Can Karan & Arjun Make Me Watch This Again? NO!

Advantages: not many
Disadvantages: too long, silly story

Karan and Arjun are brothers living with their mother Durga. As adults they are murdered by their uncle who also killed their father to take over the boys' inheritance from their paternal grandfather. In her grief, Durga, becomes obsessed with praying to God and miles away and unrelated her boys are reborn. Years later, Karan & Arjun meet and feeling they know each other, they somehow end up in the village from their last life and meet Durga who ...
...out there, but films like Karan Arjun makes it seem as if rich landowners can go around killing whomever they please to, never mind the fact that the people they killed were not street urchins (not that that should make any difference) but the actual rightful owners of the land. Not wanting to harp on about the huge part of the storyline that annoyed me, I'll talk about the characters in the film. Karan and Arjun are played by Salman and Shah Rukh ...

Khakee - Uniform

Advantages: Exceptional acting and great story
Disadvantages: None

Khakee is the colour of the uniform of an indian police officer's uniform. This film, like many other Bollywood films, can be seen as "inspired" by Hollywood films but this film does add its own touch to it. It is by Rajkumar Santoshi and is narly 3 hours long. The plot is that there is a group of police officersin chandargadh who have been given the job of transporting a terrorist (Iqbal Ansari) to Mumbai for his court case. Amitabh Bachchan ...
...believes in morals and always doing the right thing.

There are also 3 other officers with them. The teaem have been warned that Ansari's terrorist group will attempt to stop them from getting to the courts.

Insan-ly boreing

Advantages: it is long
Disadvantages: it is the worst film i have ever seen

...far between. Unfortunately Insan ("human") is one of these formula based films. It has the same old lovers meet misfortune and come good in the end script that we have all seen a million times before. It's a shame but for some reason, unknown to me, these films are a sure fire hit with the Indian box office. Keshu Ramsay's Insan is one of these formula films and to make matters worse it is a direct copy of a Telegu film called KHADGAM which starred ...
...add to the original and it's only saving grace is that the lead is played by a very handsome Akshay Kumar. He plays the part of a street-wise city living muslim "dude" with such conviction that one gets the feeling that he is the only reason why anyone would want to undergo the torture of watching this film. This film has also followed the latest hindi film trend of terrorism as a main aspect of the story line. But this has to be done with great ...

I "Challenge" You To Watch Elaan

Advantages: A good looking all star cast
Disadvantages: Plot lets the film down

Elaan means "Challenge" and just in case you were going to take my title seriously, I'd advise you to read to the end of this review before deciding! This Bollywood film was directed by Vikram Bhatt and produced by Ganesh & Ratan Jain, Elaan stars Mithun Chakraborty, Rahul, Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Amisha Patel, John Abraham and Lara Dutta. The cinematography is by Pravin Bhatt and the film was released in January 2005. It's not suitable for viewers ...
...MUSIC? The lyrics for Elaan were by Sameer and music was by Anu Malik, whilst playback singers include: Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Sunidhi Chauhan, Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal. One of the songs (I think it was called "Hulchul") had me giggling as during part of the song John Abraham wears a waistcoat (with no shirt) and trousers which can only be described in my mind as M C Hammer pants! It was supposed to look seductive but this dance routine ...

The Bigger the hit, the faster the rush, the Sweeter the revenge!

Advantages: Great action packed film, Great actors, Good storyline
Disadvantages: You may not be able to get into the story-line!

...WHSmith. ***CRANK 2*** Crank 2: High Voltage was released this year and contains Jason Statham again. Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...
