DRONA - The Rona

DRONA

Another good concept goes down the drain because of weak screenplay and direction.

First thing, the movie would have been great without the song sequences, the songs just brought down the speed of the movie to 0, and none of them were situational (no melodies too)

U lose the grip in first 15 minutes try sipping cola, then u hold the can in the fast scenes after that, the moment u grab the popcorns there is a song again that makes u doze of, this is all that is was doing through the movie.

all characters are good, a good superhero could have been etched
the acting is good, but the screenplay does not hold u

i would actually like this wonderful movie if it is available without songs

one indian movie we can compare in all aspects with "The Mummy"

animation, style, characters, just everything

just 2 stars from me

1920 : Served what I just expected

I wasn't expecting a "Raaz" because some movies can never be recreated, but yes i was expecting something veru close to it. I was served what as expected.

The movie starts with the backdrop of 1920 with Arjun who wants to marry a christian Lisa, opposed by his family he becomes a non believer.
The scenes are beautiful but they dont make you realise its India, palamkhet (of course the location is oversees and the horses used are foreigners too :P)
The first half of the movie has loose direction with almost no horror except a scene and little of love and emotion stuff, no fear....

But the story gets a grip just before the intermission, when I resumed with chaat , I just had my eyes on screen. Everything was perfect, scenes, acting, script, direction and everything else. Some very innovative approaches for the ghostly acting in a horror flick, the acting of the newcomers Rajneesh Duggal, Adah Sharma is good in the second half.

The fun is that a few horror scenes in the movie will actually make you laugh like hell, especially the way possessed Lisa moves in the mouse jumping here and there like "Betaal".

Overall a good movie, not a spine chilling horror. 
The good part: acting in second half, graphics
Music is just wonderful, though runs only in background.

SARKAR RAJ - A movie just too good

It was raining heavily this Saturday, still i took my big umbrella and moved out to enjoy SARKAR RAJ. I just hoped that i dont regret. And yes I didn't, it was worth my sail on roads of mumbai filled with water to reach Fame Adlabs at Inorbit in Malad.




If you liked SARKAR, this is a movie for you !!! and if you haven't seen SARKAR, this is great!!!! SARKAR had all about the power of Subhash Nagre, Big B, and the emrgence of his son Shankar Nagre, Big B was the most powerful face in the movie SARKAR RAJ takes it ahead, with the power now coming in the hands of Shankar Nagre, and the almighty Subhash Nagre becomes helpless and weak with everyday. Amitabh Bacchan has potrayed this role with his class, the helplessness on his face in front of his powerful son looks beautifully enacted. Less but powerful dialogues, well screenplayed scenes, a perfect background score and class direction all are the equal part of the beauty of the movie. At times I felt why a particular foolish character was added, but the climax reveals the importance of the character being that way. The story builds itself, and you grip your seats a lil more. SARKAR RAJ has an element of suspense which takes it beyond the scope of SARKAR The negative characters become the vital part of movie The best part is BigB, in his transition, from the weak to yet again powerful SARKAR, you really admire his acting skills in this, I doubt there is some other actor on the globe who can do this with such beauty. Infact i believe all the actors in film are at the best perfomances, totlly power packed. Finally at the end, there has been a slot left for SARKAR 3 which i wait for overall a beautiful movie, if you dont like guys n gals dancing near trees
