Maximum Movie Review

Maximum is a case of too much blood and blabber being wasted on a tale that has been flogged to death to such an extent that it is probably now a veritable carcass rotting in the Bollywood sun. Maximum lacks the nuanced detailing and the urgent pacing that should have automatically sprung from a theme yanked out of the internal files of a highly politicised police force. Living up to its title, the film had raised hopes of a new dawn. Maximum falls way short: it does not turn out to be a morning bright and sunny enough to spread all-round cheer. Sadly, the effort is maximum, the impact not quite so.

Cocktail

Producer : Dinesh Vijan; Saif Ali Khan; Sunil A Lulla; Andrew Heffernan Director : Homi Adajania Starring : Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone; Diana Penty; Boman Irani; Dimple Kapadia Music : Pritam Lyrics : Irshad Kamil, Amitabh Bhattacharya Genre : Romantic Recommended Audience : General Film Released on : 13 July 2012 Story-Line “This film looks a lot like Love Aaj Kal”, quipped a friend. He added, “And Saif looks too old.” Those very lines have formed a very significant form of pre-release expectations that have surrounded the film as soon as the promotions commenced. The director of the critically acclaimed English-language Being Cyrus, and the writer who has already earned star status for himself, writing and directing films like Jab We Met, Love Aaj Kal, and Rockstar; interesting combination, isn’t it? It’s more so like the successful pair of Love Aaj Kal comes together, this time with a few new changes. Hit music, a terrific on-screen pair, a promising new face, a return of a di

Bol Bachchan

Producer : Dhilin Mehta; Ajay Devgn Director : Rohit Shetty Starring : Ajay devgn; Abhishek Bachchan; Asin; Prachi Desai; Asrani; Archana Puran Singh; Music : Himesh Reshammiya; Ajay-Atul (Guest Composer)) Lyrics : Swanand Kirkire; Shabbir Ahmed; Farhad-Sajid Genre : Comedy Film Released on : 06 July 2012 Story Line Entertainment coupled with a weak story, a weaker screenplay, and complete lack of common sense– Bol Bachchan has all the exact ingredients of cooking a 100 crore dish. The movie and its box office collection reflects the average film making for the average film going audience that Bollywood has currently ended up in. The story is inspired (the new term we use for copied) from legendary Golmaal (yes this time they copied the story in place of name) and fails to create the same vibe. The dialogues partly inspired by senior Bachchan movies and partly by the done-to-death inept English speaking dimwit roles that we have seen fail to make a lasting impact. Its inability to rec

Trishna

Producer : Anurag Kashyap Director : Michael Winterbottom Starring : Frieda Pinto, Riz Ahmed, Anurag Kashyap, Amit Trivedi, Kalki Koechlin, Roshan Sheth, Music : Amit Trivedi, Shigeru Umebayashi Lyrics : Genre : Drama Recommended Audience : Adult Approximate Running Time : 117 min Film Released on : 13 July 2012 Story line Life is often brutal, throw in love, and it gets even harsher. People come into and often times unhappily go out of our lives throughout the years. Hearts are broken, minds are played with, doubts are fostered, and ultimately the challenge is to remain true to yourself no matter what. “Trishna” is a movie in which Frieda Pinto’s understated performance as the lead character brings forth a myriad of uncomfortable emotions with the realization that life’s challenges are not always tied up into a neat little bow with a happy ending. In short, “Trishna” is a film that will challenge the viewer to visit those dark places we usually choose to ignore, and you will come o

Teri Meri Kahaani Movie Review

This harmless but dull film from director Kunal Kohli feels longer than its two hour running time because of the predictable nature of its episodic narrative. Kohli relies on period sets and costumes to differentiate each story, but alas, a bouffant here, a pathani there can’t take away the sense of sameness that plagues each chapter because of its consistently flat writing.Teri Meri Kahaani doesn’t work despite potential in the premise. It feels soulless and superficial, and is unlikely to find many fans.I’m going with two out of five for director Kunal Kohli’s Teri Meri Kahaani. In one song, Shahid and Priyanka dance inside the Globe Theatre where Shakespeare staged all his plays. Let’s just say the Bard will not be pleased.

Gangs of Wasseypur

Producer : Anurag Kashyap, Sunil Bohra Director : Anurag Kashyap Starring : Jaideep Ahlawat, Manoj Bajpai, Richa Chada, Piyush Mishra, Reema Sen, Nawazzudin Siddiqui , Jameel Khan, Pankaj Tripathi Music : Sneha Khanwalkar Lyrics : Piyush Mishra and Varun Grover Genre : Drama Recommended Audience : Adult Film Released on : June 2012 Storyline In the second half of the 19th century, a dejected painter (after being turned down by many) decided to become a missionary. He moved to a small Belgian town of coal miners in poverty. He saw a lot of characters in this poor peasant folk and it is here that Vincent Van Gogh created his first famous painting, in his own style characterized by Coarse and harsh strokes. Rajeev Ravi (cinematographer) and Anurag Kashyap together do a Van Gogh in the first one hour of Gangs of Wasseypur. The treatment and feel of the first hour of the movie is unlike anything you have seen before. Gangs of Wasseypur is a painting of moving images with coarse language an
