OMG OH MY GOD!

Genre: Comedy Drama Fantasy

Direction: Umesh Shukla

Lead: Paresh Rawal

It's an adaptation of a Gujrati play named 'Kanji Virrudh Kanji'. The movie is quite entertaining with its humor as well as dramatic instances. The direction is alright, given that Umesh Shukla has not done any good with any of his previous work. Acting was great; one always expects over-acting from a Bollywood comedy flick that ruins the entire feel of humor. But this one is implemented well. The dialogues are very well written to give the exact feel of what they want to portray. It's a bit over-rated though, the dialogues; there is not much new argument but the ones which every common man discusses about. Just putting them on the screen must have took some courage as it was a risk they took. But it is not that offending either to the ones who do believe in God. The movie is not about atheism for that matter, it's just about the flaws in the concepts around which people believe in God. The movie ends with a noble message which is acceptable and that's the point they wanted to make through this.

Now as for the movie, the story-line is utter bullshit! It's like they wanted to lay the points of the argument through something and so they built a movie around those points. The plot has a million loopholes and throughout the movie, there is absolute non-sense going on to make impact of the dialogues, like people constantly cheering without any reason and unnecessary music background. In some instances, it could be managed, but in most, it's like the story keeps purposefully bending to go with the flow that the writer wants, even if it doesn't make any sense. The movie's story and Paresh's and Mithun's characters are not at all fixed to one theme. At one time, they try to show the Paresh's character as an atheist, the other time, he is trying to find logical ways to believe in God. At one time, they try to show a thrilling and intimidating role of Mithun, and then he's stupidly comical. It's like they wanted to be justifying with both the believers and the non-believers, and got lost in the cat's cradle, and then they just released it without giving a second thought. Absolutely no thought process was used to make this movie's story. The entire movie was predictably stupid.

Just watch it for the lessons and nothing more. It does successfully send a noble message. It would have done better being something like a talk show debate, instead of a feature film, as it has a lot of revolutionary punches like the ones we get in George Carlin's stand-up shows. But definitely, a crap story with badly copied stunts of Akshay. Don't expect much expect some fun and a cloud of mushroom to think about after the movie, which has been over out heads already though.

RATING:

HEROINE

Genre: Drama

Direction: Madhur Bhandarkar

Lead: Kareena Kapoor

Madhur Bhandarkar is really unpredictable at his skills. At one point, he makes movies like Fashion and Page 3, and then there's movies like this. This movie has been the worst of his work till now, and it was way too obvious as he picked some of the worst actors of Bollywood for it- Kareena Kapoor, who does not have any clue about acting and goes on doing it at her highest peak, and on the other hand is Arjun Rampal, who has no clue about acting and stays at his lowest peak; the over-actor and the under-actor, what a combination!

The audience who are comparing this movie with Fashion and saying they are similar, have absolutely no sense of quality movies! Actually, if such crowd stopped watching movies, Bollywood might try change to find itself at a better place at the global level. The movie is utter crap with boring drama, which comes as no surprise at all, except for people who are actually dumb enough to have been looking forward to watch it in the first place. Seriously, folks, get a choice!

RATING:

BARFI!

Genre: Comedy Drama Romance

Direction: Anurag Basu

Lead: Ranbir Kapoor

A fun and entertaining watch without a second thought... Ranbir always does a mind-blowing job with the characters he plays. And others too have done all that they could. There doesn't seem to be anything lagging from anyone. The timeline shifting of the storyline has been planned perfectly. A very intelligent job by the director there. All the three genres have been implemented in a great way to touch the audience.

The only downside is the unnecessary stretched length of the movie. Hollywood has a number of such masterpieces and the reason they made the impact was because they were not stretched until they start to bore the audience. The movie should have been edited well. But it doesn't equalize with the tons of good points though. The songs are nice too.

To spoil the excitement though, the entire is made up of clips stolen from movies all around the world. Almost everything creative shown in this movie that entertains the audience is adapted from some or the other foreign movie. But as long as you are ready to excuse them for stealing the material, you are good to go enjoy the flick.

It promises an entertaining ride to enjoy, and does not offer less!
