Chennai Express Review: Chen-nahin!


Chennai Express is, in a way, full circle for that very lady as she — enervated by box-office success and increasingly self-aware as an actress — holds up her end of the film far better, and more consistently than her leading man. She makes an effort; he makes faces. And he’s never seemed more at sea.

Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express is a curious beast, a film it seemed would lampoon the South Indian blockbuster — those films we claim are cheesier and sillier than our own (and then remake with much fanfare) — but happens to be, in fact, the diametric opposite. This is, in many ways, a full-throated tribute, a Sun TV Strikes Back statement of a film, where a typically cliched example of Southern style masala chugs along normally (and unironically) but is disrupted by a Bollywood actor who has no business there. Khan’s Rahul plays the freak while the locals around him look at him dazed, befuddled by his buffoonery.

All the other actors in this enterprise, despite their one-note roles, conform to the universe of this film, to its reality, but Khan’s having nothing of it. He performs in an inexplicably bizarre pitch, as if the filmmakers (and himself, the producer) decided that he should play it like a rejected 40s cartoon, like Daffy Duck gone awry. Khan yelps and squeaks and shrieks and bares fangs and pouts and, well, exhausts himself overcompensating at every step, despite nobody else in the film following this template so inanely animated it’d make Jim Carrey think twice. A looney out of tune, then.

It’s a shame because Chennai Express is built on a simple enough bit of fluff, something that would truly have sparkled brightly in the hands of, say, an Imtiaz Ali, but something that would itself have been inherently more entertaining had Khan not been intent on looking an imbecile. In sum: Rahul, entrusted with his grandfather’s ashes to be immersed down south, decides instead to hotfoot it to Goa and party with friends who have “arranged” NRI girls. He gets on to a train to throw his sweet, unsuspecting grandmother off his scent, and it is here he runs into Padukone’s Meena, a pretty girl with an accent thicker than Mehmood. She’s being kidnapped, he tries to speak up, and they’re both frogmarched down to her village where her gangster father is told that our hero is her daughter’s suitor. There, see? Simple, fun and the ensuing hijinks pretty much write themselves. Even with a few too many airborne jeeps, this could have been a daftly enjoyable lark. (But alas, we underestimate the power of a common Khan.)

Padukone, as said, pulls off her bit with panache. So confident is she that even her outlandish accent seems normal after a bit, and she commits to the role most enthusiastically. I’d comment on her comic timing if this film had any well-written gags, but by herself (and especially in comparison to her hero here) Padukone is a delight. She’s visibly having a blast and her glee is infectious. She delivers a Bachchan line with elan, and is particularly awesome in a scene where — in a nod to the southern horror cliche — she’s casually possessed by a ghost. This may not be the most demanding of roles, but the actress revels in the madness around her and shines through like a bonafide star.

The first half of the film, with Khan monkeying about unfettered, is relentlessly awful. (Somebody confiscate his Steve McQueen t-shirt.) It is also ear-splittingly loud, with everyone seemingly yelling and the background score choosing not to background itself very much after all. The writing is bad enough to make a Priyadarshan film look subtle. In the second half, things get less asinine — this is directly in proportion to Khan shutting up for a stretch — but then the film takes turns rolling through many a overused filmi cliche without ever managing to spoof them. Shah Rukh goes from being Daffy Duck to Ram Jaane, suddenly all melodramatic and quivery-voiced and so damned earnest that his character forgets that he doesn’t know a word of Tamil, climactically rattling off complicated lines in the language.

There is one genuinely clever moment in the film. It is the one bit of self-referencing that works, when Shah Rukh — with the Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge music playing — stretches out his arm and yanks Deepika onto a moving train, before doing the same, complete with music, for each of the gigantic kidnappers chasing her. Super. For the rest of the film, Rohit Shetty made me feel more like a lovelorn Kajol than anybody should, and it had nothing to do with Simran: but damn, I missed Ajay Devgn.

Scariest English films of all time

The Conjuring

The Conjuring racking up phenomenal reviews around the world, we decided to ask you, dear reader, which English horror film scared you the most and the results are gratifyingly diverse.
Your list contains everything from classics to current scares, from gore to genre-defying greatness.
Here, then, in descending order, are your ten scariest films of all time:

exorcist 

William Friedkin’s 1973 classic is perhaps the most popular film about possession and exorcism in all of cinema, and the film — starring a young Ellen Burstyn as the possessed and Max von Sydow as the exorcist — remains chilling.

 The Ring
The Ring, based on Japanese horror film Ringu, created a worldwide scare in 2002. The film was about a cursed videotape that would cause the viewer to die in seven days.
The American remake, by Gore Verbinski, was effective enough but purists swear on the original Ringu

 Evil Dead 
Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead had a group of youngsters holidaying in a cabin and finding an audiotape that leads to demons and gore.
Wildly original, often funny and devastatingly gory, this low-budget cult classic changed and revitalised the horror genre when it released back in 1981

RIPD (3D)-Movie Review

RATING- 3 STAR

Director: Robert Schwentke

Cast: Jeff Bridges, Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stephanie Szostak, James Hong and Marissa Miller


What do you get when you mix MIB (Men in Black) with Steam-punk Cowboy themes and the undead? RIPD. There’s a lot of borrowed-ness in this film. And sadly that’s not always a good thing. This big ticket movie just looks too much like MIB. Sure Robert Schwentke brings his characteristic vision to some scenes. But then this thinly scripted movie doesn’t allow its director or its leads any worthy opportunity.



The action’s not all that bad in RIPD. You’ve got two charismatic actors – Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds on top of their game. But even then you feel there could’ve have been so much more. The premise seems fun. A dead cop on his way to heavenly judgment is pulled from the portal of floating dead people and put in a police questioning room. He’s told he has the right skills to make it to the RIPD – the Rest In Peace Department. The perk is, he postpones his judgment day and goes back to earth to apprehend on the run dead folks. He’s partnered with a cowboy cop who’s been serving at RIPD since its inception. They make an unlikely team and that’s where the action begins.

Action comedies are generally tricky territory. While director Schwentke pulled off his last endeavor in the genre, Red with aplomb. This time he succumbs to working on a template. The movie looks and feels like it’s gearing for this big bang end. And even when the much-anticipated climax arrives it doesn’t quite hold your attention. Kevin Bacon plays the bad guy and all through the film creates a sense of mystery about his motives. But in the end his menace turns out to be anti-climactic. Come on! A guy who’s spent five years fooling everyone in living and dead Boston can do better than rely on a human shield as his final plan.


Ditto sentiments for Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds. Bridges looks like he’s repeating his Rooster Cogburn act from True Grit (2010). He’s funny on occasions but it looks all too familiar when he’s not being trigger happy and fighting the bad guys. Reynolds too looks like he’s still borrowing notes from Hal Jordon in Green Lantern and Matt Weston in Safe House. But what’s truly funny is that Bridges and Reynolds have avatars when they get back to Earth. So that people may not recognize them, Bridges has the identity of a super-hot blonde played by Marissa Miller and Reynolds is an old chinese man played by James Hong.

The Conjuring-Movie Review

The Conjuring

RATING- 4 STAR

Director: James Wan

Cast: Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Lili Taylor, Ron Livingston and Kyla Deaver

Take a picture perfect American family – a young father, a doting mother and their five young daughters. Put them in an old country house. Wait for it to get dark. And then let the madness begin. The Conjuring is a formulaic horror film but it employs almost every genre trick with great sense of terror. You might have seen scary movies in your lifetime. But you haven’t seen one this terrifying and action packed. Its artistic nature ends with its production design. But its true spirit lies in the fact that it will make you jump in your chair, not once but continuously through its two hour run-time.  
James Wan paces the film to perfection. It starts off with paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren explaining their case studies to an audience. It’s over there that you’re introduced to the movie’s first horror motif, a possessed doll named Annabelle. The action cuts to the Perron family moving into their new country home. And you know the place is sinister when the Border Collie refuses to enter the house. Only to be found dead in the morning. And if you ever played Hide and Seek with you siblings in a big house, be prepared to add some nightmarish experiences to those memories. The hide and seek game with claps in The Conjuring is hair-raising alright. One the best scene in film is when Carolyn Perron (the mother in the Perron household) is forced to play hide and seek in the cellar. Goose-flesh guaranteed.




The first half of the film sets the mood and tone. It’s slow and it creates the right sense of ambiance for the second half where things kick into supernatural overdrive. At all times you will feel a sense of dread exuding from the screen. And yet the thrills don’t feel cheap because the characters enduring the horror are so real. The Perrons are quite simply looking for a bigger and more comfortable home. But their bargain ends in a nightmare and feel hard for the young girls who’re subjected to the grudge of a witch and her haunted spirit posse. The Warrens on the other hand are the rationale of the story. They believe in the supernatural but only when science runs out of explanations. So when they come to the Perron household rescue you have added drama. Ed (Patrick Wilson) brings a strong sense of logic while his clairvoyant wife Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) brings the right amount of mysticism.

Put together you have enough human emotion to believe the horror in every haunting. After watching The Conjuring you might ask so what was new? The answer is ‘nothing’. But the fact is. Despite being an old-school formula-driven spook fest, this film scares the bejesus out of you. In an age when the horror genre is doling out so many lackluster movies, this superbly crafted James Wan film delivers the goods with gusto. Go watch and dig in to the arm rests. Wan might as well put a ‘money back guarantee’ on this one.

Pacific Rim (IMAX 3D)-Movie Review

Director: Guillermo Del Toro

Cast: Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day and Ron Perlman


In the early ’90s Doordarshan used to air a dubbed Japanese program called Giant Robot. It featured a small boy controlling a gigantic grey robot and fighting off a terrorist organisation called the Gargoyle Gang. A decade later DD Metro and Nickelodeon brought the Power Rangers to Indian TV. Add to that the influence of Transformers (both TV series and Michael Bay movies) and you have half your reason why Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim should be watched. The other half is giant monsters; the kind we’ve seen in Godzilla, King Kong etc. Now picture a giant robot exchanging blows with Godzilla. Only it’s not unfolding in the form of men in rubber suits on plastic city sets. It’s 2013 and state-of-art CGI has allowed Del Toro to breathe life into ultimate fan boy material. The mounting, the scale of his film makes Bay’s Transformers and Zack Snyder’s Man Of Steel seem like indie productions. If you’ve ever wondered what an IMAX action movie is capable of, you need to watch Pacific Rim.

The premise is really that simple. Giant robots versus giant monsters. Only the monsters spawn in the Pacific Ocean where aliens have created a portal from their world. So Godzilla wasn’t mutated by some toxic dump in the sea. It was bred in a factory on another world and sent here to kill vermin, that’d be humans. When you have a house pest the size of skyscrapers you need some serious squatting power. So the Jaegers are born. They’re giant mechanical robots piloted by two people and they have but one mission: to kill Kaijus (Japanese name for giant mythical monsters). If Pacific Rim sounds like a new comic book press release resource, fact is it is just that. This is ultimate movie mythology.





As cheesy and inconsequential as it sounds, that is the strength of this film. There’s no real Dark Knight-like soul in this action epic. But it makes up with relentless and unbound action. If you watch movies to be wowed or to extend the limits of how far your jaw can drop, this is it. There are about half a dozen action set pieces mounted on a scale that will inspire you.

There’s a difference between Pacific Rim and you’re average Hollywood big ticket action blockbuster. And that difference is Del Toro’s vision. He pauses on the action to sneak in shots that impress you. For example, a Jaeger’s misdirected punch is tearing through a building and reaches till an office desk where it gently rams a Chinese pendulum show piece setting it into motion. In isolation these descriptions sound vague but when you watch these scenes on the big screen you really marvel at the director’s ingenuity.

Del Toro takes a logical approach at telling his cheesy tale. If you’re wondering why make mechanical monsters who are like Gods of destruction? Or why pilot them physically in an age when the US army can control drones from thousands of miles? The movie will address these logical scenarios to sufficient effect. It will take some liberties of its own but by and large it will transport you to a world where levelling a 100 storey building in one punch will become your definition of cool.

There are physical performances by human actors as well. Charlie Hunnam is the hero, Rinko Kikuchi is his co pilot and Idris Elba is a tough as nails general. They bring in the necessary amount of human drama. Ron Perlman characteristically brings in his brand of surreal comedy. And it all compliments the megaton CGI load to a large extent. 

If you’ve ever been a fan of Japanese mecha anime like Mobile Suit Gundam or Evangelion this movie will shake up your world. But if you missed the Doordarshan telecasts of Giant Robot and Power Rangers this movie will show you a whole new world. This is 180 million dollars well spent. This is EPIC action at its best.

"I'm not happy that Ranbir and I are not friends" - Rishi Kapoor


Intimidating is how most people describe him. As he stands there, issuing orders brusquely, he sure looks daunting. We’re doing a shoot with him at Mehboob Studio and my young colleagues are scurrying for cover. But 10 minutes with Rishi Kapoor and you know all the bluster is just a defense mechanism. In fact, if he’s gruffy, it’s a sign that he likes you. It’s when he’s polite that you need to worry. He laughs, “That’s my nature. People who know me accept me, people who don’t know me find me intimidating. Later they realise what I’m all about. If I throw my weight around, it’s my pyaar ka nature, the way I am. I’m the same at home with my kids and wife. I don’t mean anything.” Sure enough my colleagues are singing his praise within minutes. Adorable, delightful, is how the girls refer to him. 




Professionally, things couldn’t be better for the veteran. He’s like a mall. A one point shopping centre for filmmakers. You want someone to play a mean guy? He’s the man. You want someone to play a gay principal? He’s the one. You want someone with comic timing? You want an underworld don? Yes you’re right. He’s the one. Of late, he has embodied one volcanic character after another, serving up equal helpings of intensity in action and emotion.
It’s a joy talking to Rishi Kapoor. He says it like it is. No mincing words. Whether it’s his less than friendly relationship with his son Ranbir Kapoor, Ranbir’s Casanova image or speculations about his marriage, he answers with a rare candour. Over chilled chaas and Perrier water, I ask him: 


 

SRK do a role similar to George Clooney



According to sources Shah Rukh Khan's character in Farah Khan's Happy New Year has some similar traits to that of George Clooney's character in Ocean's Eleven. Shah Rukh is going to spot a mature look and will also keep his hair longer than usual. While Ocean's Eleven is about a heist, Happy New Year is said to be about a dance competition. It is quite amusing that only a month is left for the film to hit the floors, Farah has not yet finalsed her leading lady. Is it some kind of surprise Farah is planning? We wait to see.

Issaq-Movie Review

Cast: Prateik Babbar, Amyra Dastur, Rajeshwari Sachdev and Ravi Kissen




Shakespeare’s immortal play Romeo and Juliet, which is about star-crossed lovers falling prey to destiny has been fodder for film plots since eons. One of the best adaptations is Mansoor Khan’s Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), where a young Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla play scions of warring families and get united in death in the end. Ishaqzaade (2012) directed by Habib Faisal comes a close second.

Manish Tiwary, in comparison  falls flat in his adaptation. He does get some things right. The Benaras milieu is spot on and so is the fact that certain clans in UP do have small armies at their disposal and carrying guns is a sign of masculinity. The chemistry between the cloistered girl and the brash boy is about right too. Prateik tries hard to be the cool gangsta type who doesn’t know how to react when true love hits him. Amyra Dastur as the impressionable collegian who at first shies like a startled colt in the face of love and slowly lets love ride her.

Rajeshwari Sachdev (the scene when she’s applying haldi to Amyra and her expressions change from vengeful to sympathetic is one of the plus points of the film) and Ravi Kissen, who have their own illicit love story going in the film, up the ante with their impactful performances. But its not a good thing when the supporting cast steals the thunder away from the leads.

The screenplay and editing are downright shoddy. You know the story so you want the lovers to end it all soon. It speaks volumes about a film’s quality when you’re looking forward to the death of lead protagonists.


All-in-all, Issaq is a good idea poorly executed. Shakespeare must be smarting in his grave.

The Wolverine - Movie Review, Readers Feedback


After the release of Red 2 and Turbo last week, here is another film based on a comic book character. For the uninitiated, The Wolverine is a 'ronin' mutant superhero with metallic claws rising from his knuckles. He often appears as an associate of the X-Men. This film is a pure pulp fiction based on the 1982 limited series on the character's exploits in Japan. Though the film connects and refers to various past X-Men films, this one is no sequel. It has a consolidated story by itself and the past references beautifully merge with the present tale on its own. 



The narration begins with two snippets. The first: Logan's act of protecting a Japanese soldier and their survival during the holocaust at a Japanese POW camp on the outskirts of Nagasaki, during World War II. And the second, his nightmares of having killed the love of his life, Jean Grey, and he swearing not to lead a violent life. After establishing the back story, the film rolls with an unkempt Logan leading a passive life in the Yukon wilds, occasionally losing his temper, when he sees sport hunters killing wild bears for amusement. It is during his stay at the Yukon wilds that a red-haired mysterious woman, Yukio, surfaces to inform him that he is summoned to Japan by a dying millionaire, Mr. Yashida. Ironically, Mr. Yashida is the Japanese soldier whose life Logan had saved in Nagasaki. Hence, he complies with the request and travels to Japan. Continue to read the story and movie review of The Wolverine in the slideshow.

MADRAS CAFÉ STORY

 

Madras Cafe movie is an Indian political thriller in which John Abraham plays as an Indian intelligence agent, while Nargis Fakhri as an international reporter. The film also deals with the subject of terrorism.

Nargis Fakhri- A new Role

Nargis Fakhri will soon be seen in Madras Cafe and this time she will be saying her dialogues in her own voice for the film. The actress who made her debut in the the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Rockstar did not speak her lines then because she couldn't speak Hindi. Shoojit Sircar's Madras Cafe will be the first film in which the 



audience will get to hear the voice of the 33-year-old actress. However, there is a catch to this. Do not expect Nargis to have mastered Hindi and speak in the language fluently. Fortunately for her, she plays a European journalist in Madras Cafe, so she doesn't have to speak any Hindi.

Shah Rukh Khan shows off his funny side

Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Chennai Expressare on in full swing, and the superstar is busy making the rounds at various television shows.


After Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma, SRK landed up on the sets of Comedy Nights With Kapil. This is the second time he has featured on this show.
Everyone knows Shah Rukh Khan can be very witty. And he obliged everyone by showing off his skills.

Here, he's seen with host Kapil Sharma.

Aya of Yop City : Film Review

Produced by The Rabbi’s Cat team of Joann Sfar and Antoine Delesvaux, the film shares a similar hand-drawn, ornately colorful aesthetic, making a convincing jump from page to screen without losing the rich texture of the original six-part series (published between 2005 and 2010). Yet it tends to suffer from the same haphazard narrative structure as Cat, linking together several plot strands from different volumes instead of building a single story arc with a strong enough emotional pull.
Still, there’s much to feast one’s eyes and ears on here, as we watch aspiring doctor Aya (Aissa Maiga) deal with the mishaps of her extended network of friends and family, all of whom live in the shoddy township of Yopougon in the late '70s.


Though Aya narrates most of the action, two of the film’s major storylines actually involve her BFFs Bintou (Tella Kpomahou) and Adjoua (Tatiana Rojo), both of whom dream of marrying a rich guy and opening their own beauty salons. Unfortunately, Adjoua gets knocked up by a mysterious beau and decides to pin it on Moussa (Jacky Ido), the shiftless son of a wealthy brewery magnate, hoping to secure her family’s future in the process. Meanwhile Bintou starts an affair with a flashy Ivorian expat, who she thinks will whisk her away to the finer parts of Paris (she doesn’t yet know what Belleville is).
While they don’t necessarily build into a cohesive whole, Aya’s stories do offer up a telling commentary on the social barriers faced by her community, as the Ivory Coast slowly evolves into a postcolonial capitalist state. These moments are best revealed by several overtly tacky TV commercials from the epoch that Abouet and Oubrerie intercut with the drama, as well as by a subplot involving Aya’s father (also voiced by Jacky Ido), who works for the local beer magnate (Pascal N’Zoni) and his crumbling empire.



A Mast comedy scene from -Anubhav movie. MUST WATCH!!!

Issaq- Review: is an insultingly bad film

This week a film called Issaq releases across the country, and it's yet another Shakespeare adaptation: Romeo And Juliet, this time, set in Benaras. 

It is a preposterously bad film, a shoddy wannabe that -- despite taking scraps from the table of Shakespearewallah Bhardwaj -- lacks ambition, soul, clarity. In case you were wondering, that title is pronounced iss-suck. And the film takes that last syllable far, far too seriously.
 The first time I saw Prateik Babbar in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na I was significantly intrigued. The second time I saw him, this time as a leading man, I was impressed. 

Without holding his Dum Maaro Dum squeakiness against him, I thought he'd be a solid choice to play that most overplayed of romantics. Also, I'd found many a merit in director Manish Tiwary's first film, Dil Dosti Etc. Guided by the bard's most universally evocative (and most frequently evoked) text, I thought something interesting might be on the cards.

It isn't. This is a monstrosity, a shoddily put-together collection of weakly written scenes that don't even attempt to flow from one scene to the other. The editors may be the chief culprits here, but the leading man must be chastised first. 

Babbar is an enormous failure and an overblown embarrassment. His performance, lacking in both consistency and sincerity, is affected also by a simian gracelessness: his line-readings are atrocious, and every other dialogue is delivered in a different kind of pitch. 



It is one of those cringeworthy producer's-son kind of performances, but I hear the Ramaiyya Vastavaiyya bloke was less painful. (I don't doubt it. What Babbar achieves here is a quite spectacular trainwreck; Tushhhar Kapoor and Jacckkie Bhagnani, however they spell their names, should hit theaters immediately for a good laugh.)

Perhaps in a misplaced tribute/slur, Tiwary names his battling families Kashyap and Mishra: it feels as if independent filmmaking buddies Anurag and Sudhir had a truly bloody falling out. 

The two families are out and baying for each other's blood, but in the middle of their gangland strife is shoehorned a strange "Madrasi" Naxalite who gets his men to wear his face on masks and sculpt likenesses of him in the sand. It is all most exasperatingly harebrained and amateurish.

But then doesn't that particular play work even when performed by schoolboys in drag dangling over cardboard balconies? The whole point of that love-struck romeo and his street-side serenade is that you know all the inevitable, gristly facts but hey... whatcha gonna do about it?

'Satyagraha a Glimpse of Nirbhaya, Gandhi, Anna Hazare'

The cast of Prakash Jha’s new movie Satyagraha --  Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Amrita Rao -- launched a song called Raghupati Raghav from the movie, at a suburban studio on July 25.

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram is a popular bhajan, and was Mahatma Gandhi's favourite.
Director Prakash Jha said that they had modified the song. "We have retained the initial lines of original prayer and added new lines keeping in mind the sentiments of people today,” he informed the media present.
"Middle class people across the world protest if they are in a democracy. The film is not about Anna Hazare. There is no reflection of his protest. But the essence is with Nirbhaya, Mahatma Gandhi and Anna Hazare," Jha said.

The director was confident that his film will be able to attract the audience to the theatres. "I feel that people will get entertained, people will get engaged and they will feel satisfied after seeing this film and that it is worth their money, it is their time's worth. It is worth the effort to come and see the film," he said.

Story: Four Indian agents plan to bring India's most wanted criminal home from Pakistan - do they succeed?



Review: Straight up, D-Day is explosive at three levels. The plot crackles. The acting sears. And the music flares with passion. Four Indian agents, angry and RAW, enter Pakistan to bring Iqbal Seth (Rishi Kapoor), a Dawood-like don, hated for his terrorism, home. Wali Khan (Irrfan) has married a local woman and fathered a child, but longs to find freedom from the truth and lies he lives. Irrfan amazes, switching from tender to treacherous in a flash, authentic as he calls out "Rudar!" to Rudra Pratap Singh (Arjun), a man of molten mysteries, introduced with a Lawrence of Arabia-like flair.
