Aamras 2009


Recall those years when you were growing up. When you were in your teens. When you just stepped out of school. When you were learning to take independent decisions. When you were waiting to explore a whole new world… The images may be blur, but the flashes from the past should bring a smile on your face. Writer-director Rupali Guha tries to capture those years on celluloid in AAMRAS.

The concept is interesting, but the writing appeals in bits and spurts. It holds your attention at times, since the goings-on look believable. But the film takes a filmi route in its second hour and that robs the film of its freshness.

Final verdict? This aamras is just about okay!

AAMRAS is a coming of age youth film about friendship among four friends [all aged between 17-18 years], urban school girls – Jiya, Pari, Rakhi and Sanya. All four are very close and come from varied background, attending one of the most prestigious schools in Mumbai.

All four have no secrets among themselves. They support one another in all their endeavours – good or bad. They have promised to remain friends forever, with no sorrys and no thank yous as their ‘mantra’. These friends will do just about anything to keep their friendship going.

The problem with AAMRAS is, it tries to do that balancing act in those 2 hours. Rupali should’ve chartered a singular path. The girl talk, for instance, is interesting. But the romantic track, with the lover surfacing in the end, looks like a complete compromise from the writing point of view.

Even the scholarship incident as also the sudden death of aai [Jiya's mother] could’ve been avoided.

Having said that, one also wishes to add that Rupali manages to keep your interest alive at several places. The MMS incident at the very start is one such instance. Also, the casting is just right, with the four girls essaying their parts with natural ease.

Vega [as Jiya], Ntasha [as Pari], Maanvi [as Rakhi] and Aanchal [Sanya] are efficient. Ajay Singh Choudhury [as Johny] gets no scope. Zarina Wahab and Reema are okay. Sunil Sinha [as Principal] and Manoj Pahwa are fair. The actress enacting the role of Jiya’s mom is very good.

On the whole, AAMRAS is interesting in parts only. However, the film will face an uphill task at the box-office because of lack of face-value and also, lack of hype.

Aagey Se Right 2009


Director: Indrajit Nattooji
Writers: Jabbar Patel, Abhijit Deshpande (additional dialogue), and 3 more credits »
Stars: Shreyas Talpade, Bharati Achrekar and Shaukat Baig
Till a few years ago, if a director or writer would tell you that the object of attention in his story is a pistol and how the entire film would revolve around it, you’d laugh, even scoff at, on his face. Is he out of his mind? But times have changed. Wacky concepts are the order of the day. Last week, QUICK GUN MURUGUN depicted one. This Friday, it’s AAGEY SE RIGHT.
AAGEY SE RIGHT is witty and humorous in parts, but at the same time, the story is so fragile that it runs out of breath when stretched for 2 long hours.
Had debutante director Indrajit Nattoji concentrated on just two characters – the cop who loses his gun and the terrorist who loses his heart – instead of focussing on the assorted characters, this one would’ve been one helluva ride.
Final word? AAGEY SE RIGHT doesn’t get it right.
AAGEY SE RIGHT tells the story of a cop [Shreyas Talpade] and terrorist [Kay Kay Menon]. Through a series of events not in their control, the cop loses his gun and the terrorist loses his heart. Their two worlds collide…
To start with, the screenplay doesn’t do justice to the wild and imaginative story. In fact, the writing has loopholes aplenty. To cite an instance, Vjay Maurya is supposed to be the front man of the terrorists in Mumbai, but when Kay Kay has a change of heart, so does he. Strange, isn’t it? Ditto for Shehnaz Treasurywala, who dances in a sleazy bar, is later visiting studios for film assignments and much later, also dances at the police function [in the finale]. Even Kay Kay’s part suffers due to poor writing. His change of heart looks weird.
Barring Shreyas, Mahi Gill [television reporter] and Bharti Achrekar [Shreyas' mom], the characters are not well defined.
Director Indrajit Nattoji has a wacky sense of humour and it shows in the film, but he’s been unsuccessful as far as the writing is concerned. The songs don’t serve any purpose either.
Shreyas Talpade does a commendable job. In fact, his comic timing is impeccable. Kay Kay Menon is wasted. Vijay Maurya delivers a superior performance. Mahi Gill is perfect. Shehnaz Treasurywala can’t act. Shiv Pandit irritates. Ditto for Shruti Seth. Rakesh Bedi is funny in a small role. Bharti Achrekar is excellent.
On the whole, AAGEY SE RIGHT has a few funny moments, but overall, this one doesn’t go left or right, but directionless.

Dil Bole Hadippa (2009) free downloading


Director: Anurag Singh
Writers: Jaya, Aparajita
Stars: Shahid Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee and Anupam Kher
Genres: Comedy | Drama | Sport
Release Date: 18 September 2009 (India)

Think of your favorite fast food meal – the one that you default to when you’re running late on your way home from work or when you just don’t feel like cooking. Dil Bole Hadippa! (“My Heart Goes Hooray!”) is the movie equivalent of your go-to drive thru meal: easy and predictable, but enjoyable.

Rani Mukerji plays Veera, a Punjabi girl who works for her family’s traveling theater troupe but dreams of playing cricket professionally.

She gets her chance when the national team’s manager, played by Anupam Kher, guilts his son Rohan (Shahid Kapoor) into returning from England to lead India to victory over Pakistan.

Of course, the team won’t even consider letting Veera try out; it is a men’s team, after all. Using one of the theater troupe’s fake beards, she dresses up as a man and calls herself “Veer.” She easily makes the team.

As in any romantic comedy featuring cross-dressing disguises, Veera gets to know Rohan off the pitch and out of makeup and falls for him. It’s only a question of when and how she’ll inevitably have to reveal her double life to him.

This type of story is as old as time, or at least as old as Shakespeare. There’s not much that can be done to change the formula, so all that matters is how much fun the journey is.

Thanks to Rani Mukerji, it’s a lot of fun. There’s no other actor who portrays joy as well as her, and it’s hard not to get swept up in her happiness. Shahid Kapoor does a fine job playing off of Mukerji, complementing her while never stealing the spotlight.

Following the Hindi fast-food-film formula, Dil Bole Hadippa! hits all of the major narrative touchstones: India is the best nation in the world, Indian women are the most virtuous, and the country is always better than the city.  The movie shows fertile fields, women in colorful saris, and a village festival with a Ferris wheel.

The only deviation from the stock formula is that, in Dil Bole Hadippa!, Veera and Rohan ride through wheat fields on a bike, instead of on a tractor.

The problem with this kind of fast food movie is that everyone already knows how it’s going to end – and how it’s going to reach that end. With that being the case, there’s no reason for Dil Bole Hadippa! to run as long as it does (around 2 hrs. 12 min.). The last half-hour drags. And, since the ending is predictable, it’s probably worth leaving early to avoid traffic leaving the movie theater parking lot.

Chal Chalein (2009)

Cast: Mithun Chakraborty, Rati Agnihotri, Kanwaljeet, Anoop Soni
Director: Ujjwal Singh


A young lad, coerced into studying a subject he hates only because he is petrified of his father, ends his life. His classmates, all of whom face the same problem, take the fight to court.

‘Chal Chalein’ gives us youngsters, who sue the parents and the state, and come out trumps, thanks to sympathetic lawyer (Mithun) .Good idea, amateurishly executed. There’s not one sympathetic mom or dad (they are all monsters, with one mother sending a little girl hungry to bed after cruelly punishing her). The teachers are uniformly incapable of helping the unhappy children.

When they are not filing in and out of the lawyer’s chambers, the kids sing and dance. The one good thing about the film is its music: foot-tapping numbers intersperse the uninspiring action.

Aarakshan 2011 Hindi



Aarakshan is a 2011 Bollywood Hindi movie directed by Prakash Jha with Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan, Manoj Bajpayee, Prateik Babbar and others in the cast. Read the Hindi film review at CalcuttaTube.

Aarakshan: Good Vs Evil drama

Touted as a social mirror displaying the touchy subject of “Aarakshan” (reservation), the film deviates from its claimed path and strays to a Bollywood melodrama on good versus evil.

The background

Dr. Prabhakar Anand (Amitabh Bachchan) is the principal of a highly esteemed private college and his dalit protégé (Saif Ali Khan) is in love with his daughter (Deepika Padukone) and friends with Sushant Seth (Prateik Babbar), who belongs to the so called upper castes.

With the announcement of the Supreme Court verdict to include quota for the OBCs (other backward classes), the film kicks off.

Friends become foes as a struggle ensues over the validity of the reservation policy and Prabhakar sides with the policy of reservation. Verbal fireworks become the highlight and eventually Prabhakar is forced to resign from the very institution he had vowed to develop.

Throw into the mix a corrupt politician and bad man Mithilesh Singh (Manoj Bajpai), who happens to be a teacher in favour of making education the most profitable business, and you have a traditional Bollywood potboiler with the morally upright versus the cynically crooked, barring the actual Dishum-Dishum.

This is followed by more and more heavy hitting words, that sound more and more like sagely gospels and we see Prabhakar loosing his home and integrity over an off handed remark. Thus the battle between “Zero” Prabhakar and calculating Mithilesh commences and that is what you see for the rest of the film.

The story- 2/5

Why make a movie on a steamy topic that creates a furore even today and makes the very blood boil in veins of so many, when you want to create a saga about a (Mohabattein like) Amitabh? Well the answer eludes me and I am sure it eludes everyone else who has dared to sit through the 2 hour 47 minutes marathon.

Aarakshan shows a shallow dedication in depicting its namesake for a meagre portion of the first half and then weaves a completely different plot. What begins with a lot of huff and puff dies down to nothing even before the second half starts and when the movie ends you begin to wonder- what was the name of the movie again?

Prakash Jha has created a commercial blockbuster that allures you with the smell of biriyani but serves a tasteless dal-roti as the main course, which happens to be the battle of a surreal morally upright teacher and a classic comic book villain whose only motto appears to be making profit out of tutoring the students.

So we see “Tabela classes” of Amitabh clashing against Manoj’s “KK Coaching Centre” and no prize for guessing who wins the duel.

Though “Aarakshan” does raise a lot of questions it doesn’t display the intrepid attitude of “Gangajal” in providing the answers and we are left with wondering why this was banned in so many places.

The characters are also stringently one sided in their beliefs and we see no doubts or confusions in their minds. They are coloured in one shade and one shade only with no room left for human edginess, even when it comes to moral issues like debauchery or social issues like the division of India on the basis of casteist principles.

Everyone in the movie is so sure of their beliefs but I am not so sure about recommending this script.

The direction and technique- 2.5/5

Nothing special. “Aarakshan” is toothless when it comes to directorial flair or celluloid cinematographic brilliance.

The sets are overused versions of earlier films and there are no stunning imageries in the movie that can be compared to the likes of Jha’s other films.

Remember the scene depicting police brutality when they pour acid in “Gangajal” and the scene in “Rajneeti“ where the pathos and determination of Ranbir Kaapor becomes subtly visible as he sprouts out blood while sipping water in the hospital, well don’t expect anything like that from Aarakshan.

The movie is bland and blunt though the opportunities were obviously galore when one is capturing such larger than life characters. Apart from huge gathering of people for convincing and unconvincing reasons, there are no mammoth scenes.

The song sequences, at least in the first few minutes of the movie proves to be a deterrent to its pace and drags the screen time longer.

The acting- 4/5

Nothing to say about the acting when you have people like Saif Ali Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, both of whom have done splendid job in portraying their roles with as much zest and hot temperament as possible. One could say that in the first half you see two angry men- one old and the other young.

For Amitabh this was a typecast of many other roles he has handled in the recent past and hence not much of a challenge but Saif too proves his mettle adequately.

Special mention to Manoj Bajpai is necessary as this man once again proves his acting capacity with a calm suaveness and a crooked smile while he slips into the shoes of baddy Mithilesh Singh. You hate him and detest him and want to stab him with all that collected abhorrence once you see that nasty little grin unfolding upon his lips.
Prateik too shows a lot of promise with what little he has been offered and Deepika fits nicely into the mould of the dutiful doting daughter.

The music- 1.5/5

Music is blunt and could have been done away with altogether.

For most parts it seems to be incoherent with the flow of the movie and hence an unnecessary evil.

The songs too are a major disappointment as they carry no depth and do not provide you with a soul touching flavour. It also fails to boil your blood over injustice and doesn’t incite a feeling of pity or anything else for the matter.

The songs thus, would have been best left out.

Should you reserve your seats for “Aarakshan”?

That should be yes only if Amitabh or Saif is your screen icon and you just can’t afford to miss a flick with them in it. It can be also your recipe for a lazy holiday if melodrama of classical hero versus villain stirs you up.

But if that’s not the case then don’t go in search of answers from “Aarakshan”, I assure you there are none to be found.

Urumi (Telugu 2011)

Cast: Prithviraj, Arya, Prabhu Deva, Genelia, Tabu , Nithya Menon
Director: Santhosh Sivan
Producer: Shobha Rani
Music Director: Deepak Dev
Release Date: 19 August 2011
Certification: U
 
Story:

The film is set in the backdrop of the fierce warrior clans of Northern Kerala in the 16th century and focuses on the cult of Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar. It is all about boy, who wants to avenge the death of his father, who has been killed by Vasco da Gama. Santhosh Sivan's dragging narration in both first and second half tests the patience of the viewers. The climax scenes seem to have taken from another epic film Pazhassi Raja.

The story starts with present generation and soon goes back to history. Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar (Prithviraj) sets on mission to kill Dom Vasco da Gama, the Viceroy of Portuguese Empire in India. But he faces lots of odds on his way to reach his target. He has to encounter many conflicts within the kinsmen, kings, ministers, peasants and Muslim warrior princess Ayesha (Genelia D'Souza) of the famed Arackal Sultanat. He has a forte, a legendary golden Urumi, which is made from the ornaments of women and children, who were burnt alive by Vasco da Gama. Kelu is supported by his childhood friend Vavvali (Prabhu Deva). How he creates his own army and starts movement against the first Colonial advance in India will form the crux of the film.

Performances:

Prithviraj is simply superb as Kelu Nayanar. Prabhudeva too puts in a commendable performance. Genelia leaves an impact with a role which no one would imagine her to be doing. Amol Gupte, who is already proven to be a great performer, makes his mark, Jagathy, Nitya Menon, Vidya Balan, Arya etc do justice to their respective roles. Everyone is good in their respective roles.

Analysis:

Technically, Urumi has the Santosh Sivan stamp all over it; not only angles of shots but even the gait of every actor is peculiarly choreographed so as to give the performer an individual style, sometimes stretched to the extent that we feel that they are striking a pose for a still photograph.

Prithviraj is masculinity personified with an opportunity to show off his bulging biceps throughout. Prabhu Deva's bony physique (who plays his childhood chum Vavvali) acts as contrast, as is Jagathy Sreekumar's effeminate villainous Chenichery kurup.

Genelia D'Souza, as the warrior princess Aysha, impresses. Nithya Menon as flirtatious and childlike. Paired with Prabhu Deva, she has her moments of glory. Only Vidya Balan's presence is not justified by the story.

Finally: Different, excellent, must-see movie...
