in the background.

You can see where Vipul Shah's strength lies. The rustic scenes, the earthy humour, the emotional bonding, the comic sequences. He falters when it comes to the band, the music.

Besides, Devgn, a fine actor who has fit into comic roles with remarkable ease, fails to connect with you as a musician. His anguish and his intensity is all there, but even if was a deep-sea diver instead of a musician, it would not make any difference to his story.

Sejal Shah's cinematography is commendable. Some of the songs by Shankar Ehsaan Loy leap out from the screen, thanks to the refreshing choreography. The film benefits hugely from both. The Bhatinda-at night scene, where Devgn and Salman drink under a starlit sky, is absolutely dreamy, while some of the concert scenes where the devil in Devgn's rears its head, are deftly handled.

But London Dreams belongs to Salman. And though this becomes a problem for Devgn in the film and he plots to ruin him, there is precious little he can do about it in the theatres. One of the characters say about Salman in the film, "He's not a better talent, he's got adaa (style)". And that kind of sums it up.

You may like London Dreams for its beautiful frames, some paisa-vasool moments between Salman and Devgn, a good background score and catchy songs. For the rest, you need willing suspension of disbelief. And large doses of it.

Aladin Release Date : 30,Oct 2009


“I am still a teenager”, says Amitabh Bachchan right at the beginning of “Aladin”, setting the mood for the film to follow. Young at heart and fresh in treatment, “Aladin” wouldn’t have been possible without him.

Playing Genius - The Genie could have gone either way since he is expected to be whacky, quirky, a little eccentric, a bit mad and hugely lovable.

The narrative is clearly divided into two sections. If the first half is more children friendly, the second half has a lot going for teenagers and above.

There is some fun in store for children with a donkey’s head replacing Riteish’s, his guitar turning into a frog and him being thrown in the air after being turned into a balloon. The funny antics that follow may not have grown ups rolling with laughter, but should surely keep the smiles on.

Amitabh’s ‘Yo dude’ act keeps the fun going. He adopts a completely different body language as the flamboyant genie, who is happy moving on with the times, and could give the younger generation a run for its money.

Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt’s Ringmaster character makes on and off appearances, though one would have expected to see more of him.

The entire past about Aladin and the Genius gets a little confusing.

The real fun begins in the second half with the battle between good versus evil. Sanjay becomes more prominent on screen, the past is unearthed, action and thrills take centrestage and the best of VFX is unveiled.

The visuals belong to the never-seen-before variety, especially the ones where Big B is shown repenting about his misdeeds. The flashback sequence is extremely well done too.

Sujoy Ghosh does well in conjuring the imaginary world of ‘Khwaish’ that gives the film a visual appeal. This is further enhanced by the presence of newcomer Jacqueline Fernandes. Riteish is likeable as the young man who gets superpowers towards the film’s end, hence keeping an option for a sequel.

Sanjay is good but how one wishes that he had at least a couple of dramatic scenes with Amitabh.

However, the film completely belongs to Amitabh who totally steals the show. Watch him in “Genie Rap” and you’ll know why.

The story of “Aladin” is legendary and Genie and Jasmine are known worldwide. This is why it requires courage for a filmmaker to set the film in contemporary times and come up with his own take on a well loved tale.

Ghosh does exactly that as he lets his imagination go wild and spins a tale that ends up relating the past, present and future of these characters. This VFX filled entertainer is just the right recipe if one is looking for a family entertainer.

Shaabash! You Can Do It


Director:Shankar Mondal
Language:Hindi
Genre:Comedy / Thriller / Suspense




Shaabash! You Can Do It: But you didn’t!
Rating: 1 out of 5
Starring: Hitesh Agrawal, Mansi Dovhal, Sudesh Berry, Nasir Khan, Vivek Shauq, Charu Sharma, Rajiv Verma, Adi Irani, Atul Kinagi, Vedita Pratap Singh, Praveen Singh Sisodia,
 Vishwajeet Pradhan, Rakesh Shrivastav and Aslam Khan.
Director: Shankar Mondal
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.
