Heroine finalized for Chiranjeevi’s 150th Film

While Chiranjeevi’s 150th film is likely to be launched officially in the 3rd week of Apr, 2016 it’s learnt that Nayanatara has been finalized to play the female lead. The 1st name that did the rounds earlier was Nayanatara’s. It was said that the fee quoted by the damsel is astronomical and so, the makers ruled her out. However, latest updates reveal that the supposedly high remuneration is a non -issue for the makers. After all, this one will be a mega – budgeted film and Chiru being a veteran who is almost 60 years old, there are not many star heroines who can match his stupendous mega glamour. Nayanatara must have been a default choice. A remake of Vijay -starrer Kaththi, this film has a message built into the story.

Speaking media to Smita averred that she wanted to do an exciting concept. Right from Deva Katta, cinematographer Sameer, music director Acchu, everyone helped her do the song.

Movie Review: ‘Heist’ is an impressively enjoyable film for one and all

March 22, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Bus 657

Producer: Randall Emmett, George Furla, Wayne Marc Godfrey, Alexander Tabrizi & Stephen Cyrus Sepher
Director: Scott Mann
Star Cast: Robert De Niro, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Kate Bossworth, Morris Chestnut, Dave Bautista, Gina Carano, Mark – Paul Gosselaar, D. B. Sweeny, Tyson Sullivan
Genre: Action & Adventure
Verdict: GOOD

Plot: When their attempt to rob a casino owned by the feared gangster Pope (Robert De Niro) goes awry and a shootout ensues, Vaughn (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) & Cox (Dave Bautista) are forced to flee on foot & hijack city Bus 657 and take the passengers hostage. Now, in a high speed chase, Vaughn will not only have to outwit the police, led by Officer Bajos (Gina Carano) who are in hot pursuit, but he will have to contend with Pope’s maniacal right hand man, Dog (Morris Chestnut), in order to make it through the day alive.

Aces: The only redeeming factor of this not so suspenseful joy ride in Bus 657 is the natural & restrained performance of Robert De Nero, Jeffery Dean Morgan & Dave Bautista. while the rest of the cast just fill the bill in carrying the film forward.

Minuses: There are lots of loopholes & gaps in the film which are distractive.

Last Word: Actually speaking Heist – Bus 657 can be recommended at least for a one time watch.

Movie Review: ‘Miss Teacher’ is a bold attempt and will be definitely liked by Gen X

March 21, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Producer: Sanjay Singh Singh Rajput & Rajesh Shukla
Director: Jay Prakkash
Star Cast: Rahul Sharma, Resham Thakkar, Parag Pondal, Priyanshu Singh, Randhir Singh Adi Irani & Komalika Chanda.
Genre: Psychological Drama
Verdict: AVERAGE

Plot: Tanvesh (Rahul Sharma) & Sehar (Rashmi Thakkar) are childhood friends and now in college their love blossoms. But very soon their joyous happiness comes to an end with the arrival of a new teacher Miss. Rose (Komalika Chanda) in the college. Rose in reality is suffering from a sexual disorder and after being left by her husband, she becomes a complete nymphomaniac after trying her hand at Lesbianism and then she starts seducing young college boys. And her latest victim is Tanvesh. When Tanvesh realises his mistake he tries to escape from her clutches. While Rose gets so frustrated on being rejected that she starts hooking up with a courier boy, a pizza delivery boy, a pot belied watchman and so on & so forth.

Aces: The bold subject of the film which is new to Hindi Cinema including the phone sex angle. Director Jay Prakkash has done a good job by bringing to light the ordeals of a nymphomaniac lady and the impact it has on society, especially Gen X. Komalalika Chanda has given a par excellence performance as a nymphomaniac lady. Amongst the rest of the cast Rahul Sharma stands out by giving delivering a restrained act. The other actors too have given a good account of themselves.

Minuses: Although there are a good number of steamy & sexually stimulating scenes, a lack of proper musical score & entertainment value may hamper the film.

Last Word: All in all Miss. Teacher is a youth centric film but it will be liked by the other age group too. So in the long run and with ample word of mouth publicity Miss. Teacher may do a real good business.

Movie Review: ‘Ek Yodha Shoorveer’, even in its dubbed, is literally like spectacular visual treat for cine goers

March 18, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Ek Yodha Shoorveer

Producer: Muvoz Creation & Glamour Still Presents
Director: Santosh Sivan
Star Cast: Prithviraj, Prabhu Dheva, Arya, Genelia D’Souza, Nithya Menon, Tabu, Amol Gupte, Alexx O Neal & Vidya Balan

Kelu (Prithviraj) wants to avenge his father’s death. His father is murdered by the famous Portuguese explorer Vasco Da Gama. His personal fight transforms into a war against the Portuguese conquest of India. Ek Yodha Shoorveer is a simple story about unsung heroes who have got lost in the pages of our history books.

Santosh Sivan’s direction is flawlessly picture perfect and adding to the bonanza is the entire seasoned actor’s towering performance, barring Tabu of course, as she has been grossly wasted in one inane dance sequence. Besides the lush filled greenery of Kerala landscape is a visual treat to the eyes for which full credit goes to its cinematographer.

Incidentally speaking Ek Yodha Shoorveer is a dubbed version of Santosh Sivan’s earlier Malyalam superhit film named Urumi. But being dubbed in Hindi has lost just a little bit of its charm as its Hindi dubbing is not as picture perfect as Santosh Sivan’s directorial skills.

Tail Piece: The dubbed version may have a restricted appeal but the overall word of mouth publicity may work wonders for Ek Yodha Shoorveer.

Movie Review: ‘Dirty Boss’ is like an old wine in a new bottle type of comic caper

March 16, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Dirty Boss

Producer: DJ Kanwaljeet
Director: Kesar Matharu
Star Cast: Raju Kher, Jasleen Matharu, Geetu Gambhir, Kalyani Thakkar, Kesar Matharu, Pinky More, Mushtaq Khan, Shahzad & Anil Nagrath

Actor director Kesar Matharu in his latest offering Dirty Boss has made a sequel to his earlier prequel movie namely Dirty Relations

Bhundi (Raju Kher) is a wealthy businessman who gests lured to the showbiz world due to his hidden lusty desires for an actress named Diana (Jasleen Matharu). A film director named Chaluji (Kesar Matharu) then contacts Bhundi and invites him to the sets of his film and introduces him to his heroine Diana and instantly Bhundi decides to produce a film. On hearing this Bhundi’s wife Satti (Kalyani Thakker) & her father tries to put some sense in him but to no avail. Satti then comes on the sets, and a big fight ensues between Satti & Diana. On the other hand Bhundi is such a lecherous man that he also has an affair with his maid servant Sandhya (Geetu Gambhir).

Dirty Boss is an eye opener for those people who are lured by the glamour of the film industry and then how they are taken for a joyride by a chosen few of the industry people who thrive on such suckers. Direction wise a little more control on the goings on was required and the same can be said about the performance of the actors.

The scenario of Dirty Boss could have been a little more taut. But the aam janta will definitely enjoy its double entendre dialogues which will certainly leave them in splits.

Tail Piece: Director Kesar Matharu’s earlier film Dirty Relations also treaded on similar grounds and now same is the case with his franchise Dirty Boss.

Movie Review: ‘Tera Suroor’ is a typical run of the mill fare

March 16, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Tera Suroor

Producer: Vipin Reshamiya & Sonia Kapoor
Director: Shawn Aranha
Star Cast: Himesh Reshamiya, Farah Kaimaee, Shekhar Kapoor, Naseeruddin Shah, Monica Dogra, Kabir Bedi, Shernaaz Patel, Sunil Dutt etc

Director Shawn Aranha in his latest directorial offering Tera Saroor has concentrated more on enjoying the locales of Ireland rather than focusing on any other aspects of the film and the result has been not so encouraging.

Tara Wadia (debutante Farah Karimaee), a singer and girlfriend of a gangster Raghu (Himesh Reshamiya) lives with her mother (Shernaz Patel). After having a little lovers tiff with Raghu she goes off to to Dublin to take part in a singing concert, but on her way to the venue she gets detained after being caught with packets of Drugs in a book cover. Tara then frantically calls Raghu for help and then Raghu too decides to help her and find Anirudh Brahman (Sunil Dutt), who had initially framed her to take his revenge. He was the same stranger who had earlier met Tara on Facebook and had also invited her to Ireland.

The directorial treatment of director Shawn Aranha has played the spoil sport in the entire movie. Yet the mainstay of Tera Saroor is of course the musical score topped with the breath taking locales of Ireland.

As for the performances of the entire cast the less said the better.

9 years ago Himesh Reshamiya had come up with Aap Ka Saroor, the prequel which was quite entertaining but now in Tera Saroor, the sequel which is no doubt packed with all the commercial masala oriented ingredients but yet you feel as if something is still missing as you walk out of the darkened auditorium.

Tail Piece: Tera Suroor is strictly recommended for its locales, styling & costumes, topped with its hummable songs and action sequences galore, but not necessarily in that order.

Rocky Handsome will prove to be a milestone of our musical career: Sunny Bawra & Inder Bawra

March 16, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Rocky Handsome

The latest music composer jodi to create ripples of waves on Bollywood’s musical horizon are Sunny Bawra and Inder Bawra. The music of their, just around the corner release, is John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome. The “Rehnuma” song of Rocky Handsome has already proved to be a chartbursting hit record in the entire musical arena.

How and from where did your musical journey begun?

We begun our musical journey with the small screen’s devotionally oriented mythological serials like Dwarkadheesh – Bhagwaan Shree Krishna, Siya Ke Ram, Meera, Devon Ke Dev……. Mahadev and many more. We do not hail from a typical musical family but our forefathers were indeed non – filmi singers in their own right so both of us decided to carry forward this musical journey on our own.

Please continue!

We landed in Bombay nay Mumbai, the 1st & foremost thing we did was to adjust and familiarise ourselves with Bollywood’s music and the people around here. Then begun our long and arduous struggling phase and finally we landed in the Sagar camp, who are known to encourage new music composers too. And then onwards began our small screen innings as mentioned above.

And then how did the big screen began?

From the small screen Sagar camp we landed up in the big screen Bhatt camp. I think they really liked our small screen’s over all music. So we ended up composing music for two of their hit films namely Hate Story 2 and Hate Story 3. The music of both Hate Story 2 and Hate Story 3 was really appreciated by one and all including the rave reviews by music hardcore music critics too.

What are the highlights of the music of Rocky Handsome and how did you bag this prestigious assignment of your career?

First of all we are very lucky to have bagged this prestigious assignment of Rocky Handsome, a film from John Abraham’s home production banner namely JA Entertainment. The main highlight of Rocky Handsome is one of the song composed by us namely “Rahnuma” which has already hit the music circles with a million hit on YouTube channel. We have other songs too in Rocky Handsome, but we can’t reveal anything more about it unless they are officially released. But we are 100% sure that Rocky Handsome will definitely prove to be milestone in our musical career.

What do you think about today’s deafningly cacophonic especially the rock and the rap kind of music? Don’t you think that melody is seriously missing?

Yes! You are right. Melody is seriously missing in today’s music and as for your other point this are just the varied music which are like changing seasons which comes and passes away. And the music lovers taste too, changes like every turn of the season. That’s it.

Bollywood has seen many hit musical jodis like Shankar – Jaikishan, Kalyanji – Anandji, Lakshmikant – Pyarelal, Sapan – Jagmohan, Jatin – Lalit, Nadeem – Shravan etc. So do you think the Sunny Bawra – Inder Bawra jodi will also succeed in carving a niche for themselves?

First of all let us clarify one thing that we are not friends or partners but in fact real blood brothers. I think we are very near to carving a niche for ourselves. We don’t know if we will be able to succeed and become one more hit jodi of Bollywood or not like all the superhit musical jodis mentioned above. They are all legendary music composers. We have miles and miles to traverse on the musical road to attain their kind of success. But once again we would like to stress that come whatever may Sunny Bawra and Inder Bawra are here to stay. And if have to became one more hit pair of music directors like the others we might as well drop the Bawra, even otherwise we are not related to the legendary lyricist Gulshan Bawra, and become one more hit jodi of Sunny – Inder. What say! Anyways we are Just kidding!

Movie Review: ‘Phuntroo’ is quite an interesting science fiction oriented love story

March 12, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Phuntroo

Producer: Producer: Vandana Thakur and Ajay Thakur Producer: Vandana Thakur and Ajay Thakur
Director: Sujay Dahake
Star Cast: Madan Deaodhar, Ketaki Mategaonkar, Shivraj Vaichal,
Shivani Rangole, Ruturaj Shinde, Anshuman, Rohit Nikam etc
Genre: Sci – fi & Romance
Verdict: GOOD

Plot: Vira (Madan Deodhar) is a brilliant young engineering student who stumbles upon a peculiar gadget designed by one of his professors. A competition titled ‘Gadget Day’ has the students competing for the best new gadget and everybody is coming up with schemes on how to win. Anaya (Ketaki Mategaonkar) is the college’s secretary and a gifted student who catches Vira’s eye. He falls in love with her, but alas it’s unrequited. He goes on to develop the gadget he found and creates an Artificial Intelligence entity, a figure that resembles both in physical form and voice, his one true love, Anaya. Chaos ensues when he tries to hide it from his friends.

Aces: Director Sujay Dahake has made a very gripping science fiction thriller in which the younger generation of actors have put their best foot forward in their individual characters assigned to them and the best of the lot is of course the lead pair of Madan Deodhar & Ketaki Mategaonkar.

Minuses: Phuntroo is a love story based on a backdrop of a science fiction thriller which is quite new and perhaps unacceptable to the stereotyped Marathi audiences who are still fond of their staple diet of lavani’s and tamashas.

Last Word: Yet all said & done the multiplexes’ city audiences are definitely going to like this daringly different movie.

Movie Review: ‘Anuraag’ is emotionally very engaging

March 12, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Anuraag

Producer: Dr. Aparna Darak & RRP Corporations Pvt Ltd
Director: Dr. Ambarish Darak
Star Cast: Mrunmayee Deshpande and Dharmendra Gohil
Genre: Drama
Verdict: GOOD

Plot: Rishabh (Dharmendra Gohil), a successful businessman, has married Saumya (Mrunmayee Deshpande) after the death of his 1st wife and has a daughter from the 1st marriage. Saumya used to be his secretary and slipped into the new role comfortably. The 1st setback was the difficulties during her pregnancy, and the relationship spiralled downwards from that point. All this forms a part of the back-story glimpsed through some key flashback sequences. A majority of the film happens during their Leh visit, a last ditch effort to save the marriage, with a possibility for things to go either way.

Plot: Rishabh (Dharmendra Gohil), a successful businessman, has married Saumya (Mrunmayee Deshpande) after the death of his 1st wife and has a daughter from the 1st marriage. Saumya used to be his secretary and slipped into the new role comfortably. The 1st setback was the difficulties during her pregnancy, and the relationship spiralled downwards from that point. All this forms a part of the back-story glimpsed through some key flashback sequences. A majority of the film happens during their Leh visit, a last ditch effort to save the marriage, with a possibility for things to go either way.

Aces: The film is emotionally very engaging in fact director Dr. Ambarish Darak has made an extremely sensitive film on marital relationship which sometimes end up in marital discord and then the characters more often than not try reliving their happier moments through their memories.

Minuses: The film though inspired by Hollywood director Richard Linklater’s film Before Twilight lacks conviction in over all presentation. The fault lies mainly in its screen writing part.

Last Word: On the whole Anuraag reflects more of a serious kind of cinema and may appeal to the elite multiplex and fest circuit audiences, but it is hardly a common man’s cup of tea.
