Half Girlfriend - Trailer Review

Hello guys, much awaited trailer of “Half Girlfriend” is finally out and here is my review. If you haven’t watched the trailer yet here it is take a look.

Half Girlfriend is based on celebrity novelist Cheatn Bhagat’s bestseller novel of same name. If you ask me there was a time when I used to be a big time Chetan Bhagat fan but then he became judge of Nach Baliye and he lost my respect and even that was not enough he appeared on Comedy Nights Bachao as a guest so other comedians can roast him and he lost whatever respect left. I understand only one thing writing is one of the most sacred and respected art form so If you are a writer you have to maintain your intellectual integrity you just can’t behave like a television celebrity who  always seek media attention and you are not even supposed to do that.

Now let’s talk about the trailer. Half Girlfriend stars Arjun Kapoor as a small town boy “Madhav Jha” and “Shraddha Kapoor” as a high class open minded Delhi girl “Riya Somani”. Both of them are coming from two whole different worlds and they have only one thing in common their love for Basketball. At first they begin to practice basketball together, Madhav falls in love with Riya knowing that she is way out of his league. Madhav proposes Riya, Riya says “I can’t be your girlfriend but I can be your half girlfriend” and rest of the story follows Madhav’s effort to make Riya his full girlfriend from half girlfriend.

Chetan Bhagat has written many bestsellers and out of all those Half Girlfriend is my second least favorite because unlike his other stories in this story he is not at all talking about corrupt society or rotten education system. Half girlfriend is just a love story and when I was reading that book I could feel that Chetan Bragat wrote this book keeping one thing in mind “This is going to be a feature film one day”.

Half girlfriend is directed by Mohit Suri who is now judge of “Nach Baliye”. Mohit Suri’s specialty is to capture pain of love on screen and he is doing that same thing in Half Girlfriend. He has given Half Girlfriend that “Ashiqui 2” theme where everyone is in pain and shouting and crying. One thing which really stood out for me was Arjit Singh’s soulful vocals in background I simply loved that song.

So all and I liked this trailer and I am waiting for the movie which is releasing on 19^th may. Have you watched Half Girlfriend’s trailer what do you think about it please let me know in comments.          

Hindi Medium - Trailer Review

Hello guys few days ago Hindi Medium’s trailer came out starring Irrfan khan. If you people know me you might know that Irrfan khan is one of my favorite actors. His acting method and dialogue delivery is impeccable. If you have not watched the trailer here it is.

While watching the trailer one quote really struck me that was “In this country English is not a language it’s a class”. And we all know it’s kind of true. People who know English they are using it and people who don’t know English they are learning it and still using it which is funny sometimes. I can understand that English is a global language and if you have to go with flow we must know the language. It’s ok if we use English but we should not ignore our Mother tongue. So please do not take people who don’t use English for granted. Let’s take Kapil Sharma’s example, people are saying that he is kind of comedy and if you follow him you know how bad his English is. So it’s not necessary that if you know English you are smart and if you don’t know English you know nothing. English is just a language not knowledge,

Now let’s talk about the trailer. By the trailer it looks like a story of a family. There is an upper middle class couple who wants their daughter to study in a great school and they are trying everything to make that possible. Now here is one more question what defines a good school? If you ask me a good school is a place where a child can grow mentally, emotionally and physically. If a school’s building is fancy, they have a lot of activities going on it doesn’t mean it’s a good school.

So  this family is trying their best to get their daughter in a so called “Good English Medium School” but all their efforts are failing now they have only one option left which is to apply from “Below Poverty Line Quota”. Yes it does sound ridiculous and funny but from a parent’s point of view it’s not funny. Parents will do anything or sacrifice anything for their child’s future.

So to apply from “BPL Quota” they start acting poor. When they are acting poor they realize that poor people might be poor they might not have lot of resources but they are still humans and they are more loving and united than we are. So all and all i really enjoyed the trailer and I am looking forward to watch this movie.

Phillauri - Movie Review

Hello everyone this week we will talk about Anushka Sharma’s Phillauri. As a producer Phillauri is her second movie after critically acclaimed NH10 so obviously for her there is lot on stake.

Now the story goes something like this. There is a boy Kanan (Suraj Sharma) who just came to India to merry his childhood love Annu (Mehrene Pirzada). Kanan has some fault in his stars to in order for him to merry Annu he has to merry a tree first. Kanan finds these ritual ridicules but his family forces him to follow this ritual. After his wedding with tree a beautiful ghost Shashi (Anushka Sharma) begin to haunt him and now Kanan has to manage his personal life with a ghost luring around him.

If we talk about acting Anushka Sharma is heart and soul of this Movie. She is looking beautiful and she plays the most charming ghost I have ever seen in my life. Do you remember that guy from movie “Life of Pie” who was stuck on a boat with a tiger, yes that boy is Suraj Sharma and he Plays Kanan. Personally I believe he is a great actor and he is capable of performing more challenging roles than this. He is not bad in this movie but I just feel like anyone could have played Kanan.

This movie begins with a loud Punjabi wedding. In that wedding everyone is Dancing, Shouting and drinking without any good reason. There is a grandmother who is always drinking and she is talking about her sex life. A grandmother talking about her sex life that is the last thing I want to watch on screen. There is a mother who is always shouting at someone and running here and there so those first 15-20 minutes of this movie is pretty exhausting.

This movie has 2 problems with it. First problem is story. Story is straight there are not enough twists and turns to keep you engaged and second problem is its pace. This movie is ridiculously slow. The climax sequence itself is 10 minutes long and those 10 minutes feels like forever so this movie can really check your patience.

So you can go for Phillauri if you are a diehard Anushka Sharma Fan otherwise I would suggest to give it a pass.

And last guys if you are a superhero maniac just like me. I mean I love superhero stuff and if you also like superhero stuff like T-shirt s, Refrigerator Magnets or pillow covers etc. check out www.posterboy.in they have a great range of products.

Thank you so much. That’s it for now see you all nest time till then “Be a gentlemen and respect women”.  

Commando 2 - Movie Review

When I first saw its trailer it made me excited because it’s not every day that Bollywood offers such action movie made on this scale.

The story goes something like this, after the demonetization some rich, powerful big heads hires a man named Vicky Chadda to launder all their black money overseas. Now government of India wants all that money to come back to India and to do that they have to bring Vicky Chadda to India from Thailand. To accomplish that mission they assemble a team of expendables which includes obviously our antagonist Commander Karanvir Singh Dogra (Vidyut Jamwal), Bhavna Reddy (Adah Sharma), ACP Bakhtawar (Freddy Daruwala) and a Hacker named Zafar. Will they succeed in their mission to know that you have to watch this movie.

First of all this movie is all about Vidyut Jamwal who obviously need no introduction. we all know what he is capable of and Commando 2 is a huge showcase of his looks and skills.  His is running, jumping, breaking bones and doing all unbelievable things while looking hot at the same time. If you are a Vidyut Jamwal fan you are in for a treat I know there aren’t a lot of Vidyut Jamwal fans out their but with this movie he will make lots of new fans.

Apart from Vidyut Jamwal we have Adah Sharma. She is in this movie just to add some humor and glamour and she tries to make audience laugh with her funny accent which I did not find funny at all but you might find her funny.

Commando 2 is directed by Deven Bhojani. In case you don’t know him, Do you remember that chubby Gattu from Baa Bahu Aur Baby? Yes he is Deven Bhojani and considering it’s His first movie as a director he did a great job. His vision throughout the whole movie was crisp and clear “Lest make an Enjoyable and cool action movie”.

There are few things I really liked about this movie. First this movie knows what it is. Makers wanted to make a fun, Stupid, mindless but cool action movie and they did make a Fun, stupid, mindless but cool action movie. Second thing this movie has no songs. So no romantic song drama or no item number crap just two hours of back to back action. Third the makers made an action movie but they played on their strength they focused more on hand to hand combat which is more enjoyable.

So all and all if you want to spend some time with your friends go for it, Sit back, relax, shut down your brain and the key is to keep your expectations low. If you liked this article I have made a video about it check that out its right here.

So Have you seen Commando 2 what do you think about it let me know in comments. Next week we will talk about Badri Ki Dulhania till then “BE A GENTLEMAN AND RESPECT WOMEN”

5 WORST BOLLYWOOD MOVIES OF 2015

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone, as Christmas celebration are going on 2015 is about to end. This year was no different from any other years in Bollywoodg, we saw some spectacular movies and we also witnessed some disasters. We will talk about 2015’s best movies next time but today let’s talk about the biggest disasters of this year.

SHAANDAAR: if we are talking about disasters I cannot even think about missing this one. Honestly speaking I have seen some pretty bad movies like Saawariya, Tees Maar Khan, Ungly, Happy Ending etc. This movie is so bad that you will even feel ashamed of listening to its songs in public. Vikas Bahl who gave us movies like Chillar Party and Queen is the same man who gave us this SHAANDAAR NIGHTMARE.

ROY: The trailer of this film was looking promising, people were expecting a large scale mind game, over the top romance and some obsession stuff. All the songs were chartbusters nothing could go wrong but after the first screening the ship sank itself. The content and story plot was so shallow and slim that it gives you an instant feeling for anger and frustration and after watching this all you wanted to do is go on twitter and Unfollow the entire star cast.

BOMBAY VELVET : Anurag Kashyap who is one of the finest film makers of Bollywood, and he gave us his dream project worth a whopping budget of 120 Crores. Simply Bombay Velvet is one of the most expensive movies of 2015. Everyone expected great things from this one like “gangs of wasseypur”. Everything was wrong about this movie nothing makes sense and it was simply the worst movie of Anurag Kashyap.

ALONE : Personally I am not a big horror genre fan yet I found this one appealing and went for it. That was simply my worst decision on 2015. Makes tried to make a “HORR-TICA” which is “HORROR” and “EROTICA”. In this movie horror sequences didn’t scare me and romance sequences didn’t excite me at all so it was simply one more bad take of horror movies in Bollywood.

KIS KISKO PYAR KAROON : Film Makers “ABBAS-MUSTAN” tried to cash comedian Kapil Sharma’s popularity by making a movie (a whole movie) starring him as lead actor. Kapil Sharma I must admit he is a god gifted comedian but it doesn’t mean that he can act too. From this movie my only expectation was a few giggles but instead of giggles all I got was headache pure headache.    

TOP 5 WORST MOVIES OF 2014

First of all Happy New Year to everyone. Finally year 2014 is over and for me last year was full of ups and downs. In 2014 we had some really amazing movies but how can we ignore those disasters so here is my list of Top 5 worst movies of 2014.

Om number 1 we have Sajid Khan’s worst nightmare dream project Humshakals. It was a comedy movie or it was supposed to be a comedy movie but I swear it was a disaster. The movie was so lame that it makes you angry instead of laughing. 3 actors in triple role do not mean triple fun. I hated this movie so much that I hate Sajid Khan now and i hate each and every actor who played a role in this movie.

On number two we have one of the most awaited movies of last year which turned out to be a disaster. The trailer was exciting, the casting was good so I was expecting at least a decent movie but no that was a huge mistake. First 20 minutes of Gunday were nice but from the moment Priyanka Chopra appears on screen the movies goes down and down and down and by climax it’s a sinking broken ship.

On number three we have X-POSE. This movie stars the most stubborn actor of our generation Himesh Reshammiya. His music career was going amazing but all of the sudden he decided to become an actor but he forgot one most important thing that to become an actor you must know acting. History speaks that Himesh Reshammiya’s movies are garbage and history do not lie.

On number 4 we have India’s first monster thriller 3D movie named Creature 3D. This movie is about a monster. Now if you are making a monster movie than you must have a scary looking monster. In all these years we have seen Jurassic Park, Godzilla and the giant alien monsters from Pacific Rim and now you are trying to scare audience with a little lizard like cartoon buck up ! 

On number 5 we have Prabhudeva’s Action Jackson. Throughout the entire movie I was thinking about only one thing can somebody please shorten the film and end it right away. It was a Prabhudeva film so I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece but I was only expecting an entertaining movie but no Action Jackson was so awful that it can give you mental illness for 3 hours.

So guys this was my list of top 5 worst movies of 2014 and next time we will talk about top best movies of 2014 till than keep watching movies.. 

UGLY movie review

When I first saw the trailer of Ugly I was kind of confused because I couldn’t understand what is ugly or who is ugly. But when I saw the entire film than I realized there is nothing Ugly in it it’s another masterpiece by Anurag Kashyap and this movie is about a few people with Ugly intentions.

What makes Ugly different from any other movie, I would say beginning in the beginning there is no grand introduction music nothing like that at all directly cut to the actual situation. One thing which is really impressive about this movie is after watching the movie you can’t decide who was the hero in it because in Ugly everyone is Villain.

Ugly is a suspense movie in the movie a girl is kidnapped and through the entire film you just keep guessing who is that bad guy but Ugly just don’t reveal the that until the last frame.

One thing I particularly liked in Ugly is Ronit Roy he is simply brilliant. He plays a cop who is a bad guy but he never meant to be bad but other people around him make him bad. Remember Ronit Roy’s character is BOSS he is just like that or I say even better. 

The movie is so realistic that in middle of the movie you simply forget that you are watching a film you are kind of into it. And the characters don’t throw heavy dialogues in heavy voice, lead actors don’t dance and sing with background dancers. Even in the movie there is one sequence when a character is making tea and you can see the chunks of noodles on his stove. This means he lives alone and had instant noodles, amazing art direction.

So all and Ugly is a great movie or I should say one of the best movies by Anurag Kashyap don’t miss it.

ROY TRAILER REVIEW

Hello guys. Just few days ago ROY trailer was out on internet but I was more excited about PK but now here is my review of ROY trailer.

ROY is a love triangle about a thief, a film maker and an actress. In leading trio we have Arjun Rampal, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ranbir Kapoor. In the trailer Ranbir looks like a common man but he is the greatest thief in history who is maybe trying to steal paintings. Most of the story takes place in Malaysia where Arjun Rampal is making his film.

Ranbir Kapoor is playing ROY and it’s his responsibility to take this movie to success. In the trailer we can see Ranbir Kapoor doing some hot action sequences. It’s very hard for Ranbir to do this kind of character because of his lover boy image remember last time he did action in BESHARAM and that turned out to be a fiasco.

ROY is written and directed by debutant director Vikramjit Singh and there are also in this movie Shri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez will be playing a double role. 

I don’t know what went wrong with the trailer but as I our expectations from Roy were very high trailer is a bit disappointing. Roy is expected to hit the screens on February 13, 2015.

UGLY TRAILER REVIEW

So guys finally on 26th December 2014 Anurag Kashayp’s Ugly is releasing. Actually the movie was supposed to release in mid 2013 but due to some dispute with Indian censor board the movie’s release was postponed but good news it’s releasing this December and the trailer is already out on YouTube have a look.

If you are a fan of Anurag Kashyap just like me than I believe you just decided in your mind that you will not miss this movie. By the trailer you can say it’s again a typical Anurag Kashyap type movie. In the trailer except Ronit Roy all the actors are unknown. But all the actors are looking natural and acting at their best level.  

Now the story is something like this “Shalini (Tejaswini Kolhapure) is a middle-class housewife forced to stay at home by her second husband who is a police (Ronit Roy). She considers suicide, and is about to shoot herself in the head with her husband’s gun when she is interrupted by her daughter, Kali (Anishika Shrivastava).Kali is with her stepfather  Rahul, Rahul leaves Kali alone in the car to go to an audition  When he returns to the car, Kali is missing. Police accuse Rahul for kidnapping and tortures him. A game of one-upmanship follows as Rahul and Bose search for Kali while simultaneously attempting to upstage the other.

So all and again like all Anurag Kashyap movie only a specific class of audience will enjoy this film. But I am not gonna miss this one.

BADLAPUR BOYS MOVIE REVIEW

Hello everyone. I like offbeat films. This Friday an offbeat movie released named BADLAPUR BOYS and here is my review….

The story is situated in a village in Uttar Pradesh named Badlapur. Badlapur is suffering from dry for many years. The situation of farmers in village is very bad. After trying to build a canal in village for so many years finally a farmers commits suicide and that farmer has a son Vijay who is an excellent Kabaddi player.

After a long struggle Vijay receives help from national Kabaddi coach Surajbhan Singh played by Annu Kapoor who helps Suraj to enhance his game. Surajbhan Singh is coaching an unprofessional team to compete in a championship. In suraj’s leadership the team enters in state level tournament where winning is not so easy and the rest of the story is about suraj’s dreams and struggle.

With Badlapur Boys Shailesh Verama is making his directorial debut. Before this movie Shailesh Verama wrote the story of Salman Khan’s VEER. The director’s vision is completely confused. All and all the direction is average.

In acting department again Annu kapoor delivers a natural performance as Surajbhan Singh. The lead actor Nishan could have done better but the story doesn’t allow his character to shine. 

So all and all this movie doesn’t worth your time and money.     

ACTION JACKSON MOVIE REVIEW

So friends I am afraid to tell you but something terrible happened today Action Jackson is in theatres now. And throughout the entire movie I was thinking about only one thing can somebody please shorten the film and end it right now. And do you know what is strange about this movie you have to pay money to watch it. I was one of the innocent people who bought tickets to watch Action Jackson and “I WANT MY MONEYBACK”

I was so wrong about Action Jackson when I saw the trailer and see now we have the result in front of us.

By now you can understand that   Action Jackson is an awful movie, I even don’t want to think about it because thinking about Action Jackson brings my mind back to the torture I had watching it. Is it really hard to make a nice movie? 

Usually I don’t reveal too much about the movie’s story in my review but I don’t want anybody to go through that Action Jackson trauma so in this movie Ajay Devgan is in double role one is local gangster Vishi of Mumbai and the other one AJ is right hand of an international don. Don’s Sister Marina falls in love with AJ and obsesses him. AJ refuses to marry her than Marina tries to kill AJ’s girlfriend Anusha (Yami Gautam) but she survives so AJ brings her to Mumbai where he meets Vishi and ask him to go to Bangkok and marry Marina till than he can be with his wife while she is been operated and in the end AJ kills everyone with his Katana. 

From the beginning to end Action Jackson makes no sense at all. The entire movie is about 3 things Action, Dance and Comedy. Now for the sake of action on the screen Ajay Devgan is walking with bare chest and cutting everyone with his Katana. For Dance Ajay Devgan is dancing on screen not good. And in this movie comedy doesn’t make you laugh it doesn’t even make chuckle so the movie fails in all aspects. 

So all and all if somebody is paying on your behalf to watch Action Jackson believe me he don’t want you to be happy.

DAAWAT E ISHQ MOVIE REVIEW

After directing films like DO DOONI CHAAR and ISHQZAADE Habib Faizal is back with his latest film DAAWAT-E-ISHQ.

I like soda and I like milk-shake but it doesn’t mean you can make a soda milk-shake and DAWAT-E-ISHQ is also a strange blend of casting and story.

I don’t know but the film itself is not clear  about itself , I believe the director one day decided that people like heist films , social films and romantic film so lets make a story which is mixture of everything and in india everyone loves food so lets add some food in it and now we have a film Daawat-e-Ishq.

As actors I like Parineeti Chopra , Aditya roy kapur and I respect Anupam Kher but taking such a talented cast will not make a good movie for you until you utilize everyone’s ability.

I always remember Aditya Roy Kapur as a mindless drinker and in this film he is not drinking, so while watching the film in my mind I was always thinking like “Man you are good at playing drunk characters so consume some alcohol and do what you are good at. Same goes for Parineeti Chopra I always remember her as rusty , rough tomboy with a pure heart but in this film she is also not doing what she is good at.  Finally Anupam Kher he can do anything and whatever he is doing on screen no one else can do better than him so he is amazing in this film.

The story of Daawat-e-Ishq has so much plot holes in it that actors have to cover up those holes with their performance , every one is in good in this film but the problem is I am not buying what they are doing on screen. So according to me the problem is the story which is trying to cover up so many good things which you can’t digest.

Even the music is not too good. It’s not a kind of music which I would want to have in my phone and enjoy in peace it’s so cheesy. Do you know who loves cheesy music Autowalas , truckwalas and paanwala so those people will play the album of Daawat-E-Ishq and make you listen to it.

So all and all I didn’t  enjoy  Daawat-E-Ishq as much I wanted to enjoy it.

Have you seen it…?

What do you think about this…? Plz let me know
