Agneepath

Over-rated and over hyped. Absolutely average. However some experienced actors have done fab job out there :)

Pluses:

• Watch it out for Sanjay Dutt. He definately lives up to the expectations around his ugly and negative character.
• Dont miss Rishi Kapoor. He is one actor who can fit in any kind of role so perfectly. You will love him as well as hate him in the same flick.
• Hrithik Roshan. He did a good job, although he didnt have anythin new to offer in this script, given his potential and talent to perform.
• Presentation was brilliant. Beginning few vital scenes were shot really well technically. Heart rendering.
• Chikni Chameli had her own flavor :)
• Release date of the movie worked to its favor. 3 weeks just one release.

Minuses:

• Priyanka Chopra absolutely wasted. I have no idea, why she even agreed to sign on this project. A female lead's character was absolutely ignored in the script. Better they chopped the entire role itself.
• Same old cliche dialogues. Very filmy. Doesnt touch you at all.
• Action scenes were very dramatic, didnt catch any attention.
• They could have changed the concluding section of the movie to better suit people's interest. I rather required a Digine to digest the end.
• Music is very very 'kaam chalau'. Except for one song.

My Rating: 2.5/5

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

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Amazing flick. Absolute entertaintment.

Pluses:

• Hats off Tom Cruise. Mannn, he is one evergreen personality.
• The USP of the movie were: Action, Technology and Humor. I loved the way they have woven the humour in a hard core action flick.
• Very very gripping storyline and breathtaking shots.
• Movie is very fast paced, it never slows down.
• Simon Pegg as 'Benji', Jeremy Renner as 'Brandt' and Paula Patton as 'Jane' were at their best.

Minuses:

Goes without saying, Anil Kapoor.Horrendous presentation.

My Rating: 4/5

Ladies vs Ricky Bahl

Entertaining. Gripping. Time pass :)

Pluses:

• Ranbir Singh did it again :) Cheers to him and this time with an amazing physique as well :)
• Anushka Sharma was good.
• It has so much flavor from 'Band Baaja Baraat'. You just cant stop recalling and comparing.
• Story was pretty gripping, you dont get bored even for a second.
• The three ladies viz. Parineeta Chopra, Aditi Sharma and Dippanita Sharma did awesome jobs. My personal fav being the character played by Parineeta as 'Dimple' :) I wonder how many more Sharma's are a part of the entire project :P
• Such movies, once unfolded aint much of a charm watching the second time. Somehow this one wont disappoint you watching the second time either. Thanks to the dialogue deliveries. :)

Minuses:

• Script had many eyebrow raising flaws. When you work on a plot like this, one needs to be extra careful in scripting it.
• Music was a let down, except for the Title number.
• I personally didnt like the ending. Wasnt required to force in happy ending.

My Rating: 3/5

The Dirty Picture

A very bold film undoubtedly. Wont dissapoint you from what u expected.

Pluses:

• Hats off to Mr. Naseeruddin Shah.He is one veteran actor we will cherish for long.
• Vidya Balan did all justice to what the role demanded.
• Emraan Hashmi for the first time ever earned a lot of respect with this role and his performance. :D
• Kudos to Ekta Kapoor for making a movie so bold and even getting it passed through the censor board.
• Statement making dialogues. Soul of the movie.
• The frustration of a star is portrayed much better in this movie as cudnt be done by "Imitiaz" for 'Rockstar'
• This movie gets your thought process running. Long time having watched somethin stirring like this one.

Minuses:

• Tusshar Kapoor is a waste. He ruined half an hour post interval period.
• Few songs were literally forced in the movie. Just wasnt required.

My Rating: 3.5/5
