PARTNER


Yep David Dhawan does it once again . This time DD has come out again with his trump card Chi Chi i meant Govinda. We have seen so many movies in this combination which has made us laugh like hell. This time also its same .Salman ,,what can be said about him ,, he is a super star and he has proved again that Y he is still in the KHAN race.

Patner is a movie with not so strong story and script but with hillarious situations performed extraordinarily well by SALLU and GOVINDA. Salman come up again with the role of PREM as he has been doing from his 1st hit .He plays LOVE GURU who makes a profession to help people in getting their life partners.On the other side we have evergreen comedy king Govinda playing the role of BHASKHAR,, to be frank Gov never needed a comebak to get into boots of comedy but his choice of movies past few years has been really horrible ,, so it can said and stated strongly that Gov is bang with a bang and i m sure he is out to stay in Bollywood with comic timing prowess.How Govinda gets the love of Katrina with help of love guru and how love guru tries hard to win heart of Lara Dutta is the basic plot.

All said u need to remember 1 thing its a David Dhavan movie, so u need to put ur brains in ur house and go to the theater. Its a comedy film where u r sure to laugh through out the movie and dont arise Qs like "Does Bhaskar needs to ask Prem about 1st night with his wife ?? " && many more Qs.If u r in mental tension go to Partner , u ll come out laughing and will make u free for that atleast 3 hrs .

Combination of David+Salman+Govinda makes the movie so brilliant. Songs are also well composed . I felt Maria song should have been cut down.

But hang on .....1st half of the movie is so excellent that u expect the same from the 2nd half also but ,,tempo of the movie becomes slow after the interval . Unnecessary scenes of Arti Chabria should have been cut down and few others also .This year we have rarely seen a movie which is flawless,,so cant blame much for this comic ride PARTNER.

So dont miss this ,, watch it GOVINDA and SALMAN.....these 2 guys simply rock and when u watch them u too will say the same . Rib tickling comedy and a laughter ride.
Plss dont start asking logic and other reality things after watching the movie , u ll love it.

My rating : ***1/2

Harry Potter 5,, ORDER OF PHOENIX


Finally in this episode we get to see HARRY and his warriors rebelling against the evil.The plot of the movie is so bizzare that its perfect for book reading rather than watching on a big screen. Director David Yeats tried his level best to present the story.Saying all that the movie does not really come out as good as part 4 of the Potter series.

PLOT: Movie does not mess up with unnecessary things , it directly enters into the story from scene 1.Harry is troubled by dark lord Voldermort in his dreams. As the movie moves on Harry is put up with illegal charges on his name and lands in a position where he might be expelled from the Hogwarts. The school is implemented with strict rules which the student never witnessed before.Dolores Jane Umbridge(Imelda Staunton) brings in these stringent conditions. No one believes in the words of Potter who tries to convey them that Voldemort is back . Later u ll witness Potter prepares his team for war and the manner in which Voldermort arrives.
In this whole fight Sirius Black is killed.Dont forget ,,,, we get to watch the first kiss of Potter...hmmmmm

Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge is played by Imelda Staunton and she might be considered for oscars . She is seen as a martinet and has wonderfull screen presence for playing out the negative shades.The best scene in the movie is at a point where WHESLEYs rebel against the rules of the school when all the students are into an examination.Its simply a superb shot where u get to see full of fire works.

Climax is a bit of dissapointed because much of action is between Voldemort and Dumbelldore.Harry is not made the real hero in the climax as we have seen the older movies,, but the story cannot me meddled ,,afterall its taken from the best seller.

Alright finally I dont think children will enjoy if they get into the theaters thinking of the past episodes ,but this is much darker movie and at times terrifying.
Story is weak but well presented on the reel and credit goes to director Yeats.I feel even a hard core Potter fan might be bit dissapointed. Not to forget DANIEL RADCLIFF who is turning into an fab actor.So watch it for him and witness an actor in him .

My rating: **1/2

DIE HARD 4 (Live free or Die hard)


We have always known BRUCE WILLIS as a macho man of Hollywood . An actor who has established himself as a brand of DIE HARD movies. Its been long since i have seen Bruce on a big screen,, last time i saw him in Charlies Angels in a small cameo for few minutes playing the role of William Rose Bailey. Before that he surprised the Hollywood family in the sci fi movie Sixth Sense directed by Indian born Manoj Night Shyamalam. In this he played the role of Dr.Malcom Crowe,, who acts as an interpreter and helper  to a child who sees dead people speaking .This movie came just after Armagaddon , and shocked everyone with his performance.
  
Story:
     So now speaking of Die Hard 4 , its just an action packed movie with so many canard interpretations of computer security and technology. Story gets messed up because too much of computer gadgets were shown and too much is shown on screen which gets difficult to be understood by a ordinary person who is not from Computer area
(luckily i m from CS back ground).   
Timothy Olyphant plays a hacker(Thomas Gabriel) or infact can be said as a person who controls all the hackers , he gets the control of NATIONAL DATA ADMINSTRATION , and accquires all the private information of the US government. For a moment u get a feeling of impossible taking place and matter of absurdity hovering around u .
Its upto John to stop the hacking scenario and to get the computer network into orginal condition .
Justin Long must be appreciated for his role as a computer geek (Matt Farrell) and by nature a hacker .He teams up with John to stop this catastrope .Saying all these i still dont mean that its a good movie .

   There are few scenes where u r dragged on and u just start to feel bored then a good action packed scene is brought before u and doing so director Len Wiseman must be applauded for doing  few wise things at right time .There are few lighter moments in the movie which can tickel ur bones , one of them is when Justin Long speaks to a rescue center for getting started a car. 1st part of the movie goes on smoothly which can entertain u  but 2nd half has a very weak screenplay and story line up . So  movies flow gets hampered because of 2nd half .The whole episode of Johns daughter getting kidnapped by Gabriel was a bit of nonsense and i felt was just to drag the movie a head and pull ur time out.
    
Acting wise :
                  Justin Long did a fair job and did full justice to his role , and though not presented in action sequences he came out with good role.Bruce Willis did what he does best in all his movies. This is nothing new to us .All the action scenes were well picturised and Bruce came out well though he is 52 yrs of age .

   So overall its an average movie , which can be seen once . But when u get into the theater just dont think about the story , its an entertainment movie with lots of action stuffs.Though the screeplay and story is thin it will keep u locked to ur seats for 1st half but u get temepered seeing the 2nd half of the movie .So better watch the movie with ur friends on a weekend rather than with ur girl friend , u will not get bored. There are lots of flaws,, but what can be done there are no other good holly movies around to watch .

   My rating 2 /5

AWARAPAN


Bhatt camp proves again after giving us some stunning movies like ZEHER,GANGSTER,ZAKHM,WHO LAMHE,KALYUG and now AWARAPAN.
Story spks abt the movie,,wen stry is good there is no need of huge cast and this movie is surely a rise of a star .Credit goes to director MOHIT SURI.

Story::
To begin with , AWARAPAN is a movie abt an atheist(SHIVAM) played by IMRAN HASMI who starts believing in GOD becos of his girl friend played by Shreya.Their love plot is very short but is well picturised and this forms the pith of the movie .
Later movie deals about the flesh trade and how the other heroine(Mrinalini) is a victim of it .I don wanna go deep into stry better u just watch the movie.

Rise of IMRAN ::
Now this movie is clear scenario of changing bolywood with good script .Imran Hashmi sheds his image of serial kisser .His silence speaks in this movie .There are hardly any dialogues in the movie for imran .Most of the movie he stays silent and proves wid his acting .During the dialogue delivery (tears come out of his eyes) he cries which are real signs of matured actor .Shreya has nothing much to play in the movie is looking stunning and does justice for her 10 mins role .Special mention must be given for PURAB KOHLI who does a fab job as an drug addict.

EXCELLENT MUSIC::
This years best music is sure to be that of AWARAPAN as of now .Every song is well picturised in scenic locations of RAJASTHAN , HONK KONG ,PAKISTAN.
Credit goes to PRITAM for proving his again his credentials .Back ground score is simply stunning .
Its a short 2 hrs movie which will enthrall u from the start ,,from very well shot entry of IMRAN HASMI.

So AWARAPAN is a complete package of a good movie which again proves the prowess of BHATT+IMRAN combination and most importantly no kissing for the first time in 5 yrs of bhatt camp movies. Applause to director Mohit Suri.

So my rating 4/5.

LIFE in a METRO is good...


UTV has been in news for past 1 yr.Firtsly credit went to them for making history by bringing out message oriented movie like RANG DE BASANTI .Recently they have signed PRIYANKA CHOPRA for a 3 movie deal .Now they have come out with a wonderfull movie METRO.
Anurag Basu must be given full credit for making a movie of that stature with not not so famous but good actors.After Gangster its again party time for Anurag.

PLOT::
The movie deals about few people and how its all day for most of the people living in METRO.How a couple are facing with troubled times played by SHILPA Shetty and KK Menon.We have Sharman Joshi who wants to come up in life and always aims high ,,and to aquire these he can go to any extent.The key episode of his flat is funny and a superb concept of the movie (U need to watch this). Shiney Ahujaa is a stage performer and fells in love with Shilpa Shetty and by the way she too start loving him .Sharman loves Kangnaa ,, but Kangnaa to satisy her lust involves her self into sex with KK husband of Shilpa.Not to forget the plot of old people ,, its between GARAM Dharam and Nafisaa Ali , they come out as a surprise.

BEST PART:
Amazing part of the movie is between Konkana Sen and Imran khan .I dont want to reveal a single bit of this part because u need to watch their episode and how these two mature actors deliver that stunning performances .
U need to watch the climax , then only u ll get to know who will meet finally whom and the manner in which this takes place.

Music is ultimatley the life of the music because it goes with the movie ,,now again its Pritam at his best , giving continous hits .Combination of Pritam and Anurag after Gangster creates wonders again.

So overall its worth watching .A movie for matured minds and a speacial class of people .I doubt whtr all people will like this movie and if u r leading a busy life in a busy city its a must watch movie.Dont miss it .

4/5

Pirates 3 : At the WORLDS END



"This day will always be remembered as the day u almost caught CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW"... this very statement was present in part 1 and 2 ,, and was missing in part 3 .
So part 3 is some what a bit dissapointing , but neverthless its entertaining and far better than Spiderman 3.

CAST and CREW being flawless:

As usual JHONNY DEPP playing captain JACK stands out in acting department. Watch out for his entrance.He is at his best and does 100% justice to his role and this again might be nominated for the OSCARS. Orlando plays Will turner and Keiraa knitley plays Elizibeth swann do a fair job and these characters are nothing new to us .
Music by Hans Zimmer is flawless and still has same energy as the previous versions .
Though the story is bit thin Director Gore Verbinski makes sure that its presented in a perfect and well crafted manner .

STORY:

 Its all about bringing an end to DAVY JONES and how this is done with help of the pirates crew.In the middle key part is about Calyspo infact love life of Davy Jones.Will Turner is killed at the climax part ,, but just before his death the marriage cermony of his and Elizibeth on the ship under the prayers of Babossa is a really a worth watch .
I doubt abt part 4 of this series but it has ended on a scenario which says "FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH".It would be awesome if we again get a chance to watch Jhonny playing JACK.

So saying all this I still stand on my verdict where i said story is weak and may be it could have been better.But u can give a go because this is only Hollywood movie in this summer movie which gives u something of so called entertainment.Keep ur fingers crossed and hope that part 4 would be releasing in a couple of years .Watch this for JACK SPARROW , u ll love it ..

3/5




JHOOM BARABAR JHOOM::::

WORST, HORRIBLE,TORTURE,UNBEARABLE............
I m dissapointed for 2 main reasons 1) MOVIE SUCKS completely from start to end.
2) No CHAK DE INDIA trailer at the begining of the movie, its been shown all over INDIA and not in vizag....

Anyways coming to movie JHOOM .. . Plss my sincere advice is dont go to watch the movie.Bad direction, bad acting, bad screen play all is bad.
YASH RAJ PRODUCTIONS will be shut down if they make these kind of horrible movies .They are slowly degrading in their quality of making BOLLYWOOD movies.This yr they made KABUL EXPRESS , which did not run , TARA RUM PUM was a average movie and JHOOM will be a big flop for this big banner production house.
Only one song is good and this titile track comes in 5 shades in the whole movie .

Y BACHAN ?????
i still don understand wat was bachan doing in movie , many get a doubt that is he a begger who wants some bucks ,,since he comes at the start of movie and with that single song comes in between again and again till the climax.(A song with installment.)

Abhishek(RIKKI THUKRAL) is hampered with bad script and direction .Bobby Deol has nothing to do and plays a SICK CHARACTER .

Its mere waste to say anything abt LARA DUTTA(Anaida) , only skin show from her.

Although myself being a big big fan of PRETTY PREITY ZINTA , have to say that this is undoubtadely worst performance of hers as of date .But she looks hot in the final song with a golden colored dress,,.. (guys hold on thats also just 4 to 5 mins thats it )
DIRECTOR shd be blamed for this 2 hrs 30 mins torture.

Lot was said abt music , but its mediocre and back ground score was bull shit .Never expected this kind of music from SHANKAR EHSAN LOY.
When u r watching the movie , u will surely say "WAT THE f**k, am i seeing".This movie does not stand to the hype and a big dissapointment for preity and abhishek fans .
I believe may get its collection since its made under YASH RAJ BANNER , but i pray that this shd not get even the half the money.
1/5..

ShootOut ....


I shd say a very good commercial movie as of now in yr 2007 (yep betta than TARA RUM PUM ).
The basic USP of the movie is that it has been directly taken from from a real incident that
that took place in MUMBAI , the shootout in mumbai in early 90s .

I donno whether the real shhoting was justified in the movie but upto some extent it was
bang on target.Sanjay Dutt played the real life character (ATS CHIEF) KHAN. He a done a
awesome performance.

Vivek Oberio comes out as a surprise . U will be reminded of RAM GOPAL VERMAs company
after watching his performance .He stands out along with SANJAY in the movie.He plays the
role of gangster MAYA DOLA .As of now he ll be a contentdor for a award in -ve character

There is only 1 scene in which the gangsters meet the police men into a conversation and it
is the best scenein the movie. Conversation between SANJAY DUTT and VIVEK is simply superb.

Sunil Shetty does justice to his role and his tappori language suits him best and he does
these pretty well .Tushar , i felt was a wrong choice but rest all delivered well upto
expectations .

Heroines(DIA, NEHA, AARTI CHABRIA) nothing much to say since they don have much to play .

Added advantage to gripping stry is the background score , as always producer SANJAY GUPTA
made sure background is good as in KANTEE, MUSAFHIR and ZINDA .


So overall it can be said that SHOOTOUT is a first major hit ,hmmmm may be first superhit
of 2007.Its a paisaa wasool movie and sure to attract the masses and the young specially
boys who like action movies .

BHEJA FRY


This was a movie which was made with just 50 laks and it has went on to make more than 7 crores .
Its a short 1hr 45 mins movie which will make u laugh from the very begining.
Almost all actors have emerged from stage shows and have exhibited their wonderfull traits.
Movie has been set only in a single night .More over the movie deals with break ups , freindship and most importantly as shown in the movie IDIOTS .

U r sure to laugh

4/5

wahh fry hoo toh aiseeee

Spidey Sucks


SPIDER MAN who ate the brains of people.........
It was said by ppl before release of this movie "MOST EAGERLY WAITED MOVIE OF THE YEAR" and this wat ppl said wen they were watching the movie "I M EAGERLY WAITING TO THE MOVIE TO GET OVER".
Watever there was eagerness for some reason or the other .

SURPRISE FACTOR :
2 Things really surprise me , 1st ly how can a good director can make such a horrible movie .
Secondly i m surprised to hear to that some ppl liked the movie(GOD i really donno y they liked the movie).

MOVIE stinks and suksss for many reasons .Weak story with bizzare characters with changing attitudes.
Sand man made everyone sick.

LOVE PLOT : wats happening to MARY JEANE , i can really term her as a good PROSTITUTE becos in SPIDEY 1 she like HARRY Osborn , in Spidey 2 she fells in love with other felow some captain and with SPIDEY .In 3rd again loves spidey and she kisses HARRY.Wats this complexity and to make worse SPIDEY kisses some other gal .

 Horrible screenplay with not so great graphics .The greatest draw back for the movie was SPIDERMAN 2 roked and everyone loved it for its wonderfully potrayal of characters and action scenes .Spiderman 3 is no where close to previous versions .

It can be really said that its most horrible movie of the yr 2007 , plss dont watch this movie and if u watch also go with minimum of 10 friends so that u time gets passed (as in my case).


I will rate 3/10 only for 1 thing that is for creating some buzz and hype .

If this goes on like this plsssss stop making spiderman movies my dear director SAM RAIMI .

Not so smooth TARA RUM PUM


Tara rum pum
Movie is completely a family entertainer .
First its a set bak for director SIDHART after making a movie like SALAM NAMESTAY .
1st half is very gud where u get to laugh .
2 nd half is a bit senti , which is sure to attract the families .
Its completely a multiplex movie .

Car Races are pictuirised well .Background score is not that great .
Javed Jaffrey stands out in acting wise .Saif as usual at his best .

Overall 3/5.
Can watch once .

GURU bhaii aiyaa chay , dhoom laya chay


GURU
A person who wants to do MBA and who is dreaming big shd chk out this movie .

1st thing when i say abt GURU is the background score of A.R.RAHMAN and he proved once again hesthe GURU in the industry with his composures.I say no GURU without RAHMAN.
Direction of MANI RATNAM is awesome and is sure to get applauds something which is not new for him and his movies.
Abhishek Bachan gives a shocking performance and will be remembered in the BOLLYWOOD for this role in the industry for yrs to come .I doubt whether AB will again get a role of this huge stature.
Surprise package was infact ASH , after DEVDAS i felt ASH was a big shit in the industry making no sense in the media, u see like DHOOM 2 ,UMRAO JAAN etc bloody movies .But she proved wrong in the GURU.Her silence speaks in the movie and has been potryed very well in the movie .

Finally wat i can say abt GURU is its a movie for "LITERATES".I dont think everyone will like the movie but any one wants to know wat is life before being suceess and afetr being succeess its a must watch for them .
I would rate 4/5 for the movie
