Review: Players (2012)

Image
These ' Players ' lose the game! Score:3/10 ' Players ' which is an official remake of ' The Italian Job ', clearly makes a fool out of itself. Though I tried my best to keep myself without comparing it with the original, compare or not, the film is like the kindergarten version of the classic. The acting lacks intensity, particularly from Sonam's end, only Neil Mukesh gets somewhere with his villainous act. The train robbery scene doesn't give any edge-of-the seat moments, making such an improbable task look like cake-walk. There are some insanely foolish humour, pushed inside the film, trying to make a masala-flick. The twists degrades the credibility of the film, making it a joke! The music is awful with laughable lyrics. But the only place where the film scores is with its cinematography, because there are some moments which captures the scene beautifully. Director duo Abbas-Mustan easily did better with Race . In all, if you are looking ...

Review: DON 2 (2011)

Image
Don 2 may just be the movie to cure Ra.1 nightmares! Score:6/10  The movie clearly has raised the bar of Indian cinema, with action genre at least. Its punches, plot line and sharp editing makes it unarguably the best of the lot, so far (in bollywood). It starts with a bang on a contraband deal that goes wrong, in Thailand . The story then moves on to Malaysia , where Don surrenders himself to the interpol only to escape with Vardhaan to Germany . Here, the story develops around a mission of a near improbable heist. The movie doesn't waste much time before the robbery begins and with it the twists and turns. A refreshing take on car-chase sequences and some raw action keeps the movie upbeat. The downside would be Priyanka Chopra trying too hard to look serious and with her some other newbies as well. The background score was a major disappointment for its incapability to walk with the film's tone. The cheeky one-liners can make us laugh and also make us say, "...

Review: Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012)

Image
Silsila is still my favourite Yash Chopra film Score: 5/10 A movie after 8 years from the acclaimed personality, Yash Chopra , but is it really worth the wait? The answer is neither a complete yes nor a no. Technically the director has improved a lot in his movie making but still has not been able to use the story to its full potential mainly due to lazy editing and bollywood formulaic orientations. The story starts with Samar Anand ( Shahrukh Khan ), a high ranking army officer working with bomb disposal squad, who is aka "the man who cannot die" for his daredevil ways of diffusing bombs. Samar meets Akira ( Anushka Sharma ) while rescuing her from drowning and covers her with his jacket to keep her warm where he mistakenly leaves his diary. She starts reading it and this is where the whole story of his youth and love in London is conveyed. Akira works with the Discovery channel where she's permitted to shoot her dream documentary on the bomb disposal squa...

Flames Dance to Eternity

Image
I bathe in passions with flow of avalanche, Like a dry leaf gliding in the wind of dance, A woman lost in orgasmic romance, And flame freeing to eternal, from a lance. I am the music, who only breathes to be, Like waves of the ocean in pure harmony. Sensuality alone's the touch I feel And sway in its rhythm like my ever meal. -SURAJ (05/01/2010)

Drops of Echoes

It's a very dim rainy day, All looks so quiet and yet gay. For others I can't probably say, But I, on chair, by window, lay. The past echoes with childhood joys: Calls me to be free, one more time. An empty dream, I realize, And a tear rolls, "goodbye eyes..." It's nostalgic: the memories they bring. It's romantic: the life we hearty cling. "Why is life so mysterious being?" All I am answered is, rain can't sing! -SURAJ (09/06/2010)

Believing in SMILE

I'll pull out my eyes If they show fear. I'll chop my ears If discourage they hear. I will  cut my head off If they think worry: But never 'Believe' That puts me to bury! -SURAJ (14/11/2009)
