Movie Review: ‘Friends’ is a very heart warming film based on the eternal concept of friendship

January 19, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Friends-Marathi-Movie

Producer: Sanjay Kelapure, R Madhesh, Prem Vyaas & Manish Chanda
Directer: R. Madhesh
Star Cast: Swapnil Joshi, Sachit Patil & Gauri Nalawade
Genre: Drama
Verdict: GOOD

One more South Indian director R. Madhesh has joined the Marathi film arena with his latest emotionally charged Marathi film Friends.

Plot: It is the story of two best friends Swapnil Joshi & Sachit Patil and their journey of friendship facing many ups & downs during their friendly journey. It’s a nostalgic trip too, down the memory lane. It is really heart touching to see one friend sacrificing even his love for the sake of friendship that too in the present times.

Aces: The heartfelt emotional performances of the 2 fine actors Swapnil Joshi & Sachit Patil, and one or two songs based on friendship & love a la the Big B & Dharmendra starrer Sholay.

Minuses: The plot itself is highly predictable and clichéd but it is director R. Madesh’s good directorial treatment which becomes a timely saving grace.

Last Word: Friends is an entertainingly musical film for families and Gen X from all walks of life.

Censor Board reduced to a rubber stamp

January 18, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

CBFC

Rapid developments in the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) are clearly indicative of big changes to come in censorship policies. For now, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has taken direct charge of certification and is ensuring that no producer’s film is subjected to radical or even nominal cuts. Apparently disgruntled producers have now taken the Information & Broadcasting route to bypass the censor board. Many producers of films with objectionable content like Mastizaade, Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 & something called Miss Teacher which is a graphic story of a nymphomaniac teacher, have all been cleared due to the direct intervention of the Information & Broadcasting ministry, as the producers of the above films “complained” to the Information & Broadcasting ministry when the Censor Board of Film Certificate asked for cuts in the lurid & obscene content. These films were passed after the Information & Broadcasting ministry’s direct intervention. The Censor Board of Film Certificate has been told not to cut scenes or dialogues in these films. And now more & more filmmakers are running to the Information & Broadcasting ministry with complaints against Censor Board of Film Certificate’s cuts and getting them restored. The Censor Board of Film Certificate finds itself reduced to a helpless pawn. Censor Board had issued 34 cuts in Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 along with a tag of an ‘A’ certificate.

While it’s an obvious decision to issue an ‘A’ certificate to India’s 1st porn – com Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3, it isn’t surprising to see the Censor Board take a step further and issue a few more cuts besides the certification. Keeping in mind the stringent rules of the board, the censor authorities have chopped off 34 scenes from the film terming them to be vulgar or obscene for adults. Words like ‘orgasm’, a scene of a woman shaking her breasts have been deleted, the name ‘Horny Singh’ is replaced with Mickey Singh, an orgasmic scene is chopped down from 30 seconds to 8 seconds are some of the changes that audiences will witness when the film is released on the celluloid silver screen. In fact, a major portion from the song ‘Oh Boy’ has also been asked to be deleted as the censors believe that the dance steps indicate masturbation. Also, one of the popularly known films Kick which was named as Dick (a spoof used as a porn film in Kya Kool Hain Hum 3) has now been renamed to Lick. Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures & ALT Entertainment, and directed by Umesh Ghadge, Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 stars Tusshar Kapoor, Aftab Shivdasani, Mandana Karimi, Giselle Thakral amongst others. The film is slated to release on 22nd Jan, 2016.

Kamal Haasan To Join Shyam Benegal On Special Censor Committee

Earlier this month, the Information & Broadcasting Ministry had appointed a special committee headed by the filmmaker Shyam Benegal, to suggest measures to help the Censor Board members understand the nuances of film certification. The latest news on this front is that actor – filmmaker Kamal Haasan will also be joining the committee. Apparently, this addition comes after the Ministry felt that more regions of the country should be given representation on the panel, suggesting that along with Hassan, directors Shaji Karun & Gautam Ghosh should also be included on it. Once appointed the trio will join the other members of the committee that includes filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, adman Piyush Pandey & film journalist Bhawana Somayaa.

Movie Review: ‘Shashan’ is a clichéd fare

January 16, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

shasan

Producer: Shekhar Pathak
Director: Gajendra Ahire
Star Cast: Makarand Anaspure, Bharat Jadhav, Jitendra Joshi, Manava Naik, Siddharth Jadhav, Vrinda Gajendra, Aditi Bhagwat, Vikram Gokhle, Sudhir Dalvi, Nagesh Bhosle, Milind Shinde, Anjali Walsangkar, Amey Dhare, Ravindra Berde, Jayant Savarkar, Dr. Shriram Lagoo, Mohan Joshi and Kiran Karmarkar
Genre: Drama
Verdict: AVERAGE

Director Gajendra Ahire is known more for his offbeat style of filmmaking and in his latest outing Shashan he has also succeeded in creating a casting coup of sorts. So Shashan happens to be a multi starer.

Plot: Based on the backdrop of a dying factory, the film revolves around the game of politics that is being played and how everyone involves gets entangled in this game. How an upcoming young union leader uses this situation to fulfil his ambition of becoming a political bigwig is showcased in Shashan.

Aces: All the seasoned actors have left a lasting impact on screen so what if most of them have ended up appearing in miniscule roles, including the most revered actor Dr. Shreeram Lagoo. But a special mention must be made of Makarand Anaspure, Bharat Jadhav, Jitendra Joshi, Manava Naik & Aditi Bhagwat for their effortless act. That apart hats off to a debutante non – Marathi producer like Shekhar Pathak for backing this expensively off beat film.

Minuses: The screenplay is all jumbled up with randomly disconnected shots topped with too many politically oriented sub plots.

Last Word: Fans of the above mentioned stars will patronise Shashan otherwise its chances at the box office turnstiles seems bleak with as many as 5 Marathi films releasing this week.

Movie Review: ‘The Hateful Eight’ borders mainly on the scenario of mindless and meaningless violence

January 15, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

The Hateful Eight

Producers: Richard N Gladstein, Shanon Mclntosh & Stacey Sher
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Star Cast: Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demien Bichir, Tim Roth, Micheal Madsen, Bruce Dern etc
Genre: Mystery
Verdict: AVERAGE

Director Quentin Tarantino of Pulp Fiction fame does not need any special introduction. His films are mostly based on non – linear story lines, satirical subject matter and above all aesthetic nay mindless violence. So his latest film The Hateful Eight is no exception.

Plot: Set 12 years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth and his fugitive Daisy Domergue, race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter 2 strangers: Major Marquis Warren, a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix, a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. And thence begins the scenario of mindless and meaningless violence.

Aces: The powerfully riveting performance of stalwart actors Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demien Bichir, Tim Roth, Micheal Madsen and Bruce Dern. What holds you is the presentation of the film revealed in 5 varied chapters which raises your anxiety and curiosity level. This is Quentin’s 8th film and a sequel of his 7th film Django Unchained.

Minuses: Too much of gruesome blood and gore with characters being shot dead at close range in every single reel of the 5 chapters.

Last Word: Recommended only for persons who are die – hard fans of adventure and mystery, but certainly not for the weak hearted persons. Period!

Movie Review: ‘Chalk N Duster’ is an eye opener & a meaningful fare

January 15, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Chalk N Duster

Producer: Amin Surani
Director: Jayant Gilatar
Star Cast: Shabana Azmi, Juhi Chawla, Divya Dutta, Upasna Singh, Girish Karnad, Zarina Wahab, Sameer Soni, Aarya Babbar, Gavie Chahal, Naveen Sharma, Adi Irani, Rishi Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Richa Chaddha, Akshita Arora & Kabir Arora
Genre: Drama
Verdict: Good

Director Jayant Gilatar has paid a well – deserved tribute to the most neglected and almost forgotten tribe namely the TEACHERS, in his latest outing Chalk N Duster.

Plot: Chalk N Duster is all about teacher & student’s communication. It highlights the problem of teachers & students where teaching way in the education system is changing day by day. In fact the film is an emotional journey of two teachers Vidya (Shabana Azmi) and Jyoti (Juhi Chawla), serving at a Mumbai based high school. Their passion and love for teaching, bonds them in a special relationship with their students. Their gratification is good grades and moral values which they strive to impart to students. However, in an evil turn of events, a wicked lady, Kamini (Divya Dutta) gets appointed as the principal, thus changing the fate of the administration.

Aces: Seasoned actors like Shabana Azmi & Juhi Chawla’s par excellence performance. Other senior actors like Girish Karnad, Upasna Singh, Zarina Wahab, Sameer Soni,
Aarya Babbar etc also leave an impact, but it is Divya Dutta in her vampish avatar who deserves a noteworthy mention. Watch out for the nail biting climax a la Slumdog Millionare. And lastly kudos to producer Amin Surani and director Jayant Gilatar for making a meaningful film like Chalk N Duster.

Minuses: The slow space of the movie and more than one unwanted scenes and characters.

Last Word: The film will pick up in the multiplexes as well as the single theatre’s mainly by word of mouth publicity.

Movie Review: ‘The Danish Girl’ is a heart touching movie

January 15, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

The Danish Girl

Producer: Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Anne Harrison, Gail Mutrux and Tom Hooper
Director: Tom Hooper
Star Cast: Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander, Matthias Schoenaerts, Ben Whishaw, Sebastian Koch, Amber Heard etc
Genre: Drama
Verdict: VERY GOOD

Director Tom Hooper’s journey from the small screen to the big screen has been very unique as he always directed films of diversified themes. In his latest outing The Danish Girl he tackles a very sensitive real life story of the 1st ever sex change operation.

Plot: The Danish Girl is a remarkably sensitive love story inspired by the lives of artists Lili Elbe & Gerda Wegener. Lili and Gerda’s marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili’s groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer. With support from his loving wife Gerda (Alicia Vikander) & artist Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne) prepares to undergo one of the 1st ever sex – change operations.

Aces: The sterling performance of Eddie Redmayne as both artist Einar Wegener and then as a transformed Lili. He gets a good support from Alicia Vikander as Einar’s wife and Ben Whishaw who gets infatuated with Lili and above all Tom Hooper’s deft directorial treatment. One more plus point is that the Censors have been very liberal as the film does not peg itself on the hinges of titillation.

Minus: The main fault lies with the script which borders mainly on melodramatic elements and becomes saccharine.

Last Word: It’s a film made with good intentions which will appeal more to the classy & the global festival circuit audiences rather than the masses.

Ram To Be Directed By The Same Director

Nenu Sailaja has been a special film for Ram. After a long hiatus, Ram got a clear Box Office hit with this film. Therefore, it is natural that Kishore Tirumala is in the good books of Ram.

Movie Review: ‘Chhota Bheem Himalayan Adventure’ is a delightful fare for kids as well as grownups

January 9, 2016 by Shaheen Raaj

Chhota Bheem Himalayan Adventure

Producer: Sameer Jain
Director: Rajiv Chhilaka
Genre: Adventure
Verdict: GOOD

Director Rajiv Chhilaka is the creator of the animated character Chhota Bheem and in this individual series he has already come up with two movies namely Chhota Bheem And The Curse of Damayan (2012) & Chhota Bheem And The Throne Of Bali (2013) and now Chhota Bheem Himalayan Advanture.

Plot: Chhota Bheem stays in Dholakpur and one day he and his friends decide to go to Manali to play in the snow capped mountains. Over here Dhiru’s uncle teaches them skiing. On the other hand the Himalayan region’s king and his subjects are terrorised by a local dacoit Hidimbak. To get rid of this menace Chhota Bheem and his small coterie of skiing warriors decide to get rid of this menace forever.

Aces: The plus point of Chhota Bheem Himalayan Adventure is its Indianness with its simple conventional story. It’s thrilling and adventurous. Even the animation quality is far superior. The directorial treatment of Rajiv Chhilaka deserves a special mention.
