Talaash [ 2012 ]

Suspicious and subtlety Sentimental !

         


' Talaash '  is Bollywood thriller shot by flair under the direction of Ms. Reema Kagti casting the power trio Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee. Rather than taking all the names its just Aamir who delivers his films building it to be genuine and compelling. U. Mohanan, the cinematographer gives a Mumbai-noir moodiness beaming it in emotional verisimilitude. Ram Sampath, music composer, does the trick here to safekeep the people in line by his soundtracks, protecting the atomsphere of the plot preserving it to be drenched thoroughly. Ms. Kagti shooted some scenes taking the help of camera and visual tricks making Aamir look more stunning ( tall though ).


The story line is unfortunately very simple to understand, a car at night in Worli area loses its control ( driver ) collides on the foot-path and splashes into the sea apparently killing the driver who ends to be a famous actor ( last name, Kapoor, of course ). The case seemingly lands into the hands of Inspector Shekhawat ( Aamir Khan ), dealing with cloudy hustlers, a fascinating hooker ( Kareena Kapoor ), staggering mawaali Timur ( Nawazuddin Siddiqui) who repels your sympathy and a depressed wife ( Rani Mukherjee ). The former after her post disgusting distasted ' Aiyaa ' shakes her butt off here, appears in void makeup. Talaash is a film where the lead hero has to fight with his inner demons too solving the puzzled case. Some scenes are shot in red-light areas gaining the film to get more spectators to watch. Kareena being the red-light girl sways anticipating her role. She is a Sex-Bomb as never before.

Farhan Akhtar ( producer and the director of the generation-shifting hit Dil Chahta Hai ) has already worked with Mr. Khan in DCH, makes it again. Anurag Kashyap and Zoya Akhtar ( the writer department ) choose a mind boggling and imposing story and Kagti captures every little moment of it unlike anyone in the B- Town. There are few crude, dilapidated scenes, one of which is the scene where the actors can't bring to terms each other making their hazy souls to the make up and embrace each other.  As showcased in the trailers the film is not so catchy and intelligent and holds a mere corny twist.


The climax is good and holds a stereotypical finale however the film is fairly gripping. It's very much a Hindi film, but amended and expressed in a view and style. But if you are looking for an Action-packed film then this is not a movie to be watched.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan [ 2012 ]

The big fiasco ends dull at BO

        


The most awaited movie to be watched in Diwali ' Jab Tak Hai Jaan ', though apocryphal & phenomenal Yash Chopra's last flick, this wasn't the DDLJ formula. The cinema thought to make more at BO will bang the former with its insignificancy and sluggish plot writing. Shahrukh Khan ( Samar ) charming as ever still sadly wasn't exciting as any Italian food dish and tasted as some pokey dish.

Why did the unexcelled formula established in DDLJ probably go rotten ? It possibly won't as long as it collect in hundreds of crores rupees. Anushka Sharma ( Akira ) depicting herself in the film is been deserted by the scenes and Katrina Kaif ( Meera ) is been lined up for no reason. A.R. Rahman, the man who would sail the ship towards victory sadly failed to do it this time. The song Challa projected again and again to keep the audience away from the flaws that the film does have, withholding the audience going blank at times.

The film packed with challenging lower IQ characters who hold the London police look so stupid ( as they aren't ) is just filled with star power and nothing else, except the fact that Shahrukh doesn't has aimless pranks and gags in the flick.

Anushka is so amusing, she goes with her ' New youth of India ' were she just intends to sleep encompassing and pile them in rubbish making a Chutiya out of it ! She opens her arena is funny enough to make unitentional laughs in the flick as long as the entry goes. Hot but still foolish elaborates a scene that initializes from her bums and then grooving the camera upto her breasts giving a side look which unfortunately ends giving a dive in the Ladakh lakes where the water is cold enough screening it screamingly.

' Devika Bhagat ' gets the screenplay at grief and just drums the audience mind with her collapsed writings. Katrina casts like Diana Penty in Cocktail and falling in love with the protagonist after bringing her to a night club where she starts doing her fucking favela dance which was a mere failure. Shahrukh goes on diffusing bombs, one of his bombs explodes on our face, being a religious discord having breaking up for the sake of promise she had to Jesus Christ.

Yes ! The most interesting was that the bedroom scene were Shahrukh has his unshaved toes mingling with Katrina's manicured one. SRK for the first time Onscreen kisses the reel counterpart that too doesn't help the movie make enough. Neither lame but the sad sex scene, thus unromantic making it look dull.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan disappoints with its unconditional story and Adi for the first time makes his cinema as flat as he could. Ignore this film as it has only the glamour, lacks the major unconvincing materials in the film. The T.V soap commercial ( LUX ) promotes the film where Kat looks like goody Snow White in her fab dress, though this won't make the film fill its inconsistencies.

Save your money for Dabangg 2 or Talaash in the upcoming month which will prove more worthy than this. Khiladi 786 is a scary film for your pocket though seeing the script has been written by Himesh Reshamiya since. Lets wait for the Big Clash next month.

The Verdict :

SKYFALL : Inconsistencies, Potholes and Theories

As a spoof of James Bond's code ( 007 ), the Skyfall gunbarrel or the Bond theme walked out at 00.07 time permit.

After the shot takes off to a side glance we see the two clip - on earrings ( The one seen from behind is the in - ear communication device ).

Cars are facilated for the driving the digger over them, are never packed this close  ( side - by - side ), and usually are packed from end - to - end clubbing the other passing objects, letting it suspended to the vehicle.

The shot in the bar where Bond is watching television with a bottle of drink in his hands which is 80 % full whatsoever, then pours some of it in the glass and instantly in the next shot the bottle is in general it is 20 % full ( Bond continues watching TV ).

The 5 most anticipating movies [ 2013 ]

5. A Good Day to Die Hard :

                         
                          

The 1988 legacy continues further on as John McClane ( Bruce Willis ) travels to Russia to ascertain that his offspring, and band up with. John Moore, Director of Max Payne, as usual goes for a hyperkinetic action film demonstrating the underworld bustle. This is a film for which everyone must look forward too. Bruce Willis though decrepit shows his charm in the Trailers. 


4. Man of Steel :

After his awfully flop ' The Cold Light of Day ' released this year, ' Man of Steel ' is a movie which Henry Cavill should foremost at. The plot is the same as every Superman movie has but one thing to look at is Chris Nolan, David Goyer, the writers of Batman Trilogy, are the credits here. The movie for sure will be counted on Nolan-Goyer writings abide. The Trailer looks fascinating and awe-inspiring.

3. Stoker :

                         

The Director Chan-wook Park { Oldboy ( 2003 ), Thirst ( 2009 ), Lady Vengeance ( 2005 ) and this time ' Stoker ', is a man who makes just one film a year. His works are spic and span and as clean as a whistle. Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode are the focal point of the cine. Though less buildup it is still in the run to chase for.

2. The Lone Ranger :

                          

The twosome Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp after their over whelming win in Pirates Sequels and Rango, they both are again set together too stagger the screens the forthcoming year. Depp playing as Tonto, man of law turned to a combatant, is the protagonist in the movie. The movie will be a typical western, cowboy-cut movie with Armie Hammer as The Lone Ranger. Let's see what do these twosomes do again heading up ?


1. The 4th Reich :

                                            

This is a film to go for in 2013 where Sean Bean, GoldenEye ( 1995 ) is the lead protagonist as a Sergeant. The film is based on a abhorrent massacre war though victorious in Western Europe that would assert lot of hearts. A band of Nazi scientists stinked to generate a more exclusive and dandy race but each advanced experiment concludes with freaky, mysterious and aversion dread changing the face of mankind where the true Monstrosity begins !

Javier Bardem
Naomie Harris
Judi Dench
Helen McCrory


Genre :

Action / Thriller / Crime


The Opening Statement :

This is the 23rd Bond Film which has been directed by Sam Mendes ( American Beauty ) who wipes all the previous bond films to date. Neel Purvis just conflagrates through the hyperkinetic plot for 140 minutes.  Skyfall is a perky, keen and super fast paced meal of cinema ( in a good way ). Daniel Craig is the most multifaceted and most likable Bond of his generation. ' Skyfall ' is the most awaited film of 2012 produced by Barbara Broccoli.

Budget : $ 200,000,000 ( Estimated )

The Case : 

( Spoiler Alert ! )

Actually there is no mark in explaining the casing, because it will suck away all the fun from the cine. Rambling fans of the first two movies expecting convivial mythology in the Bond Universe will not let down. The film set is in Istaanbul and narrates a new score this time. This time Bond ( Daniel Craig ) is on a mission at Istaanbul where M's ( Judi Dench ) to niche her. Raoul Silva ( Javier Bardem ) is the knavery aspect of this film. Bond here as usual is loyal, ambitious, avid and zealous.

Raoul Silva, the former MI6 agent, confess that he was betrayed and abrupted by M. Too she leaves him to be tormented and lets him go behind the bars. M apparently gave him up because she thought that the things done by Silva were too critical and formidable.

Eve ( Naomie Harris ) , MI6 agent, handles her tasks at her level best. The first scene is where Bond is on a mission to find his MI6 mate Ronson in Istaanbul, where he has a tough chase with a pro hitman Patrice (Ola Rapace ) The scene just blurly reminds the Casino Royale Embassy Chase.

Silva gets arrested by Q ( Ben Whishaw ) , the Quartermaster, when Bond calls on the Royal Navy for support in order to arrest the former. M at the quarters accosts Silva about his attacks and plans but Silva restrains from telling her and  escapes of when Q tries to access Silva's computer thus freeing him. Bond though chases him but Silva disguises as a police officer and makes his way. Q just in time impels him over CCTV images and Bond chases him. At last Bond branches Silva but Silva explodes a bomb fulminately thus escaping from Bond's hands. He then along with some of his ally, all dressed in police uniforms, heads to kill M at MP's meeting. Bond arrives just in time to save M and drives her off alone to safety. He switches on to his old Aston Martin DB5 with all his widgets and gimmicks working, which meets Mallory ( Ralph Fiennes ) approval.

Bond and M travels to Scotland to the Bond family estate ' Skyfall '. Silva lays an array of booby traps were Bond's loyalty to M is testened. M though gets off through a secret tunnel but Silva hard knocking waves of henchmens injuring M. M collapses to her bullet wound and dies on the spot. Bond kills Silva with a knife throwing him at his back. Mallory becomes the new M at the end.


Conclusion: 

SKYFALL is a hell of a bang. Believe the advertising buildup, Javier is the ' Joker ' of the Bond franchise.


' Must watch this fucking bit of cinema ! '
