TALAASH - Double Movie Review:


Though i knew  the consequence  or suspense  whatever u say, i was  gripped  to it right  from the very first second,!! In ordinary genres  we  can call it to be  a suspense thriller, or  maybe  even a  slight hinge  of fear.! But for  me  it was  some  real extraordinary grasping stuff.! And  i felt  maybe  sometimes  when you know what you are to expect makes  you watch it all the more  carefully and with  all the more  curiosity.!

Being a  policeman, sometimes  does  take  a  test of your patience, your  thinking power. How much do you fight to make  your  brain distinguish between whats real and whats not.. whats  luring you and  what seems  the unpleasant truth.!! Suri did really lie  between a  situation just jamming up even more ..
And well, for  me  the  most intriguing part was  the  guilt  that was  being shown by amir  as  a  father.!The  scene where  the  boat gets  turned upside down, and  amir  runs  through and  takes  a  leaping dive into the lake was just awesome..!
But what was  more  influencive  was the  time  when Amir  thinks  of different things  he could  have  said to his son, when he was  going for playing with his  friend. ! Each and  evry other  possible scenario makes  him drown deeper  into his  guilt, his  carelessness(which he feels it was) as a  father. And  isn’t it true, that seldom after we witness  some  particular  consequences we  think “if i had  done  this” and  repent on it.!
But losing a son is something heavier , something more  fearfull and  maybe  something more “phobic” . Some incidents  make  us  become phobic  of them.! The scene where Rani shares  with her  friend, that Amir  doesn’t even want to listen about having   a second  child, completely moved  me  and  made  me  ponder a little  deeper to how  much guilty a  person can feel.! And  the greater deal is to live  “a-normal-life” accepting it..! Amir’s tears  were totally a  simple  strong gesture  how  much guilt he had in him, how  much did a  single  decision haunt him each and every night that would  make  him sleepless.!  And  the case  of armaan kapoor too was  similar.! 
If we are  guilty of something and  our  conscious doesn’t allow  us  to accept it, then it surely will itself  find  a  way and  come to us for expiation.! 
And  as  the tagline rightly says, and  what even i have  experienced  most of the times personally,
whenever a  question rises , the  answer does  lie  within us...!!
Truly the  movie did take away a tagline that i had  in mind(wont mention it here :p)
The  way the concept of human trafficking and  women exploitation was  shown was  just brilliant.!
Amidst lakhs  of  daily “customers” , who cares  if a single  parcel goes  missing?? Afterall they do write *terms & conditions applied ,right?
Call girls  or prostitutes are never out of choice, its because  they “run out of choices”! 
Its a  huge  and damn complex  matter ,which is quite  above  my head at present, but nevertheless the  ruthless and  brutality with them was  shown greatly. And  like armaan kapoor, if a guilt does  stay in you, i can give  my word, that you never really can live calmly unless  you do get  a  way to quench your  regret, you get a ‘paschatap’. Then be  it just even a  true realisation or at times  maybe  some  bigger  deal. But also one thing that is sure is.. once  you’ve  realised  and  asked  for its  forgiveness  truly..(you are  bound to be  forgiven) and you experience  a divine satisfaction with yourself which becomes  soothing than anything...! Which was shown with utter serenity in the end  sequence  of Amir  sitting  alone  and  reading karan’s  letter !

No need to say fabulous perfoemances  by the entire  starcast.! Great direction..! not extraordinary but pretty fair job with music too...! And,, oh yes  i forgot.. To all who were/are  saying Talaas is  not a worth watch.. just STFU!!!

And as  for me , films  are  something that stretch out of the cinema screen, i review  this flick in a  bit deeper touch.. 

rating : 4.25/5

(just felt one  goof, when kejriwal watches  the news  channel at the airport , they said  “salman kapoor" & i feel it more  strongly coz even @hardik raychanda  felt the  same :p :D... hain main kya ji salman kapoor?? )

Dear aamir,

Since long, I wanted to revive the 70mm blog, and what better than starting from your film.

We have seen you being cop once in Baazi, then in Sarfarosh and now as Suri in Talaash. Sir, you are awesome. What I liked here was your portrayal of suri the person. The kind of person suri was - really fearless cop but neck deep in guilty and sad by heart. Doesn’t speak his heart to any one but strangely with a ______. Wah!!! I would like to salute you for the bravura performance, but above that I would like to salute Reema Kagti for such a tremendous script and direction. Say my hii to her.

Rani as your co-star was fantastic. She shown the grace of the character, one cant even imagine losing her/his child at very young age. You and Rani shown it brilliantly. Kariena as your co-star was convincing too. Nawazuddin Sidique was fantastic as tahemur. Rajkumar Yadav and others did good too. But it was either your or a Reema Kagti film.

I don’t wonder why it didn’t earn more than crappy Dabangg or Singham (sorry yaar, I know sallu is your friend, we love him too, but the film was surely crappy), coz all mass want is masaala, and this was quite a serious stuff. Unlike 3 idiots, this was not for class and mass both, but was strictly for class and hence it would just cross 100 crores, not more than that.

Anurag Kashyap’s dialogues were fabulous.

“tum comedy achhi kar leti ho, lekin problem ye hai ke mujhe jaldi hasi nahi aati..”

“galat mat samajna, main sirf baatein karna chahta hun” – “saab aisa kahoge to galat to lagega hi na..”

Loved the details by Reema Kagti, but sir I believe, if Anurag Kashyap might have directed this movie, it might have much more height.

4.25 cheers for you and reema.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara : Movie Review

An open letter to Farhan Akhtar,

Dear Farhan,

You simply rock. As director you have created all brilliant films, your debut film Dil Chahta Hai is a cult film, which inspired all directors of India to make fresh looking light hearted urban films. Then came Lakshya, which was not commercially that successful, but was nevertheless a good film. Don, from which I expected nothing, hated the idea as the original starring Big B is one of my most fav Big B film, was splendid and established you as master. As producer, you have attempted fantastic films too. And now as an actor, you are getting better and better day by day. You rocked in Rock On, you were fantastic in LBC and KCK and in ZNMD too you have successfully stolen the show from my favorites Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol who have established themselves as good actors.

Your role in the film is quite meatier and helps you stealing the show. Hrithik (whom you originally wanted to cast in DCH) is again fantastic in serious-all-business-minded-guy and changed-in-love-living-life-guy both. Abhay Deol is as always dependable, his tricks in the films are hilarious. Chemistry between you three is awesome. It feels like three real friends are on road trip.

I hope you make sequel to this as producer, keeping Zoya on director’s seat again, as I think, she was brilliant as director. She might have lived her life with lots of male friends as it not for a single moment seems like a film directed by lady director (which was the only minus point of LBC from my point of view). Hoping to see more from her.

Dialogues are fantastic and makes one laugh, smile and think for sure. Story, Screenplay and Script are marvelous. Music is in rhythm with film’s flow.

All positive – No. Something minor which I found not-so-positive was Katrina’s suitability for Laila’s role and SEL’s music. Katrina has done decent work compared to her past films, but fails to convince what her character needs to convince (and though I don’t like Kariena that much, but I feel she suited for this role very much) though Hrithik being her counter part balances very well, and Hrithik and Katrina looks good together. SEL’s music is not as great as their former films, though manages to please.

Fav Moments in the film:

Too many. Though listing some of them.

1. Kabeer’s all tricks

2. Imran’s flirt with Laila and her friend

3. Imran’s each funny comment

4. Arjun - Imran's fights

5. Bagwati

6. Each Poetry recited by Imran

7. The moments which inspires those Poetries

8. In the Air Scenes

9. Imran & Salman’s meeting

10. Imran & Arjun’s meeting their after

11. Kabeer’s Flashback

12. Arjun crying after Underwater ‘Meditation’

All and over, it’s not DCH, it’s not Rock On. Though, it has shades of both the films, but it’s quite different story to tell and as it has many pleasing moments, one must watch it.

Simply, 4.05 cheers for the film.

Watched it on the first day last show…waiting for this movie from the day when I watched its first look…

.

After long time watched any movie with their own and natural acting. Thanx to zoya and farhan for that. Movie was as expected very light hearted and full of entertainment. It has story, dialogues, Perfect Actors and Acting, Music, Direction. In short everything.

.

In acting starting with Abhay deol. He was shown as he really is. With lots of risky ideas and Faadu tricks. After watching his movies we can imagine in real he would be like that only. Mast and perfact acting.

Fav scenes of Abhay: Bathroom shouting Idea scene, Natasha comes to spain, His trick on Arjun and then their laugh on him.

.

Farhan akhtar has done all different roles in his movies. In this he has done excellent work as shaayar and makes u laugh at all the time. His shaayari’s were mind blasting and his chosen sport challenge was also bestest. Poems speaken by him was also full of feelings.

Fav scenes of me(Farhan:P): Bagvati scenes, His Flirty scenes with Laila & her friend, Scenes with Salman and avoiding scenes also.

.

Hritik roshan was also somewhat in his real character. He was looking dude and smart in each and every frame. His acting was also awesome.

His Fav scenes: Arjun cries after diving, Arjun feels the love, Arjun- Imran fights .

.

Katerina kaif has done good work then her last films. She was looking gorgeous as always. I can say her and hritik’s pair was looking awesome then any other. But still she could be done much well. Kalki haven’t much role in the movie.

.

In last the movie is totally enjoyable and fresh movie. Some had found the film slow but it's not. Movie moves at 24 frames per second only(:D:P). Movie will make you laugh and feel good when you leave theatre.

.

.

My rating - 4/5

(Must watch movie to feel friendship, to feel love, to feel bachelor life , to laugh.)
