Joker (2012)
This JOKER doesn't make you laugh!
If you really want to laugh without any laughing moment, JOKER is just for you! I am damn sure, you will do anything, but laugh! Producer Farah Khan while promoting the film, confidently said that 'Joker' would make for a great family viewing at the theaters as elders wouldn't have to worry about raunchy kisses and scintillating skin show popping every now and then in front of the kids. It is fine for the director to think of making a 'clean' movie, but at least there has to be a story to make people sit in the theater. And I doubt that the kids of today, after being fed with Hollywood flicks like 'Ice Age' and 'Spy Kids' would buy this Kunder's fantasy. The story is very run-of the-mill. Akshay (Augustya), a NASA scientist returns to India to improve the condition of his village named 'Paglapur', apparently which has lost its identity from the face of the earth. Now since the administrators have no clue as to under whose jurisdiction Paglapur exist, Augustya's village is devoid of any basic amenities like bijli and paani leading to the inhabitants going eccentric who incidentally happen to be former fugitives of a mental asylum. To improve the situation, Augustya with the help of the villagers hatches an absurd plan to attract media and the administration's attention, but somehow the scheme doesn't work out eventually leading to utter chaos.
Finally, the 'unimaginable' (which was very predictable) happens and Paglapur gets the due it long deserved.
In the acting department, besides Akshay, Shreyas Talpade manages to tickle the funny bone with his gibberish talk. Sonakshi, as usual is just there for the ornamental purpose, but what is really unfortunate is the editing of the film which I expected to be top class considering that it is coming from Shirish Kunder, the master editor himself.
My ratings 1/5 and must say not to spend money on this. Wait for the DVD which will come sooner than expected!
The Expendables 2 (2012)
A Waste of time, Boring GUN action and NO story!
I watched Expendables-2 today at V3S Mall(Fun Cinemas), Lakshmi Nagar, New Delhi. This time Fun Cinema sucked! There was no full screen and even it was out of focus and blurred. I felt I am watching a pirated movie!
Now come to the movie. The movie has some good but boring GUN action, but don't know why I didn't like the movie much. Story was very flat (in fact no story). Arnold, Bruce, Jet Li and Chuck have a very less screen appearance. Sly and Jason are the main leads. Even the 'villain' Van Damme has also a weak part which could have been much much better, because there was a lot scope to his character. The biggest problem with the movie is a very weak story and a very less duration as compared to the characters in the film. I was very much positive about the role of Arnold but he got very less time on the screen. He must be given chance to show some muscular action, although he is aged now but with Arnold, expectations rise automatically. Sly should have opted Rajnikant instead of Chuck Norris :p All in all, Expendebles-2 is a weak film even it has hell amount of the action heroes. With said that, I really liked "The A Team" in this genre. I watched The A Team 2 years ago. The A Team is like Expendables but the treatment of The A Team was far far superior. It had some story, twists and some very nice action. I would still recommend you watch "The A Team". It is far better than Expendables-2. (The opening scene was stolen from The A-Team, but they couldn't make it better).
I wasted my Rs 600 on this garbage!
My rating for Expendables-2 is 1/5.
Ek Tha Tiger (2012)
A Full Paisa Wasool Movie
EK THA TIGER is just an awesome movie! I watched it today at V3S Mall (FR). The opening sequence was just more than awesome! The rest of the movie was also great. The action was superb and top notch and far better than any other Hollywood Spy Movies like recent James Bond movies! There were not pure comedy scenes but some situations and dialogues were just funny! Music has been always a best part of Salaman's movies and it shows here too! A full PAISA WASOOL movie! And a great applause for the Director Kabir Khan for his best direction ever! Go and watch this movie with your family! Missing this will be a crime ;)
PS:- Please watch any movie while keeping your 'brain' at your home. If you want to apply 'Brains' then better watch Discovery Channel.
