Movie Review:Bhool Bhulaiyaa

October 29th, 2007 by Naman Bagga | No Comments | Filed in Movies, Videos


Here's another review of a great movie-Bhool Bhulaiyaa.Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a movie by Priyadarshan which is not a comedy but is a psychological thriller.

Here are my ratings for this movie-
My Rating-3.7/5
Content Rating-U(Universal) or in other terms, G
Comments-Great fusion of comedy and thrills

The movie is a perfect fusion of a thriller and a comedy.Akshay Kumar's presence in the movie makes it obvious that the movie has to have a few really funny scenes.The movie is not too scary and I don't see any problem if kids watch this movie.

Shiney Ahuja hardly has a part to play in the movie.Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan are in lead role.Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav have done justice to their roles.Amisha Patel also did a decent job in the movie.

The only flaw I see in the movie is that at times the scenes which were meant to be scary end up to be funny which is good sometimes but unsuitable other times.The music of the movie is great and the controversial song-'Hare Krishna,Hare Ram' is very popular among the youth.

The last song of the movie is worth appreciating.It is perhaps the scariest part of the movie.Vidya Balan has done an excellent job in the song.The movie was made in south Indian languages before it was made in Hindi like other Priyadarshan movies.

Here's the last song-'Aami je tomar'.I would warn you that some of you could lose your appetite or get horrifying nightmares after watching this one-

And here's the Tamil version 'Ra Raa' from the movie Chandramukhi starring the heartthrob Rajnikant-

The similarities are striking.You should watch this version from the movie- Manichitrathazhu-

If you think this was it,here's the Kannada version of the song from the movie Saundarya-

Overall,you should watch this movie if you like comedies or thrilers.

Movie Review-Dhamaal

October 24th, 2007 by Naman Bagga | No Comments | Filed in Movies, Reviews


I watched Dhamaal quite a while ago but felt lazy or perhaps exams intervened and I couldn't write a review of the movie.So,here's a delayed review of the movie Dhamaal.

My Rating-4.05/5

Good comedies are rare these days.But Dhamaal is one of the rare good comedies.The film is well made and the cast has done a great job.The quality of humor is very good and the film is a perfect entertainer.

Javed Jaffery needs a special mention for his acting skills.He has done a marvelous job in the movie.I'll give him 10/10 for his performance.His is damn funny in the movie.

The only weak point in the movie is its beginning which has too frequent songs.The rest of the movie is a class apart.I found myself laughing out loud and couldn't control my laughter in a couple of scenes.

The movie has been made for all kinds of people.This great entertainer is a must watch.You should buy a DVD if its not playing at a cinema near you.

MOVIE REVIEW:HEYY BABYY

August 29th, 2007 by Naman Bagga | No Comments | Filed in Movies, Reviews


Here's my review of Sajid Nadiadwala's latest movie Heyy Babyy.Here are my ratings-

My Rating-3.1/5
Content Rating-PG

Today,I have decided to give just one rating as there can be no two opinions regarding the movie.I was tempted to give the movie a 3.2 but i deducted 0.1 from the ratings as the movie ended with the message-"LOVE YOU SRK" which I didn't like.The movie is a comedy with a few serious patches in between.The cast is too large to mention but the lead actors are-Akshay Kumar,Ritesh Deshmukh,Fardeen Khan and Vidya Balan.

The movie has a good beginning with the title song being a nice introduction.The song has more than a dozen heroines having a role of 10 seconds each.The movie starts on a funny note and then becomes a bit serious like an ordinary movie.The serious part is punctuated by comedy which makes it entertaining.

The movie has a spoof of the movie-DDLJ i.e.-Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.A lean and funny looking Shah Rukh Khan has a special appearence for a song in his DDLJ role.I would rate Shah Rukh's designer-0.1/5 because 0 does not look nice.He was looking like a joker in the movie.

An Inference I made from the special thanks to SRK is that the 17 heroines having a 10-20 second role were paid and SRK wasn't paid for his appearance.One of the most important aspects of watching movies in a cinema hall is that you get to see some latest trailers.This one featured the trailer of Om Shanti Om.

The trailer of Om Shanti Om was not good enough to make me curious to watch the movie but I predict a good opening for it due to the Presence of Deepika Padukone who has been one of Google's top searched people.The movie looks like an old movie.Farah Khan has always had a fascination for movies like old ones.

If you want to know whether Heyy Babyy is worth watching,I'll give you an advice-watch it at least once.The movie is a must watch for feminists who like to see men being slapped by women.

MOVIE REVIEW:CHAK DE INDIA

August 11th, 2007 by Naman Bagga | 4 Comments | Filed in Movies, Reviews


I've been watching a lot of movies lately.Here's my review of the latest YRF movie Chak De India.

My Rating-4.1/5

Have a look at the trailer before reading this review

What do you expect from this movie after watching this trailer?I know the answer-Not much.I didn't expect the movie to be worth a 4.1 on my blog.But trust me on this,the movie is good.

Another aspect which forced me to give this movie a rating of 4.1/5 is that the last few YRF movies have been awful.This one offers some respite.It has been seen with movies like Lagaan that the moment you introduce sports in movies the movie becomes an international match in which the audience enjoys itself cheering of India.

The storyline of the movie wasn't totally original.It reminded me of Bend it like Beckham.The story is about a retired player who retires at an unusual young age due to bad circumstances.He becomes the coach of the women's team.The girls face objection from their family.There are two forwards who play against each other striving for personal achievements.

The script is a strong one and you can relate to most of the part of it like state wise selection.There is however an exception that when Shah Rukh Khan congratulates the Pakistan team after losing the final the public reaction is extreme and he is called a traitor.This is not what happens in India.India has been shown in a bad light.After all sports is all about friendship.

There are a few technical errors in the movie.I'll share the one I noticed.In the world cup,Indian team defeats almost every team 1-0.Before the final,the two forwards have about 8 goals each.This is practically impossible and I would have rated this movie 4.2 if this error would not have been there in it.

Overall,you should go and watch the movie if you wish to and I promise you won't come home unsatisfied.Everybody has done a decent job and I expect this movie to be a big success.
