Force (2011) movie : Bollywoodchaska.com

Direction: *


Director Nishikant Kamat has the viewers' adrenalin pumping in this engrossing crime drama. Velocity and technique are the essence of FORCE. Add to it sharp dialogues and raw action. Though the storyline is far from novel, it is these attributes that keep you engrossed. Also, this deadly cat-and-mouse game ends in a spellbinding climax. Very frankly, the film has some fairly engrossing moments in the first hour, but there are times when you feel restless.


Acting:*
From showing off his chiseled body to lifting a 120 kg bike, John Abraham is a complete revelation and gives an outstanding performance. It is obvious that John has worked really hard -- honing his acting skills, concentrating on stunts and particularly on his physique. Besides action and his physique if we talk about John’s acting then it is nasty. It seems he has forcefully acted in Force.
Genelia is strikingly sweet and subdued. Besides, the on-screen chemistry between John and Genelia is infectious. The villain, portrayed by newcomer Vidyut Jammwal, is a worthy opponent, who is the proverbial Evil pitted against Good. His persona is striking and his performance, excellent. This guy is here to stay and his performance will be talked-about when the movie hits the screens.


Script:*
Yashvardhan [John Abraham] is a senior narcotics officer who doesn't play by the book, but always ensures that justice is served. He believes that the only way to eradicate crime is to give criminals the bullet -- not handcuffs. In the midst of his most dangerous and significant operation to crack down on India's drug cartels, Yashvardhan encounters a ruthless enemy Vishnu [Vidyut Jammwal], who will stop at nothing until he gets his revenge for the damage done to his business by the narcotics team.


Yashvardhan also meets the free-spirited Maya [Genelia D'Souza], whose love pushes him to make a choice between the life he already knows and the life he could have with her. Just when everything seems to be going right, the enemy strikes.


It's the raw action that stays with you. The action scenes [Allan Amin] are the type that will have the masses go in frenzy, especially these two sequences -- the chase [John chases Vidyut, soon after Vidyut attacks him] and also the finale confrontation.

Verdict:


The film has the requisite amount of zing and force, so essential for action movies that talk of heroism. You won’t miss out a lot of masala if you give it a miss.

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster movie review

Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster by Bollywoodchaska.com

Director:Tigmanshu Dhulia

Producer:Tigmanshu Dhulia, Rahul MittraStarring:Jimmy Sheirgill, Mahie Gill, Randeep Hooda

Release Date:30-09-2011

Direction: ****

Director Tigmanshu Dhulia, known for his political thrillers ( Haasil, Shagird ) attempts to revisit the classic love story of Sahib Bibi aur Ghulam (Meena Kumari - Guru Dutt) in contemporary times and a North Indian countryside setting. While deriving the essence from the original, his interpretation of the tale has an attitude and identity of its own, thereby averting any categorical comparisons.

Tigmanshu Dhulia gets the grammar of his milieu absolutely accurate. One can see royalty fading away through the paint peeling off the walls of Saheb's ancestral mansion. The mannerisms of the noblemen are as aptly captured as the polish in their language. Dialogues, undoubtedly, are a major highlight of the film with a powerful punch or a caustic remark in every second line. They don't write it like this anymore!

The director, at no point, lets the romance track overpower the original conniving essence of the film. Babloo falls for Biwi pretty early in the plot without the traditional trappings of a love story and yet their chemistry is credibly convincing. To achieve that the film employs explicit physical intimacy between the two, which despite being audacious, is never tawdry.

Acting:****

All the three title leads come up with brilliant performances and each character is so strongly written that no one overshadows the other. Jimmy Sheirgill has impressive screen presence and is authoritative in his commanding characterization of Saheb. Mahie Gill has the sensuality and maturity to pull off the role of Biwi with perfect poise. Her eccentricity, intimacy and deception add assorted shades and depth to her character.


Randeep Hooda plays the best character of his career so far and gets immense scope to show his performance prowess. The passion, obsession, emotions and expressions he brings to his character is simply outstanding. Deepraj Rana as the Saheb's loyal aide is a man of few words but strong screen presence. Shreya Narayan as the mistress exudes rustic sex-appeal. Vipin Sharma makes for a good negative lead. Deepal Shaw is decent as long as she lasts in her short-lived character.

Script:*****

Aditya Pratap Singh is Saheb (Jimmy Sheirgill) in his story, coming from a royal lineage, though royalty seems to be evading him with changing times. He struggles to maintain his regal lifestyle through his own political nexus. Biwi (Mahie Gill) is his third wife who yearns for Saheb's attention but he is too busy with his mistress. A smalltime gangster Babloo (Randeep Hooda) is appointed as the new driver of Saheb's wife. Soon enough, the lovelorn wife falls for Babloo, resulting into a lethal illicit affair. But there's more than what meets the eye.

Saheb Biwi aur Gangster has to its merit a taut and crisp script that never gives you a moment to blink and keeps you riveted through its runtime. All three protagonists have shades of grey but are so strongly developed that there is no single character that you are rooting for all through the film. And since you are almost equally inclined towards each of them, the narrative turns more unpredictable and interesting for you. Even the supporting characters - be it Saheb's loyal aide Kanhaiya, his mistress Mahua or his step-mom are integral to the narrative, adding density to the drama.

Verdict:

Strongly recommended. A must watch!

Tere Mere Phere Movie review

Director : Deepa Sahi
Producer: Anup Jalota, Ketan Mehta
Starring:Vinay Pathak, Riya Sen, Jagrat Desai, Sasha Goradia
Release Date: 30-09-2011

Rating- 2/10


Direction : **

It's certainly not a flying start for the film, as things go terribly wrong in the very first scene, where commotion ensues on an aircraft as if it were a fish market. Hereon there's no looking back. Actor-turned-director Deepa Sahi gets the grammar of slapstick filmmaking accurate, ensuring decibel levels never go down and pandemonium persists.

Acting :**

The consistently amateurish and deafening performances of both Sasha Goradia and Jagrat Desai only add to your trauma. Jagrat Desai also doubles up as the co-writer with Deepa Sahi to ascertain that the script is as much dull, dreary and dreadful. Enough has been spoken about Jagrat Desai and Sasha Goradia (though not as much as they jabber in the film). Vinay Pathak has been overdoing his underplayed act. The best that Sushmita Mukherjee does is gorge on rasgullas . Co-producer Anup Jalota can't resist a (dismal) cameo. Rohan Shah irritates. Thankfully Riya Sen is in a special appearance!

Script **

Rahul (Jagrat Desai) and Pooja (Sasha Goradia) are on their Himalayan honeymoon in a travel trailer. Imagine a romantic getaway in a self-driven caravan? And by no means is this a road movie! Tere Mere Phere is a wannabe attempt on the lines of 'Vinay Pathak brand' films like Chalo Dilli or Bheja Fry 2 about an incidental journey between two strangers, their contrasting chemistry and Pathak's co-passenger being victimized by his eccentricities. Just this time, it's Vinay Pathak who is at the receiving end and the contrasting chemistry is between the married couple.

Three days since their marriage, Rahul and Pooja are at loggerheads. Jai (Vinay Pathak) is aboard their caravan in a desperate attempt to reach ladylove Muskaan (Riya Sen) before she gets married off to someone else. But Rahul and Pooja's constant bickering gets so irritating (literally) that you don't blame Jai in losing faith in the institution of marriage by the climax.

The gist of the film comes from the theory that 'men are from Mars and women are from Venus'. And so focused is the film towards its central idea that it has nothing else on show but the constant clashes between the couple. The basic flaw of the film is that it attempts to discuss a lifetime of men-woman compatibility issues merely through the course of their week-long honeymoon. Clearly it bites off more than it can chew. So their quarrels are exaggerated to the extent that it irritates you incessantly.

Verdict :
Tere Mere Phere makes for a perfect anti-date film. Watch it if you dare a date with distress!

Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge - Baatein Shuru Song

Bodyguard roars yet again!

The star power of Hot Bollywood celebrity Salman Khan just doesn’t seize to amaze. As if the stupendous opening and success of Wanted, Dabangg and Ready was not enough to rave about, the actor’s latest blockbuster Bodyguard just set another record of a different kind.


Thanks to an innovative contest, with lucky winners getting free Bodyguard T-shirts, ticket sales at a chain of theatres belonging to the Rathi Group of Cinemas peaked again, with shows starting to run houseful once more in its third week.

“It was producer Atul Agnihotri’s idea to hold a contest at our theatres and give out Bodyguard T-shirts to the winners,” revealed exhibitor Akshaye Rathi of Rathi Group of Cinemas. “This initiative worked magic and ticket sales zoomed at all our theatres,” he added.


Atul Agnihotri said, “I’ve known  Akshaye since Hello and he’s always ready to do innovative promotions at his cinema chain. When the idea of Bodyguard T-shirts became such a big hit once the cast and crew started wearing them, we thought it would be a cool concept to extend it to Akshaye’s properties. We did it from the heart and are glad the idea of the T-Shirts is a super hit.”


Meanwhile, Bodyguard’s fortunes continue to overwhelm the industry. The film, made at a budget of 60 crores, made history in Indian cinema by earning 22 crores on the first day of its release. What’s more! In just three weeks of the release, the movie has crossed Dabangg’s India box-office figure of 141 crores, and emerged India’s second biggest grosser of all time.

Bodyguard- Highest Opening Ever At The Box Office

This year’s Eid release Bodyguard, opened with the smashing response. The Salman Khan film on the first day with packed houses all over the country and trade analysts predicts that the collections to be in the range of 18-20 crore.


In the past we have seen Salman’s Dabangg earned 14.35 Crores while 3 Idiots were two biggest openings.   


Trade Expert Taran Adarsh says,“ Salman is something else now. I think the movie has earned almost `20 crore on day one and over the weekend, it will cross `85-90 crore.”


Komal Nahta is more conservative in his estimates and pegs the weekend collection at `65-70 crore. However, Nahta says the film has broken all international records too.


Nahta reveals, “In Dubai, the movie opened on Tuesday because that's when Eid was celebrated. While "Dabangg" had opened with 7 lakh dirhams (`87 lakh), "Bodyguard" made 11 lakh dirhams (`1.36 crore). In London, the movie opened with a collection of 60,000 pounds (`44.4 lakh) on Tuesday, which too is unheard of. It has broken all previous records for any Bollywood film.”


While analysts gives the credit to Salman for the massive collections, multiplex and single screen officials reveals about various strategies have come together to help the film.


Tinku Singh, group president, SRS group, says, “In NCR, we ran 53 shows in Faridabad, and 22 and 30 shows in Gurgaon and Indirapuram. The total collection on day one was `24 lakh. It is houseful across the country. After the "Aarakshan" fiasco, everyone's rejoicing with this movie. And the thing 


to remember here is that the movie opened on a Wednesday, so it will have five days, plus two more weekends at least, to make a lot more money.”


Also, "Boduguard" opened to weekend pricing across most multiplexes, giving them much more revenue. However, PVR Cinemas chose to go ahead with weekday pricing for Wednesday, and reported 95% occupancy in the morning shows, and 100% occupancy towards the evening. Out of 550 shows in PVR halls, approximately 325 were played in Delhi and Punjab. Says Deepa Menon, vice president, corporate communications for PVR Cinemas, "The movie saw an excellent opening in Delhi-NCR, ending the day with nearly 95% occupancy, which is quite phenomenal. This definitely is one of the biggest openings on day one that we've seen."

Even in single-screen theatres, the film has done record-breaking business in Delhi-NCR. While Vishal in Rajouri Garden reported a total of `4.5 lakh in four shows, all four shows were houseful in Delite, said Sunil Parashar, media coordinator for Dellite. Sheila Cinema in Paharganj too, saw four full shows, totalling a collection of over `3 lakh. Says Parashar, "During "Ready", ticket prices had been increased by 20% even in single-screen halls. But for "Bodyguard", even at normal single-screen prices, the movie has broken all records. Most single screens are houseful till Sunday."

Salman refuses to believe 'Bodyguard' is a success: Atul Agnihotri

Bollywood celebrity Salman Khan is recovering after an eight-hour surgery in Pittsburgh and refuses to believe that his 'Bodyguard' has broken box-office records, says his brother-in-law and co-producer Atul Agnihotri.

Salman, who underwent surgery for a nerve problem that was causing exruciating pain in his head, jaws and cheeks, believes his family is just trying to cheer him up by telling him that 'Bodyguard' is rocking the box office.

'He is not totally convinced. He is thinking that we are saying this to cheer him up. This is because he is totally cut off from his regular sources. If he had been in Mumbai, he would have had more interaction, seen more TV and read editorials. There he is totally depending on what we are saying,' Atul, who co-produced the film with Reliance.

'Bodyguard', which released on Eid Wednesday, has surpassed the opening day box-office collection of 'Dabangg' (Rs.14.5 crore) and '3 Idiots' (Rs.13 crore) by garnering Rs.22 crore in the domestic market.

Salman, 45, is expected to be home in 10 days. He is currently under observation, said Atul.

First, they did some test on him and then he was subjected to the first medical procedure. The surgery went for eight hours. Now he is under three-day observation. I think tomorrow night (Saturday) or day after (Sunday) morning they will review and go for the next step. He 

will be there for a week or 10 days more,? he said.

Atul is riding high on the unprecedented success of the Salman-Kareena Kapoor starrer action-drama, which has received overwhelming response from the audiences despite bad reviews.

We were expecting a good opening but the number has gone beyond our prediction. For us, before the release (of 'Bodyguard'), `Dabangg? was the benchmark. That we have surpassed, which is a great thing, he said.

The film is scoring high even in south despite being a Hindi remake of Malayalam film of the same name. It was also made in Tamil.

Even in Cochin where people have seen both its Tamil and Malayalam version, the film is doing extremely well. Till yesterday (Thursday) we had two theatres, today (Friday) we have opened up third screen so that?s an indicator of the reaction of the audience in south,? said the 41-year-old actor-director-producer.

Atul is expecting the box office collection to touch Rs.85 crore by this weekend.

As 31st was a holiday, we did a business of around Rs 21.57 crore, then yesterday (Thursday) we have touched about Rs.19 crore again. In that sense we have already done around Rs.41 crore and above, across India. Today is a Friday. In three days (including weekends) there is a possibility that we would cross Rs.80 to Rs.85 crore in India, said Atul.
