‘gooliyan ki raasleela Raam Leela’- Movie Review- Tanmay Dubey

 

Starring: - Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Richa Chaddha, Supriya Pathak

Director:- Sanjay Leela Bhansali

 

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is like a painter who fills every inch of the screen with color, his finesse of picture making combine storytelling with heart stirring music and coupled with good performances. The cinema that he presents has its own class.

 

‘Goliyon ki Rasleela- Ramleela’ is loosely based on Shakespeare’s tragic tale of love ‘Romeo and Juliet’. The makers have nicely adapted the original settings into two underworld rival families of Gujarat, where the lovebirds fall in love, but the twist in tale pitch the lovers on different battleground where their love is tested against their dharma or duty. This type of offering is not new to the Indian audience right from ‘Qayamat se…’till ‘Ishaqzaade’ we have seen number of love stories being made in this setup.

 

The good part of the film is the electrifying chemistry between Ranveer Singh (his bronzed and chiseled look is to die for) and Deepika Padukone (passionate couple never leaves a chance to steal a Zealous kiss!) Gigantic and beautiful sets, some good lighting effects and a haunting background score with winning performances from Supriya Pathak, Richa Chaddha and Obviously the lead pair.

 

The sad part of the film is that it is little scratchy where the execution of a brilliant scene is screeched by an awful song (Bhansali ji, you may have a good ear for music, but your skills as a music director is far off from a full time music director) the absence of a full time music director and some soulful music is deeply regretted in the film. The music is again patchy except, tattad tattad, & nagada sang which reminds you of dhol baaje from “hum dil….sanam” is good, rest of them are just about OK. (Don’t miss the appalling item dance song from Priyanka Chopra)  Bhansali ji your sensitivity while portraying emotional story is to die for, masala offering is certainly not your piece of pie.

 

The film has lot of blood, gore and good drama.  The plot in the second half becomes little complex and runs towards the end leaving little room for  details yet Bhansali’s experience in film making keeps you rooted to the seat and you wait till the end.

 

All in all a teekha mirchi achaar for this weekend!

‘Krrish 3’- Movie Review- Tanmay Dubey

 

Starring: - Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Vivek Oberoi, Kangna Ranaut

Director:- Rakesh Roshan

 

Rakesh Roshan is a master story teller; he has proved it repeatedly for over two decades in Indian Film Industry. Be it a Revenge drama (Khoon Bhari Maang) or a Rebirth Story (Karan Arjun), or India’s First Alien film (Koi Mil Gaya) or the latest desi Super Hero Series (Krrish) Roshan Saab has delivered each content with packed conviction and stirring the hearts of millions of people.

 

Krrish 3 begins from where Krrish ends. Rohit Mehra (Hrithik of KMG), Krishna (Hrithik of Krrish) and Priya Mehra (Priyanka Chopra) are living their ‘9 to 6’ life. Krishna when he is not busy saving the world (an aero plane crashing, a child falling) is struggling to save his job (as a waiter, as a security guard or whatever! , Ooph these super heros are so good hearted people! )

 

In a faraway land Kaal (Vivek Oberoi, in his best performance after ‘D Company’) is busy creating Maanwar (half humans and half animals!) His evil intentions of destroying the world (I will not divulge any more detail) can only be stopped by Krrish but not before a series of misfortunes hit Krrish’s life (an epidemic, a personal attack) and what then follows is a riveting exhibition of VFX (grossly engaging and superbly done! by far the best by Indian Standards) and gigantic clash between the evil who is as strong and as big as the superhero. In the fight, the super hero falls only to rise as more stronger and bigger to kill the Evil.

 

The makers of ‘Krrish 3’ strongly follow the guideline and rule book of ‘how to direct a superhero film’. The film has got all, a preaching hero, a world saving hero, a merchandising hero, (Yes you can draw similarities from SpiderMans, X-Men, Wolverines of this world) but nothing wrong in that! Common fellas Super Hero is a west invented Idea. Don’t we adhere to so many processes and I dare say copy west in innumerable things!

 

Another good part of Krrish is its taut story line and fast paced screenplay, which despite being little complex keeps you engaged and there is never a dull moment in the film ( except ishwar allah song,) Kya kare whatever we may say about a ‘hollywood concept’ a bollywood film has to have its share of song and dance!

 

Hrithik excels in performance (both as Rohit and Krrish) don’t miss his six or eight packs; I forgot the count in awe when I saw them on screen! Kangana Chameleons her way in the film. Priyanka too gets chance to play diff shades in her character. Music however which was always a strong point of Filmkraft's production is average, except Raghupati Raghav which is good but do not lit up the dance floor as it was supposed to be.

 

All in all a super patakha for this Diwali! Don't forget to tag your kids along............

 

Score Stack Up:-

+ ive:-  Super VFX, Engaging Screen play, Great performance & Hrithik Roshan

-  ive:-  might look like a rip off of earlier superhero films

 

Box Office, Paisa Vasool Rating:- 4 out of 5
