Review of Trishul (Hindi Language) (DVD)

The crux of drama

Advantages: Entertaining, touching, evergreen, melodious
Disadvantages: It has lived out all disadvantages by now

Sholay (Hindi) How far can you go in sacrificing for your close friend? How much can you be passionate about your job? How much sensitive can you become after listening to a touching story? How much brave can you turn out and rise to the occasion? I will give you the answers in the context of this legendary movie - Sholay! Jay and Veeru are close friends and Jay can sacrifice his life for Veeru, by risking to lead the battle. Why I call it ...
...coin to make a decision in dilemma and he always wins as the coin has got only Heads on both the side, no Tails. Jay always knows this and Veeru never! Thakur is so passionate about his job as a police officer that he doesn't mind risking his own life (and that of his dear ones) by chasing Gabbar, the dacoit, on his own, day and night. As soon as Gabbar gets a chance, he rips off Thakur's very hands which had trapped him earlier. There starts the ...

On Reflection It Didn't Reflect Too Well

Advantages: Good acting?
Disadvantages: Too surreal for my liking

Aks (meaning REFLECTION) was released in mid 2001 and was directed by Rakesh Mehra who also wrote the screenplay. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Bajpai, Raveena Tandon, and Nandita Das. It's classified as 15 (there are certain scenes which are rather unsuitable for youngsters) and it runs for just over 3 hours. PLOT BASICS Manu Verma (Bachchan) is devoted to his job as head of national security and is on the trail of a crazed serial killer/terrorist ...
...add that the story for Aks was somewhat inspired by the Cage/Travolta hit Face Off, although anyone who's seen that will know that it had no supernatural aspect to it as this film did. WHERE TO GET IT You can pick up the DVD from sendit.com for £19.99 or from Amazon for just £7.97 or try rentinf it from your usual DVD rental source. TO CLOSE? Out of 10 I'd give this film maybe a 4! I found it a bizarre film to say the least… To give the film credit ...

Waqt- An emotional story of a father and a son

Advantages: Decent story,Funny first half.good performances
Disadvantages: could have been better.priyanka chopra is wasted.

...Irani are the comic reliefs in the film and will surely bring the house down! The comedy in the first half is top notch.Priyanka Chopra gets nothing to do other than being pregnant! Vipul shah knows how to blend emotions with commercial flavors and thats what makes waqt worthwhile. ...

Review of Waqt - The Race Against Time (Subtitled) (DVD)

Eyes wide open

Advantages: Strong dialogues, superb acting, serious storyline on a major subject, acting quality.
Disadvantages: The language used in the movie are really abusive at times.

I had missed the movie Sarkar, when it was first released worldwide in the year 2005. But fortunately, I came across it from a friend of mine and bought the DVD. It was really a great creation of Ram Gopal Verma, who is a renowned film producer of India. The story is based on the Novel Godfather by Mario Puzo. Though the movie adopts its story from the novel, the director producer of the movie spiced it in his own way to give his expertise touch ...
...a bar and thrill starts from there itself. The plot of the story is Mumbai, the fashion hub of India, the film city. The lead character of the movie was played by yesterdays superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who played the role of Subhash Nagre, a self made hero to give justice to the people. He was a godly person to everyone under his area of reign. Even the governing authorities too seek his guidance for political moves in the state. The acting talent ...
