Chashme Baddoor Review

April 8, 2013 by Keyur Seta Leave a Comment

Director: David Dhawan

Producers: Viacom 18 Motion Pictures

Writers: Sajid-Farhad and Renuka Kunzru

Cast: Ali Zafar, Divyendu Sharma, Siddharth, Taapsee Pannu, Anupam Kher, Rishi Kapoor, Lillete Dubey

Music: Sajid-Wajid

Genre: Comedy

Rating: * * * ½

Story Outline: Siddharth (Ali Zafar), Omi (Divyendu Sharma) and Jay (Siddharth) are the best of friends living as paying guests in Goa. Omi and Jay once set their eyes on a beautiful young girl Seema (Taapsee Pannu) and fall head over heels. Both are determined to win her heart but they both fail miserably. They feel pangs of jealousy when Siddarth later on gets involved with her.

Review: Remakes are best enjoyed if they aren’t compared with the original classic. At least, I am a firm believer in this theory. If you manage to do that with David Dhawan’s Chashme Baddoor, remake of Sai Paranjpe’s Chashme Buddoor, you are set for a rib-tickling joy ride. The high doses of laughter will also ensure that you turn a blind eye on few questionable instances.

Writer duo of Sajid-Farhad, who has penned lines for numerous successful comedies, is once again in terrific form. If crazy, mindless humor is your taste, you will find non-stop hilarity for the entire duration, even when the story turns serious. Its large contribution comes from the crazy shayaris rendered by Omi’s character. In fact, after a point of time, you will start giggling every time he is about to start a new one with, “Toh Arz Kiya Hai…”

In between such funny moments, Renuka Kunzru (screenplay) has developed the story and added the twists properly with the interval point deserving special mention. The all-important final culmination is convincing too. All in all, it is heartening to see Dhawan regaining his touch. With this film, we can say that Bollywood’s fun machine is back!

(Review continued after picture.)

Chashme-Baddoor-2013

There are moments where the humorous moments appear forceful, especially during Omi and Jai’s first encounter with Seema. Chashme Baddoor also suffers from some amount of vulgarity by objectifying the leading lady. It wouldn’t have reduced the entertainment or humor if it was avoided. Off late, Bollywood is accused of portraying women in questionable manners and rightly so.

Sajid-Wajid’s composed tracks go well with the film and add on to the entertainment even though the famous ‘Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai’ comes in the end. The title song (Early Morning) is super-satisfying too. The technical departments are adequate.

It was vital for the trio to shine in their performances and that, fortunately, happens here. Ali Zafar does a pleasant, decent job, except on occasions where he sounds awkward. Siddharth is very good as a youngster obsessed with movies. He pulls off those crazy moments appropriately. But it is Divyendu Sharma who is the scene stealer with a super hilarious act. He is also largely helped by the writers.

Taapsee Pannu makes a confident debut in Hindi films. Apart from the looks, she, more importantly, impresses with her acting skills. Rishi Kapoor enacts a crazy character with ease while Lillete Dubey is lovable once again. Anupam Kher and Bharti Acharekar chip in with good supporting acts.

Overall, Chashme Baddoor is a laugh riot that will please the masses. Despite the absence of big names, the film will succeed in climbing the box office ladder.

Chashme Baddoor Box Office Prediction

April 5, 2013 by Keyur Seta Leave a Comment

Director: David Dhawan

Producers: Viacom 18 Motion Pictures

Writers: Sai Paranjpe, Renuka Kunzru and Sajid-Farhad

Cast: Ali Zafar, Siddharth, Divyendu Sharma, Tapsee Pannu, Rishi Kapoor, Juhi Chawla

Music: Sajid-Wajid

Genre: Comedy

Release Date: April 5, 2013

Analysis:

Star Value: Despite not being a crowd puller, Siddharth is the only known face from the movie due to his Rang De Basanti act. Ali Zafar and Divyendu Sharma are also not strangers when it comes to the masses but there is no such star value in the movie.

Hype: Although the promos of Chashme Baddoor made heads turn, they didn’t impress much. However, the hype has slowly started building due to the youthful subject and some good promotional strategy.

Music: ‘Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai’ has become an instant rage and has immensely helped the film gain publicity. The title song too is becoming known.

Prediction:

Chashme Baddoor (remake of the classic Chashme Buddoor) will get an average to decent opening. Due to the urban, modern subject, it has a greater chance of earning in the multiplexes of the metros. But that doesn’t mean it has no chance in smaller centers. However, it is very vital for the film to impress at the onset else the above mentioned chances will hold no value. The film will also be helped by the fact that there are no major releases next week.

Aajcha Divas Majha (Marathi Movie) Review

April 1, 2013 by Keyur Seta Leave a Comment

By: Keyur Seta

Director: Chandrakant Kulkarni

Production: Puja Chhabria for White Swan Productions

Writers: Ajit Dalvi and Prashant Dalvi

Cast: Sachin Khedekar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Rishikesh Joshi, Ashwini Bhave, Pushkar Shrotri, Anand Ingle

Music: Ashok Patki and Mangesh Dhakde

Genre: Political Drama

Rating: * * ½

Story Outline: The movie is based on the old Marathi play Mukhyamantri. Chief Minister of Maharashtra Vishwasrao Mohite (Sachin Khedekar) will do anything to walk the righteous path. When he unintentionally insults an aged and blind singer, he feels guilty. He also gets to know that the singer had applied for a flat in Mumbai under a government scheme eight years ago but is still to receive its allotment.

In order to penance for his wrongdoing and give justice to the singer, Mohite pulls up his socks to allot the flat to him and that too before sunrise. His adamancy also brings him face-to-face with the dishonest IAS officer Rehmatpurkar (Mahesh Manjrekar).

Review: Politics has been one of the favorite topics for Marathi filmmakers but there has hardly been a film portraying an example of an ideal, honest politician. Chandrakant Kulkarni’s Aajcha Divas Majha should be seen for this reason. But other than this, it is only Sachin Khedekar’s delightful act that turns out to be the next plus point since the film lacks a watertight story and narration.

Aajcha-Divas-MajhaFrom the positives, it is very refreshing and heartwarming to see an honest Chief Minister literally worshipping his duty towards the citizens. Kulkarni attains high degree of realism in depicting the everyday workings of a CM and his subordinates. Rightfully, this is shown the most at the start but the proceedings don’t appear uninteresting due to some smart dialogues, fast narration and the charisma of Khedekar.

As mentioned earlier about the writing, the motto of the protagonist is not convincing or solid enough. Not only because the work could have done the following day (since it is not a do-or-die situation) but also because his urgency is born out of his personal guilt. In other words, it is difficult to say whether he would have shown the same determination if he hadn’t insulted the singer. This also means that he wrongly makes his staff work whole night for the mistake committed by him alone.

The script also lacks the basic element of conflict which makes sure there is not much of drama in the second half. Due to this, obviously, you don’t get the kick from the climax either. The character of Rehmatpurkar does threat to be a thorn in the CM’s path but that hardly happens. They also shouldn’t have given too much importance to the stenographer and his ‘glucose’ adventures.

Although the scene inspired from Anna Hazare’s fast is a minor one, it deserves mention for being questionable. There is nothing wrong in criticizing or disagreeing with someone but one should refrain from making a funny spoof of the real-life social worker.

Since the movie is based on a play, Rajan Kothari doesn’t get much scope to showcase his cinematography skills. But despite that, he does his job well. The background score provides the right effect. There is not much scope for music either but Ashok Patki and Mangesh Dhakde should be praised for the theme track and the classical song.

Repeating the above mentioned, Sachin Khedekar gives a delightful act by carrying the film on his shoulders. In fact, he also manages to overshadow the not-so-perfect writing. Mahesh Manjrekar perfectly fits the bill as an arrogant IAS officer. Despite these two big names, Rishikesh Joshi shines as CM’s secretary with an utterly mature performance. Ashwini Bhave does well as the CM’s wife while the supporting cast including Pushkar Shrotri and Anand Ingle play their parts convincingly.

Overall, Aajcha Divas Majha is watchable more because of the performances. The film has a chance at the box office due to the big names associated with it. But it still needs some rapid word-of-mouth.

Himmatwala Review

March 30, 2013 by Keyur Seta 3 Comments

By: Keyur Seta

Director: Sajid Khan

Producers: Puja Films and UTV Motion Pictures

Writers: Sajid-Farhad and Sajid Khan

Cast: Ajay Devgn, Tamannaah, Paresh Rawal, Mahesh Manjrekar

Music: Sajid-Wajid

Genre: Action/ Drama

Rating: * *

Story Outline: As a kid, Ravi has to to flee from Ramnagar after zamindar Sher Singh (Mahesh Manjrekar) and his nephew Narayandas (Paresh Rawal) force his father (Anil Dhawan) to commit suicide. Years later, he (Ajay Devgn) returns to his village to take revenge from Singh and Narayandas and improve the condition of his mother (Zarina Wahab) and younger sister (Leena Jumani).

Review: The original Himmatwala released 30 years ago and acquired a cult status among the lovers of commercial Hindi cinema. But 30 years is a long time. In these three decades, the audience’s taste has undergone a massive change. Now, we no longer feel moved by seeing a woman being physically and mentally tortured by her in-laws, a ‘hero’ saving a helpless woman from rapists or (worst of all) a helpless mother begging in front of Maa Sherawali for a miracle by mouthing some unintentionally hilarious lines.

This is the biggest reason for Sajid Khan’s Himmatwala, remake of the 1983 hit, failing to create impact. The other reason is the absence of entertainment most of the times. You just have to wait for a genuinely funny or amusing moment which hardly arrives. There are plenty of forceful attempts to make the audience laugh or entertain through some silly situations and ordinary ‘heroic’ moments. This comes as an unpleasant surprise since Khan, along with his writer duo Sajid-Farhad, has always been particular about entertainment in all his films before this one.

Himmatwala-2013As said earlier, the subject hampers the movie the most. Still, they could have made a whacky film by giving tribute to the 80s era. In fact, this was Khan’s intention going by his pre-release interviews. But giving a tribute to that era doesn’t mean you make a film which appears absolutely outdated. Of course, there is a huge twist at interval point but, instead of shock and drama; it takes the film to a lower level due to its stupidity.

The only respite comes from some hilarious moments which, sadly, are few and far between. Khan’s PJs and crazy humour, typical of his old TV shows, are the only factor that makes the film a watchable affair.

The technical departments (cinematography, background score and editing) can hold their heads high. The old classic songs ‘Naino Mein Sapna’ and ‘Taki Taki’ are retained from the original film so the composer duo Sajid-Wajid doesn’t deserve credit for that. Their original songs fail to impress either. The two songs mentioned above also don’t satisfy because of Devgn’s unfamiliarity with dancing.

Ajay Devgn carries the film on his shoulders and lives up to the title of Himmatwala, although we have seen him carry off such action packed roles with more perfection. Although Mahesh Manjrekar doesn’t do badly, he is a way better actor than what he does here. But it is the writing and the faulty characterization that is to be blamed.

Paresh Rawal also becomes the victim of the same and also of some over-desperate attempts to create humor. It is the actor’s brilliance that he pulls off this one and manages to provide the much needed laughter. Like most of the action films of today’s times, Tamannah Bhatia doesn’t have much to do. Even acting-wise, she is average. Leena Jumani shines in her debut while Zarina Wahab is likable. The rest of the actors aren’t much to speak about.

Overall, Himmatwala disappoints due to its faulty subject selection and lack of entertainment. Despite the presence of big stars and the commercial nature of the subject, the film will find it tough at the box office.

Himmatwala Box Office Prediction

March 23, 2013 by Keyur Seta 2 Comments

Director: Sajid Khan

Producers: Puja Films and UTV Motion Pictures

Writers: Sajid-Farhad and Sajid Khan

Cast: Ajay Devgn, Tamannaah Bhatia, Paresh Rawal, Mahesh Manjrekar

Music: Sajid-Wajid

Genre: Action/ Drama

Release Date: March 29, 2013

Analysis:

Star Value: The presence of a quality performer and superstar Ajay Devgn is enough to give a high rating to the star value of Himmatwala (remake of the film by the same name released in 1983). Plus, although Tamannaah Bhatia is a newcomer, she has already become known.

Hype: The curiosity for the movie was developed right from the time the shoot commenced. The idea of providing a live online telecast (webcast) of the mahurat shot worked well. Later on, the promos got a decent response, although not excellent. Due to this, the excitement is not very high although it is there.

Music: The remakes of the two songs from the original movie – ‘Naino Mein Sapna’ and ‘Taki Taki’ – have gone well with the audiences and have helped promote the film. The rest of the songs haven’t been that popular but they have a chance if the film does well.

Prediction:

Himmatwala will surely get a good opening at the box office, although not terrific. Due to its genre, it will surely do very well in the single screen theatres but that doesn’t mean it will struggle at multiplexes.

Such high-on-entertainment sagas also have the advantage of doing well in both metros and small towns. Therefore, even if the film doesn’t receive thumbs up initially in terms of the content, it won’t harm the producers much. These commercial capers with big stars are always a safe bet these days. And if Himmatwala does manage to highly impress, it will find itself in the Rs 100 crore club.

Tuhya Dharma Koncha? (Marathi Movie) Review

March 17, 2013 by Keyur Seta Leave a Comment

By: Keyur Seta

Director: Satish Manwar

Producers: IME Motion Pictures and Sprint Art Creations Pvt. Ltd.

Writer: Satish Manwar

Cast: Upendra Limaye, Vibhawari Deshpande, Kishor Kadam, Suhas Palshikar, Suhas Shirsat, Gauri Konge

Music: Dattaprasad Ranade

Genre: Drama

Rating: * * * *

(Review taken from the website HALTI CHITRE.) (To join us on Facebook, click HERE.)

Story Outline: Kavudu (Upendra Limaye) lives a tribal life with his wife Bhulabai (Vibhawari Deshpande) and two children near a tiger sanctuary in the interiors of Maharashtra. After their already struggling life goes through another bad turn, Bhulabai has no option but to convert to Christianity. The film focuses on the consequences of the conversion.

Review: A character in Satish Manwar’s Tuhya Dharma Koncha? is once heard saying, “Our survival is more important that our religion and name.” The movie gives this bold message in such a realistically fearless yet enchanting manner that one is forced to stand up and applaud. In fact, Tuhya Dharma Koncha? is a high quality celluloid experience in all aspects that has the potential to please audiences world over.

Thankfully, the film doesn’t aim to be a tear-jerker about the tragic struggle of a tribal family. The focus is completely kept on how struggle for survival forces someone to happily change their religion or God. The issue of religious extremism is also portrayed in a bold manner. What makes the film special is how beautifully the visual medium is used to put forth the message rather than using any kind of dramatic dialogues.

As a writer and director, Mawar easily succeeds in getting us involved with the family’s tribal life without making the proceedings appear as a docu-drama whatsoever. Even the simplest of everyday scenes are presented in a manner that will amuse you. This ensures that you instantly feel for the characters and their decision to convert. The story flow is maintained perfectly with the important issue of conversion being introduced and developed in an intelligent manner.

Tuhya-Dharma-Koncha

There is always a danger of the writer or director going overboard with the consequences of such an act in such genre of films but fortunately that doesn’t happen here. That part is portrayed in a sensible yet mature manner which stops the proceedings from going chaotic or loud. But it is the climax that takes the cake for it delights you for the daring message it gives in such a simple yet most appealing manner.

There does come a moment in the second half where the film shows signs to become a drag. This is also felt during a song on Jesus which should have been shortened. But since that doesn’t happen for a longer period, it won’t bother you, especially after the final culmination. All in all, after Gabhricha Paus, Manwar has again given a loud message that he is here to stay.

What further gives an international feel to the film is the artistic camerawork (Parixit Warrier) and an impressive background score (Augustine Samuel). Perfect art direction (Ranjeet Desai) and costume designing (Geeta Godbole) help in adding realism. The taut editing also needs to be lauded. Dattaprasad Ranade composed tracks suit the subject. The song ‘Ravavani Lanka’ deserves special mention, also for the lyrics.

In a performance-oriented film, the actors rise to the occasion. Upendra Limaye once again proves himself as one of the top performers in the Marathi film arena by giving a realistically mature act. Vibhwari Deshpande is simply outstanding! The way she gets every nuance right in a difficult role speaks volumes about her talent.

Kishor Kadam shines as a Catholic Priest. Some earnest support is provided by Gouri Konge, Yash Sutar, Suhas Palshikar, Sneha Majgaonkar, Shashank Shende, Padmanabh Bind, etc.

Overall, Tuhya Dharma Koncha? is a superlative realistic saga that deserves to be seen by all. Due to the low hype, there film is in desperate need of positive word-of-mouth to have an impact at the box office.

Adhya: Be Safe, Be Vigilant

March 16, 2013 by Keyur Seta 1 Comment

With atrocities against women being on an all-time high, there has been an all-round demand for the amendment of laws for the strictest punishment for crimes like rape. But along with the laws, training women to combat such a situation is equally important.

PrintKarishma Sharma and Shivani Thakkar, residents of Powai (Mumbai), have joined hands to do the needful in an event called Adhya on March 17, 2013 at Galleria Circle, Powai from 11 am to 8 pm. The motto of the event is to sensitize people and train them to deal against crimes like Rape, Sexual Harassment and even Child Molestation. The word ‘Adhya’ depicts various roles a woman plays in her lifetime – daughter, sister, friend, wife, saviour, etc.

“A single being may not be able to change the mindset of the human race but certainly one small stone thrown inside the ocean can cause a few ripples. Increasing number of cases against women & kids has led to desensitization. Awareness about these issues is the most important aspect for individual safety,” says Karishma. The event is contributed by NGOs like Kranti, Arpan, Urmi, We The People Foundation, Majlis, Think beyond, Mimaansa and G.O.D.S.

Adhya will see a number of interactive sessions including ‘Good Touch & Bad Touch’ by Psychiatrist Beenal Gangar, Child Molestation by Arpan, Women’s Right by Majilis, Sexual Harassment by Mr Jasaon Temasfieldt of We The People Foundation, ‘Portraying Right Image and Be Secure’ by Mr Harissh Iyer and Mrs Suman Agarwal (Image Consulting Business Institute), Constitutional Rights of Women by Inspector Asha Korke and Psychiatrist Taruna Khattar.

There will also be interactive games and some performances by students from Powai. Recently, the team of Adhya performed freeze mobs all over Hiranandani which received a positive response.

Sachin Khedekar in double role!

March 13, 2013 by Keyur Seta Leave a Comment

The veteran actor revealed the news while having a down-to-earth interaction with the audience during the event Ek Kalakar, Ek Sandhyakal.

By: Keyur Seta

(News taken from the website HALTI CHITRE.)

Over the years, Sachin Khedekar has acquired a cult following among the Marathi cinema audience. It is his ability to play a wide range of characters with ease that has helped him reached this level. However, few people might have noticed that he has never played a double role ever in his career. Well, the wait is over. Khedekar is finally playing a double role in the movie Pitruroon.

“I am currently shooting for a film called Pitruroon. It is directed by Nitish Bharadwaj. This time, you will see me in a double role,” said Khedekar. Although Pitruroon is Bharadwaj’s directorial debut, he is still known for his portrayal of Lord Krishna in the famous Mahabharat series by B R Chopra. Apart from acting in few Marathi films and directing serials like Gita Rahasya and Apradhi, Bharadwaj has also been into politics.

Khedekar revealed the news while interacting with the audience in Mumbai during the event Ek Kalakar, Ek Sandhyakal by Chaturanga. The actor had a candid discussion with the audience as he happily answered a number of their questions (some unusual ones too). “Sometimes we complain that people don’t come to the theatres when we do something good. Sometimes when we do some good work, we are not there to talk about it with the audience. So I have come here precisely for that,” he said.

Sachin-KhedekarThe discussion started in a humorous manner when an admirer pointed out to Khedekar that after he played a young lad in the serial Chaal years back, he has always played aged characters. The actor took it sportingly and said, “I played young characters even after that serial but I wasn’t famous then. And by the time I became a known actor, my age had increased (laughs). This happens with many of us. But I take your point as a compliment. I firmly believe there should be hard work. If you get something soon, it will also vanish soon.”

While answering a question, Khedekar also recalled the experience of shooting his most challenging role of Subhash Chandra Bose for Shyam Benegal’s Bose – The Forgotten Hero. Although the makers had worked hard for his look, he gained tremendous confidence only after someone from Bose’s family felt he resembled the revolutionary. Considering the hard work they had put in, Khedekar said he wasn’t pleased with the film’s fate. “Still I am glad with the response it gets when it is shown on TV during Independence and Republic Days. This means, the film is reaching the right people.”

Apart from Bose – The Forgotten Hero, it seems the actor isn’t too upbeat about his filmography in Bollywood. He was honest enough to say, “I have played unimpressive characters like the one I played in Singham. It is a requirement of my profession. I did Hindi films only because I wasn’t getting opportunities in Marathi. Else, I would have never done.”

Apart from speaking about his upcoming movie Aajcha Diwas Majha, his growing up days in Mumbai’s Vile Parle suburb and his career as a theatre and TV artist, the actor requested everyone to watch Marathi films in theatre. “These days, I can see such bad films becoming highly successful which makes me feel bad.”

All in all, the joy of getting to interact with their respected star in an informal manner was visible from the audience’s faces. Khedekar’s humbleness was seen from the fact that he respectfully answered even a couple of strange questions from the audience.

(The remaining part of this interesting interaction will be published soon. Ek Kalakar, Ek Sandhyakal will take place every month in Mumbai with prominent people from the Marathi film industry. Stay tuned to our FACEBOOK PAGE for information regarding the next installment of the event.)

Dialogues: Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns

March 11, 2013 by Keyur Seta Leave a Comment

By: Keyur Seta

Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns is one of the rare films of today’s times which can boast of its super-impressive dialogues. The lines written by Dhulia and Kamlesh Pandey are not run-of-the-mill types but intelligently witty and highly impactful. I have just compiled some of those below. Enjoy!

  • Bohat sasti ho chuki ho tum. Tumhe dene ke liye humare paas chillar bhi nahin hai.
  • Agar hum yahan baithe baithe Dubai mein kaand karwa sakte hain phir aapka ghar toh humare  ghar se sirf 300 kilometer ki doori par hai.
  • Humari toh gaali pe bhi taali padti hai.
  • Bandookon ka shauk humko bhi nahin tha. Woh bas zinda rehne ki zaroorat shauk ban gayi.
  • Yeh humesha mard hi kyun milte hai humein? Shayar kyun nahin milte?
  • Chaand pe baad mein chale jana. Pehle dharti ko toh theek se jaan lo.
  • Humara itihaas hai aur hum kal bhi itihaas banayenge.
  • Aapko pata hai mard zyada gaaliyan kyun dete hain? Kyunki woh rote kum hain.
  • Humein maafi maangte dekh aapko badi khushi ho rahi thi na? Maaf kijiyega yeh khushi hum aapko zyada der nahin de paye.
