Lootera Vs Policegiri Vs The Lone Ranger - Review extracts to decide your weekend celluloid getway

Welcome to romantic tragedies……slow burning is a potent procedure to season love recipes but you need actors who can withstand the heat of emotions. While Sonakshi endures the process with grace, Ranveer is found wanting. Traces of influence of Bhansali are clearly evident in the mounting of the film by Motwane.

Height of Cinematic liberty……Sanju baba washes his teeth with beer and mixes it with idlis.

“Liberal investment in every department except script” is the key of this Jack Sparrow movie.

Raanjhanaa.....Southern spice to North Dish

The product of southern spice in northern dish raked 21 crores in the opening weekend.  It’s a welcome change for good old cute n innocent love stories and path block for all those copy cat bollywood action movies, Xeroxed from south.

Here, the canvas showcases the real scent of Varanasi and its Launde.  Superb performances of four key characters (not stars) hold the momentum till the end with prominent support from other supporting cast. Though the second half appears unreal in pace but the emotions are real and revenge is logical.

Dhanush cannot ask for more for a debut in bollywood. He is effortlessly a Launda in Varanasi, post few reels you cannot imagine any other actor/star in his shoes. Sonam has come up with spontaneous performance of her career so far. Abhay Deol is impressive as usual but lacks the punch in his character due to length and plot. Rest, the emotions are so real on the faces that you realize you are actually watching a theatre play. The back ground score and the narration is apt to the characters moving on celluloid. You get all the answers that, why Anand L Rai chose Dhanush as main protagonist and why he accepted it, why the director has opted for Rehman and why you are watching a moving in which hero is less than 5 feet and looks so ordinary. The caste is spot on.  The director gave a statement recently to a leading national daily that “He connects to the actors personally and he is possessive about them”, which is very true. He extracted intensity out of almost all the actors including Swara.

At least this movie carries a strong point back home that a hero need not to be six feet height with those six packs and biceps. Particularly he can be from any “wood”. The language is so real that you hear plenty of claps and cheers to a Hindi speaking Tamilian. The movie carries the pain and the elevation as we have seen in Ranbir’s Rockstar. However fail to end high on very high note. But the few closing lines of the main protagonist leaves an impression on your face till you are reached parking lot.

This is  “as Lambi as Ganga kinaraaaa”. Go cherish the Taste of Varanasi.

V.V.Vi ‘Nayak’s - “Nayak”

                            

With the mega family’s young hero cherry, V.V.Vinayak directed his film “Nayak” to his best…Thaman’s mass cum cool beats added much to the audio..mass fights n   jilebi(brahmanandam’s), posani’s comedy was carried throughout the movie..

Cherry for da first time did his dual role in this film, which for sure will entertain the audience. The end which reminded me of “Tagore” but Vinayak managed the movie with his dual character hero on a comic note.

The dialogues were at the best to their timing which added to the humour..guest appearance of “charmi” put up her total charm to item song “Yevvaram ante eelure,si aata ki vaste sinduure”. The title song “Hey naayak,,tuu hey luv nayak” was a fast beat song,,,where we see our nayak,kajol n amala pal matchin steps with each other.  The exotic backgrounds for songs were awesome to watch. Chiru’s song “subhaleka raasukunna yadalo eppudo” was used well.

The theme of film revealed about mafias in present society which leads to the rise of Nayak(ram charan) with few twists n turns.

My craze towards film has stopped me from going to Jalandhar, i have been waiting in Delhi for last 3days to watch it. I personally enjoyed the film from the beginning to end.
