Simmba: Movie Review

Image Courtesy: tanqeed.com

A good entertainer with upbeat background music makes this Ranveer Singh starrer Simmba a one time watch for this year end.

Simmba is a remake of the Tamil blockbuster ‘Temper’. Copying (inspired) every exact scene from the original film makes Rohit Shetty a good Xerox machine than a director. Though this film is really fun to watch, the story line pulls this film a little step backwards.

Ranveer singh does his acting job very well with his good dialogue delivery and actions, Sara Ali khan has nothing much to offer for the film. The supporting cast plays its role well and prevents the film from dipping at some points.

The entry of Ajay Devgn made the cinema hall cheer up and also made them realise that Ajay had more screen time than Sara in the film. The film ends with an indication for Akshay kumaar’s upcoming film ‘Sooryawanshi’ as a police officer.

A copy paste film could have invested in just dubbing the Tamil blockbuster than remaking the whole film scene by scene. Go and watch Simmba for Ranveer Singh and to enjoy a good family entertainer.


F and R rating: 3/5

Robot 2.0 Review

Image Courtesy: https://wallpapersite.com

Starting off with the visual punch was pretty over the mark for an Indian film. However the budget division of Rs. 600 crore didn’t have a corner for a good script. Terrific visuals with a below average script is the building stone of this Rajini – Akshay starrer film Robot 2.0.

What happens when the ‘Aura’ of a human and thousands of birds combine? A negative energy is born, that is Akshay Kumar for you. And to fight this supernatural power ‘Chitti’ the andro-humanoid robot which was dismantled in the first instalment of this film is brought back.

Nila (Amy Jackson) is another andro-humanoid robot which is not designed to fight but only to serve humans and do household chores, is shown to be a movie buff. Her role is as irrelevant in the film as Sana’s (Aishwaria Rai) voice in the film.

Watch Robot 2.0 to witness the third version of Chitti – 3.0 during the climax of the film. With an eye catching visual effect and a weak storyline, Robot 2.0 is yet another above average film.

F & R rating – 3/5

OK JAANU: Movie Review

OK JAANU: Movie Review

Image Courtesy:   www.comingtrailer.com

Adi is a video game developer with the American dream; Tara is an architect, destined for Paris. But they lock eyes at a wedding and all their plans go out of the window. They flirt, take a trip together, move in and decide to date for as long as they’re both in Mumbai. But as expected, both fall in love and eventually marry. The story line has nothing new to give to its audience but the screenplay is what attracts them.


The screenplay is kept intact from its Tamil predecessor and is a scene-for-scene remake and capitalizes on great moments from the original film. The music (largely retained) with Gulzar’s new lyrics also does a throwback to “OK Kanmani” in the best way possible.

Aditya Roy Kapur shines as a goofy, shorts-wearing man-child. Shraddha is mostly sincere too, but Adi and Tara’s impulsive infatuation is countered by Gopi uncle (Naseeruddin Shah) and Charu aunty’s (Leela Samson) golden-jubilee marriage; both senior actors grounding the movie and saving it from becoming frivolous. 

In spite of its Pros, one can’t deny that unsure young lovers and their battle with commitment phobia is a tired topic to begin with. Moreover, if you’ve seen the original Tamil film, it’ll get tedious after a while, knowing exactly what’s coming next.

Talking about the songs the tile track and ‘Enna sona’ will surely grab many ears. But it is surprising that all those were composed by A.R Rahman, this happens because his standards are expected much more higher than that used in this movie.

There is nothing much to offer in the acting part execpt the charm that both of them have. Naseer sir like always has impressed the audience by his versatality.

Also to be concidered is the direction of the film dosent loose the pace and even does not drag, a huge thumbs up for that.

If you haven’t seen the original though, you’re sure to walk out of the theatre with a warm-fuzzy feeling. Go and watch OK JAANU for Shraddha and Adity’s chemistry plus the amazing screenplay of the film.

M.S. DHONI: Movie Review

Image Courtesy:  timesofap.com

"Absolutely magnificent... Dhoni,finishes off in-style... a magnificent strike into the crowd! India lifts the world cup after 28 years, the party started in the dressing room and it's an Indian captain who's been absolutely magnificent at the night of the final."- Commentator, 2011 Cricket World Cup.

Shushant Singh Rajput shines well throughout the film and his hard work studying Dhoni’s skills can be clearly seen. Being a 3hour 10minute film, earlier it was felt that the film might drag the story a bit but by surprise the film doesn’t. The eagerness to know the story of a living legend and the ability of the director to make the film in such a way that gives Goosebumps to the viewers are the major plus points of the film.

Image Courtesy: moviesdhamaal.com

M.S. Dhoni- An Untold Story, is an ode to friendship, struggles, responsibility, compromise and facing life regardless of the unexpected turns and twists.
The editing team of the film has also done a great job as it tried to make the film as real as possible. For example morphing Sushant into the actual video of the match with Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Sngh.

The romantic scenes in the film could be improved as love also played a major role in Dhoni’s life. But this drawback gets faded when the other great aspects of the film amazes the audience.

As a reviewer I actually don’t want to reveal anything about the way the story of the film is compiled up, because it will spoil the viewing experience of the reader.

A must watch for everyone as this is one of those films which leaves an impact on everyone’s lives. Go and watch this film for this inspiring story, mind blowing Sushant’s resemblance to Dhoni and a 190 minute journey of back to back Goosebumps.

Baar Baar Dekho: Movie Review

Image Courtesy: img.nowrunning.com
There are a lot moments in the film to be celebrated about. The realization of the importance of the present shown in a different way in the film makes ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ a special weekend entertainer.

To enjoy the film firstly scientific logics have to be kept aside, because if the film is watched from a scientific viewpoint this film is irrelevant. But! Simply understanding the little but cute also the big but relate-able moments in  the film makes you come out from the movie theater as a person who realizes the importance of present and the peace of mind while enjoying the small moments of life.

A relationship right from the childhood of Jai (Siddharth Malhotra) and Diya (Katrina Kaif) that later in their adulthood turned into a near situation of marriage, was quite not acceptable for Jai. As Jai being a genius in mathematics wanted a successful career than just being stuck between Diya and her Father.

What next the story unveils is Jai experiencing the good and worst highlights of his life- basically he wakes up in his future every time he sleeps. This confused and scary journey to Jai was a way of realizing the importance of his present and the time he had wasted in just working on his so called to-be-successful career.

Unveiling those incidents would be literally lame as a reviewer, because those moments can only be enjoyed in a theatre than just reading it on a blog.

But to be truthful enough much of acting cannot be seen in the film just the way the film is made will entertain you, thanks to Nitya Mehra (Director). The supporting actors had not much to contribute but at the same time played some major roles in the protagonist’s life. Depiction of the futuristic world having the much developed gadgets are very similar to the present day imaginations of the future, so nothing new in that part of the film.

If the songs except ‘teri khair mangdi’ and ‘kala chashma’ were well made then this film could be the perfect Bollywood entertainer. However, if these minor flaws are kept aside then this film is really well made and has a good message.

Go and watch ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ for its entertaining element and its good message.

A Flying Jatt: Movie Review

Image Courtesy:media.santabanta.com
“A film made with good intentions but proved to be an anti-pollution lecture towards the end.”- A.T.M reviews,

A jatt who gets some superpowers through a tree and a villain who gets some superpowers through the same tree and their fight is what all about in this movie, and of course some not so great lectures on pollution at regular intervals towards the end.

The story revolves around a school martial art teacher (Tiger Shroff), a good for nothing guy who loves his mom and falls in love with a girl who basically enters the story from nowhere. Most of the first half of the film focuses on Amaan’s (Tiger) comedy, his family history and the love story between Amaan and Kriti (Jacqueline Fernandez).

A big business man Malhotra (Kay Kay Menon) who wants a bridge to be constructed on a river starting from a village to his factory, to reduce his cost of transportation. But what hinders this plan is a 200 year old sacred tree that is just on the point where the bridge has to be constructed.

Towards  the interval, a huge sized villain Raaka (Nathan Jones) is introduced. The villain is backed by Kay Kay Menon. When Raaka is hired to cut the tree at night Amaan coincidently comes across him and next a much expected fight scene while it is heavily raining is showed. Eventually, by god’s powers when both get in physical contact with the sacred tree, both attain super powers.

This is what leads to the opening of the actual story.

The major drawback of the film is that, by this moment the audience looses their interest from the film and even starts moving out of the theatre, this is an assured response of the audience from most of the theatres.

Like every movie Tiger Shroff, in this movie too is shown somewhere connected to martial arts but what impresses more are some specific scenes in the song ‘Toota Jo Kabhi Taara’ and Shraddha  Kapoor’s voice in the same song. But it’s advised not to expect anything more than this in the movie.

Being a Remo D’souza film, it was expected that the film would have some great dance moves but this film disappointed the viewers on that section too. Talking about special effects, the film fails miserably, visual effects of some scenes will probably haunt you at night.

Go and watch ‘A Flying Jatt’ for a good chapter on Pollution and nothing else.
