Do Knot Disturb

Produced by Vashu Bhagnani, directed by David Dhawan Do Knot Disturb was released on October 2, 2009. The film features Govinda, Sushmita Sen, Ritesh Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Sohail Khan, Ranvir Shorey, Rituparna Sengupta, Rajpal Yadav and Manoj Pahwa.





Govinda plays a rich husband who is married to Sushmita Sen. At the same time Govinda also has been having an affair with Lara Dutta who plays Dolly's character who is an item queen who has dumped her ex (Sohail Khan) for greener pastures. Govinda’s kicked out butler Nandu (Rajpal Yadav) in an attempt to get back at him clicks a photo of him with Dolly and sends it to his wife.

When you enter a film like Do Knot Disturb, logic should be the last thing on your mind. In the movie you will see a two timing husband who is no more a novelty on screen and Govinda and David Dhawan have churned out many films revolving around this theme earlier. But this time they have failed together.

Nadeem Shravan’s music is dated like the film’s jokes barring the Bebo number. Sets are gaudy and camerawork functional. Govinda can create a laugh riot amongst the audiences if he decides to do so but in this flick in some comic sequences the actor has lost his humor.

Ritesh Deshmukh on the other side is much subdued and likeable as the greedy waiter. Lara Dutta looks great and with her acting she has displayed good flair for comedy. Sushmita Sen is hardly there in the first half and is not seen in the second right till the climax.

Ranvir Shorey is funny but skips to tickle your laughter bone. Sohail Khan’s character could have been developed more as he is genuinely funny in his angry moments. Rajpal Yadav and Manoj Pahwa manage a few laughs. Rituparna Sengupta hardly gets any scope.

Do Knot Disturb is a comeback of the No.1 series trio of producer Vashu Bhagnani, director David Dhawan and Govinda but alas they need to work more this time !!

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.




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.




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.




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.

Daddy Coool

Sunil Shetty, Aarti Chhabria, Aashish Chaudhary, Tulip Joshi, Aaftab Shivdasani, Javed Jaffrey, Kim Sharma, Sophie Choudry, Rajpal Yadav, Chunky Pandey, Suhasini Mulay, Vijay Patkar, Prem Chopra, Vrajesh Hirjee and Sharat Saxena starrer film Daddy Cool is directed by K. Muralimohana Rao and produced by Ashok Thakeria and Indra Kumar and the film will be released on August 28, 2009.




The plot of the film tells that Suniel Shetty plays the role of an aspiring writer who tries to give his father a decent funeral. Having flown in first class younger brother Brian (Ashish Chowdhry), successful and much admired writer from Mumbai, not ready to share responsibility for his mother, saying "He barely has money to support himself and his dogs."

Agent Pinto (Vijay Patkar) tries to close a house deal for Nancy (Aarti Chabria) Steven's wife who is trying to get away from her mother-in-law Mrs. Lazarus (Suhasini Mulay) , who though just bereaved, lives up to her title admirably.

A doddering old Uncle Murphy which is played by Prem Chopra is in a wheelchair and believes in practicing young to get the girls. Overall it is a comedy movie and lets see whether the film can set a cool chemistry with its audiences....

Hindi Movie-Tezaab

Tezaab the hindi movie that released on November 11, 1988, gave actress Madhuri Dixit her first big break, and Anil Kapoor's got successful after doing Mr India (1987). The film was directed by N. Chandra. Music was given by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. The film was also known for the song Ek Do Teen, which was a chart success. The dance style in the song became a permanent feature in almost all of Madhuri's later films.




Tezaab was a violent love story in which Anil Kapoor is was characterised as a good boy, but due to certain circumstances starts doing bad deeds in life. Madhuri is the victim of an insensitive, abusive father.

Anil Kapoor won the Filmfare Best Actor Award, while Dixit was nominated for Best Actress. Alka Yagnik won the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award for the film.

The story of the film Tezaab was run-of-the-mill. It was the treatment and presentation that set the film apart.

Agyaat -Film by Ram Gopal Verma

Agyaat is an upcoming Bollywood horror film by Ram Gopal Varma starring Nitin Kumar Reddy, Gautam Rode, and Priyanka Kothari, Ravi Kale, Ishrat Ali, Harvey Rosemeyer, Kali Prasad Mukherjee, Rasika Duggal, Joy Fernandes and Ishteyak.



A film unit goes to a jungle for a shoot and gets misplaced. The members of the crew begin to get killed one after the other leaving the rest on the run for their life.

Adding to their fright is that they don't even know what is behind the kills, whether it is a man or an animal or something else. The film is expected to be released on August 7, 2009.

STOP

STOP is about four friends, three girls and a guy. The movie revolves around their lives as a unit and then steers off for an individual build-up. It's interesting in the beginning but before you know, it starts dragging. Songs are interspersed without need and plots lengthened, without any cause. The editor could have done with sharper scissors.

The star cast of the film are newcomer Rohit Bhatia, Dia Mirza, Tejaswini Kolhapure, Gauri Karnik, Ishita Arun, Kiran Janjani, Anupam Kher and Om Puri. The film is directed by Ajai Sinha.

The film attempts to be a modern day take on friendships amongst today’s youth. While the friendship chemistry amongst the four friends has come out naturally well and some small sequences and lines shared amongst them have come out very identifiable, the overall impact is missing.

Newcomer Rohit Bhatia makes a confident debut. Tejaswini Kolhapure impresses a lot despite having been badly presented. Ishita Arun and Gauri Karnik barely get scope to showcase their acting talents.

Dia Mirza in a small but important part is good. Harsh Chhaya is getting type cast in a lecherous boss roles. He has done similar type of parts earlier in Laga Chunari Mein Daag and Its Breaking News. Kiran Janjani fits the part. Himani Shivpuri, Om Puri and Anupam Kher lend able support as usual.

While the film may not exactly be worth a visit to the nearest multiplex, it isn’t that bad either and can be caught up on home video on one lazy Sunday afternoon to watch.

Sorry Bhai

Sorry Bhai is about the complexities of relationships seen and felt in real life. That subtle tug or snap in relationships when people are drawn towards or pulled away from each other. These very moments captured with a telling effect provide the soul to ‘Sorry Bhai’ even though the film gets a little too tangled in the second half.

At the centre of the movie is a slowly developing love story between a woman and the younger brother of the man she is about to marry. Sanjay Suri as Harsh is set to marry Aaliya (Chitrangada Singh). His family comprising of a young, shy scientist brother Siddharth ( Sharman Joshi ), a disapproving mom ( Shabana Azmi ) and a chilled-out dad ( Boman Irani ) come to Mauritius to attend the wedding. While Harsh doesn’t seem to have much time for his family, Siddharth and Aaliya develop a bond that turns into mutual attraction. The duo fights this attraction.

More than just a romantic story, ‘Sorry Bhai’ taps on the bonding between two brothers, and between the two women in the story. Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani who charm you completely with their crackling chemistry and their natural act as urbane parents.

In a movie like ‘Sorry Bhai’, it’s more appropriate to judge the actors’ job from viewpoint of the chemistry between them rather than individual performances. Sanjay Suri is relegated to the background for a substantial part, but he too gets his moments. Boman Irani is superb in a relatively smaller but homour-filled role.

The film, with its above average music and eye-pleasing cinematography, has a somewhat boring ending preceded by a couple of sequences where you feel the director either lost his grip over the plot or became too self-indulgent.

But at the end of the day, ‘Sorry Bhai’ gives you a faint smile and doesn’t make you feel sorry for the money and time spent on the flick.
