Story: Babli steals cars, fears nothing and romances like a rowdy Romeo. But gets away with benevolence and besharmi.

Review: Remote control Ranbir is here. He can change your mood with a flick of an emotion. Laughter, tears, joy and palang tod romeo-giri. Bedazzling the eyes with baubles, goggles and padded crotches. Yes, he packs in this 'bulge' with besharmi and fearlessness.

At the outset, let me tell you that Kashyap's ('Dabangg' fame) 'Besharam'lacks a kadak story. It has thoda herogiri, clap-trap dialogues, freestyle rowdy dancing and stylish stunts (borrowed from recent action films). Bas! But RK drives this one (taking fuel and pee breaks) through fast freeways and rocky roads.

Babli (Ranbir), a baap-less boy, is a car mechanic-cum-thief, with braveheart. Along with his partner-in-crime, Titu (Amitosh Nagpal), they steal cars to support the orphanage that housed them. The smooth operators have a touch of class too, they dress like MIB ('Men In Black') call themselves T1 & T2 ('Terminator').

During one carnama, they encounter the comical cop-couple, Chulbul (Rishi) and Bulbul (Neetu) Chautala. Enter Tara (Pallavi), the 'beauttee' he falls for. He breaks her heart and spends the rest of the film fixing dils and dents.

This seems like Kashyap's test-drive with Ranbir, with average direction, un-moving music, and a screenplay that is unoriginal and so low on horsepower that it deflates before he revs the reel. He relies on the sheer 3K (read: Kapoors) power to entertain.

Ranbir's role may not be path-breaking, yet he's in full control. He plays a riotous rowdy with utter confidence; using gags padded (stuffing his crotch with socks - even men need 'enhancement', no?), with humour that's corny and horny. Ranbir is shamelessly, stylishly superb! If comic cracks weren't enough, watch out ladies - there's a real one, a flashed 'butt-crack' by RK!

Second in command is his baap, really - Rishi Kapoor. He steals one of the best moments of the film when he gyrates to 'Badtameez Dil'. He brilliantly plays the not-so-dabangg Chulbul, with abiwi (in adorable act) who fires (verbal) bullets and chides his mardangi. Newcomer Pallavi is confident but needs coaching. Amitosh Nagpal (Titu) adds fuel to the comic-fire.

While this is far from the best films of the year, if you shamelessly love Ranbir, go for it.

Note: You might not like this if don't have an appetite for typical Bollywood formula films.

Mharo Desh Mahaan
Story: The film is a light-hearted satire aimed at those who do not believe or hope that peace can prevail between India and Pakistan.

Review: Picture this - India and Pakistan are headed for war. TV reporter Rut Dutta ( Soha Ali Khan) promptly reaches the LOC to cover the notified attack LIVE! Raj ( Sharman Joshi), captain of the Indian army, happily shows her around, unlike a brooding Shah Rukh Khan of Jab Tak Hai Jaan. When the two are not busy ogling each other, they play antakshari with Qureshi (Javed Jafferi), captain of the Pakistan army and his soldiers! Rut soon discovers that rival soldiers are caught in banter with each other instead of crossfire. Does this camaraderie help in sustaining peace between the two countries? Will it expose the hidden agendas of the US and China?

Promoted as India's first war comedy, one must acknowledge filmmaker Faraz Haider for deviating from 'formula films' and offering something new. His concept is unique. After all, how many films have revolved around the cross-border equation between Indian and Pakistani soldiers till date?

Black comedy is a rare genre in Bollywood and hats off to Haider for bringing it to the forefront. His subject is relevant, given the many unpleasant cross-border incidents that have occurred of late.

Unfortunately, a poor script and juvenile execution let the promising premise down. After a while, the characters start looking caricaturish, especially the 'forever meat-hungry' Pakistani army. A few genuine one-liners do evoke laughter. (e.g., US selling guns to India on EMI). However, repeating the same jokes over and over again spoils the fun.

Also, the events seem way too convenient, implausible and far-fetched for one's liking, given the sensitivity of the situation. We understand it's a comedy and so the wishful thinking, but a little authenticity would have helped. Also, why the cliches? Making media and politicians the butt of all jokes has been done to death.

There's an underlying tragedy that lies at the heart of this film but it gets overshadowed by too many childish gags. While Sharman, Soha and Javed are perfectly understated, Dalip Tahil goes overboard with his various impersonations.

Story: A novelist must pose as a geeky student to impress his girlfriend'sbrother. While he's at it, his lookalike enters the scene, adding to the confusion.

Review: Baat Bann Gayi is a clean family film as there are no double-meaning jokes or tacky skin shows that make you cringe. Sadly, there is no comedy or entertainment either, and for a film that intends to be funny, this one ends up being tardy and way too predictable for your liking.

This is just below average movie.......not worth it...... flemingo India (Unknown) 14/10/2013 at 06:48 PM

A successful author (Ali Fazal) pretends to be a geek in order to impress his girlfriend's (Alisa) brother (Gulshan Grover), because he expects his brother-in-law to be intelligent. That somehow implies that writers are not intelligent. Anyway, while the hero's almost on the verge of winning over his girl'sbhaiya, his rowdie lookalike shows up, adding to the drama. That's not all. Even the bhaiya has a lookalike! Will things fall into place?

The major issue with this movie is the fact that it borrows heavily from films like Chupke Chupke, Golmaal and Seeta Aur Geeta. Even if we ignore the lack of originality, the formula that worked in the 1970's looks way too outdated for today. Besides, those films had a solid script and some great comic timing. Here, barring Gulshan Grover, everyone else looks like they are trying too hard to make you laugh. Not their mistake. Blame it on the poor writing.

What disturbed us the most were the terrible sound effects (e.g., toilet flush sounds) which hound you throughout the film. That's another reason why the film puts you off. In a desperate bid to entertain the audience, we are bombarded with these fake and supposedly funny noises throughout.

Razzak Khan looks disinterested in the film while the heroine and her sister-in-law are made to look plain silly. Ali Fazal rises above the writing but eventually, the film lets him down. Gulshan Grover underplays his homosexual character well.

Hum Na Tode
Har Kisi Ko Nahi Milta
Story: Satyakanth Shastri (Mithun) is the righteous father, who adores his 'sanskari' younger son but disowns the elder, as he resorts to violence to fight injustice. They part ways and the ethical but short-tempered son grows up to become Boss (Akshay Kumar) - a contract killer who learns to laugh in the face of adversity. Do they reunite?

Review: 'Apne ko kya hai, apne ko toh bus paani nikalna hain' is Boss Akshay's punch line in the movie. If you rephrase it a little with 'Apne ko toh bus Akshay Kumar ka stunts dekhna hai', then Boss is a 'kick-ass' entertainer. After all, we all know who the Boss of action in Bollywood is.

First time full too entertainer, just keep ur mind at ur house and make way for the Boss Pramod Dubey (Unknown) 18/10/2013 at 01:54 PM
Post your Review & Rating

A remake of 2010 Malayalam film, Pokkiri RajaBoss is a formulaic action comedy. There are truckloads of stunts throughout and whatever falls in between constitutes the plot so don't expect logic. It seems the action was probably chalked out before and the 70's-like melodramatic story was inserted later as filler, which explains why most characters end up being silent spectators, once Akshay makes an entry. The very vicious ACP Ayushman Thakur (Ronit Roy, brilliant) in particular gets easily outplayed by ourHaryanvi hero. The romantic track between Shiv Pandit and Aditi Rao Hydari is terribly inconsequential.

To cut a long story short, Boss solely relies on Akshay's star power and he carries the film on his shoulders with aplomb. It's his dialoguebazi andfilmygiri that make you smile, no matter how corny the one-liners. He climbs the walls at a lightning speed like a Spiderman, jumps over rooftops, trucks and makes his way in a crowded place by walking over the heads of his enemies. He makes gravity-defying stunts look believable. We particularly liked this elaborate chase sequence which looks like it's been shot in one-take. From cracking of bones to the crunching of chanas that the villain munches on, the sound effects add to the intensity of the slow-mo stunt scenes.

Mithun Chakraborty goes overboard with his preachy Nirupa Roy-esque character and is thus unintentionally funny. Ronit Roy has a superb presence. Sadly, he gets meagre footage. Aditi Rao Hydari and Shiv Pandit are used as mere props.
