Wanted overpowers DBH

Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia starrer film Wanted was promoted across all mediums and had so much of hype surrounding its release that an outstanding opening was predictable.

Wanted

Salman Khan who looked fresh and danced amazingly like never before, shot action sequences and fast paced narrative did not disappoint the audiences like most big banner films in the recent past did.

Much against popular trade belief that Wanted is only a single-screen film, the film did decent business at most multiplexes as well with the audiences in. While most films show a slump in the business Monday onwards, it was exactly the opposite in case of Wanted.

Aamras-youth-centric film.

Aamras is a comedy plus drama flick that features Vega Tamotia, Natasha Bhardwaj, Maanvi Gagroo, Anchal Sabarwal and Zarina Wahab. The film is directed by Rupali Guha. There's Pari, the spoilt rich glamgirl, Rakhi, the dusky Punjabi kudi, Jiya who's sweet and Sanya who's attractive and confident.

Aamras

Aamras takes one back to the fun-filled carefree days of life when one does not have anything to worry about. Writer-director Rupali Guha is quite impressive in the first half but loses track in the second portion of the film.

An ordinary story based on four friends Jiya (Vega), Pari (Natasha), Rakhi (Maanvi) and Sanya (Aanchal), who belong to different family backgrounds and study together in the same school.

They stand for each other in their tough times. The story goes well unless Rupali brings in a romantic twist, which makes Aamras any regular run-of-mill film. It’s a youth-centric film.

Vega, Natasha, Maanvi and Aanchal are perfect for their roles. Ajay Singh Choudhury is nothing to do the film. Zarina Wahab and Reema, Sunil Sinha and Manoj Pahwa are good. On the whole, Aamras is fairly a good film.

Bachelor Party

Bachelor Party is a Hindi comedy flick directed by Ishaan Trivedi and produced by Arun Bhairav, Faisal Kapadia. The movie was released on September 4, 2009 and featured Jimmy Shergill, Nauheed Cyrusi, Arbaaz Khan, Ninad Kamat, and Sharath Saxena.

Bachelor Party


Bachelor Party is a coarse comedy. The problem is that the movie is simply not funny enough. Even the more serious attempts at humour fall flat. A sensible but under-rated comedy that sank quietly at the box-office.

Ishaan Trivedi who is the director for Himesh Reshammiya's starrer film Radio fails to tickle the funny bone of the audiences.

Mohandas

After showing his creative work in superhit films like Satya, Jhankar Beats and Masti, cinematographer Mazhar Kamran has now came up with his directorial debut titled Mohan Das which got released on September 4. With the film Mazhar Kamran makes a sincere attempt to narrate this unconventional story well.

Mohandas


The film is made on a small scale with talented actors like Sonali Kulkarni, Nakul Vaid, Sushant Singh, Sharbani Mukherjee, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Uttam Haldar, Aditya Shrivastav, Akhilendra Mishra and Govind Namdeo. The film is produced by Abha Sonakia.

The plot of the flick revolves around a man who is lost in his own country. The problems faced by a common man are dealt with open satire in the film. The
muisc of the movie is given by Vivek Priyadarshan.

Nakul Vaid plays his part very well and has proved his worth. Sushant Singh doesn't get scope, but nonetheless leaves an impact. Sharbani Mukerjee has transformed herself well for this part. Sonali Kulkarni gets a right role. Aditya Srivastava is competent. Govind Namdeo is first-rate. Sameer Dharmadhikari just okay. Uttam Haldar is proficient.

On the whole, Mohandas is a well-intentioned, well-made film, but it will have a tough time standing on its feet due to lack of face-value and also multiple releases. Still, you must see the film....

Kaminey-A Pure Entertainer

Vishal Bhardwaj has successfully executed the story line of ‘Kaminey’ which makes it different from other films. The film stars Shahid Kapur and Priyanka Chopra. Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey is bold, funny and unpredictable, which is the success mantra of the flick.

Kaminey-A Pure Entertainer


Shahid Kapoor has played double role in Kaminey and he looks awesome in the film. Kaminey is not about masala film. Actually it is a well planned movie.

The story revolves around a pair of twin brothers– Charlie and Guddu. Charlie lisps, while Guddu stammers. The title Kaminey takes time to justify itself. The best part of the movie begins after the interval to the climax.

The director has placed all themes so perfectly, that his direction proves that Vishal is a master storyteller. With the film Shahid Kapur has already taken a big step towards stardom. Priyanka Chopra is now the top-most listed actress. Amole Gupte is outstanding. Tenzing Nima and Chandan Roy Sanyal leave a solid impression.

Watch the pure entertainer film and have fun !!!

Love Khichdi-A one time watch

Directed by Srinivas Bhashvam, Love Khichdi's storyline is based on seven different girls and one man. What does make "Love Khichdi" interesting at junctures is the entire 'talking to the camera' narrative that the director applies. The film projects at what a man and a woman would think about the same situation.

Love Khichdi


The film though eventually boils down to be the show reel for the lead couple Randeep and Sadaa. Sadaa gets maximum footage and does complete justice to her part in her debut Bollywood film. She is beautiful, confident and her experience in films down south shows. On the whole, Love Khichdi may not be the perfect health diet but is decent enough to be a one time watch. Too many parallel tracks spoil the script. The main characters of the film are Randeep Hooda, Sonali Kulkarni, Rituparna Sengupta, Divya Dutta, Riya Sen, Kalpana Pandit.
