Zanjeer 2.0 movie review

Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Zanjeer 2.0 starring Priyanka Chopra and Ram Charan is nothing close to the original version which had Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. The film comes off more as a typical Bollywood masala flick than an action thriller. No, we aren’t saying there is no action. Of course there is, with numerous fights in the film… in fact, so many that after a while we lose track of who is bashing up whom and why, but these brawls fail to create too much of an impression.

Unlike the original film which begins with the murder of Vijay Khanna’s parents, the remake starts with a squalid item number ‘Chahe jitni guzaarish kar le’ and though the director had promised that his item girl would take the industry by storm, this one is definitely thanda. We’ve certainly seen better! Once the song ends, Ram Charan (ACP Vijay Khanna) wakes up to his oft-repeated nightmare, of a hooded man killing his parents. A sweaty Ram vents his frustration on a punching bag – the scene would’ve looked very hot if it wasn’t for Ram himself! Soon after, the fight sequences begin, one following the other in quick succession. Ram single-handedly and very violently fights off a politician and his goons, which results in his being transferred for the umpteenth time. This scene reveals one truth: politics always triumphs over what’s right!

No, the romance between Bollywood Stars Piggy Chops and Teja doesn’t begin until Ram shelters Priyanka in his home when she’s almost killed and loses all her belongings. How sweet, no? That’s not all, though. Ram, like any good superhero, is always at the right place at the right time to save the damsel in distress.

The villain, played by Prakash Raj (Rudraprakash Teja) is rudra in every possible way. He is cruel, violent, brutal, savage and barbarous. We love this bad man! Mahie Gill (Mona darling) plays his horny mistress. While there’s no chemistry between the two, their cheesy dialogues convey their relationship.

The cinematography is not bad. In fact, the camera angles are just right, especially while capturing Ram Charan. But despite that he doesn’t have a strong screen presence. Some dialogues by Priyanka and Prakash hit the target. The songs were forced and one or two less would have worked well to help us stay in our seats instead of restively longing for the interval.

Of course, the film has a happy Bollywood ending with the triumph of good over evil. In fact, after watching the last scene, it seems as if the makers are hoping to do a sequel to Zanjeer 2.0 – as if the remake wasn’t enough! Priyanka’s fans can enjoy this one for her presence, but anyone hoping to watch some great action is likely to be disappointed…

Shuddh Desi Romance movie review: Absolutely unadulterated shuddh desi entertainment!

In Shuddh Desi Romance, we get to meet the innocent looking Raghuram Shriram (Sushant Singh Rajput). Well! do not go by his name. He's is a super confused chap, really naughty and romantic at heart. Raghu falls in love with the bold Gayatri (Bollywood Actress Parineeti Chopra), with whom he starts living together. The couple seems very much in love, until the day when they decide to get married to each other and Gayatri dumps Raghu on the day of their wedding ceremony. 

Then enters the beautiful Tara (Vaani Kapoor), who is actually a matured and sensible woman. Tara is the same woman, who was once dumped by Raghu in the past on their day of wedding. Well! does the plot seem really confusing? If so, there's a lot more boredom coming up in the flick.

Shuddh Desi Romance lacks soul and suffers due to its weak script. Though funny at times, on the whole, very monotonous. Shuddh Desi Romance could have got rid of some unneccesary scenes and instances, but at the end, gets stretched to an extent, when the viewers literally starts to yawn.

Sushant Singh Rajput is super cute and retains his boy-next-door charm. He delivers an amazing performance and lives up to our expectations. Parineeti Chopra overracts at times, and does an OK job. Vaani Kapoor is impressive and equally gorgeous.

Dhoom: 3 teaser: Aamir Khan, all the way!

The wait is finally over! Here’s the most anticipated teaser of the year’s most awaited action flick Dhoom: 3. And here is Bollywood Actor Aamir Khan playing baddie in the most risky way that will steal your heart and leave your jaw gaping wide open.

Right from the opening frame, where the Mr Perfectionist is standing against the imposing skyline of Chicago showing off his toned back, the movie looks slick, high on adrenaline and elevated to new heights by its superb production values. Powered by the tall presence of Abhishek Bachchan and the quirky antics of Uday Chopra, this trailer will take your breath away.

And then there’s Katrina Kaif - ooh man! She showcases the explosive streak in her otherwise elegant persona with elan. From her killer rope act to the way she twists her lithe body, Kat will grab you by the…err… eyeballs with her fiery screen avatar . The silent voiceover will give you an instant kick and the sight of Aamir sliding with his bike under an enormous truck will raise the hair on the back of your neck instantly.

Will Hrithik Roshan do Krrish 4?

Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 3 is slated for release on November 4, 2013 and the actor is giving in his best to promote the film. We hear that he plans to dedicate all his dates for Krrish 3 till November 15; however, post that he will cut off from Krrish 3 and move on to Bang Bang (his next with Katrina Kaif).

The Krrish 3 actor, who finds it ‘exhilarating, exciting and yet, nerve-wracking’ to work on Krrish 3 says that Krrish 4 could possibly be on the cards. He adds, “It is the only franchise that has lasted a decade. All the other franchises – Spider-Man, Superman or X-Men – have had to be revamped. But Krrish is the only one going on.”

Hrithik, whose films’ schedules were affected ‘coz of his li’l break feels that the release dates of his upcoming films Bang Bang and Shuddhi are likely to be pushed forward. He says, “The Prague schedule of Bang Bang went for a toss, so I don’t know whether Shuddhi will come by the end of next year. I’m guessing we will have fresh release dates for both films.”

The Bollywood actor added, “Every film has its own destiny. All I have to do is, do my best.” Well, true that! Focussing on the present, let’s keep our fingers crossed for the release of Krrish 3 and we hope the film is as good as its promising trailer!
