Maazii - movie review

The near perfect life of Tarun (Sumit Nijhawan) and Shrishti (Mona Wasu) goes through a sea change after an act of bravery pushes a reluctant Tarun into the limelight. Debutant director Jaideep Chopra’s Maazii is a pleasant surprise.

Maazii open with the interrogation of a ruthless goon Rathi (Pankaj Tripathi) in a small police station, where the Senior Inspector is filing a report of the goon who is caught red handed in a case of rape and mass murder case.

John Day is a thriller from the producers of the 2008 acclaimed thriller A Wednesday.

John Day - movie review...

Directed by Ahishor Solomon,John Day is lifted from the 2002 Spanish film, La Caja 507 (Box507). It begins with teenage boy impressing his girlfriend by driving into dense forest, and then taking her into an abandoned estate. She is impressed, but that’s the last time we see her and the next scene is her parents carrying out her final rituals and laying her body to peace. What would have been a taut thriller, the film goes haywire as the screenplay loosens its pace and at times it is frustratingly slow. John Day(Naseeruddin Shah) is a bank manager, and a happy family man with his wife (Shernaz Patel) and a teenage daughter. This young girl, after lying to her parents, goes off on a vacation with her boyfriend. The boy wants to be different, and he doesn ....

Grand Masti
Grand Masti comes from the makers of Masti (2004), and ever since its initial promos it was projected as an adult comedy film, and so it is. It isn’t expected to be a family film. Though the comedy at times falls much below our expectations. Simply put, most of the times it is cheap humour. Take for instance, even the first part – Masti wasn’t appreciated by the family audience or the classes. This one too would be lapped up by the masses. Especially the Indian audience, maybe because there have never been Bollywood adult comedies before which can be equated or compared with. It is a bit surprising that Deshmukh Junior and Vivek Oberoi signed for such ‘adult comedy’ which in its conclusion, is much below the ideal or broadly adult comedy levels. Grand Masti is about three ex-students of a college - Amar, Prem and Meet (Ritesh Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Vivek Obe ....

Shuddh Desi Romance is a fresh and real love story about the hair-raising minefield between love, attraction and commitment. Supposedly a romantic comedy that tells it like it is, but it isn’t. Having a talented cast in this candid look at the affairs of the heart in today’s desi heartland like the endearing Rishi Kapoor, handsome Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra yet it is the debutant Vaani Kapoor who impressed the most. This rom-com, directed by Maneesh Sharma, written by Jaideep Sahni, and produced by Aditya Chopra is a journey of three restless young people who junk the society's syllabus for finding love and decide to follow their heart.

Zanjeer is an action film directed by Apoorva Lakhia, which marks the Bollywood debut of Tollywood actor Ram Charan in the lead role as the cop, along with Priyanka Chopra an NRI on a visit to friends wedding in Mumbai, and a witness to a murder. Before we go further, if this remake is compared to the original Zanjeer (Amitabh and Jaya), then it would be wise to rate it as 2/5 stars. As there is no one to match the intensity and angry young man looks of Amitabh few decades ago. There should be no comparison with the 1973 film with the iconic Amitabh and Pran as Sher Khan. Watching the film as the new generation would view it, this one has all the action and fun expected in a Bollywood film. Scene to scene copying of the original one would have made it a serious action film. Coming back to the story, Assistant Commissioner of Police Vijay Khanna (Ram Charan) is a brutally honest police ....
