A Remake of a South Blockbuster, 'Ready' directed by Anees Bazmee has a terrific first hour working all the way on it's advantage, but a loud and long second hour is not up-to the mark. What stands tall in this film, more than it's music and one-liners, is Salman Khan - The Superstar.
This tale of a Boy trying to win back his Girl from her greedy uncles, unfolds wonderfully in the first hour. The second hour loses pace, though Salman never fails to deliver.
While The First Hour is entertaining and packs in several terrific moments, it's The Second hour that loses pace. Though the Climax is good, the film loses pace and becomes loud. I feel, if shorter by at least 20-25 minutes, this comedy's impact would have enhanced big time.
Anees Bazmee's direction is fair. Cinematography is perfect. Editing could've been sharper. Music by Pritam & Devi Sri Prasad, is awesome. All the songs are hummable and memorable.
Performance-Wise: Salman is the LIFE of the show. He delivers a stylish and lively performance, that holds your attention from start to end. He manages to hold you even the second hour. Asin is okay. Mahesh Manjrekar, Manoj Joshi & Manoj Pahwa are first-rate. Sharat Saxena & Akhilendra Mishra are loud, but that's the demand of their characters. Arya Babbar is good. Anuradha Patel, Gargi & Eva Grover are passable. Paresh Rawal is Fantastic, like always. An Actor who never disappoints! Sanjay Dutt, Ajay Devgn, Kangna & Zarine Khan appear in brief cameos.
On the whole, 'Ready' is entertaining, but what makes this film stand tall, is Salman Khan. If you LOVE Salman, then missing this comedy is your loss.
