Storyline

Jai (played by Hritik Roshan) lives in LA and earns his livelihood by teaching salsa classes and doesn’t mind getting extra bucks by any means possible. His luck comes knocking on the doors when his student Gina (played by Kangana Ranaut) falls in love with him and he comes to know that he is going to be a member of a millionaire family. While being in her house he meets Natasha (played by Barbara Mori), fiancée of Gina’s brother Tony (played by Nicolas Brown) and falls head over heals for her.

Jai and Natasha realize true love in their lives against the manipulative relationships they were maintaining till now. Both of them elope inviting the angst of Tony who wants them at any cost. The movie’s pace reduces instantly after this and it seems to be boring at some times. The movie then shows the romance between the two lovers and their randevous from place to place for survival and escaping from Tony and his men. Climax of the movie is not so cool and does not look convincing.

Final Thoughts
Not a very good movie but nevertheless a good one time watch. The movie is not able to engage the audience after such huge hype created during pre-release promotions. Performance wise all are good especially Barbara Mori and Hritik Roshan gets more credit as chemistry between both of them are incitingly sparkling. Despite being unfamiliar with each other’s language, they communicate through symbols and connect through momentary monosyllables establishing that love has no language. Barbara appears cute while speaking in broken English and radiates a stimulating smile that brightens up even the most mechanical scene.

Rating

Kites scores 6 out of 10 only because of good performance from Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori. Music of the movie is disappointing and so is direction. It was hard to understand why Rakesh Roshan did not direct the movie and asked Anurag Basu to direct Kites.

    Review of Salman Khan’s Action Movie: Wanted


    Friday, November 18th, 2011

    Movie: Wanted
    Director: Prabhu Deva
    Time: 2009
    Stars: Salman Khan, Ayesha Takia and Vinod Khanna

    Snapshot of the story

    Wanted is a story of an under cover cop played by Salman Khan in hunt for a gangster that made life in the city like hell even during daylight. Corrupt cops are also mixed with then making the situation worse. Salman Khan works for Gani bhai ( Prakash Raj) and will kill any one for money.

    Theme of Story

    There not much sense in the story and it is just for pure entertainment masala movie. There are many other movies made by Salman Khan and Wanted is one of them. Wanted is the remake of Tamil film Pokiri directed by Prabhu Deva which is also not an original concept and inspired from a Telugu film. Wanted from the beginning has the high action drama and shows Salman Khan doing the action scene across the city. Bullets firing, head smashing in the windows and Salman coming out of smoke fires put Salman Khan’s Dabangg on screen and off screen image. In all there action scenes Salman falls in love with sweet girls Jhanvi (played by Ayesha Takia) who works in a call center. Wanted is fast paced movie and if you are a  action movie lover then this one is full of entertainment for the viewer. Released on the eve of EID, it contributed to it’s grand opening of the movie worldwide. Salman has made lot of effort with this release and in the marketing of the movie. Music of the movie is good and the song like “Mera Hi Jalwa” was the popular dance number used in many dance reality shows.

    On Screen Chemistry

    Salman Khan was outstanding and as I said earlier the film does not make any real sense. Vinod Khanna as Salman’s Father and ex-policemen was good in his short performance. Music was not the highlight of this movie despite the one off hit of ‘Mera Hi Jalwa’.

    Rating

    I would give this 6 out of 10 for a powerhouse performance by Salman, the cuteness of Ayesha Takia and good choreography by Pradhu Deva on “Tera Hi Jalwa” that features Govinda and Anil Kapoor.

    Thursday, November 17th, 2011

    Movie: Singham
    Director: Rohit Shetty
    Time: 2009
    Stars: Ajay Devgan, Kajal Agrawal and Prakash Raj

    Snapshot of the story

    Rohit Shetty has made good action movies as a small town cop Singham (Ajay Devgan) who is honest, likes to help all and can not tolerate injustice (in short a perfect cop) gets entangled with a gangster who uses his political power to make his life a mysery. It is a face paced story showing how he overcomes these challenges.

    Ratings and Reviews of Singham

    Storyline

    Ajay Devgan is an honest cop living in a small town who believes in helping people. Because of the small locality every one knows each other. Every thing goes smoothly until the day when Singham wants a local high profile goon Jaykant Shikre (Prakash Raj) to see him in police custody. He tries to avoid this by using his influence which did not work and he needs to visit the police station. With revenge in his mind of this humiliation Jaykant Shikre uses his political power and Singham gets transferred to this locality and then starts the cat and mouse game between them.
    This is the most interesting part of the movie as the goon Jaykant Shikre and Singham try to have an upper hand with each other and this is the part of movie where action, drama and love follows. The role of Singham suits very well with Ajay Devgan. The movie has some strong dialogues and larger than life image of an Indian hero. There are some action scenes where we defy the laws of gravity and is entertaining to watch.
    In this high action drama director Rohit Shetty has introduced a moving story. Debutant Kajal Agrawal looked beautiful and very impressive in her first movie. Singham finds plenty of convolution in the story and it was good to see how entire police department stands against the goon and overpowers them.


    On Screen Chemistry

    The charismatic appearance of Ajay Devgan’s steals the show, romance is not the theme of the movie and could be the reason it has not been showcased as well. This is typical of the movie where there is fight over good and bad and one may think if one never gets tired of such stories? Singham does not have a strong storyline but fast paced movie which this is, keeps the audience interested.


    Rating

    Singham score 6.5 out of 10 for good performance of every actor especially Ajay Devgan and Prakash Raj. Action scenes were good but did not have freshness which we expected.

    Superhit Crime Thriller Scarface


    Storyline:
    This is one of the most popular movie that is often found on the shelves of many homes, a timeless piece that is still very watchable today.
    Tony Montana along with his best friend Manny Ribera come to Florida as refugees and immediately enter the life of drugs and brutal killings. The beginning of the movie is quite entertaining as they both get used to a new culture and clumsily and often comically find their way around town.
    Tony has big dreams and is itching for those dreams to materialize soon and manages to connect with the right people to enter into the world of drugs. His quick thinking and his talent for spotting trouble quickly makes him a close buddy of one of the top drug lords in his area. However, he yearns for more and from a bloody duel with his long standing boss becomes the new drug and crimelord of the area. As Tony yearns for more power he also becomes very protective and isolates himself in a highly secure mansion in a very desirable area. His desire for more power and shrugging authority, soon brings in the fists of the other drug lords of the country. Along with his rapid rise, he also becomes more suspicious of his close comrades and in one scene he shoots his best friend.

    Al Pachino gives a brilliant performance as an ambitiuous calculating Cuban who uses his wits to get to the very top of the drug empire. Unfortunately, the story has a tragic ending where a bloody shoot out at his house results in his demise.

    Final Thoughts
    The movie has all the traits of an authentic story telling and has been brilliantly directed by Brian De Palma which makes it a classic and one for the hall of fame. As you watch this movie at different periods in your life you can almost connect with all of the characters and their inner thoughts. This gives it the wide appeal and a timeless classic that is still enjoyed today.

    Time: 2004
    Stars: Hrithik Roshan, Amitabh Bachchan and Preity Zinta

    Snapshot of the story

    First half of the movie can be related to boy next door as Karan (Played by Hrithik Roshan) recently graduated from college and totally confused what to do in life. His mind keeps changing every day. However no dream is too big if he decides to achieve something and it is just the matter to when we realizes that dream.

    Farhan Akhtar Aims Big with: Lakshya


    Storyline

    Farhan Akhtar keeps reinvesting the ideal to fascinate the audience and especially young audience. After “Dil Chahta Hai” he comes with “Lakhya” with his signature style direction of story telling and some chart topper songs and choreographed by “Prabhu Deva”.
    In the story Hrithik comes from rich family and after college he is confused what to in life as his father wants him to join family business like his elder brother. One fine day with his friend he fills the employment form of armed forces and gets the interview call. However his friend denies as he has taken in the MBA College. Hrithik has a girl friend Romi (Played by Preity Zinta) and both are dating each other from long time. Preity Zinta motivates him to go for it as this could be he is looking for but Hrithik’s entire family is against him specially his dad.
    Against everyone, he goes to military academy but the tough training of army grills him a lot and decides to run out if the academy. This decision was not appreciated by his father and Preity Zinta and this becomes the point when there is crack in relationship with Preity Zinta. Hrithik went back to compete his training and get commissioned there and in the mean time extending his passion to his career Preity Zinta has become the Television Reporter.

    Twist in the Tale

    Priety Zinta goes to cover the war against Indian and Pakistan and come to know about Hrithik. This past of the movie has different emotions of romance, drama, action and patriotism. Second half of the movie has more of war scenes and touches lots of high moments. This is where their old love takes a new spring.

    Conclusion

    Story runs very slow and at time make you feel bore. Story runs on the straight note and has very few twists. Amitabha bachchan looks very nice if the small role as major of the army. Hrithik was very good and Priety look very beautiful as ever.

    Rating
    Story fails to make much impact on the audience and I will give it 7 out of 10 for some of the best dialog and songs by Javed Akhtar and to all the technical team which has to work in freezing condition of Kashmir and Ladakh.
