"BROTHERS" Movie review

All this years Bollywood is consistently ripping Hollywood classics, First it was godfather (Sarkar) than it was Almighty Bruce (God tussi great ho) and now it’s time for critically acclaimed Warriors (Brothers).When you watch Warriors you feel like it has all necessary elements to become a top notch Hindi movie and finally Brothers are out and here is my review of Brothers.

First things first Brothers is directed by Karan Malhotra who previously directed Agneepath (New one) and now he is back with Brothers which is also produced by Karan Johar.  Brothers is a story of broken family, this family has to sons one good and one is simply opposite and both hates each other like hell and destiny brings them against each other in a MMA tournament where brothers has to fight to prove their supremacy.

If you find one eye catching this in Brothers that is no doubt Akshay Kumar who is simply amazing, he is very innocent in emotional sequences and he is equally badass in action, it’s a treat to watch his doing hardcore training and fight so gracefully with his gray beard, on the other hand we have Sidharth Malhotra who carries one single expression in the entire movie irrespective of the flow on emotion. Jackie Shroff is also good atleast he gives justice to his character and at last our eye-candy Jacqueline Fernandez and she doesn’t do more anything more than looking beautiful on screen.   

In first half director takes his time to establish his characters which is a good thing but second half is eye popping because this is the part where all the badass action sequence is. Sometimes this movie makes you so emotional that you will like crying and in some part it will make you feel like “What the hell!” This movie is a roller-coaster ride of emotions yet less enjoyable than a real roller-coaster.

Now lets talk about music Department, after watching the entire film I can only recall 3 songs ,

1.       Brothers anthem (extremely energetic and expertly mixed)

2.       Mera Naam Mary Hai ( already a hit item number although Kareena is a treat to watch)

3.   Sapna jaha (very romantic and well sung by Sonu Nigam and this is the only song which I would like to have in my playlist) 

So all and all you will enjoy Brothers if you are an Akshay Kumar or Sidhart Malhotra fan. This movie is not a masterpiece but overall its worth watching.  

BOMBAY VELVET MOVIE REVIEW

Friends I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Finally Anurag Kashyap is back with his ambitious dream project Bombay Velvet. Before you watch this movie you have to understand one thing that Anurag Kashyap has his own distinct way of filmmaking he in no Karan Johar or Rohit Shetty but it does not mean he is not talented according to me Anurag Kashyap is one of the finest filmmakers of Indian cinema.

First of all Bombay Velvet’s biggest attraction is not Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma or Karan Johar its Anurag kashyap’s direction. It’s the first time when Anurag Kashyap is making a movie on this big scale and this movie will decide his future or should I say his playground.

Bombay Velvet is again a typical Anurag Kashyap movie with weird characters and twisty story line. Ranbir Kapoor is playing the character of Johnny AKA johnny Balraj who wants to become a big shot a street fighter and wants to be with Rosie (Anushka Sharma) who is a Jazz singer. And with them we have Karan Johar who is playing the character of Kaizad Khambata.

Ranbir kapoor is just average in this movie his fans will be disappointed but on the other hand Anushka Sharma and Karan Johar are amazing. I was excited to see Karan Johar acting on screen and he is outstanding.

The story of Bombay Velvet takes place in Mumbai 1960. One thing which is really amazing in this movie is Art direction the way they created retro era on screen is simply brilliant.

All and all Bombay velvet does not match Anurag Kashyap standards. Only a typical class of audience will enjoy this movie.
