Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Sjhm But if you wanted Shakespeare, why are you watching this movie? It's colourful, fun, the characters are attractive, they all burst into song and dance about, there are no sordid and entirely gratuitous scenes of either sex or extreme and gut churning brutality. It all hangs together reasonably well, and moves from set piece to set piece almost seamlessly. Yes, the stunts are way over the top, and yes, you do have to dig deep a couple of times to suspend disbelief (the opening Jetski stunt pretty much defies the laws of physics and gravity simultaneously)... but... come on...this is a high-octane romp! And as such it's attractive, inventive and silly. Perfect kick back material for those of us who are tired of the over-sexed extreme brutality of Hollywood movies. I really don't mind if bits of it are ripped off from other places, because I don't go through a movie looking for those sorts of things. The only real downer for me was Jai, Mr Grumpy Misery-Guts... who basically took the grumpy, hen-pecked husband thing just a bit too far, although even he forgets to be miserable when he's dancing. It is neither Shakespeare nor Saw... and frankly, all the better for it.One could rhapsodise endlessly about Hrithik Roshan's dancing and acting. He steals every scene he's in. The infamous lip-lock scene which got people all hot under the collar is one of the sweetest, most tender bits of cinema I've seen in a long time, coming at the end of a scene of high emotion that is the pivotal moment of the film. His acting is sublime - I've seen a few comments around about "The Queen" that she's ugly etc... my answer, look a little closer... work it out... she's a he. Yes, under all that make-up it IS Hrithik. I had to look twice. The same with the old cleaner, although you do get the odd hint before the big reveal. Anyway, Hrithik climbs into the skin of each and every character disguise he dons in the film. And his dancing is mind-blowing, Hrithik can really bust those moves, in the dance sequences he really gives it his all. Okay, this is for the female portion of the audience... but the songs are not intrusive and actually do advance the action of the story.Aish is cute and pretty... and that is her job... to be cute and pretty and have Hrithik's character, Aryan, fall for her. She does it admirably. Within the confines of what her character does in the story, she plays the part well enough.I actually like the Monali character far more than the Shonali version, especially in the scene where she suggests to Jai that he could have stopped Mr A by shooting and killing him, although the scenes where she threatens to shoot Ali are a bit nasty too. Shonali has a bit of a mean streak; Monali is a bit potty and sweet, and as such the perfect foil for Ali.Ali (Uday Chopra) is annoying to start with, but he grows on you. The song where he woos and wins Monali is rather charming, and his loyalty to Jai is almost unquestioning.This isn't Shakespeare. There are some glaring plot holes, not the least the chase sequence through the tunnel. And yes the end is a little schmalzy... but come on... this is a popcorn film, the cast are clearly enjoying themselves, and their enthusiasm is infectious. Kick back and enjoy it on the level of what it is, fun escapist entertainment.
silvan-desouza Hrithik debuted with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and was impressive, he did some offbeat films like FIZA and MISSION KASHMIR and his acting was good Post that he did some routine stuff which were extensions of his lover boy part and he went very bad with MPKDH Koi Mil Gayaa brought him back where he gave a brilliant performance, LAKSHYA and KRISSH took him further though KRISSH was crap yet it worked so gave him a big blockbuster D:2 made me a Hrithik fan not because the film was great but because it proved that Hrithik's style quotient and cool attitude can make a film watchable.Remove Hrithik from this stupid film and u'll get Abhishek with his out of shape looks and bored expressions and copying his dad's delivery, Luckily GURU brought him back to form Uday Chopra acting like an idiot Bipasha was alright in the cop act but then came her forced twin sister act which got to the nerves What else? There was Abhi's better half Aish who was terrible and gave her worst act ever, Her Sunehri act got to my nerves and so did their love story(Hrithik and Aish)The film is plot less, the stunts are too amateurish and too stupid to even be forgiven, the romantic scenes and songs are forcedExcept the last bike chase the whole film is a jokeThe last scene also is the worst part, Makes Bunty Aur Babli a classicSanjay Gadhvi showed yet again he is a bad director yet again Music(Pritam) is good, especially DIL LAGA Cinematography is the saving graceHrithik overshadows everyone and is the saving grace of the film He is excellent though his role is too messed up changing from A thief to a foolish lover Aishwarya is horrible when she opens her mouth Abhishek is stiff and seems bored, he is laughable in the dance scenes Uday irritates, Bipasha overacts in 2nd half but is decent in 1st
Neeta (NeetaKaur) This film has a major lack of common sense and gravity. It's all gloss with gorgeous people, gorgeous locations, catchy songs, and a TERRIBLE script. It you're looking for the perfect popcorn flick, where you can just turn your brain off, this film is for you. It's basically the first film but glossier and bigger than life. As for the cast...Hrithik Roshan-If nothing else, watch the film for him. His performance was really natural, his dancing was once again AMAZING and he looks really hot. Mr.A was a pretty cool character.Aishwarya Rai-SO ANNOYING!! The worst acting I have ever seen! She was a major part in the MANY things that made this film stupid.Abhishek Bachchan-...boring...Uday Chopra-His job was to just act like a buffoon and he accomplished itBipash Basu-...I'm not exactly sure WHY she was in the film.
nagendra_pratap_singh This movie was nominated for best stunts in the TAURUS FILM STUNT AWARDS in the foreign film category. Stunts cannot get better than this. So the stunts are A grade.I have not seen the movie but just the stunts which were shown in that awards ceremony and hence I am giving this movie 10/10. The music is good and Dhoom Machale song has been a hit even in far east.I am not aware if this is common for any Indian movie. If it is common then the movie is yet another Indian movie. "Mathrabhumi" is a sad story on the sad conditions in India. "Ab tak Chappan" is good but based on crime branch of Mumbai (in case others don't know). All the movies cannot have the same theme.
