Players



Concept of 'Italian Job', however made in absolute Abbas Mustan style. Just about a time pass flick.

Pluses:
  • Lots of action in the movie. It never slows down.
  • Bipasha was extra ordinarily hot. Watch it for her guys. I like when people break up :) You can see the effect ;)
  • Neil Nitin Mukesh, he bagged a good role and played it well. :) It suits him. :)
  • Hell lot of twists and turns, as you would expect from a Abbas Mustan make :)
  • Support coming from Sikander Kher and Omi Vaidya were at their regular themselves

Minuses:
  • B Grade acting from Sonam Kapoor and Vinod Khanna
  • Abhishekh Bachchan was just about ok, no crowns. The same goes for Bobby Deol.
  • If u can withstand the movie for first 1 hour, you will survive the rest. Absolute bull shit.
  • Script was written extraordinarily long. 3 hours flick...wow!! :)
  • Music was such a let down by Pritam. None of the songs made any mark.
  • At one point of time, you really get bugged by the many twists it brings on you at the climax, that of which is also sort of predictable.

My Rating: 2/5

Sherlock Holmes- A game of shadows



Brilliantly made, beautiful flick. A must watch.

Pluses:
  • Nothing can beat Robert Downey Jr. Amazing portraiture of a mastermind spy.
  • Jude Law was the perfect shadow companion.
  • Beautiful portrayal of the relationship between the two leads.
  • The story and the presentation was very aptly built. You are always at the edge.
  • The touch of humor that Robert Downey Jr can give, cannot be beaten.
  • Very good English, as everyone would expect.
  • Cinematography did absolute justice.

Minuses:

Notably nothing.


My Rating: 4/5

Don 2



Very average flick. Expected a lot more from Farhan Akhtar.

Pluses:
  • Liked the initial look of SRK in long untidy hairs.They however should have continued the rest of the movie with the same look.
  • Oozing style quotient in anything and everything.
  • Boman Irani was at his best. Love him :)
  • Kunal Kapoor did a decent job.
  • Loved the special appearance of Hrithik :)
  • Plot was good as well, could have presented better.

Minuses:
  • Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta absolutely wasted.
  • Action was a let down. Same old downtrodden stuffs.
  • Chemistry between SRK and Priyanka was intolerable.
  • The pace of the movie is a bit slow, reduces down the content.
  • Music was next to nil. Let down from Shankar Ehsaan Loy

My Rating: 2.5/5
