#Scam2003 review : Worth a watch.

Scam 2003: The Telgi Story review :

After the outstanding Scam 1992 which dealt with Harshad Mehta’s securities scam, Hansal Mehta and team brings a spiritual sequel narrating the journey of Abdul Karim Telgi, who was the mastermind of the infinitely bigger stamp paper scam.

Gagan Dev as Telgi is a showstopper, as much as Pratik Gandhi was as Harshad Mehta in Scam 1992. The basic motive is greed…which the fictitious Gordon Gecko famously claimed in Wallstreet (1987) as for the want of a better word, is good!! Good it is atleast initially as we witness Telgi growing from a fruit seller in a small town to a fake stamp paper baron after oiling the corrupt system – from cops and bureaucrats to politicians!!

The infamous Tarannum incident where Telgi blew away close to a crore rupees one night on a bar girl, is the highlight of the five episodes series where we see the character boosting his ego at that insane cost!! The series ends there with a promise of a second volume coming in November to take the story forward. Scam 2003 is a definite one time watch which will whet your apetite for the next to follow…

#DreamGirl2Review : Ayushmann & Seema Pahwa make it work.

Dream Girl 2 review :

For the ’80s movie buffs like me, Dream Girl meant Hema Malini. That film celebrated her eternal beauty right till 2019 when Ayushmann Khurrana hijacked the title for his romcom which became a surprise box office hit. Dressed in a drag to elicit laughter quite like what Mehmood Saahab did in the ’70s, the new Dream Girl franchise is basically an old wine in new bottle which works due to Ayushmann’s perfect comic timing coupled with a stellar cast who deliver big time…

Initially titled Karam Hi Pooja Hai, the makers decided to call it Dream Girl 2 supposedly to cash in on the success of first part and to give them their due, the end product is a perfect follow up to that 2019 movie. In fact, Dream Girl 2 ups the ante on the humour as well as glamour quotient providing you two hours ten minutes of unabashed entertainment. Logic be damned!!After Gadar and OMG 2, this could well be another hit at the box office. Truly, ‘achche din’ are back for Bollywood and how!!

Cut to the plot, Ayushmann is forced to lead a dual life of Karam and Pooja to settle his father’s (Annu Kapoor) debts as well as satisfy the dowry demand of twenty five lakhs to marry his lady love (Ananya Pandey). Next, he multi tasks as a bar dancer for the shady Sona bhai (Vijay Raaz) as well as the coy ‘bahu’ of Abu Saleem (Paresh Rawal). There is an added ‘tadka’ of Saleem’s elderly sister Jumani (Seema Pahwa), who has the hots for Karam while his pappa Annu Kapoor wishes to make her his wife. Oops!!

Dream Girl 2 is peppered with hilarious one liners and crazy situations which will make you roll with laughter. Khurrana’s double date with Vijay Raaz and Seema Pahwa in same restobar is simply hilarious. So is the misunderstanding between Annu Kapoor and Seema Pahwa, which culminates in a lol sequence at Paresh Rawal’s home. The screenplay and dialogues are indeed top notch, specially the witty one liners from Shilpa to Suniel Shetty and Sunny Deol to Leone. Laughter guaranteed!!

The performances are expectedly first rate. The veterans – Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor, Asrani – are reliably competent in their characters. Seema Pahwa is outstanding as the libidinous Jumani and her scenes with Khurrana and Annu Kapoor bring the house down. On the other hand, Bollywood ki self declared struggler Ananya Pandey is ineffective and unable to conjure any chemistry with Ayushmann Khurrana. In fact, she is hardly noticeable in the movie.

Finally, Dream Girl 2 belongs to Ayushmann Khurrana, who once again delivers a super fine performance. From a MTV Roadie to singer to actor, this man has come a long way and can get in to any character with comfortable ease. Sperm donor ho ya bar dancer!! Dream Girl 2 is yet another feather in his cap. Kudos Mr. Khurrana!!

#TaaliWebSeriesReview: Sush rocks, series doesn’t!!

Taali review :

Let me start with a confession!!

I am a huge Sushmita Sen fan right since the ’90s when she won the Miss Universe title and entered Bollywood as an actor. Sush can be called an eternal beauty with grace and dignity aplenty. That she is playing a transgender in the latest JioCinema web-series titled Taali was sufficient for me to binge watch it on the day of release.

Based on life of social activist Shreegauri Sawant who was instrumental in getting the much needed social recognition for the transgender community, Taali is structured in a non-linear form oscillating between the court case and Gauri’s past as Ganesh. The six episodes skim through her life journey leaving out some crucial parts like how she managed to cope up in Mumbai after her family deserted her. Also at times, the screenplay appears to be a matter of convenience as Gauri keeps getting one opportunity after another post her sex operation. A bit more detailed study in to her psyche and mind would have helped here and I don’t know if that is reserved for second season, if any.

Coming to dear Sush, she is undoubtedly the lifeline of the web-series. It is truly gutsy of her to become Gauri Sawant and deliver such a splendid performance in a totally deglam avatar. Just look at her when she confronts a hospital dean (Ananth Mahadevan) in his office and you will understand my point. Kudos Sushmita!!

#OMG2Review : Bravo Akshay Kumar!!

OMG 2 review :

A supposed spiritual sequel to Oh My God (OMG) in which Paresh Rawal held Lord Krishna (Akshay Kumar) responsible for the devastation of his shop; OMG 2 has no direct case against the almighty God. Akshay Kumar plays Lord Shiva’s ‘gan’ (messenger/follower), who helps Rawal’s replacement Pankaj Tripathi in bringing justice to his teenage son. Of course, it is common knowledge that Kumar is Lord Shiva here relegated to being his messenger as per the diktat of our dear censor board. Quite a few dialogues in the movie also appear muted or modified as they don’t lip sync.

Cut to the plot, Tripathi is a devout Mahaadev bhakt, whose son is caught masturbating in his school washroom and his video goes viral. Next, beta is expelled from the school whose trustee is ‘Lord Ram’ fame Arun Govil. Oh ho!! Pappa then files a case against the school and a few others (including himself) as responsible for his son’s immoral conduct. His point is clear – introduce sex education in schools so teenagers don’t go astray..

The film raises a serious concern about the need for sex education even while staying confined to the realms of commercial cinema. In fact, the mood is kept comical just like the first part. The courtroom scenes between Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam, playing the defending lawyer, are hilarious and bring the house down.

The performances are first rate. Pankaj Tripathi is outstanding in the lead role. Yami Gautam is simply superb in a somewhat negative part. The pretty lady lends her own grace and class to her grey character. Pavan Malhotra, the fantastic actor that he is, brings in his own value add as the judge for this unique case. His expressions speak volumes!! Aarush Varma is equally effective as the confused shamed teenager driven to suicide. Even peripheral characters like the quack and sex medicine vendor are memorable.

Finally, OMG 2 belongs to Akshay Kumar, who elevates it to a cut above the commonplace proving yet again that he is ‘asli khiladi’ of socially relevant cinema. His dance to ‘Har Har Mahadev’ number is truly clap worthy. In one scene, he hums the popular Gadar song as if giving a nod to its sequel running riot in the next audi. Bravo Akshay!!

#Gadar2Review : Sunny does it again!

Gadar 2 review :

Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seat belts and get ready to time travel in the past.
2001 to be precise when Gadar released and theatres across India reverberated to ‘Hindustan Zindabad’ and ‘Bharatmata ki Jai’ cries.
Gadar 2 brings that same euphoria back to cinemas and how!!

The noisy boisterous crowd at Movietime Starcity Cinema, Matunga were cheering every Sunny Paaji scene so loudly that I missed some dialogues in between. Need to go back anyway as Gadar 2 has tremendous repeat value even for a regular moviegoer – single screen ho ya multiplex, it is a must see.

Taking Tara Singh- Sakina’s story forward, this direct sequel takes place in 1970’s Pakistan where Tara goes one more time to save his son Jeetey imprisoned there. The enemy this time, is an ISI General seeking revenge for Tara Singh’s past adventures in Pakistan we are all aware of…

Expectedly, Sunny Deol is outstanding in a role no other actor can attempt to save his life!! Tara Singh is a complete Deol character. Right from his introduction till the climactic encounter, Deol plays to the gallery and delivers his punches – the ‘dhaai kilo haath’ ones as well verbal roar of ‘Hindustan Zindabad forever’. Wow!!

Ameesha Patel compliments Sunny superbly and gives the film an effective nostalgic touch when the part one chartbuster songs are recreated on them. Utkarsh Sharma, growing up from kiddo Jeetey to play Tara-Sakina’s grown up ‘gabru’ son, pitches in a decent performance. Simrat Kaur as Utkarsh’s Pakistani girlfriend, looks gorgeous. The love angle between the two is truly endearing. Manish Wadhwa leaves a mighty impression as the evil General who hates Indians, particularly Tara Singh.

The action sequences are brilliantly executed and Sunny Deol does wonders with a hammer and a wheel this time. The iconic handpump from first part also plays its own pivotal role. Tee hee!!

Anil Sharma’s direction is rooted in the ’90s and that is the biggest USP of Gadar 2. It transforms us to that era of masala entertainers where over the top action and punchy one liners generated ‘ceetis’ and claps from the audience. We have been missing that fun in Bollywood for quite some time now. Glad it is back. Hindustan Zindabad!!

#RockyAurRaniReview : All about loving your lovings!!

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani review :

Remember RGV’s Company (2002)?

There was a character in it (played wonderfully by the late Neeraj Vora) modelled on Karan Johar, who boasts of his film being a “big big hit” while announcing his new venture. “Its not a love story. It’s a love saga. Its all about….loving your lovings!!”, he declares. Well, Karan Johar latest directorial in his twenty-fifth year of filmmaking existence, is exactly that movie which RGV mocked in Company…

Borrowing elements from his own past hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) and a crucial sub-plot from Subhash Ghai’s Saudagar (1991), Rocky Rani offers nothing new in terms of originality or content. Yet, the film turns out to be an engaging one time watch for its crackling chemistry between the lead pair and some witty dialogues which bring a smile on your face.

Ranveer Singh suits the character of ‘bindaas’ Rocky to the T and actually appears to be playing himself in the movie. Alia looks lovely in those designer sarees and conjures an amazing chemistry with her Gully Boy (2019) co-star. On the other hand, veterans like Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan are thoroughly wasted. It is appalling to see Garam Dharam in such a whinny sissy role. He doesn’t even have proper lines to speak in the movie. Sad!! Jaya Bachchan’s strict snobbish grandmom reminds you of Madhur Jaffery in Ramesh Sippy’s Saagar (1985).

Music has always been Karan’s fortè but shockingly, Rocky Rani is just plain average on this front. The old hindi songs medley is well assembled though! The production values are first rate and Karan’s penchant of passing off foreign palaces as Chandni Chowk is omnipresent here as well. The movie is a visual delight, no doubt.

Finally, Rocky aur Rani makes for an ideal date movie. You will enjoy the two and half hours inside the dark auditorium and forget it all, a few minutes after coming out. It’s that Kjo-neric!!

#BawaalReview : Varun & Janhvi shine in this Love & War drama.

Bawaal review :

A direct to OTT release; Nitesh Tiwari’s Bawaal gets an A for its intent and the underlying message. Even with its share of flaws and a few slack moments in between the two hours fifteen minutes runtime.

A highly image conscious Lucknowi school teacher (Varun Dhawan) despises his wife (Janhvi Kapoor) due to her epileptic condition. This ever hyper history teacher creates a ‘bawaal’ when he slaps the legislator’s son and gets instantly suspended. As an image saving ploy, he travels to Europe with wifey in tow, and streams the World War II (WW II) striken cities of Paris, Berlin, Normandy, etc as a live history lesson to his students…

Admittedly, Bawaal’s basic concept of finding happiness in oneself, is quite pertinent for today’s times. To quote a yesteryear song “Duniya mein itna ghum hai, mera ghum kitna kum hai”, is the lesson here. Varun’s inherent frustration finds a vent while exploring the war sites of Europe. His strained equation with Janhvi also changes during the course of their Europe tour, which make for some genuinely funny moments. The Gujju gang encounter is one such hilarious sequence.

On the flipside, correlating WW II events to the human psyche of finding true happiness may not be relatable to the average Indian. Perhaps a history lesson from India might have served the purpose better.

Tiwari extracts awesome performances from his lead pair. Varun Dhawan is just perfect as the utter selfish dude, who just cannot think beyond himself. His subsequent self realization also looks completely convincing. Janhvi Kapoor is a revelation. She springs a pleasant surprise with a highly controlled and effective act besides looking extremely pretty throughout the movie. Bawaal would certainly boost her career in a big way. Kudos!

To sum up, Bawaal is worth a dekho. Don’t know how its theatrical performance would have been, but it will definitely do very well on Amazon Prime. Hit hai boss!!

#OppenheimerReview : Not Nolan’s best but still worth a watch!!

Oppenheimer review :

“I am become death; the destroyer of the worlds”; this particular Bhagvad Gita reference finds itself in the most unlikely moment in Christopher Nolan’s latest cinematic spectacle called Oppenheimer, which is the name of the father of the atomic bomb. Knowing the genius of Nolan, he tells the the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer in his now patented “non-linear”form with the all important Sanskrit phrase from the revered Hindu holy book forming part of a sex scene as well as the adrenaline rushing “test” of the atom bomb.

The film is not just a simple biopic on the creator of the atom bomb but also a wonderful insight in to the political situation of the ’40s, particularly the World War II. Oppenheimer is shown to be leftist inclined; an ideology which gets him embroiled in a litigation later. His relationship with his fellow scientists (particularly the great Albert Einstein) as well as his personal affairs with his wife (Emily Blunt) and girlfriend (Florence Pugh) are effectively shown.

Quite verbose in its presentation with two parallel conversations leading to the climax, Oppenheimer is certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, particularly if you are craving for just action and not dialogue heavy stuff. The actual bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki isn’t shown as Nolan prefers concentrating on aftermath of the same. Oppenheimer’s meeting with then POTUS Truman makes for a highly interesting scene. So is the climactic revelation about a certain crucial character.

Technically, Nolan scores full marks yet again with an outstanding background score, awesome visual appeal and top notch production values expected from him.

The cast is extraordinary and expectedly, Cillian Murphy delivers his best performance till date. Robert Downey Jr. is the scene stealer as Lewis Strauss, the Chairman of the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). Matt Damon is also a standout as General Groves, the director of Manhattan Project. Rami Malek leaves a mark even in a cameo. The rest of the cast is also first rate.

Oppenheimer may not match the level of Nolan’s Inception (2010) or Interstellar (2014) but is way above the ordinary Hollywood stuff being served these days. Don’t miss it in theatres!!

#MissionImpossibleReview : The Key to a kill!!

Mission Impossible- Dead Reckoning Part One review :

The core focus of the latest Mission Impossible movie is a key. Yea, you heard it right, a key!! I think the last time a key played such a pivotal role in a Hollywood film was Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder (1954). Of course, this ain’t a key to a house where a murder is planned but a mean to unlock an AI generated software called ‘The Entity’, which can create a global havoc.

The Mission impossible franchise is all about Tom Cruise and the guy continues to amaze us with some amazing stunts this time as well. From the elaborate car chase in Italy to the climactic train mayhem, Cruise is first rate. Hayley Atwell impresses a ton as the grey shaded Grace, who turns effortlessly from an expert thief to an Ethan ally.

The new Mission Impossible is certainly worth your ticket price, especially if you have followed the franchise since its inception in 1996 when Tom Cruise became Ethan Hunt. Go and enjoy it pronto at your nearest cinema.

#BlindReview: A strictly avoidable fare.

Blind review :

Another week in Bollywood with yet another senseless remake; Blind is adapted from a South Korean thriller and premiered directly on JioCinema this friday. Wise call by the makers I would say, as this movie wouldn’t have lasted one day in theatres. No kidding!!

A serial killer (Purab Kohli) is on the loose and only one blind (ex) cop (Sonam Kapoor) has interacted with him once. How this lady manages to nab the dangerous criminal forms the crux of this lethargic and yawn inducing screenplay.

Sonam Kapoor as the main lead, is a disaster yet again proving her supremely untalented acting skills. This movie needed a Vidya Balan, boss!! Purab Kohli fails to scare in a negative role of the psychopath doctor. Vinay Pathak is just about okey dokey as the investigating cop.

Most of the film’s dialogues are in English and the few Hindi ones suck big time. The foreign locales add zero value to the plot and I wonder why the movie couldn’t be based in our own swadesh!!

Unsolicited suggestion: Act blind as well as deaf if anyone recommends you this tripe. You will do yourself a big favour!!
