Its smooth, fast and furious..!!
Its a prison in Moscow, USSR. Benji Dunn succeeds to hack prison server system and opens lock of a cell gate, a big fat criminal comes out and a guard go to him to get him back to his cell, now Benji opens another gate and prisoners come out and start attacking guard. Many gates get opened and there will be chaos everywhere, there is presence of a person in a dark cell, he knows whats happening, he knows what he has to do, he gets out of his cell and smoothly jumps down one floor. Yes, he is Ethan Hunt of IMF. Ethan goes into the chaos and gets a prison friend of him and manages to fight guards and higher security to get to a room, the floor starts to break and an IMF team member waiting for Ethan down, they jump down and start walking and the Mission Impossible Theme Music starts...........
Its just a start, Mission Impossible's new installment to the franchise offers more action, more adventure and more technology than expected. Its smooth, its fast and its furious..!! One more fine spy movie adds to the Mission Impossible franchise..!! Even though there are some loopholes in the screenplay, especially in the part shot in India, movie goes mind-blowing. The technology, action, stunning performances, locations, cinematography and the MI Theme are enough to say its a MUST- WATCH. Its must watch for action lovers, but those who interested to see just Anil Kapoor or India in this Hollywood flick, i can assure you that you will be disappointing. The concept is not so strong but the gadgets and actions hide the loopholes and wont leave a single dull moment. The technology used in the movie are tremendous. Brian De Palma's MI-1 was standard and brilliant. John Woo's MI-2 was stylish and futuristic. J J Abrams's MI-3 was thrilling and edgy. Now Brad Bird is speed, thrilling, stunts and full of gadgets.
Tom Cruise with his Double Agent attitude, stunts and performance, simply superb. You will fall in love with him when he do the Burj Khalifa stunt. Its a must watch for all, his fans and non-fans. He makes a lot of jumps in movie, almost all the time his finishing of that jump won't be perfect, which makes the movie perfect..!! I loved it.. Newly promoted Simon Pegg who is new addition to the team, is hilarious and your eyes will searching for his appearance all the time. Perfect witty dialog delivery in the very serious moments is specialty of Simon. Jeremy Renner the IMF desk analyst turned IMF team member impresses with his performance.He did wonderful job in The Town and The Hurt Locker. Acclaimed filmmaker of animated films like The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and Ratatouille, Brad Bird succeeds to add another perfect spy action to MI franchise. He succeeds to keep up the fast pace, action and thrills, and the main attraction to bring new technologies which will be used by IMF team. The visionary ideas, imaginations of futuristic gadgets and technology used by IMF team members are brilliant and main highlight of the movie. Some of them will shock you and you will be hungover when you finish the movie. The virtual screen, contact lens printer, glass climber, magnetic jacket and list goes on.. Its a treat for gadget freaks, one step more to Bond movies i can say. Cinematography by Robert Elswit is tremendous. The way he shot from copters or whatever when a new city is introduced or a major building like Burj Khalifa is brilliant. Action scenes will be real-like, and the credit goes to Robert Elswit and IMAX cameras. Concept and story by André Nemec, Josh Appelbaum is good but it fails to impress everybody, movie gets highlighted for the technology used and action scenes, but the concept is not so great, but dialogs are hilarious and its more comic than any other MI movies, but i like this one better. There are plenty of action sequences and its a total treat for action lovers, i thought its one of the best action after Die Hard 4.0. The main action attraction is the stunt by Tom Cruise in Burj Khalifa. It will remain in your mind for long time. Action lovers will definitely won't be disappointed. Right amount of MI theme music in right time make you love this fast paced movie for sure.
For Indians : Brad Bird's team ignored screenplay of the movie in Indian parts. They say that its Mumbai, Maharashtra where Hendricks facilitated the sale of a defunct Soviet military satellite to Indian telecommunications entrepreneur Brij Nath (Anil Kapoor), and that satellite could be used to transmit missile-firing instructions, Tom Cruise and Paula Patton succeed to gather satellite override code. Then they show them driving to television broadcasting tower of Brij Nath, they show streets in Mumbai (In front of Chatrapathi Shivaji terminals, Marine Drive). Then they reach to television broadcasting tower where the signs say its "Sun Network", also written in Kannada Language, which is definitely in Bangalore. Also some other indoor shots show some signs in Kannada which is language of Bangalore. If it was Mumbai they had to show it in Hindi or Marathi. Also sun network is a South Indian TV network. Its a loophole which Indians will find out. They know that even Indians watch this movie, so they had to be a little careful in it. We did not expect this kind of silly mistakes from such a huge filmmakers from Hollywood. From last few months Indians heard a lot of hype over Anil Kapoor's role in this movie, for which we have to think that Anil kapoor is there all over movie, but he is there just for 5-10 minutes..!! It was a cheap promotional technique. Visit bangnext for more reviews..
Rockstar (2011)
A different world of music..!!
Sadda Haq, Itthe raq..!! Crowd cheer in excitement, a Rockstar stops singing and starts talking.. He says he is searching for Parindey (Birds) which flew away when the forests cut-down into the urban buildings around. He asks the crowd "Do you know where are those Parindey..??" And not only the crowd on screen, but also the crowd in Cinema Hall responses "NOOOOOOOO". And he continues with Sadda Haq..!!
Yet Another successful attempt from Imtiaz Ali and its wonderful. In spite of having some boring and dull moments, movie doesn't disappoint you for sure. Movie is having 3 leads, Ranbir Kapoor, Mohith Chouhan and.R. Rahman..!!
Janardhan Jakhar (Ranbir Kapoor), a talented musician. Having taken Khatara bhai's sermons on art and pain a bit too seriously; lost, confused, mildly stupid, vaguely asexual Janardhan (JJ, in short, Jordan later) goes around looking to get frustrated! Tries to get failed in love, a gorgeous girl Heer Kaur (Nargis Fakhri) dancing at her college auditorium, dil todne ki machine of college, he fails in even that. Then he get to know that girl, Oddly, they do make for great friends. As Heer desires to fulfill all kinds of crazy needs to be fulfilled before her marriage, Janardhan and Heer start finishing the list of desires, like a Light porno 'Janglee Jawani' in Delhi Chandni Chowk's street theater, Desi Daaru and all. Then Heer gets married, moves on. Janardhan gets thrown out of his house by his brothers for using family business money to enjoy time with Heer. The boy finds enough frustration in his life to produce his expressive music is spotted by a shehnai ustad (Shammi Kapoor, as Bismillah Khan).anardhan is by now the incredibly famous as Jordan who is negative personality for public. Will he forget his love?will he move on with his celebrity life?
Movie is totally soulful, it expresses you the pain of an artist as well as a lover, the touchy moments succeeds to bring emotions. Love failure follows a tribute to the Devdas. Movie is more like a tribute to old bollywood love failure movies than story on another Jim Morrison.
Movie is filled with excellent performances, Ranbir Kapoor in one of his best roles, he is a perfect Rockstar, perfect lover, perfect Idiotic 'Gawaar', Perfect love failure, perfect arrogant negative personality. and we are seeing him as one upcoming legend of Bollywood for sure. Shammi Kapoor in his last role which is a decent cameo. Nargis Fakhri was giving over-dramatic expressions but succeeds to bring a good chemistry between Ranibir and Herself. Kumud Mishra as Jordan's adviser turned manager is impressive. Everyone else in the movie gives a very good performances, maybe the credit goes to Imtiaz ali.
There are lot of Hilarious Dialogues and also some easily predictable conversations which are obviously dull. Some moments of the movie falls dull and some parts in second half you find boring. The twists and turns in second half gets confused in some parts and loses its plot, but still it manages its pace. Some of scenes are shot multiple times in different character's view, which confuses sometimes.
But overall the movie goes in fast pace and without a doubt, first half is more promising than second. Anil Mehta's cinematography is brilliant as he captures the beauty of Kashmir, Italy and Delhi. The beautiful locals makes you wait to blink. A.R.Rahman's music makes this musical more strong and enhances the experience. Perfectly suited voice of Mohith Chouhan makes you the real feel of Rockstar performed by Ranbir. Die hard romantic fans will love this one like there is no other movie. Its a treat for Ranbir fans as well as non-fans..!! Watch this one for him and A.R.Rahman, these two are real Rock-stars..!!
Desi Boyz (2011)
Looks like Akshay is finally came to his senses..!!
Akshay Kumar(Akki)'s comic timing and Daddy David Dhavan's experience in Comedy movies works together to bring a decent entertainer. Of course there are dull moments especially emotional ones and some senseless situations, story-line is decent and weak in some parts, but the funny parts hide most of these to make this a good entertainer..!! Debutant director Rohit Dhawan son of David Dhavan's this Comedy-Emotional-Romance with of course Indian Masala Story which is definitely tolerable and nice Time-pass. Akki's talent was hidden in few intolerable movies from 2-3 years, but this time he succeeds to lit fire on screen and he comes back. Rohit Dhavan's mind, Akki's talent, Akki-john chemistry, Two hot 'tottaas' and witty dialogues by Renuka Kanzru are highlight of the movie, Still, Magic of Akki worked above all, after a longtime. Movie will start with an introduction to recession when childhood friends Jignesh "Jerry" Patel (Akshay Kumar) and Nikhil "Nick" Mathur (John) will be living together and enjoying life. Nick is an Investment banker and Jerry works as security guy in a mall. Nick is in love with Radhika Awasthi (Deepika Padukone) and they decide to marry and she will be planning for her exotic marriage and expensive honeymoon, and now recession hits London and boys lose their jobs. After losing jobs we get to know that Jerry had sister who died with her husband in a accident (AS USUAL..!!) leaving a boy to look after, Veer (Shraman Jain)..!! Now all responsibilities makes boys to work as Male escorts in most popular strip-club in town, "Desi Boyz"..!! Where they get successful as hottest Strip Boys as 'Rocco & Hunter' in London, but when Radhika finds out, she calls off the marriage as well as love also this job makes Jerry to lose Veer (Nephew)'s Custody. Boys quit the job and since Jerry is the reason for Nick to join in "Desi Boyz", it brings a fight which departs boys . Now without any money, bankrupt boys will get serious about career and relationship. Nick will fighting for love outside Radhika's house by pleading forgiveness and her father Suresh Awasthi (Anupam Kher) will be helping Nick in this, where Jerry will rejoin College to complete his graduation and get a reputed job so that he regains the custody of Veer. In college he meet his old classmate Chitrangada who is economic teacher for him..!! Will boys succeed in what they started now..?? Will boys get together as before..?? Movie is fun and maintained with required emotions and sentiments since its an Indian movie, here it succeeds and it really brought a good and very simple story-line as a good time-pass. Screenplay-direction-Story by Rohit Dhavan tells us there is a bright future for David Dhavan's son. Akki is back on track with right choice of role, John as usual, no expression-only body-abs exposure (Which is really great though..!!), but there was a good chemistry between John and Akki. Deepika and Chitrangada were filled with performance and hotness and succeeds to impress. Anupam Kher and Omi Vaidya were excellent, and Sanjay Dutt's cameo was a treat. Music by Pritham was just okay with few foot tapping numbers. Cinematography by Natarajan Subramaniam covering exotic places in London is a treat to eyes. Movie is of course "A" rated with 2 Hot Strip boys and many adult jokes like 'Qualifications chodo, apni measurements toh bolo", while Akki filling out the application form for "Desi Boyz" he writes his shoe size in the column size and many more. Anupam Kher and John getting high with Grass and telling themselves to 'Keep off the grass' includes in the list. Its just one time watchable, but still Watch it for Akki and for fun with your bunch of friends, and you have to expect a dramatic climax scene which i really do hate but this was funny but of course senseless and i wish it wasn't there. Girls will love to see 'Rocco' and 'Hunter' shirtless and Nick in Yamaha Vmax, and boys will be seeing only Deepika and Chitrangada when they are on screen.
