Chakradhaar

bribChakradhaar/b/ibrThe movie is set in Banaras in today’s time of politics and corruption. Shravan is a simple but righteous son of a peon who joins Banaras University for his post graduation on his father’s insistence. He is romantically inclined toward the Principal’s daughter. A University topper and a man of principles, Shravan notices that a lot of corruption is happening in the University. He actively involves himself in the fight against corruption. This fight doesn’t go unnoticed by the local MLA Dharmraj Chaudhary, who finds ways to push Shravan to the edge and destroys everything in his life. After Shravan’s life is saved by an honest cop, he makes a pledge to fight back. In the most smartly directed action sequences, Shravan transitions into Pandit, a goon who only fights with Chaudhary and his brothers Balraj and Yograj to take revenge. In the strange twist and turn of event, Pandit becomes successful in taking his revenge and ends his phase as Pandit on the note of redemption.bria target=_blank href=’http://www.wowmails.com’Source/a: www.bollywoodhungama.com/ibrbribMr Bhatti On Chutti/b/ibrAnupam Kher’s long-delayed MR. BHATTI ON CHUTTI has finally hit the screens. The reports doing the rounds is that MR. BHATTI ON CHUTTI is a idesi/i replication of MR. BEAN’S HOLIDAY, with the central character modeled on the peculiar Englishman made legendary by Rowan Atkinson. Of course, our Mr. Bhatti is a cheerful Punjabi, who, unlike his equivalent, doesn’t head for Cannes, but England. BRBR A similar meaning title [MR. BHATTI ON CHUTTI and MR. BEAN’S HOLIDAY], both [Anupam Kher, Rowan Atkinson] embarking on a holiday after having won a free trip, both the characters experiencing a misadventure while on their holiday… the similarities cannot be ignored. Of course, Karan Razdan has changed the story to suit the Indian sensibilities, but the quintessence remains the same. BRBR Well, if MR. BHATTI ON CHUTTI is meant to be a tribute to Mr. Bean, all I can say is that it’s more of an appalling imitation. BRBR MR. BHATTI ON CHUTTI is set in 2005-06, the times of military aggression and war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr. Bhatti [Anupam Kher], a bank clerk, wins a free trip to Europe, though he has entered no contest. Who has sent him the ticket and the hotel package free of cost? How can Mr. Bhatti go on this trip without telling his favorite star, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, about it? Never mind, if he has only met him in his dreams, thus far… In reality, all Mr. Bhatti can manage is to stand outside Mr. Bachchan’s bungalow with a crowd, awaiting a glimpse of his hero. BRBR In England, all hell breaks loose as Mr. Bhatti is branded a terrorist. He is face to face with death and utilizes his last wish to call up Mr. Bachchan. Mr. Bachchan once again inspires Bhatti so much that his fan can defy death and fight to save humanity. And Mr. Bhatti, whom we all thought was an idiot, a buffoon, now turns the tables and decides to focus on world peace. BRBR On the surface, MR. BHATTI ON CHUTTI is a comedy, but the intent is to offer more than a few laughs. The protagonist dreams of a peace plan in a world devastated by warfare and starvation. The concept may be attention-grabbing, but the writing as well as the execution of the material fails to do justice to a noble thought. A few comic scenes do raise a chuckle, but the outcome is completely puerile. The screenplay is juvenile and on numerous junctures makes you squirm in your seat. BRBR The film demands over the top acting from each and every member of the cast. Anupam Kher is loud, but delivers. Shakti Kapoor is wasted in an inconsequential role. Bhairavi Goswami, Pawan Shankar, Neha Pendse and Emma Kearney [as Alice] try too hard to act. Abid Ali is convincing as the cop. Anjan Srivastava is okay. Amitabh Bachchan appears in a cameo. BRBR On the whole, MR. BHATTI ON CHUTTI is an amateurish attempt.bria target=_blank href=’http://www.wowmails.com’Source/a: www.bollywoodhungama.com/ibrbribPlayers/b/ibrfont color=greenBuCharacters:/u/B/fontbrbr BCharlie:/B Abhishek Bachchan BR Charlie Masceranhas is a Chartered Accountant by day and a master-thief by night.With his razor-sharp intelligence, precision planning, and perfect voice modulation, there has been no job so far in his career which has been too tough for him.Conning is, in fact, an art form for Charlie and that’s what he prefers to call himself - an artist.

Ishaqzaade

bribIshaqzaade/b/ibrHabib Faisal’s directorial debut DO DOONI CHAAR, starring Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, depicted the aspirations of a middle-class family. It won immense critical acclaim, appreciation of the viewers and the Best Hindi Film National Award. Now his second film ISHAQZAADE has generated tremendous buzz thanks to its raw and edgy trailers, likable a target=_blank href=’http://www.wowmails.com’music/a and also for its setting — the Hindi belt where guns still reign supreme. And you aren’t disappointed either, for the film meets the lofty expectations, assuring you that the 2+ hours were well worth it!BRBR Yash Raj Films returns to the era of action after a hiatus, but they have not done away with their core USP, romance, as ISHAQZAADE is a passionate love story, which is the emphasizing theme of the film. In fact, ISHAQZAADE is not only about aggression and romance, you also get a glimpse of the arrogance and conceit of people in small towns in India. BRBR The story unfurls in the idealistic and intimidating scenario of North India. ISHAQZAADE depicts the love story of two defiant, rebellious individuals. A passionate love story ignited by extreme dislike. It revolves around two disputing political families, two fiery individuals and their battle for control and superiority. The two characters, Parma [Arjun Kapoor] and Zoya [Parineeti Chopra], who have been told since early days to detest each other, are almost equipped to eradicate each other and then something happens in their life post which they realize they are actually quite alike. They start wondering when we both are so similar in our personality and stance, why have we got this extreme dislike for each other? BRBR In such a setting, when two people, who have been loathing each other all this while, fall in love, things go askew. BRBR The chemistry between Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra on screen certainly follows the model of the chemistry that was created in DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE, BUNTY AUR BABLI and BAND BAAJA BAARAAT. It’s infectious and that, in my opinion, is the hallmark of the film, besides the script of course. In the initial portions, both Arjun and Parineeti are at loggerheads, bartering cusswords, flaunting guns and trying to be one-up on the other. Their love story towards the middle of the first part is equally electrifying and the portrayal by Arjun and Parineeti gives the film the required sheen. BRBR The post-interval portions have several euphoric moments. The heated conversation involving Arjun’s mother and the aftermath is brilliantly penned and executed. Ditto for the sequence when Arjun apologises to Parineeti in this hour. It’s truly emotional! The only hitch is that the film slows down before it reaches the finale thanks to some unwanted sequences [the sequence in the laboratory] and some songs in this hour. The culmination to the film is a highpoint and mirrors a reality as well. BRBR Habib Faisal belongs to a fresh class of writers and film-makers who does away with the beaten to death drama that one gets to watch in films of this genre. Filmed at actual locations of Uttar Pradesh, the story of ISHAQZAADE has universal appeal and could have been set in any of the big cities, but the small town milieu lends the plot a kind of passion missing in large metros. Perhaps, the magnetism towards love is that much stronger in a small town, also the conflict of the people opposing love is manifold stronger likewise. BRBR Amit Trivedi, one of the most gifted and skilled musical talents, comes up with a harmonious and pleasant-sounding album. ‘Ishaqzaade’, ‘Pareshan’, ‘Aafton Ke Parinde and ‘Chokra Jawan’ — each of those tracks are popular already. The best part is, the songs of ISHAQZAADE have not been filmed on romantic landscapes, but at humdrum locations, which makes it so real and very much in sync with the mood of the film. I’d like to make a special mention of the cinematography [Hemant Chaturvedi], which captures the essence of North India and the rustic flavor so well. The background score [Ranjit Barot] adds a lot of pep, while the action and chase sequences [Sham Kaushal] are wonderful. BRBR Arjun Kapoor makes a fantastic debut. He has a peerless body language and a ‘I-don’t-give-a-damn’ kind of an approach in the movie. The youngster, with his untidy look and impish smile, has already won female reverence prior to the release of the film and after having watched him emote, you can confidently say that he’s blessed to depict this rebellious character in his launch vehicle itself. He comes across as fiery and rustic and at the same time self-assured and assertive in this reckless and intrepid character. BRBR To acquire a film of this scale and magnitude is a triumph by itself for a beginner, for a script and character like this happen once in a while. Parineeti Chopra is simply fantastic in this high-voltage drama. Playing the part of a spirited gun-toting girl, she is not the regular timid, decorous, withdrawn Hindi film heroine. She portrays the violent behavior coupled with the audacious and brash attitude with aplomb. BRBR Gauhar Khan is lovely in a special role. Also, she dances very well in the two tracks. Anil Rastogi [as Arjun’s grand-father], Natasha Rastogi [as Arjun’s mother] and Ratan Rathore [as Parineeti’s father] are natural to the core. BRBR On the whole, ISHAQZAADE, a volatile and intense story with ample doses of fanatical romance, should appeal to a pan-India audience. This broadly engaging love story has a winsome pair who deliver dexterous performances, besides popular a target=_blank href=’http://www.wowmails.com’music/a and several poignant moments, which should appeal to fans of mainstream films.
