DIL BOLE HADIPPA REVIEWED



Dil Bole........ is a movie which elicits mixed feelings after watching it.It is neither too good not overtly bad. It has its fair share of celebration and also the drawbacks.

BRIEF PLOT
Anupam Kher is an ardent cricket fan who likes to compete with his Pakistani friend every now and then in cricket matches in which 11 men represent each one of them.
Anupam Kher has been perpetually losing all the battles since many years as his team always find reasons to lose by playing below par cricket than his counterpart's team.
Shahid plays the son of Anupam Kher who plays in the English county as a very senior player who is called by his dad to resurrect the lost fortunes of his dad's team. As he arrives in India from UK,Shahid falls for Rani Mukherjee whom he loathes at the first site. Meanwhile Rani is a different girl who aspires to achieve big in the cricketing arena despite the odds.How she tries her luck in getting into Shahid's team by feigning being a sikh and brother of Veera (Rani) forms the rest of the story.

POSITIVES
1.Shahid and Rani form a great pair and their chemistry oozes out on the screen.

2.Rani is her acting best and so is Shahid.

3.The situations intended to be funny are funny.

4.The colours look simply wonderful to the eyes throughout the movie.

5.Rani playing a male Veer is superb.

6.The music is in synchrony with the story and keeps you entertained.

7.Anupam Kher and his Pakistani friend are brilliant.

8.the story will be loved by romantics and Yashraj followers who shall be treated to eulogies of Yashraj films in various scenes in the movie.


NEGATIVES
1.The story is extremely predictable.

2.No particular sequence is well developed and less time has been given to all and thus scenes change the moment they pick up their show.

3.Skimpy outfits make you wonder how it can be called a family watch?

4.Same old it all happens well in the end in sport movies cliche is at you again.

In toto it is a fine movie which will be loved more by those who believe in romantic flicks and light entertainment. ILL GO WITH 2.5/5 FOR THIS ONE. Save your money by taking this one from me.




WANTED may be unreal,unreasonable and inexplicable but in the same breath it must be said that it is entertaining,with a storyline matching hindi movies of the 70s and 80s and heralds the reinstatement of Salman Khan in the high performers of the industry.

BRIEF PLOT

The induction of a new police officer in the ranks of the Mumbai police commences the muzzling of the Mumbai mafia gangs. The police are out to nab all the goons and most importantly the kingpin Gani bhai who is into illegal activities big time.Salman plays a character named Radhey who is ostensibly a local thug who does everything by his own admission for money.He falls for Janhavi a middle class girl whom he meets by chance at a tv shop.The film is equally about the love story of Radhey as it is about the strong armed man and his obver the top assaults.

POSITIVES

1.Salman Khan is the biggest positive point of this movie. After a long time has a film come in which the main protagonist or the hero drives the story and after a long time Salman has done back breaking action literally at that.

So point 1 is being divided into sub parts to tell you why exactly is Salman so essential to the movie and how exactly does he pinch you to sustain the interest in the movie:

1(a).Salman delivers his dialogues with unprecedented panache. Its the dialogues which embellish this movie at various times and are an essence of the movie.

(b)Salman finally pushes himself out of his easy comfort zone to deliver something special. His performance throughout is praiseworthy.

(c)Salman dances superbly courtesy Prabhu Deva.

(d)Salman has finally showcased his extremely stout built including 8 pack abs contrary to the thought that he had succumbed to the pleasures of alcohol.





(e)Salman ekes out a brilliant chemistry with a fading actress whose age is also almost 20 years less than his.

2.Prabhu Deva as a director has come out with a gem of an entertainer. There are hardly portions in the movie where the tempo and interest sags.

3. Prabhu deva has made Salman Dance , a phenomenon seen after a long long time.

4. Ayesha Takia has done a role worth mention in the "positives of reviews" only after the movie Dor.

5. A new chemistry is born that too a surprising one. Salman sits perfectly as the inamorata of Ayesha Takia who in turn compliments the beast to the hilt.

6. Vinod Khanna and Mahesh Manjrekar as usual continue to excel in the parts they have been given and those parts are really crucial to the story.

7. The cravings of action lovers are surely assuaged as the action and fast sequences adorn the core part opf the movie with Salman at the heart of it all.

8. Barring a few profane words and expletives there is nothing which can be dubbed as adult.Infact it is a family film.

9. It is a totally fun packed film which can be seen and kept at the cinema hall only to come out with some sweet portions of it without much of a re think on any of the scenes.

10. Salman's inadvertent and intelligent comic timing is superb and coaxes even a person like yours truly(a difficult and stubborn person to make laugh) to laugh .

11. The Mughal e azam sequences in the beginning.

NEGATIVES

Far and few between but there are some.

1.The moves done by Salman are hard to believe unlike a Ghajini which satisfies the viewer of the violence that takes place in it seeing the hefty Aamir.

2.Songs are clearly added for the sake of it.

3.The film follows a very predictable and hunky dory storyline with everything falling in place as is surmised by the discerning viewer, thus it makes one reminisce of the action films of 70s and 80s or the current crop of south films where 1 person handles 15 men simultaneously .

On the whole the film is very entertaining and makes your mood to move on to do some other important tasks in life.Go for it woth your family and you wont regret it one bit. If you do then read my blog. ILL GO WITH 3.5/5 FOR THIS ENTERTAINER. A TREAT TO WATCH FOR THE SALLU DIE HARD.
